Prepare your photographs
Develop RAW files in 32-bit float, apply local AI Denoise, and adjust Ultra HDR gain maps without bracketing.
Acutance · Smart TV
Your HDR, on the big screen.
Develop your photographs even on a PC with an SDR screen. Acutance Studio automatically prepares a 4K/8K HDR slideshow for a compatible TV or uploads it directly to YouTube.
From PC to TV
Your PC display does not determine the output.
You do not need an HDR monitor on the computer to create the HDR video: Studio processes the photographs and writes an HDR10 signal into the file. With the built-in upload button, you can publish slideshows directly to your YouTube channel preserving PQ/Rec.2020 HDR metadata.

Build the slideshow
Choose order, transitions, music and timing. Slides default to eight seconds; zoom starts from the whole frame towards a detected face or the image centre.
03
Export or Upload to YouTube
Studio produces 4K/8K HDR10 10-bit video. Save to USB or upload directly to your YouTube channel with secure Google OAuth authentication.
AV1 / HDR10
Check the TV’s player.
This release exports AV1 video and includes no H.264 or H.265 software encoders. Before creating a long slideshow, test the sample in the player you will use: the panel’s HDR capability and support for the video file are separate requirements.
Format specifications and documentation: AOMedia · AV1 ↗.
Two different checks
On the TV
10-bit AV1 decoding, HDR10 support and a compatible player.
In Studio
AV1 export; no H.264 or H.265 software encoder is bundled.
On the big screen
Try it on your TV.
Download the complete 4K HDR10/AV1 demo, copy it to USB and open it in the TV player. Look for the TV’s HDR indicator: successful playback alone does not prove that HDR is displayed.
Press Play for the full 4K HDR10 slideshow (6:28). HDR playback requires a compatible browser and display.
