**NOTE for those who can't seem to be bothered to read below before posting 'advice for me' - This FREE series uses and focusses on grading with the Tangent Devices Elements Panel - This is an essential piece of gear when colour grading in my opinion- however everything I show you can be done on the mouse. Working with Log material can be difficult at times, so we have put out a couple of different LUTs for use when using the Sony F3's S-Log or Canon Log from the Canon C300.I've created a FREE 4 part video series called Color Grading 101. You can download the F3 LUTs and the C300 LUTs, as many of you have already done. Read the Feb 2014 update here, Updated Applying LUTs to Log footage.Īrri has their online LUT Generator, and the Technicolor CineStyle LUTs are available when using the CineStyle profile on the 5D Mark II. We are often asked how to use these LUTs and work with Log in general, so I have put together some methods for using LUTs and other plugins to work with Log footage in different NLEs.
There are a lot of great programs available that make this process very easy, like Scratch Lab, YoYotta, ColorFront OSD, and many more. For the purposes of this demo though, I'll focus on some inexpensive (or free) utilities that can tackle the problem. We'll start with Final Cut Pro 7 & X, but here are a couple quick links to jump down to different sections - Adobe Premiere, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve. There are many different plugins available for Final Cut Pro that can correct for Log footage.
Below is an outline of the different available options and how to use them. These FCP 7 plugins require that footage be rendered after the plugin is applied, though some systems might be able to keep up. At the bottom of this section I've outlined how to send the corrected footage through Compressor for rendering. The first option for applying LUTs in FCP 7 is a free plugin with a funny name. It is a simple plugin that allows you to add a LUT to a clip. Here are the simple steps to apply in Final Cut Pro 7.Īdd your Log clips to a sequence, and then locate the LUT Buddy plugin in the Effects tab.ĭownload LUT Buddy from Magic Bullet and install it. LUT Buddy is stored in the Magic Bullet Colorista folder.ĭrag the plugin on top of your clip, and then double-click on the clip to view it in the Viewer window. Now click on the Filter tab to see the LUT Buddy settings.Ĭlick the Option button and another window will appear.Ĭlick Import LUT. Locate the appropriate LUT and import away. Note: When using the AbelCine LUTs, I have found that. MGA files seem to work the best with LUT Buddy (Pandora LUTs).
