wondering how you shot this. It's indeed the same shot.

Nice work. Could you explain your workflow?

[Asphar]

Hehe, it's actually not "true" HDR, it's a bit of a trick: You need to shoot the video at a high resolution and with a camera that already gives you a decent dynamic range. I compiled an action in Photoshop that enhances a single image to widen its dynamic range through micro contrasting. In CS4 you can open video files, convert them to a smart object and apply filters/actions to the whole clip and export them. That's how I did this. :)

when you export the clip after editing, does it still retain its sound information?

Also, how long did it take to export this footage with the actions/filters applied?

[Asphar]

Yes, Photoshop retains the sound of the clip.

Rendering time for full-hd is pretty slow with all the filtering. I'd say about 4 frames per minute... Depending on the machine of course...

can you give me the action please?

[MarshallArtsWorks]

Thanks for the "how-to" action! :-)

[jradetzky]

the first one is better

[Mindwanderingguitar]

Press "2" and "7" one after the other to get a solid comparison.

[jodroboxes]

Did you use Topaz adjust? i did one with photomatix but it gave alot of flickering.

[Andrea Garza De Leon]

Can you please tell me the changes you made in the action to create HDR ... this is awesome!

[37coolidge]

Great work Asphar. Let me know if you decide to post your script anywhere. Thanks

ummm nah dont like it

[Stuart Lynch]

Was gonna say, this doesn't look like actual tone mapping, but its a nice enough work around.
