@deafeyejedi thanks! what do you mean by VAF?
@mehmet many thanks!

A short video testing the capabilities of ML RAW. Meant to be nice and relaxing. More info on Vimeo page, feel free to question/comment.

Great work @scarluuk! I think it's looks great and that the upscale was actually effective. My fav shot is at 0:12. It's simple but gives sense of adventure for the "characters". Can you talk a little about your grade? Which set of impulz LUT's did you use? Mostly left untouched or big grade in nodes before lut?

Great colors! Did you use any LUT's?

@paulheran great video Paul! Colors were spot on. I would love to see a quick breakdown for your color grade. I often struggle with gettin such vibrant colors while keeping the individual colors true as well as such clean whites. Especially in the skin tones.

Also looking forward to seeing your dual ISO results. Thanks!

I actually bought the V-control and decided against it during testing. It's slow to respond and has a weird way of controlling the sensitivity of the dial. I would not recommend it unless you simply can't afford to do something like the Ikan PD1 wireless follow focus which is what I found to be the next best option during my research.

Hey everyone,
What I'm trying to do is get a grasp on the best workflow for grading MLV in Resolve with the VisionColor ImpulZ LUT's. Below is what I've gathered to be the best way to do it but I'm posting here so that anyone can chime in and give me some pointers if I'm not approaching it correctly. I'm breaking it down step by step so you can comment accordingly:

1. Shoot in MLV w/ cinestyle (doesn't really matter right? Or should I be using VisionLog.dcp in camera?)
2. Convert MLV -> dng (which app do you think is best? Cdng's?)
3. Import dng's into Resolve
4. Use Resolve raw settings to apply BMDFilm conversion
5. On first node apply "BMDFilm to VisionLOG" LUT.
6. On later node apply ImpulZ LUT for desired "look"


I found VisionColors website to extremely vague and confusing with how one is meant to implement a combination of their camera profiles and LUT's. Any comments/tips/advice that anyone has is greatly appreciated. As I said I think this will be the first discussion anywhere on the web that is attempting to clearly explain the process from beginning to end and could be useful for many others as well. Thanks to all in advance!


Quick side question:
A. Using the VisionLog.dcp in camera profile is good if I'll be shooting directly to H.264 or ProRes via Ninja recorder but still want to grade using ImpulZ/Osiris LUT's. Correct?

I love what the HDR option does to my footage. What is it actually doing to the footage?  I would like to recreate this effect in Resolve.

[Resolve <-> Premiere roundtrip]

I recently did a shoot with raw and a Ninja 2 backing up to ProRes. I want to use Resolve <-> Premiere roundtrip workflow for editing and color but Im missing something. From what I can find this is the common workflow:

Import into Resolve
Render new proxies (without reel names)
Edit in Premiere using proxies
Export xml  from Premiere for Resolve
When XML is imported into Resolve it auto links back to the raws.

Now my issue is that I want to skip "exporting new proxies" already have proxies that were created on set with the Ninja 2. How do I simply add the ninja prores files and tell Resolve to use those as the proxies. Every step after that would be the same. I would imagine Resolve has a way to link already existing proxies.
