Everyone who said this week’s Ted Lasso had janky brightness changes all over the place were totally right.
Quinn MacDonald@ismh They used SDR and HDR content and let iMovie do the auto colour correction.
.. wait, sorry, that was this week's ATP, not Connected 🤣
Aaron@ismh I’ve noticed it in the last few episodes but this week’s was especially bad.
dustinbucher@ismh Iva had the same issue with episodes of Shrinking…
Alex Alvarez@ismh yup, it was occurring throughout the entire episode. One of the most jarring moments was the kitchen scene with Nate and Jade.
Eshu Marneedi@ismh Must’ve been edited on the Final Cut Pro for iPad beta /s
Jim Lipsey@ismh I just wish I’d known it was the episode rather than something in my setup when I watched it.
Janky brightness is bad. Potentially fixable janky brightness is far more distracting.
Grant McConnaughey@ismh That’s been happening in every episode this entire season. I really don’t know what went wrong, but it’s really distracting. I suspect some sort of difference between SDR and HDR shots. 🤷♂️
Steve Sebban, CSI@ismh As far as I understand, this issue is not a grading one but linked to Dolby Vision and how its dynamic metadata handle trimming. It happens mostly in exterior shots where light is less controlled and when multiple takes are mixed together and some have sunlight in it and some don’t. This is getting especially bad when you have one small, very bright spot in the shot. DV metadata push the skin tone to the shadows and the whole shot looks very dark.
@ismh I did a bit of experiment a few days ago and watched the culpid scenes in SDR and HDR10 and they shown no exposure issues. All done on aTV and LG OLED.
This has me thinking that all the shows that present this issue (and there’s a lot) are doing the trim process by an assistant (or even automaticity) and there’s no trim pass involving the colorist.
My workaround is to disable DolbyVision for those shows. On Atv, set your device to HDR10 and turn off “Dynamic Range Matching”
Jared Zammit@ismh seems like Apple TV shows constantly struggle with Dolby Vision / HDR issues like this.
Gaz Beirne@ismh Switching from Dolby Vision to just plain “HDR” in the Apple TV Settings fixed this for me. I don’t know what in the chain (the show itself, the Apple TV, or my actual TV) is struggling to be consistent with Dolby Vision, but it’s very annoying.

@ismh No issues on Roku FWIW.
Peter Christensen@ismh OMG spoilers! Wtf, Stephen? 😉
