Perfect Sony A7III Colors Instantly - Leeming LUT

- Опубліковано 12 бер 2021
- You can make pretty much any of the recent Sony's look great with a click or two of your mouse thanks to an amazing corrective LUT called the LemmingLUT. I personally use the Sony HLG3 to 709 LUT. Please note this is just the corrective LUT applied, and you can do some color grading to taste after this baseline footage. I wanted to show the LUT as is when applied directly.

** Note: This is just the LeemingLUT straight with no colour grading. Normally I would apply a slight grade to it to warm it up and give it a little moere contrast.
It costs quite a lot to get my sub nowadays, but you Mark, you’ve paid the price.
haha!! Thanks. It’s good to know that even the most discerning of viewers is watching.👍🏻
I love your videos keep it up!
"..not even those Squarespace people".. 😅. Love your vids, Mark. I just recently got into the "pro camera" UA-cam rabbit hole and so far I keep coming back to your channel for anything I want to learn more about. Appreciate you 💯
thanks!!
At :38 had me LMAO. Thanks for the video, man. Great stuff. I will try this out.
Hey Mark, I’m loving your videos and learning so much. I recently bought a ZV-E10 and I’m loving the camera. I’m getting more and more comfortable with how this thing works and recently purchased the Leeming Lut pack. I’m curious to know if I’m outside should I keep my ISO on auto and then adjust the EV meter? This is still a point of confusion for me. Thanks for any help you can offer!
Best thing to do is put it in manual, iso 125, and shutter at 1/50. Then adjust the aperture until the M.M on your screen reads +1.7. That'll give you what you need.
Alternatively - you could do shutter priority at 1/50 with auto ISO and use your exposure compensation to set the M.M at +1.7.
Of course, you could use the zebra way I do if you are exposing for skin - but you want to be in all manual for that and keep you ISO as low as you can
Why don’t you use the colour space override feature in fcpx to turn it into ref 709? Sorry I’m trying to learn 😅
You can, but that just converts the colour space for you. so you’ll still have to colour grade it yourself. The LeemingLUT makes you expose to the right (brighter than the camera thinks you should) and then when you apply the LUT, the brightness is reduced and the colors are accurate. Your footage will pretty much look perfect with no color grading and you won’t have noisy footage because you exposed to the right and brought down the shadows (ETTR)
Hey Mark! Keep up the great content! One question about the settings: on the PDF instructions for the Sony Leeming LUT, it says to set the zebras at 99+ for HLG3 with the ETTR method. Would it give much different results in your case? I'm asking because you chose to expose for skin tones instead (thus using a different percentage for the zebras). Thank you!
please let me know if you ever get the answer to this. I am curious as to this myself. the PDF instructions say one thing, but I see so many (including my boy Mark) doing something different - especially with the zebras.
Hey Mark! Do you recommend the Sony 6400 over the A7III for photography? I'm looking into photography as a hobby and would ideally like to shoot portraits for friends/family. The two lenses I would like to get are: Sony 85mm f/1.8 and
A7iii for sure over the a6400 for photography. You can do much more with that full frame sensor and full frame glass. it has a cost - but the quality is excellent.
Certifiably insane! Oh, I meant that about myself of course 🙂
Explicitly 151M subs, man, you're just about there! Seriously though, you're about double of where I came across your videos, congrats! Rolling right along 🤘
It's probably a bunch of fake accounts trying to hack me!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Such a positive guy! 🤣
Really liking the amped up humour on this one, pour that sugar on!
@@KPGuitarStudios Well, I knew no one would agree with me - so I might as well have fun with it!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis These are great videos. You've got a fan 🤘
@@KPGuitarStudios You're probably a bot trying to hack my account!!
I know this is an old video, but can you add these lots into the Sony ZVE1 as a user lut?
oh for sure. In fact, it gets better for the SV-E1 because you can use all the Slog3 LUTS. They were originally designed for the A7SIII - so that’s perect
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis do you have a link where you can get commission that I can go through. ?
Thanks for thinking of me - but there's no affiliate program for the leeminglut as far as I know
Nice video man! Can you give us a small overview of the process inside FCP?
