View HDR media in the Motion canvas

In Motion, the way HDR images and projects are displayed in the canvas changes based on the capabilities of your computer display. When you’re viewing HDR images on an HDR or SDR display, Motion applies tone mapping, compressing bright image content and reducing the apparent dynamic range of the video to fit the viewable range of the display. You can turn tone mapping on or off.

Tip: To determine the nits value of an image or clip, you can display HDR luminance values in the Motion canvas.

Turn tone mapping on or off

  1. In Motion, open a project that’s set to Wide Gamut HDR or Automatic color processing.

  2. Choose View > Show HDR as Tone Mapped.

    A checkmark indicates that tone mapping is turned on.

    The Show HDR as Tone Mapped setting is not available if Render Color Space is set to Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020.

    When tone mapping is turned off on a system using an SDR display, HDR images are clipped.

    If you’re using an Apple Pro Display XDR or a MacBook Pro with a Liquid Retina XDR display, Show HDR as Tone Mapped is automatically turned off when you choose a reference mode preset, such as HDR Video (P3-ST 2084), from the Presets list in the Displays pane of macOS System Settings.

    Note: The Show HDR as Tone Mapped setting only affects how your project appears on your display—it does not affect your final render.

View HDR media on an XDR display in reference mode

If you’re using a MacBook Pro with a Liquid Retina XDR display or have the Apple Pro Display XDR connected to your computer, you can use it as a professional reference monitor to view HDR images.

  1. In Motion, open a project that’s set to Wide Gamut HDR or Automatic color processing.

  2. Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar.

  3. In the Displays pane, click the Presets pop-up menu, then choose a reference mode preset, such as HDR Video (P3-ST 2084).

    Motion automatically turns off tone mapping to provide the maximum color and brightness accuracy for HDR media playback on the XDR display.

Note: Only the Motion canvas (and export preview image) are capable of displaying accurate HDR color on an HDR monitor. Other areas of the Motion application, such as color pickers or gradient editors, do not display HDR color.
