tomsemiterrific Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Andrew, Would your color work with say, the Sony X70? It has picture profiles galore--and 4k. I'm assuming it would not work with the Sony a6000, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I thought it was all about S-Log? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted November 24, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2016 I expect it would work in Picture Profiles but how about the custom white balance settings? Do you want to beta test it on your X70 for free? Davey - no it is not just about SLOG, it is also a REC 709 fix for colour straight out of the camera. Much more Canon like and it solves lots of other stuff as well like the blue highlights freaking out, clipping and the horrible yellow cast to night shots. Examples coming soon... difference is big!!

Do you want to beta test it on your X70 for free? Well, I am happy to buy it. The X70 is a pretty darn good camcorder, and it could really benefit from Canon Color. The X70 is the only Sony I own. I switched to Canon about 2 years ago after 10 years of shooting Sony. I switched because the Sony color drove me NUTS---and I owned them all: FS100, FS700, FS5---and never bought an FS7 because I saw several FS7 videos, including Phillip Bloom's, and did not like the color at all--especially skin tone (sound familiar). My point is that your Sony color profiles intrigue me, because Sony has so many bells and whistles---if the color were tolerable I would consider reinvesting in some of their mirrorless cams. But the price of Sony lenses gives me pause. Also, I feel by Sony like Michael Corleone felt about the Mafia: "Just when I get myself free they drag me back in again." Also, I'm VERY HAPPY with Canon image and color. I only regret I spent so many years tearing my hair out trying to fix Sony color. The skin tone color is FUBB! Anyway, I'd be happy to test the profiles----I've loaded in your C-Log to my 1DX ii, and plan to put some videos I shot with EOSHD C-Log up on Vimeo pretty soon. (As Morpheus says, "Time is always against us.") Anyway, I've never loaded in anything into the X70--and I'm not sure it's possible. Do you think it can be done?

cantsin Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 To which degree does it work with first-generation A7 cameras like the A7s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine on the a7S. The oldest camera, the A7 doesn't have Picture Profile support though does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowfun Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Purchased & looking forward to experimenting (A7S). I wonder whether I will see much benefit at high (>25k) ISO? (for me, the obvious and deciding advantage of the Sony vs other cameras). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I gotta say, Andrew, this color profile finally makes Sony a viable option for someone like me, who hates fighting the camera's color with every new file. Does this mean you'll be revising your position of Canon 1D X Mark II over Sony A7S II for your work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxotis70 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 does it work in a6000 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's still the same video... dúh. -- unrelated sidenote, why splitting the same discussion up in mutliple threads?

To my knowledge, you can't change-out a video on YouTube like you might on Vimeo (didn't even know that was a thing, until Ed started doing it).

Cinegain Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Nah, exact same vid. Even the comments from yesterday are still there. With YouTube you would publish a new one and take the old one down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 EOSHD SONY ON: EOSHD SONY OFF: ...seriously good job Andrew.. will order soon for a shoot where we'll be adding an A7S2 for night shots to a Canon setup.. hopefully will be easier to match footage thanks to this!!
