4k HDR Clips Uploaded To Youtube Lose Color

Every capture i upload to youtube is 4k but the color is very slight and washed out. My television is capable of HDR and the colors are vibrant when playing the game while capturing it My television even states that its in 4k HDR mode at the top of the screen
as im playing so i know it is set correctly. It just seems my captures lose HDR somewhere between the capture and upload. Anyone else having this issue ?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Include 4k UHD recording in Game-DVR

Now that several seem to have the new XBox One S supporting 4k UHD and HDR, it would be natural to ask if the Game-DVR could include support for recording game clips in 4k UHD and HDR as well, and being able to upload these clips to the YouTube app (if
logged in) as 4k YouTube videos with HDR support? It would be really great

 

How do I upload hdr recordings to YouTube

I Recorded an hdr video on my Xbox one x everything was fine hdr clearly working then I uploaded to YouTube and the colors are dull no hdr, how do I properly upload hdr to YouTube I used an external hard drive to record the footage in 4k hdr it says from
my research that I need to add hdr meta data to the video how?

 

I am having the same issue as you... its fine on the xbox, but when I bring the USB pen over to my PC its dim as well... What I do notice though, is that when I turn off the HDR on my Xbox One X, it shows up fine on the recent captures, you know the little
preview windows it gives you? you should try it yourself....

I was informed by Windows Central is that the HDR information on the files are stored separately and thats why this can happen when uploading it to youtube or transferring over to your pc... The PS4 does it altogether, its just the way MS has handled the
files... They need to be merged to get a TRUE HDR image. Hopefully they will update this, as its a REAL PAIN!!

 

Upload High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos - YouTube Help

On the link you can find the description how it should work.

Upload High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos

You can upload High Dynamic Range (HDR) video content to YouTube. HDR videos show higher contrast and more colors than standard digital video.

Viewers can watch HDR videos on compatible mobile devices and HDR TVs. They can also stream HDR videos using Chromecast Ultra to an HDR TV. Viewers can confirm HDR playback when a video is played if they see an "HDR" badge on the playback controls or in
the quality menu.

Viewers watching on non-HDR devices will see the video as a standard dynamic range (SDR) video.

Upload HDR videos
HDR videos must have HDR metadata in the codec or container to be played back properly on YouTube. The most reliable way to properly record the metadata is to Upload High Dynamic Range (HDR) videos - YouTube Help.

If you use a workflow for color grading that doesn't export standard HDR metadata, then you can use the YouTubeHDR/hdr_metadata to add HDR metadata to a video. This
tool will only work correctly if your video was graded using an HDR transfer function.

Note: If you aren't sure if your video was graded using an HDR transfer function, using this tool will badly distort your videos. Many things that have "HDR" in the title were not graded with an HDR transfer function, and
this tool will not work on those videos. If you did not grade your own content in HDR, or don't know what it means to color grade a video, you should not use the YouTube HDR metadata tool.
If you are grading your video, take care to grade in Rec. 2020 with PQ or HLG. Using a different configuration, including DCI P3, will produce incorrect results.

Once a video has been properly marked as HDR, uploading it follows the same process as a normal video upload. YouTube will detect the HDR metadata and process it, producing HDR transcodes for HDR devices and an SDR downconversion for other devices.

Note: HDR videos currently can't be edited with YouTube Web editor.

HDR video requirements
Once you upload a video, YouTube supports all resolutions and will auto-convert HDR video to SDR videos when necessary.

If the colors are crap on the PC, than you do not have the right codec installed and or the correct player.
