To anyone interested,

This is my 70D VisionLOG profile:

Hope it helps!

@ theartofweb

I tried Resolve Lite. Complex, multi-user, immediate UI bugs on my retina display,  constantly asked me to accept incoming connections, and crashed on me with no recovery of the test project I setup. I'm not a pro and I do what I do alone, a collaborative pipeline is not necessary to me. I just need the tools to do my art right. I was actually thinking of purchasing color finale from vision color.
I'll try using the visionlog dcp there as a lut and see what happens.   raw2cdng over MLRawViewer? Why?
What I did notice is that video export from mlrawviewer looks noisy and not accurate.
I'd really like to find the less complex non-destructive workflow here. Thanks for all the advise so far!

@ NitromanX

Your current pipeline is pretty much mine. The problem is that tiffs do not handle color as the dng does, and the scaling out of ACR its dubious, I mean, I see no way to specify the interpolation algorithm, nothing really.

MLRawViewer seems to be the best tool so far, great tool, though not exactly my cup of tea since I wanted a bit more control over the DNGs. Specially because I feel overall color management would be better.

How much would Resolve help here? Because for the MLRawViewer workflow to make sense, I feel I need  a powerful color grading solution. I know I'm being a bitch here but I too would like to know the best approach possible rather than just be a notch better than h.264
Ideas welcomed

Appreciated response. I got ML configured to give me the standard picture style in previewing, so I'm not even using it for the liveview. I already played around with ACR defaults to get a decent wb, my sole wish was to squeeze something good out of the VisionLOG presets Impuz has amongst its luts. So far I've been just dragging the dngs/tiffs from the ACR output, straight to my fcpx. I've close to none experience with digital raw material, neither for photography, so I'm a bit in the dark when it comes to the proper tools to nail this. I was under the impression ACR could actually -write- dngs, instead of filling up some script file somewhere that I'm supposed to make into parameters for my dng sequence in my editor god knows how. :-(

FYI, I decompiled the visionlog dcp for canon 6D and 60D, did a diff, realized there was no other change but the identifier itself, so created a copy with 70D as the identifier thereby enabling me to use visionlog with the 70D in ACR. Should anyone need that file, let me know.

Hi I'm new to ML and I've two questions:

1 - I own a copy of the Impulz Ultimate LUTs. Loaded the VisionLOG profile in photoshop to calibrate DNGs, and then tried to do some editing using the specific Impulz LUTs for VisionLOGRaw. The original footage was shot with the visioncolor picture style. I ain't getting nice results. Can someone explain me what I'm missing? And in any case, how can a camera profile disregard the picture style used for recording?

2 - I'm using adobe camera raw and is not allowing me to write my changes on the output dngs - everytime I choose dng as output method the resulting image has none of my alterations, so I'm forced to use tiffs instead which defeats the purpose of this complex raw workflow. Also the scaling within cameraraw and colorspace management is a bit odd. Any alternatives? Any help with this? (FYI, I do not own nor use Resolve)

Thanks!
