What is HDR? πŸ€”

HDR stands for high dynamic range. In simple terms, it's the range of light and dark tones in your videos. This can affect the highlights and shadows that are seen in your video.

Why do I need to turn this off?

HDR can affect colour of the video when uploaded to the Billo Creator's App. If you uploaded the video and the colour looks off, washed out and different compared to the the video before uploading, there's a big chance your HDR was on.
