Gross oversimplification but you get the idea. Technical LUT = Looks 'Normal' by adding contrast and saturation.įilm Emulation LUT = A type of creative LUT that tries to replicate the look of film stocks For instance, a creative lut might help one achieve the 'Teal and Orange' look. The creative LUTs don't make your footage look 'Normal' but instead add some artistic flair to it. Some people say, 'It takes too long to grade LOG footage,' but the reality is that applying a TECHNICAL LUT to the footage only takes about two seconds.īy the way, I have capitalized the word TECHNICAL because there are other types of LUTs that are CREATIVE LUTs. In short, the TECHNICAL LUT will take your CLOG clip - which will be a bit desaturated and will lack a lot of contrast - and it will make it look 'normal' by re-saturating the color and adding contrast.Īs mentioned above, most any NLE will have these technical LUTS built in and you just need to apply them. 709? It is the Standard Definition (SD) gamut, which includes brightness levels and color space.

Pretty much any Non Linear Editor (an NLE, which is what programs like Premiere Pro, Final Cut, and DaVinci Resolve are), will have a TECHNICAL LUT for transforming CLOG in to the Rec. Bring a gray card and learn how to read zebras and waveforms (I am assuming the R6 has zebras and waveforms). It can be a bit harder to nail your exposure and white balance when shooting in CLOG. While I think that DaVinci Resolve would be GREAT for working with C LOG, since you mentioned you are new to video, maybe CLOG is not right for YOU? (There is a version 17 but it is in Beta release, so there are a few bugs that need to be worked out.)

I would suggest trying DaVinci Resolve 16 which is the current STABLE release. you could START out with some of the free ones. While I am just starting with video I am mainly interested in the ones that support C-Log and have a decent feature set.
