    How long do you usually spend on color grading C70 footage?

  • @withoutanoffice4914

    First off, I just wanted to say that like you, today I sold my C300MarkIII and bought me a second C70. I bought the first C70 about 3 weeks ago and like you, fell in love with it. Anyway, i just want to tell you that I come from and from a career of being a combat cameraman to Network news cameraman over a 30+ years. My favorite part of shooting for CNN was the occasional sit down, lit interview. Unfortunately they were few & few between. I retired from CNN last year and have started my own production company. I never had to deal with file formats, codecs, log footage, or luts. I love how you explain things and so helpful. Thanks!

    Hi Damien. Adding the LUT via the Extended setting means you are not able to bring back the most dynamic range of your image. You’re baking in that canon LUT and adding adjustments on top. This is fine if you have well exposed images in controlled lighting. As you do. But we found if you instead have no LUT selected in the settings and instead stack the following in the effects panel (which you can automate as a custom effect for speed):
    1. Color correct
    2. Custom LUT (canon)
    3. Color correct
    Now when you Color correct that top one, you are working underneath the LUT. This is especially good when you want to rescue highlights that have been blown by the canon LUT. A quick colour mask select works great. Then you stack the rest below (which is kind of on top - fcpx has a strange system). So something like:
    1. Color correct (hl recovery)
    2. Custom LUT (canon)
    3. Color correct / other LUTS / secondary corrections (now you’re in rec709)
    4. Other LUTS and tweaks
    Hope that helps. It’s a game changer when you’re struggling with footage shot in imperfect conditions.

      That’s a really interesting take and makes a lot of sense. I will give this a try. Although I find it hard to wrap my head around how to effectively color correct a clog 2 image 🤔

      @SebastianCristanchoYT Рік тому +1

      100% I was so confused watching this… You were very kind about it but yes any other way doesn’t make sense. You buy the c70 with dynamic range and C-log 2 in mind, the method in the video essentially defeats the purpose of shooting LOG altogether. Still super valuable as a start and maybe for a beginner colourist.

      @@SebastianCristanchoYT oh yeah, 100% that only works if you expose correctly and was just an overview on how I use it for 90% of my stuff. When I find myself in a situation where I need to get the most out of it I grade from scratch or in resolve. I honestly didn't know the order of luts in final cut changes this. That's really good to know actually

    DC...I have the C70 and the RF 28-70 F/2 lens in my checkout box of Amazon. I would be switching from the GH6 to this....I make mostly commercial videos where I am doing everything...acting, recording, editing etc. A one man show and I will be also using the Atomos Ninja...Will I see an improvement? should I hit buy? LOL.

    • @damiencooper
      @damiencooper  Рік тому +1

      I want to say there will be a big improvement in overall usability. Although there's no need for the Ninja and the 28-70 might also not be the best choice at all. Maybe have a look at my C70 lens video first.
      And when you buy, make sure to click on one of my amazon links in the description first HAHA

    Hi - really interesting - I've been adding the conversion LUT on the timeline via custom LUT - then I can place the color wheels curves etc before the LUT - you can then adjust the wide range of the cLog before it gets converted to rec709 - am i doing it wrong?? Thanks for the great videos!

      Hi, I use premiere pro. How do you add the conversion LUT on the timeline via custom LUT? Do you just place an adjustment layer over the video and drop the lut on it? This colorgrading is pretty new to me.
