Do you want to make side-by-side vids (like this one) with not complicated (but still very powerful) and free software?
Here is the short and quite nonintuitive guide.
1. Get and install following software:
VitrualDub2: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vdfiltermod/
Avisynth: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Main_Page
FFMS2 plugin: https://github.com/FFMS/ffms2/releases
2. Shoot a couple of clips suitable for a side-by-side comparison. Put files into one folder. In my case I had two files named 'hdr-off.MP4' and 'hdr-on.MP4'.
3. Get ready to deal with some basic scripting.
The 1st AviSynth script (save as 01.avs, click to open with VirtualDub2):
Save lossless output. Select 'Video-Compression...-Uncompressed RGB' and press F7.
Do the same with the 2nd script (save as 02.avs). My temp AVI files were named 'off-on.avi' and 'on-off.avi':
Use the 3rd one to render your final cut:
Save with x264 codec and decent bitrate (~24Mbps would be enough for 1080p30).
