High Dynamic Range (HDR) video, designed to capture a wider range of luminance than standard video, can appear unexpectedly soft or indistinct when uploaded to Instagram. This perceived blurriness often arises from a combination of factors relating to compression, platform limitations, and display capabilities.
The utilization of HDR in video creation offers benefits such as enhanced color fidelity and increased contrast, creating more visually engaging content. However, the complexities of translating this high-quality video to platforms like Instagram, which prioritize bandwidth and storage efficiency, often lead to compromises in visual clarity. Historically, social media platforms have struggled to fully support the nuances of HDR technology, leading to unintended visual artifacts.
