Apple definitely seems to be increasing the pace in the world of High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging by launching an update to its Keynote application – and it has done a great job. Keynote now allows you to add HDR images with a range of formats, including AVIF (.avif), JPEG XL (.jxl), tone-mapped JPEG (.jpg) and its own HEIC (.heic) format.
Keynote is able to export a presentation in different ways, including HDR videos (with a range of formats and resolutions). In my initial testing, I was able to export in 4k, with a choice of:
- frame rates (up to 60fps)
- formats (including H.264, HEVC and Apple ProRes)
- colour spaces (including PQ HDR and Dolby Vision 8.4 HDR).
