View HDR video in the viewer in Final Cut Pro for Mac
In Final Cut Pro 10.4.7 or later, you can choose how to view HDR video in the viewer. The available options depend on the capabilities of your display and which version of macOS you’re using.
On systems with macOS Catalina 10.15 or later, you can view HDR video in the viewer with tone mapping applied, which compresses bright image content and reduces the apparent dynamic range of the video to fit the viewable range of your display.
On systems with macOS Mojave 10.14, you have the option to show details in HDR video. This “flat” view is helpful when you need to see pixel details (for example, to select an area with an eyedropper or add a Draw Mask effect).
Important: To play back the wider range of colors in an HDR project with maximum accuracy, you can use the A/V Output feature with an external reference HDR video monitor. See Play media on an external display in Final Cut Pro for Mac.
