What's New in MakeHDR
1.0.5
August 29, 2026
Video conversion that finishes. • Fixed a hang: a clip whose audio ends before the video — which is most clips — could stop mid-conversion and never finish, with the progress bar frozen • Your screen stays awake while MakeHDR converts, so a long video no longer stops when the display sleeps • The progress bar follows the time actually converted, instead of jumping to 99% and sitting there • A clip already recorded in HDR now says so, with Convert anyway one tap away • Watermarked video exports say they are re-encoding, because that is what takes the time • A conversion that stops responding now tells you, instead of waiting forever
