HDR
What is HDR and how does it enhance image quality?
GLOSSARY
High Dynamic Range (HDR) in motion graphics and photography refers to techniques and technologies that expand the range of both color and contrast in an image. HDR allows for a greater spectrum of colors and more detail in bright and dark areas, offering a more realistic representation of scenes, particularly those with extreme differences in light and shadow.
The image highlights the stark contrast between HDR and SDR. SDR stands for Standard Dynamic Range, which is the traditional range of color and luminance that can be displayed or captured by most current TVs and cameras. HDR brings out a fuller spectrum of color and light, making the flower in the image appear more vivid and detailed, whereas SDR appears flatter. This visual comparison underlines HDR's ability to elevate imagery with enhanced depth and intensity.
HDR imaging is effectively demonstrated in Videobolt’s Pluming Smoke Logo Reveal and Merging Paint Logo Reveal templates, enhancing visual depth and color richness. In Pluming Smoke Logo Reveal, HDR intensifies the vibrancy and detail of the colorful smoke, making the logo reveal visually striking. Similarly, in Merging Paint Logo Reveal, HDR technology enriches the colors and textures of the merging paint, providing a depth that makes the logo stand out impressively against the fluid backdrop.

Technical definition
HDR imagery is achieved by combining multiple photographs or renderings of the same scene at different exposure levels. In video and motion graphics, HDR content requires compatible display technology to fully appreciate the enhanced range.
