Thumbnails of video in Photos App overexposed.

Im running MacOs Mojave (Latest version).


All the thumbnails of my videos are overexposed.

Both on my iMac (2013) and Mac mini (2018).

This started after I got my Iphone 13 Mini.


Anyone have similar issues? Solutions?

Hi


You mac doesn't recognise the HDR format of your iPhone 13 video files.


You will need to turn off HDR in your iPhone camera settings - or upgrade your mac to at least Big Sur (Possibly Monterey for the 13 - I'm not sure)


For videos you've already taken, you should be able to convert to Non HDR in your phones iMovie app.
