I ran into the issue a while back where my wife’s iPhone videos came in desaturated. I saw the post here about converting them from HDR to BT.709 and that solved my issue. Excellent resource!
I’m trying to use more of her video now and every one I’ve tried to convert fails. They are ITU-R BT.202 and ARIB B67 HLG color. What am I doing wrong, or what can I do to remedy this? I updated to 25.05.11 but that didn’t solve it.
Thank you
What model is the iPhone?
Do you mean that the convert job in the jobs panel fails? If so, right click on the job, download the log, and post it here for us to inspect.
Iphone 16 pro.

Same as the proxy failure that was reported here:
I need to apply the same fix for Convert and Reverse.
This is fixed for the next version 25.07
Excellent! Do you have a timeline for release?
End of the month, but please try the beta.
Found the beta and it works! Thank you for an amazingly quick fix…
Thank you, It is nice to have the confirmation.
