Thanks :)

What are youre Project settings? and do you have mac view checked or not

[@luminari_productions]

Honestly I've been leaning to try using cined since it handles noise so much better than vlog but I understand it's happening in camera, but def would speed up workflow.

[@cinematools9621]

It takes a second to apply a LUT to Vlog, so I'm not sure how the workflow is any different. Cine D is a thing of the past.

[@JGphotoyt]

Would this LUT work with a Lumix S5 II X, the newer camera? Also do you think it would work in the real-time LUT feature?

[@cinematools9621]

Yes, 33x versions can be uploaded to a camera for a preview.
We haven't tested S5 II X but it's the same sensor with the same color science, so it should be compatible.

Thank you for doing this video. Which LUT did you use for the clip from 2:23-26?

[@cinematools9621]

Thanks for watching.
It's from the Cinema Tools S5 pack. Either Ehnance A or Enhance B, can't access the project file at the moment.

@@cinematools9621 Im using S5ii with Vlog color profile converted rec 709 then I applied your Luts and the result was too much saturated the skin tone was burned way more your sample.. I'll do email them now.. Thanks!

'Flat' seems to have the most natural-looking skin tones. I would have thought flat would just be desaturated.

[@cinematools9621]

You can easily make V-Log skin tones look like Flat if you want to but Flat itself is very limited for color grading and dynamic range. Not every project requires Log, but if you put your clips in NLE using Log is as easy as any other profile.

@@cinematools9621 Thanks for your reply. I'm really noticing a green shift on most of the vlog luts with this camera, and on so many people's videos who use this camera. So the reason I liked 'flat' the most was simple because it's the one which made her skin look most natural to me. What I'd love is a lut for vlog which matched that more natural skin tone but could still keep the extended DR of vlog. Yours are great, but in this example if you look at just her skin on the flat lut, it looks the most natural i think. I think*

[@cinematools9621]

@@SocialTrading most of it comes down to a personal preference. Flat looks too saturated and different from the model's real-life skin tone.
