Finally, an HDR image is directly in the web browser. It is not an image, but a so-called still-frame video. Whatever works to get the screen bright 🙂
The footage of my side project during the pandemic in February of 2021 got a re-work.
- All the 7-bracket Canon 7D photos were processed again, this time to ACEScg EXRs files directly.
- The merged files were “graded” on my MBP in HDR using the new ACES 2.0 image formation pipeline.
- After the grading was done, the image formation pipeline was switched to ACES 1.3 (with RGC), OpenDRT, and JP_2499 via DCTL in Resolve 20 Studio without any trim pass.
- A compilation of the best images can be watched in UHD-HDR on YouTube.
- The intro “still” image is also a video file. But it works…
HDR still image
…there is a good chance you see only an empty space. I tested this page on an iPhone Pro, iPad, and MacBookPro. They all show the HDR “image”.
I also could test this page on a basic Android mobile phone. Chrome does not support these still “video” files it seems. At least not on this specific device.

For the Social Media format exports I used FCPX.
