I use the popular Photomatix software from hdrsoft. http://www.hdrsoft.com/ It might be able to read the original HDR sequence and batch process the tone mapping. There are plugins for Aperture, Lightroom, and Photoshop for sure.If not, just use AE to export the bracketed movies as a single image sequence and Photomatix to batch process the images into HDR files and Tone map them too. It automagically grabs the images in batches of 3, converts them to an HDR file, processes the HDR with your favorite tone map settings, and spits out the finished tone mapped sequence into it's own folder. You just set up your tone map settings once, and it plows through all of them. It works great. That said, i do remember hearing something about a tone mapping plug-in in AE... here is the link... good luck. On Jan 3, 2012, at 12:25 PM, Alan Shisko wrote: I was just reading this today...
The primary subject is somewhat unrelated to this thread (talks about how you can get new firmware to have Canon cameras shoot "HDR video" (quote unquote). But the applicable part to this discussion is in the section "How to process the footage". They use After Effects. Just skimmed it myself, but looks like fun.

I've got some footage from a Photron high speed camera that's presented an interesting challenge to me. The camera records a sequence of images that have a 48 bit depth, which is a large dynamic range. On export to QuickTime, however, you are forced choose a bracketed range of 8 bits. After multiple exports, I'm left with a movie that's underexposed, one that's properly exposed, and one that's overexposed. I want to combine then, HDR-style, to show the details in the highlights. (The footage is a series of explosions, so there's a lot going in the highlights.)
Any tips for stacking the footage in AE?
Thanks!
