Thanks for making this super helpful video. I was wondering why my log footages kept clipping because so many other tutorials tell you to just apply the rec709 conversion directly to the log footages until I ran into your tutorial! You saved my day!
Came across this video when looking for LUTs and conversion cube files, and it didn't even came across my mind before that I had to convert LAST to Rec709. 4 years editing videos and I always converted first to Rec709; thanks for the insight i'll give it a try !
if you could tell me where your luts you use are, or sell them, i would 100% purchase them. Ive watched maybe 20 videos on all this stuff so far... you sir, win hands down. Already learnt 3 things I was doing wrong lol. Brilliant.
Its actually not bad at all, I do color grading as my last step so by that point my time line is finished. And I have these layers way above the timeline and locked so they do not get in the way. It is definitely better and more efficient than color grading each individual clip in my opinion
thx for explanation. Premiere Pro now is able to detect the LOG-Formatd and change it automatically in the background. Do I still work on the original LOG-Format in this case?
If you follow this process, yes stick with the original log format. I haven't done much research on the new log detection in premiere, but this process has worked for me for yeras so I plan to stick with it.
It’s not really a chronological process if that makes sense. I’m viewing the rec 708 image but any changes I make underneath the top adjustment layer with the conversion are being made to the Log image and not the compressed rec 709 image
If the image is 4k isnt the color space Rec 2020? So, first you do a conversion lut so you can transform your log to any camera look, then you color grade at you likings and in the end your transform to rec 709 or rec 2020 so it can look the same in all types of screens?
yes, if you are editing in a 4k timeline and plan to export it as 4k to be played back on 4k displays, convert it to rec 2020 at the end. For me, most of my stuff is played back on phones on social media so i just convert it to rec 709 at the end.
I’m curious what are the settings for your three adjustment layers. What happens if the settings in the adjustment layer are set to wreck 709 and you do your basic corrections on there? Would that be a problem? I am running into some strange issues when my adjustment layers are already in 709 I seem to be having choppy images in the final product. thank you for any advice you have is very helpful
I don't have any specific settings, i leave the adjustmnet layers at the default settings and then apply the conversion lut to the top one as i do in the video. Is the image choppy when you export it or just when you try to play it back in premiere?
In Blackmagic cam I can choose Rec709 instead of apple log rec2020, Does this option replace the conversion of video by premier and what is better to shoot Rec709 directly or shoot log and then convert it to rec?!
My understanding is that Rec 2020 is for 4k delivery. I deliver my footage in 1080 most of the time so it really depends. I may be wrong on that, but I normally just stil with Rec 709
This is one step in color grading, getting the footage from log to a rec 709 color space is an important step which this lut does, then teh color grading is done afterwards

Thank you for this, I'm going to do it this way from now on!
Awesome!
The most helpful video, thank you for this!
of course!
very helpful thanks
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
thanks man!
if you could tell me where your luts you use are, or sell them, i would 100% purchase them. Ive watched maybe 20 videos on all this stuff so far... you sir, win hands down. Already learnt 3 things I was doing wrong lol. Brilliant.
I am currently working on a lut pack. I will let you know when it drops!!
Thanks Bro.... I have been looking for this
yessir!
Where can I get that creative lut? IMR-Tonal Eclipse 1:20
I think that was from Sam Newtons lut pack
Incredibly helpful video, Thank you!
Glad it Helped!
Sounds good but how busy/cluttered is your timeline going to be? It's going to be a nightmare on longer edits!
Its actually not bad at all, I do color grading as my last step so by that point my time line is finished. And I have these layers way above the timeline and locked so they do not get in the way. It is definitely better and more efficient than color grading each individual clip in my opinion
If my sequence setting is at Rec.709 and on my top adjustment layer I putt the canon log lut on it. Is that correct ?
how to use luts on log with changing conditions
thx for explanation. Premiere Pro now is able to detect the LOG-Formatd and change it automatically in the background. Do I still work on the original LOG-Format in this case?

Which layer would you put vfx's on (flash effects, and other image altering layers)
I put all VFX above the top layer
So you convert your log footage to rec 709 BEFORE you color grade??
It’s not really a chronological process if that makes sense. I’m viewing the rec 708 image but any changes I make underneath the top adjustment layer with the conversion are being made to the Log image and not the compressed rec 709 image
greetings brother, how do I get the Alexa LogC to Rec 709.cube lut

Question here.. does ur 2nd monitor make your macbook slower on editiny?
In my experience I haven't felt it be slower

My understanding is that Rec 2020 is for 4k delivery. I deliver my footage in 1080 most of the time so it really depends. I may be wrong on that, but I normally just stil with Rec 709
So would you not recommend using the Rec. 709 that Adobe has built in? I’ve used it before and never see a difference between log & rec lol.
Not sure what you mean by the built in Rec. 709, this process is only for if your footage is in LOG and want to convert it to Rec 709
So what is this new trend? why suddenly people starting to do this? why not just color grade your log footage?
This is one step in color grading, getting the footage from log to a rec 709 color space is an important step which this lut does, then teh color grading is done afterwards
Where did you get the conversion LUT?
I bought mine from Gamut
@@thebobbymedia ok thank you so much!
