+A snapshot of a project with iPhone footage now finishes instead of hanging on preview copies. Colour-graded cloud renders finish with default settings, and HDR exports show regular footage at normal white.
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **CLI:** A snapshot no longer waits for a preview copy of every iPhone clip, so it finishes instead of hanging. Pass `--proxy` to get the copies anyway ([2927bf030](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/2927bf03039c2a80bd93102d18d8bbc4ed96f776), [#5755](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5755)).
+- **Producer:** Colour-graded cloud renders split into smaller chunks, so they finish with default settings instead of running past the worker time limit ([6c3cc7cbe](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/6c3cc7cbe91bd194832f6613172b7123db9e5577), [#5883](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5883)).
+- **Engine:** In HDR (HLG) exports, regular footage sits at normal white instead of full peak brightness ([d796846d8](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/commit/d796846d83fe6e65efef0e8bc179d2726d506417), [#5749](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/pull/5749)).
