Horrible, right? Well, it’s actually easy to do a quick botch fix in post, but you’ll need to download and there’s a free method to do it with DaVinci Resolve, so if you happen to edit in your ‘acquired’ copy of Premiere Pro or other software, you might want to give it a download and check to see if you can run it comfortably. This then resulted in the footage looking like this: The issue is, when originally captured, the brave warrior forgot to turn off their HDR on the monitor before capturing. While editing for it is expensive (EIZO’s monitors run upwards of several thousand dollars), opening up your video editor to be greeted by the flat, dull footage of your SDR based user interface of the video editor can be demoralising.įor instance, the clip we’ve used as an example is that of Lost Ark, a new role-playing game from Smilegate and Amazon, wherein the stallion behind the keyboard defeats a wicked demon boss. See, HDR – High Dynamic Range – is the step above your typical TV output and has entered almost every consumer method of watching something in the last few years. The one thing that’s currently tripping some creators up is the shift to HDR, which can play havoc with the way that it captures video.

We can all agree that ShadowPlay is simple, it’s effective and for the most part, works just as you’d expect. Remember when everyone had to use FRAPS and it would murder the frame rate of even the lowest key game? Or how about trying to juggle OBS’ settings to ensure that you weren’t capturing with your low bitrate streaming settings just having to finesse them just right every single time? The way it works so smoothly – when it does work – without any real negative impact on your performance in-game is astonishing.

NVIDIA’s ShadowPlay is a crucial feature for any budding video game content creator.
