majoraxis Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, There is a thread on Personal-view that has introduced a free set of input and output 3D LUTs to make video files respond to color correction like they were shot in RAW. These are free and available at http://www.logarist.com The video below explains how to configure your video editing software (in my case Resolve) so that exposure compensation, contrast and white balance (via offset) behave like they are working on a RAW video files. I tested it on files from my Sony A7RII with shot with the Still color setting and Cine1 gamma (as recommended on Logarist.com) and it worked great. I tried the same CC settings without the input and out LUTs and it still looked ok, but not as good, especially when there were any exposure changes. Besides looking better after color correction, the process of color correction was easy to get great results quickly. If you are looking for great color with 8-bit video files from your Sony cameras, I highly recommend you try it! Mark Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Amighetti Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Interesting. Gonna give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sounds good. Would "sell" better with comparisons though, but oh well.. I'll just have to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balazer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Let me know if you guys have questions. By the way, it's not just for 8-bit footage. It works equally well with 10-bit footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I would like to test with the JVC LS300, if I found some time next week I will make it happen, why not for Adobe Premiere though? I don't use Resolve at all these days. Alt Shoo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balazer Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Premiere Pro doesn't have the built-in color tools necessary for working in a log space. That's something I might be able to correct in the future. I know a lot of people use Premiere.

Stanley Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for dropping by in this community Jacob, Because PP is so expensive I shoot for 3 months, and rent it for a month, if that makes sense ? So I'll try your GH2 settings and give it a whirl. It's amazing that gurus like you , Lee Powell, and Paul Leeming are still giving consideration to the GH2. In May / June I'll hoperfully be at Pipeline with the 100-400 Leica and using cake, so i'll adopt your settings and show you what I got. Cheers.

To use this kind of log space, you need these tools: for exposure compensation, an offset adjustment that adds the same offset to each of the red, green, and blue channels for color balancing, individual offset adjustments for each of the red, green, and blue channels, with granularity of 0.001 or finer for contrast adjustment, a straight-line slope adjustment with a pivot of 0.5 applied to the red, green, and blue channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souto Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Have got very good results with Logarist. Tried it with my GH4 (cine-d) both in Vegas 14 and in DaVinci Resolve 12.5. The instructions are also very clear. I can only thank the people who took their time and effort to develop this tool, and made it available for free! balazer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balazer Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks, @Souto. Glad to hear it. Do any of you guys who've tried it have any sample footage or workflow tips to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souto Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Here two examples, @balazer. Both are without picture adjustments. balazer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balazer Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Final Cut Pro X users: I have released Logarist for Final Cut Pro X 1.3.0, with these changes: Fixed a level mapping bug for V-Log L and V-Log Reduced the number of LUT points, to improve loading times in the mLUT Plugin and to fix out-of-memory conditions (especially for Cinelike D, which used too many points and could experience failures during rendering) Added support for Canon C300 Mark II internal XF-AVC recordings made with firmware version 1.0.6. This firmware version incorrectly sets the video_full_range_flag in its internal Canon Log 1/2/3 recordings, which causes levels to be mapped incorrectly in FCPX. For these recordings, use the full_range_flag LUTs, which compensate for the problem. I've also updated the documentation to note that Final Cut Pro's built-in log processing should be turned off for Canon Log, S-Log, and VariCam V-Log. http://www.logarist.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balazer Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Logarist now supports Adobe Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements in Windows. Please download and test and let me know how it works: logarist.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
