I get: "Using an 8 bit codec with HDR content may affect video quality" warning in FCPX. How I can fix this?.

Question

Exporting a.mv4 file generate this warning ⚠️ :

"Using an 8 bit codec with HDR content may affect video quality" when I export it to all Apple devices. I can't get rid off it.

I saw this topic in this forum but none of the solutions fix my problem.

I'm running macOS Big Sur 11.7.10 (late 2014).

I recorded a video in HDR with my iPhone and now I can't export it.

Can someone help me please?.

Mac mini, macOS 11.7

Can you show your exporting settings please, not the file name?

What version of FCP is this?

You don’t get that error warning when you export to XML.

We need to see what export settings you’re using in the Share export function and what’s available in that version of the application.

It worked!. The warning ⚠️ is gone and I'm exporting (Apple devices 1080p) successfully my video now.

Thank you Tom you are a genius! 😃.
