Would you mind explaining the grading process? Looks great, and I use Davinci, so its always nice to hear other peoples thoughts on LUTs, grades, etc. Thanks.

What is the "Prime Cine RGB LUT"? and Where can I find it?. Looks good

Strange indeed.

I will do the same test this week-end with FCP X.

I have found that once rendered to Pro Res regardless of what program you use the LUTs behave differently. Even if exported as log-c from resolve. Even if you export as log-c pro res and then put the pro res files back into resolve they will look different than the DNG sequence with the same LUT.

here is a link to the dng file requested.

Hi Jpb1138,

Could you post the DNG file you used to show us the various examples of your workflow?

I'd like to experiment with the same basis.

Thanks a lot!

Yeah I can do that. I will look for the DNG tonight. I will say the biggest thing I did that made it work even better is taking the log c converted LUT and lowering the contrast, before applying the Osiris LUTS.. I felt personally to my eye that they were just aslightly to contrasty for me. But I tend to like nice flat images.... nothing too crushed. Just blacks barely touching black. and keeping overall exposure middle to lower half of spectrum.

jpb, which iso you used on the scenes on the bridge? thanks!!

The walking wide shot was probably 3200 ISO... THe others between 2500-3200. More noise than Id like but not nearly as bad as other cameras. I did a slight noise reduction I think.

you can try also to convert log-c to rec709 then to OSIRIS Rec709

I actually do that occasionally when the LOG LUTs dont exactly get me what I expected and sometimes going to REC709 or taking log-c and correcting it myself to get it to REC709, then applying the 709 Osiris LUT is better. Actually the one pic I posted of DK79 was graded that way. Log-C corrected contrast and such to get it REC709ish and then I used the 709 DK79 LUT. Worked better than DK79 LOG...

@Andy600 When will the CINELOG-C LUTs be ready? So excited for those. Have been using 'bmd to cinelog 2.0' and 'cinelog to log-c' with good success on some videos, in combination with 'look' LUTs from Osiris.


Heres my workflow in Davinci Resolve (with pics) (All of the 'look' LUts are tweaked some post conversion, and that should be expected, mostly skin tones, but overall about 5 extra minutes of work..


BMD FILM


TO: Cinelog 2.0


TO: LOG-C (from Cinelog 2.0 to LOG-C LUT)


At this point the possibilities are endless... Grade your own way or go the route of Look LUTs, like Osiris, Film emulation LUTs, etc.

Here are a few of the Osiris LUTs from this point:

DK79 LUT


VISION 4 LUT


JUGO LUT


M31 LUT


KDX LUT


Again as with all LUTs, tweaking per shot afterwards is essential. But this should give you the idea that any look is possible, with the right starting point, and some nice finishing LUTs or your own custom look.

Enjoy. To see the video I made using this workflow:

Just a short video shot Sunday Early AM pre dawn and thru magic hour, Wanted to test out Magic Lantern RAW on my Mark iii. And see how it handles these conditions. Some very impressive things for a camera in this class. And with a little finesse and production values it could shine with cameras two-four times its price. This was shot with three lenses on a 5d Mark iii. The downloaded version is much better than the Vimeo encode, so please watch their for a more accurate representation (no banding).

Canon 24-105L
Canon 70-200L
Rokinon 14mm

No gear except camera tripod and lenses.  Hope to do some more creative uses coming up.

Color graded and edited in Davinci Resolve Lite using a mix of Cinelog LUTs, and Vision Color LUTs. Very light noise reduction on the early shots applied with neat video, and a small level of grain added throughout the video to give it a a little filmish kick. Download original to get a much better idea of grain appeal. I myself have come from GH2 land and so the raw experience has been a joy. I personally enjoy the color grading process so it is very nice to have all the latitude and detail to work with.

Any comments or questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Enjoy.

IS there a plan to allow outputting to a certain folder on the hard disk, instead of simply placing the new DNG folder in the same place as the original MLV file? Basically so we could go straight from the CF card and output to our hard disk, without having to transfer the whole CF card to disk then converting... Thanks for making it easier to work with MLV..