I can, yes. I will do a LUT application and grade process in an upcoming video. My latest video on Olympus Colors shows my process a bit and also my GH5 color video - might be helpful to you.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I am also using Leeming luts, and I think that for the sony a7iii he suggests keeping things simple and don't mess with the color profiles. So I think that you do not need to change the "Color Profile" setting, right? You just add the camera profile?
@@CharisCh Follow the pdf guide for the Sony A Series that Paul Leeming provides to make sure all your settings are correct. You would set the camera to Neutral Profile first, and then in the picture profiles, make sure you have HLG3 selected and BT. 2020 and detail set to -7.
Here is the guide in case you need it. www.leeminglutpro.com/downloads/Leeming_LUT_Pro_II_Setup_Guide_Sony_A_Series.pdf
Excellent video! New subscriber😃.
That info helped me a lot. I have a question, how do you set up white balance before this? Do you use standard pp or off pp with a decent exposure and then do the over expose with zebras in log? Or just nail you WB with log and correct exposure for log? Thanks so much!
Thanks, man!! I set the Sony up according to Paul Leeming’s specifications - I use the HLG3 profile and then set my zebras to 75 for exposure on my face. And right before I record I set a manual white balance. I just make sure that after the white balance the zebras stay the same. Hope that helps!!
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks for answering 🙏🙏. I saw in Peter's guide that uses zebras +99 for HLG3. What I've done is selecting the off PP, expose and do the WB with custom and Grey card. Maybe is better to do it in the current log PP that your are going to use?
@@maxgiaco it shouldn’t matter too much about the white balance, but definitely set the exposure in the profile you will be shooting. The dynamic range increases in HLG3, so set the exposure in that profile if you’re going to shoot in it.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Yes! I'm experimenting a lot with HLG3, S-log 2 and Cine2 with Peter's settings and LUTS on my Sony a7iii. It was an awesome discover. I was just struggling a little with custom white balance 😣 don't know why. Because I'm using a 18% Gray card as you showed in your last video. Anyways thanks for your help! I appreciate so much.
All the best 💪
@@maxgiaco there is a problem where you can’t use the white balance on Sony cameras in a custom profile setting. It’s very annoying- but they won’t let you do that. So I set the white balance in regular movie mode (I put that in hlg3 anyway) and set my custom white balance. It is then registered to the first custom white balance slot. And then I can put my camera into C1 (where I have my main video settings ready to go) and I make sure the white balance is on my newly made custom white balance. Is this an issue you’re experiencing??
What ISO and F stop you tend to use for the LUT. Do you have a preference?
no preferred fstop pr iso, but you should always keep your iso as low as possible to avoid a noisy image
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Ill be honest I am asking as I am trying to emulate your image! Its pristine! Also, do you increase the detail/sharpness in post ?
because you decrease sharpness in camera to lowest - you will want to add sharpening, yes.
@Mark Bennett's Camera Crisis... so Mark, can you comment on how I'll find these Leeming work with my Lumix GH4, 5s and BGH1? Thanks D2
The Leeming LUTS work perfectly with the GH line, as long as you purchase the GH series pack. It’s a different one than the Sony. I bought both versions because I have the two cameras. But the LeemingLUT for the GH series will work beautifully on the the GH4 5S and the BGH1. The video I did with the GH5 is here: ua-cam.com/video/O6_0KLDfCWs/v-deo.html
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis If you watch my recent post you'll see why I'm asking about Leeming....there's not much subtlety to the lut I used...rather intentionally (for a bit of drama, say... but even that was rather accidental because I only had couple of D-Log luts made for iPhone to apply...test. Looking forward to trying out the Leeming pack. Sold. You should get a commission or something.
Oh yeah, the 3rd most recent is without any LUT
@@David2222 haha. Thanks. If I can help people with their projects, then that’s commission enough. 😂
You’ll like the Leeming LUTS for sure. I’m a big fan of using them with V-Log. They give you accurate and natural colours that you can then grade however you want (if you wan to add a mood or style). In fact, he provides a bunch of stylish LUTS for free with the pack that you can slap on after the corrective LUT for lots of fun looks,
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Wait til you see what I'm cooking up here ; ) FUN ...and yes, I sent a couple of questions to Paul Leeming. Thanks for the add too!
