Dang get this guy a pop-filter! Let me know if you have any questions about SLOG-2.
What’s the color mode settings after selecting pp7??
do you have to have your footage iso up a lot to work with the conversion lut
@@joshadventures2352depends on lighting conditions. If I’m outside. I usually don’t go past 800 and still need an ND filter. Inside or low-light I might go up to 3200 max
Probably a rookie question but how do I add the LUT to Adobe premier pro?
2024 reporting.. this free lut Timmy has is the ONLY one that actually works without having to tweak the crap out of it. It's a TRUE conversion LUT not an overly edited type like the other 50 I download that aint even working at all. This is PERFECT for us 8bit users. Sony A7Rii user here yes I know wrong camera for video but it's all I have until I can get a wide angle for real estate for my D7100
Thanks a lot. I have been looking into shooting SLog2 and all the explainations seemed so complex. You broke it down perfectly and the adjustment layer setup will definitely change my editing work flow. Awesome tips.
Glad it helped Dean. Good luck shooting!
Amazing tutorial. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Easily understood and simple to follow.
Your r the nicest one i`ve ever seen on youtube who teach to grade the color in premiere pro so far . I really thank u for your showing this !
This was the LUT (and video) is was looking for! Thank you so much! Looking forward to your new videos!
Thanks for watching Tim!
Thanks for the free luts lodhi! i've tried t and i do find it helpful! it's much easier to grade with underexposed rec709 conversion
OMG you slog conversion lut saved my project! thank you a million times over!
So glad to hear!
Bro I just applied that 709 Conversion LUT and it fit PERRRRFECTLY on my footage, like zero adjustments to make. WHOA that's wild man, just searched for dope content online and found yours. This made my day, b/c I was like 40 minutes into tweaking 709 recovery from SLOG2 and was getting frustrated. Lo and behold you saved the day w/ a simple LUT. I'm using this for everything man, thanks a million! +1 Like, +1 Subscriber!

THIS was pretty helpful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks my man. Glad it helped
thanks for sharing,. keep the nice job
I love this
thanks for this bro, you deserves more subscribers, newbie here
Absolutely love your work! Very appreciative of how you guide. I realize this is an older video but 1: Are you always utilizing a rec709 lut before bringing in a stylized lut? 2: I know in another video you discussed possible doing a piece on false color and waveform monitoring. Did that ever make it to fruition?
awesome, thanks!
great video mate, great footage.
Thanks my friend!
Awesome
this lut to rec709 is amazing
Glad it's helping!
thanks bro , very good lut for my work
Love it!
thank u, perfect explanation for beginner like me. will try it soon. subs + liked 👏😍
Solid video!
Thanks mate!
youre really great, thank you very much
¡Muchas gracias!
Thank you so much!
may you share your Slog 2 settings ?
Hey! I use the standard PP7 profile. No changes made to the settings
Aai yo thanks man for the LUT.
Hey Tommy, this video got suggested to me by UA-cam. Man you are so underrated. You make more awesome videos than I do, you deserve more subs man. Cant wait to see what else you come up with!
Hey! Thanks so much Marvin. Your videos are fantastic! Hoping to have some new content coming out soon.
@@TimmyLodhi thanks buddy, you deserve more viewers, definitely subbed. I'd love to learn more about storytelling.
@@MarvinGreyPhoto Awesome. I've got a music video in the works. Maybe I'll talk about my process and lighting.
This was awesome to watch, thank you. New sub
Appreciate it!
My first time using Slog, after 10 years of resisting to it.
The results are great and your videos are very helpfull, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge.
Next step - stop avoiding Davinci :P
nice job mate, thx
best video ever! love eyou bro from Dominican republic
Thank you!
Thanks! Very helpfull lut :)
Glad it helped!
Your conversion lut just save me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So glad!
@@TimmyLodhi I've checked many videos, i mean many but you really killed it, keep on doing good work, we're learning from you🔥
@@emmanuelondoua 🥳🥳🥳
Small fine tune adjusments like the pushing up the yellow col is better to do after(layer above) applying conversation lut. It makes much more precision results.
Happy birthday to the king who made A7III slog2 alive again!
♥️♥️
Thank you
I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have 2 A6400s and using Slog2 with s-gamut my reds are completely orange. No 709 out I have tried has fixed it and I have been unable to fix with hue vs hue or color masking. Any ideas?
That's super odd. Have you tried any other Picture Profiles and still had this problem?
@@TimmyLodhi yes I have been experimenting with lots of profiles and luts. This one blew out right after adding the lut without any other adjustments.
Thanks a lot.
Brother thank you so much!
Thank you my man!
This channel is G O O D

