I am struggling since trying to embed HEVC (H.265) videos in FM 6, the colors are displayed correctly in edit mode, but starting the presentation the colors become desaturated (i.e fade out). Videos done in AVC (H.264) mode are still working fine. Any similar experiences in our community and/or idea for the reason?

I’ve got the same problem with new videos in FotoMagico 6.4. After rendering the slide show the colors are also pale. Do you have a solution now?
My newer videos are in HEVC and the colors are pale. In Quicktime and VLC the colors are correct shown.
Hi Heartlakequeen, been with Peter from Boinx in touch but we`ve still got no solution for this issue. Workaround at the moment on my side, is to avoid using HEVC but instead gone back to H.264
Hello, unfortunately there is still no solution to use HEVC videos in Fotomagico?
HEVC videos are still displayed incorrectly (colors desaturated)
The last message here in the forum was 1 year ago, will there be a solution soon?
Is there a recommendation for a workaround?
Unfortunately all iPhone videos are available here as HEVC videos, do you really have to convert them all to H264 (Rec709?) using Handbrake or Compressor etc.?
Direct export as H264 from the photo app is apparently not possible?
That is really very annoying - direct access to the photo app’s media library is of no use.
Greetings Carsten
Hi Carsten, it seems we still face this error with HEVC videos. Just installed the latest version of FM (6.7.4) but videos are still desaturated since embedded in a FM show, while H264 format is still working fine.
I was told by the Fotomagico development team, that they are in touch with Apple to get this issues with HLG or PQ coded videos fixed
Hi there, a quick update on HEVC and HEIC support: We’re still trying to resolve some technical difficulties in moving to HDR support. Thank you for your patience. The workaround currently is to export the videos to h.264 (using QuickTime Player, for example) and the photos to JPEG.