Question 🙋♂️
What are the alternatives for HLG3 besides Paul Leeming?
As well was the comparison in the video with scenetone?
You can use any conversion LUT for the HLG or make one yourself. The A7iii doesn’t have S-Cinetone profile. The comparison was with Standard Profile.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you Mark! Just looking for shortcuts to a good picture😃 Like the correction by Leeming, but always overexposing for run and gun seems a bit too mich
@@danielhvr That’s true. Outside in the daylight I often leave it on standard profile because it looks pretty good. It’s the studio where you need to deviate from standard. I also did a video where I gave free HLG LUT for the ZV-E10 - which you don’t have to expose to the right. You can download it and try it out to see if you like it. ua-cam.com/video/RVrEQPsFOpE/v-deo.html
what settings you dialed into the camera?
I use 24p 100 mb/s and same settings as the LeemingLUT instruction manual. They are all available to look at without purchasing. Just look at the setup guide on the website.
You gotta be the smallest channel I ever subscribed to. Hope you’ll make it. 1k soon!
Well - I appreciate it. I'll just keeping making videos even if all of youtube ignores me. 🤣🤣
The zebras for the most recent Leeming LUT are 99+ for HLG3. The skin tones are 86 but he recommends ETTR.
Yes - exposing for the skin tones at 86 is ETTR. The 99+ is for highlights. I prefer to expose to skin tones because I’m usually filming people. If I am shooting an outdoor scene and I want to keep the sky I use 99+. You can choose either - but the exposing to skin tones is a little more approximate.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I stumbled across this in another video, but do not remember where this information was given. Did you get there by trial or where did you get this information about the 86? Thank you
Ok, found it: ua-cam.com/video/ptJuI1XovaU/v-deo.html (13:05) - but he says 76% 🧐
@@eike.zender The Leeming LUTs have been updated a couple of times since Gerald’s video. If you go to the LeemingLUT website, you can just view the pdf for each camera - for HLG3 the zebra is set at 86 with this version
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yep, I did that. Maybe it's different from camera to camera, but the PDF guide for the Sony A Series says 99+
but atomos zebra are not equal to sony or panasonic values.. its always a 5% error and sometimes hard to mathc.. how do you deal with this ?
I find the Zebras are pretty close to my cameras. But I do tend to use the Atomos because they are easier to see. If you are using a log profile, there is a new “legalize” switch on the Ninja V after an update. Make sure you have that switched to ON when you’re using Log. Can you tell me where the info on the zebras being a 5% error is? I’d like to look into it further.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis its just my eyes. its between 5-10%. thanks for the legalize, ill look into it
@@laurentiudll yes, you will notice a difference for sure in the log footage without the function turned on. It has to do with full range vs limited range. But only in Log. Don’t turn it on if using HLG. Gerald Undone did a good video on it.
Here is Gerald’s video. ua-cam.com/video/kSZ4WGsKLAY/v-deo.html
I feel stupid but which Leeming Lut are we talking about here. The Sony Picture Profiles purchase or the Sony Creative Styles purchase. Don't want to buy the wrong thing.
it is a bit confusing actually because he separated the Sony ones, they used the all be lumped together. anyway, it’s the picture profile one - (the log and HLG
Cheetos and White make-up is how I roll... Looks EPIC!!
Sony is clearly for you. Dump those awesome Canon colours immediately.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Damn Canon and their perfect out of box colours!
Mark - I have watched this over a few times now and I have a question I am ettr and on Davinchi it seems a little saturated my face seems a little orange? Any advice on why this may be?
chances are your white balance is a little warm. Are you manually white balancing with a grey card?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Its so bizare you said this my friend. I am using a grey card it comes up 5400 when my light is set to 5300? What should I do? just change the white balance or light ?
@@ShaunHolden the white balance card is correct - lights vary. What profile are you using with which lut?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Paul Leeming of course, I paid as I wanted one I could use straight out the box if you like. Shooting in HLG and ettr Picture profile 4. When doing zebras they are 86 +5 too thanks for all your help! Looking forward to hearing what to do next
@@ShaunHolden so I am assuming you’re using hlg3 bt. 2020?
