Hey there,
I'm just trying out the following workflow:
MLRAW -> CDNG -> DAVINCI (interpret as BMD Film for Color and Gamma) -> BMDFilm to VisionLOG -> Export to ProRes 422 HQ
When I use a LUT like M31 through LUT Buddy in Premiere the image has a lot of noise
Premiere applied LUT to VISIONLOG Davinci (bigger size http://i.imgur.com/Fb8cJTk.jpg)
Original DNG
The footage is very dark so not ideal to judge the noise but I noticed a strong noise pattern on shadows in correctly exposed footage as well.
UPDATE I just looked at the ACR workflow, applying the VISIONLOG LUT in After Effects to the same clip and the Noise profile is much less visible. The debayer definately still makes a big difference between Davinci and ACR. I still think I'm going to go with the Davinci worflow since we have quick turnarounds and lots of data to process. I guess I have to learn ETTR to avoid the noise!
