A real Apple Log example
From flat Log
to standard SDR color.
The same scene, at the same moment, from a supplied VideoFix conversion.
Matching frames at 2.000 seconds from the supplied original and supplied H.264 SDR export. No creative color adjustment was applied to these frames. Apple Log is not HDR; this is one conversion example, not a guarantee for every source or display. Tap a frame to inspect it.
Try it before you download
Find a sensible export starting point.
Pick a source and a destination requirement. This guide recommends a workflow; it does not inspect or convert a video.
Start with the destination.
Select the source and requirement, then find a workflow. Always check the exported copy in its intended destination.
Everyday uses
A copy for the place it is going.
Sharing a clip
Your video looks right in Photos, but a recipient sees flat or unusual color. Check whether the source is HDR or Log and whether the destination expects SDR. Create a standard-color copy when that is the requirement, then check the received version. Keep the original for a future HDR edit.
Prepare an SDR copy ↗Handing footage to an editor
Ask for the required codec, resolution and frame rate before converting. If H.264 MP4 is requested, an HEVC source can need a compatibility copy even when its color is already SDR. Export a short sample first and confirm it works in the actual editing project.
Understand the format choice ↗Preparing several clips
Select a batch when several videos need the same output goal. Mixed footage can still contain different colors, frame rates and dimensions. Check each result instead of assuming one successful clip proves the entire batch. Allow storage for the originals and the new copies.
Plan a batch export ↗How it works
From source to shareable copy.
Choose your goal
Open Convert HDR to SDR, Change Frame Rate or Extract Audio, then select your videos.
Check the settings
Review the source and choose resolution, frame rate or an optional size limit for your destination.
Preview and save
Check the converted copy, then share it or save it to Photos. Keep the original for future edits.
Know what you are converting
Check the source.
Choose the export.
See the video’s format and color information before conversion. Choose output resolution, or switch to a steady 24, 25, 30 or 60 FPS for your editing workflow.
When HEVC needs an H.264 copy ↗Keep a separate copy
Preview it.
Then pass it on.
Play the result before sharing. Save it to Photos or send it to another app; the source file is not overwritten.
Follow the batch conversion workflow ↗Actual app screens with example media and settings. Open a screen to inspect it full size.
Choose for your task
Do you need a conversion?
Choose the smallest change that satisfies the delivery requirement. Keeping a working source is a valid choice.
| What you need | A starting point | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| The source already plays correctly | Keep the original | No extra conversion is needed just because the file came from an iPhone. |
| Standard SDR color is required | Create a Rec.709 SDR copy | Use color conversion for supported HDR or Apple Log sources, then inspect the output. |
| H.264 is requested | Make an H.264 MP4 | A codec change can matter even if the source is already SDR or already has an .mp4 extension. |
| The project needs a steady frame rate | Use Change Frame Rate | Choose the project requirement and check motion and sound after export. |

Tools for the handoff after filming.
VideoFix is made by Space Sheep Studio for the handoff after filming. You may want to keep your HDR or Log original while sending a standard-color copy, or give an editor the format their project requires. Source information, export choices and a preview of the finished file help you make that separate copy with a clear purpose.

Before you start.
Is Apple Log the same as HDR?
No. Log footage and HDR video are different sources. VideoFix can convert supported Apple ProRes Log footage or HDR video to standard Rec.709 SDR color. The comparison on this page is an Apple Log example.
Can I convert HEVC that is already SDR?
Yes. Choose Convert HDR to SDR for an H.264 MP4 compatibility copy, including when the HEVC source is already SDR.
Will the copy look exactly like my original?
Conversion re-encodes the video, and HDR-to-SDR changes the brightness and color range. Keep your original and check color, sound and playback in the intended destination.
Can it fix every editing or playback problem?
No. A compatible codec or constant frame rate can help an appropriate workflow, but it cannot repair every existing synchronization problem. Device and destination requirements still apply.
Can I save only the sound?
Yes. Extract Audio saves the supported first audio track as an AAC M4A file.
What is included after the free conversions?
After three successful free conversions, Lifetime or Monthly Pro unlocks unlimited conversions. Lifetime is one payment; Monthly renews until you cancel it. Restore purchases with the Apple Account used for the purchase.
Why does my video look washed out after sharing?
A destination may interpret HDR or Log differently from the app where you filmed it. First check the source color information and compare playback in the intended destination. If that workflow needs standard SDR, make a Rec.709 copy; changing the filename to MP4 alone does not perform color conversion.
Is MP4 the same thing as H.264?
No. MP4 is a container, while H.264 and HEVC are video codecs. A video can already be an MP4 and still use a codec your destination does not accept. Choose the output codec and color handling for the destination rather than relying on the file extension.
Do I need to convert every iPhone video?
No. If the destination already accepts the source and it looks correct, keep using it. A separate conversion is useful when you need standard SDR color, H.264 compatibility, a selected frame rate or a different output resolution.
Can I change the frame rate for an editing project?
Yes. The frame-rate tool offers steady 24, 25, 30 and 60 FPS choices. Match the requirement of your project, then check movement and sound in the exported clip. A different frame rate cannot recover motion that was never captured.
Can I process a folder of clips in one go?
You can select several videos and apply a shared conversion goal. Review each finished copy because source clips can differ in color, resolution and frame rate. Keep enough free storage for both your originals and the outputs.
Will conversion make every video smaller?
No. Output size depends on duration, resolution, frame rate and encoding settings. H.264 can be larger than an efficient HEVC source. Use the optional size limit when appropriate and inspect the actual output size and quality afterwards.
Will my original footage be overwritten?
The workflow creates a separate converted copy. Keep your original until you have checked the export and any backups you need. Deleting source footage is a separate decision; a successful conversion is not a backup.
What should I check before sending the result?
Open the saved file, play the beginning and end, listen to the sound and inspect color in the app or device that will receive it. Check orientation, duration and file size as well as whether the video opens.
Should I use SDR for a project that needs HDR?
Keep the HDR source for an HDR delivery workflow. SDR conversion makes a different version for a standard-color destination; it is not an upgrade to the original. Check the delivery specification before choosing the output.
Where can I get help with a particular clip?
Use the VideoFix support page and describe the source format, intended output and where playback fails. Include the app and iOS versions and the steps you tried. You do not need to send private footage just to describe the issue.