I bought it, too.
It’s great. And updates are always free!!
Hey mark! Thanks so much for this. I’m having trouble with this LUT making my skin tones super pink and red. Like my lips look super pink… also, I’m offended that you don’t do MORE British accents 😂 any help appreciated mate.
haha. So did you turn the standard profile to -3, -3, 0 before using the Picture Profile HLG3 as per the LeemingLUT instructions? and Manually white balance with a grey card?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis must have missed that bit 👀 haha. So under creative style I’ve set the std. to -3 -3 0 , then gone into PP and changed to HLG3. However on my FN menu, I can see (although it’s greyed out) the Std. Creative style still saying 0 0 0. I must be missing something mate, sorry again! Any ideas?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis also yes, all white balanced etc.
@@Huxley350 it’s just a weird Sony quirk that displays it at 0,0,0 when viewing in a different picture profile. Once you set it in creative standard, that -3,-3,0 will apply (even though you can’t see it - ha). So you’re all good. Paul Leeming actually mentioned the weird quirk in the PDF for the LeemingLUT. He calls it “Sony logic” 🤣
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ah man I’m such a muppet. I had a slightly incorrect setting in Davinci!!! Thank you so much again mate for your content. Honestly, as someone who knows virtually nothing about anything camera wise, buying a ZV E10 and finding your videos was a game changer for me.
Are you refering to HLG or HLG3?
HLG3.
do you adjust the ISO with PP ON or OFF
@@andrewmckenley5355 i set the ISO with the HLG3 on. I set it at its lowest iso.
how much do you think you overexpose usually ?
About 1 stop usually.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I noticed the other day some highlights in sky wouldn't go away until I went 2 stops under and foreground was way underexposed at that point do you just wanna blow out the sky and keep it 1 stop overM
@@samuelfrench9665 shoot in HLG3 for the highest dynamic range and then you’ll be able to bring some highlights back. But even with 14 stops of dynamic range, sometimes you have to make choices. Set your zebras for 99+ in you’re using the leeming lut with hlg3. Anything you see with zebras is going to be lost - and sometimes that’s ok - if you’re trying to capture actors and you have to blow out the sky - you gotta do what’s right for the scene. But if you want to capture a nice landscape, you want to make sure you’re not losing your sky and then try to bump the shadows in post. Even the best cinema cameras have to make decisions like this.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis awesome thanks so much!!
This is why UA-cam shorts are big now. GET STRAIGHT TO IT BRO lol
You could make your own videos that have no personality or explanation of any kind if you want. I doubt people will watch things like that.
Not a single video on UA-cam how to get my R5 back to 8 bit 420, halp! Also rumour canon will get prores
Wait, your a canon R5 is stuck on 10bit?? You can already get prores if you record to a Ninja V ;) but it would be great to get that internally. Big file sizes though.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis ugh I just got a PK PP variable ND LOL. Costs are getting out of control. And the micro hdmi seems like a non starter
@@robmcd prores won’t give you any noticeable quality difference. It’s easier to edit, but the footage will look pretty much identical to your regular SD card footage.
Vampire 😂😂
🧛♂️
Mark will most likely delete this, but this lut is not good. *Do not buy this LUT* It has disrupted my video workflow for 2.5 months. I couldn’t find out why all my footage was blown out. **IF YOU HAVE BLOWN OUT FOOTAGE ITS A SETTINGS + PREFERENCES ISSUE IN DA VINCI RESOLVE, FINAL CUT, PREMIERE PRO..*** Learn how to color grade ising the graphs and wave forms and your footage will be amazing. I can’t tell you how frustrated I’ve been after horrible color grades using this LUT. Save the money and time especially if you have quality footage.
I don’t delete any comments unless they are inappropriate. the LeemingLUT is not my LUT, but it is a well respected LUT and has worked for thousands of filmmakers. It’s designed to capture maximum dynamic range by exposing to the right and then applying the LUT. So if you expose to the right using the provided zebra levels and corresponding picture profiles, the footage comes out great and very colour accurate. I still use this on every shoot to this day.