Beautiful Footage Timmy! Thank you for the tutorial. Do you have one for SLOG-3?
I don’t at the moment. Maybe that’ll be my next video. 😉
the best shot is the interior , very nice look
I think the dog helps lol
These tips and the Lut are such a dream thank you so much! You took my videography to the next level for myself!😍 Can you do a "not overexposed slog 2 lut" and "underexposed slog 2 lut"? Would be amazing!😁
So great to hear! I think that's a good idea. It'll take a bit of testing but it might be something I can work on soon.
@@TimmyLodhi Perfect! I subscribed so im hyped for upcoming content. Keep on going with this amazing content!😊
I’ve actually never seen anyone color correct quite like this before. Your end result is flawless! Yet you don’t follow standard color correction steps which is really interesting I think. Typically everyone I know (including myself) drops the blacks until they’re just above 0 and get the whites just below 100. You had your white well below 100 ire but the image is so beautiful. I guess that just goes to show you don’t always have to do things by the book.
Color grading is totally subjective! As long as you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters.
@@TimmyLodhi 🙌🏻
Great video man! Making the switch from Cine 4 to Slog-2. What do you set your zebras to so nothing clips? I've heard 107 and also 95 so I'm curious to what you set yours to if you use them. Thanks!
Thanks friend! I’m no pro at using zebras but I set mine to 100 + and that serves me well in avoiding clipping the highlights
Thank you man! This info was awesome.. I had a very similar workflow but I saw that my footage was getting some rediness especially at skin tones so I'll try this one and leave feedback.
Also, do you use specific slog2 settings or the default PP7?
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! I just use the default PP7 profile. If you check out my video on exposing SLOG2, I cover it a bit more in detail.
Loved the info for SLog2, this video helps out a lot when starting out to figure out how to manipulate the colors! How do you download the files to premiere pro?
fuck me man this just saved me a headache ive been having for a while now with weird noise, i was exposing perfectly and everything and your lut fixed it! goddamn life saver
Really great video! As a beginner, these tips are SUPER helpful. I did have one question in regards to using ISO. Is it better to crank up the ISO if there isn't enough light in your footage? In your video at 2:01 you mentioned you could have made another video about this. Thanks again for all the knowledge you've provided.
It's always a fine balance. If you don't have enough light, I highly suggest cranking the ISO to compensate. But there's a limit to how high you can go before you end up with a noisy image. So try to judge each location as best as you can.
Thanks a lot
thanks man
NICE
great video and a new sub :D
Awesome!
thanks a lot bro
Always welcome!
Tq so much
Thanks a lot for creating and sharing! Planning to use SLOG2 just as per your input but I am a little concerned about my ISO. If I must overexpose by 1.7-2.0 stops, will I have to keep my ISO at a fixed value and always readjust according to the next scene? Given my type of vlogging, that is a lot of readjustment, as I am planning to vlog morning to evening in so many evvironments.Pretty much moving between indoors, outdoors, sports, cars, harsh conditions, shops, etc. I guess a VND Filter is a must for me. What about my zebras for slog2? When in frame, expose for face? I would appreciate your feedback as I truly trust your judgment.
Hello Tim, thanks for all your educational video. I have a question regarding the slog 2 lut you made. I have the ninja V and a 7 III. Any specific way to expose slog 2 with your lut. I noticed you named it “underexposed”. What do you mean by that? Thank you.

Beginner here. Really helpful video. Hope you don't mind if I ask a question here.
I was playing around with my sony a6500 and noticed that when using shutter priority, i wasnt able to expose over 2 stops to the right. Before taking the video I can set it +2, +3, +4 stops, but the end product all seemed to be exposed the same (+2 cap?).
Manual will lock and expose as directed.
A follow up would be what do you do during shots where lighting and required exposure will change?
Thanks Deepu! I'd suggest using full manual controls if you can. It'll give you more flexibility. Another thing is that the Sony cameras won't display anything past +2 on the light meter itself. If you see it blinking, you've past +2 stops.
@@TimmyLodhi After some more practice shots motivated by your video, it seems that you can't even go past two stops (no blinking) in modes other than manual. Also evident by the exposure of the clips, despite setting the exposure two stops to the right prior to starting to shoot. Looks like sony will automatically stop down to +2 with whatever variable is not locked. Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.
Very well done video i am curious as to what slog 2 settings you ise though ^^
Hey there! I use the standard PP7 profile. No changes made to the settings. I can get you the specifics if you need
amazing video, I liked it, what is your configuration for slog 2? you would help me a lot
This all is incredible information! Has to be the most informative video I've found on UA-cam. Only issue I would be worried about is encountering grain when upping the ISO. What would I do in that situation?
That's the interesting thing. Sometimes upping your ISO actually decreases the amount of noise you get in your shadows. That's why people talk about overexposing SLOG-2 by 2 stops.
It's all about balance. Try increasing your ISO and overexposing without clipping your highlights and compare it to an underexposed image. You'll probably notice the first one looks better.
For the most part, Sony cameras have great noise performance. You can get close to 6400/8000 ISO before it really starts looking bad.
@@TimmyLodhi I never knew this! This is all really interesting to me and I really can't thank you enough for the all the information. I've been wanting to increase my knowledge a lot. Would you be willing to answer a few other questions I have on Instagram about this stuff?
@@TimmyLodhi What are your zebra settings?
@@Cineluvideos Zebras are set to 100+ so I know anything past 100 is clipping
@@TimmyLodhi Thanks I found the answer about setting up zebra.
