When I played it in <strong>QuickTime Player</strong>, everything looked perfectly fine. Colors were natural, highlights weren’t blown out—life was good.</p> <p>Then I opened the same video in another app (or dropped it into an editor with SDR footage), and suddenly everything looked way too bright. Skin tones were off, highlights were screaming, and the whole thing just didn’t match my other clips.</p>
