Great vid. Bought the new version today. I think the old one was good but this one is kind of refined!!

@robertulrich3964 4 года назад

perhaps the white balance temp/tint is being applied as linear light. I find that that transfer mode compositing in linear light really makes coloring look more filmic and not rec. 709 crushing. also, another transfer mode (color), with levels white output 140rgb can clip saturation to film colors. your vectorscope will get fatter but not extend outwards, just like film.

@JanBadertscher 4 года назад

Hey Gerald. Thumbs up for this video! Very helpful. I've shot 3 months in HLG1 / BT2020 instead of Rec709 on the A7III. Any idea how to convert from BT2020 to Rec709 (if it even makes sense on the the 8bit codec)? Or if we can still use the HLG1 profile in Nitrate and tweak it a bit.

I get grain in my videos how do I get rid of that and I also use film convert

@EposVox 4 года назад

The film grain definitely doesn't compress well on RU-vid - especially at 1080p - so I've never entirely understood the appeal of this kind of processing. BUT DAMN the update here is nice.

@geraldundone 4 года назад

That could be an interesting upload. Do the same clip with varying amounts of grain and view it at 1080p and 4K and see if there's a sweet spot for RU-vid.

@timalves322 4 года назад

Question for an old school photographer. When you change the ISO on a digital camera, do you get a corresponding change in the grain of the image? In the same way that changing from one film roll to a different roll of film with a higher ASA gives you an emulsion with larger silver flakes and therefor grainer image?

@baqcasanke 3 года назад

Yes. Higher iso values gives you more grain in the image.

@mystic7splace 2 года назад

Hopefully somebody still answers questions on 2 year old uploads. I have tried the old Film Convert and the newer Nitrate. Whether it's h.264 or ProRes RAW, whether I color correct first or just use uncorrected log footage, as soon as I drop FilmConvert on the clip it looks horrible, toooooo dark, too contrasty, skin tones shot to shit. The only way to get it even half way decent is to turn the opacity down on the adjustment layer I put FC on. In other words way too much work to even get my video back to decent. Any advice, oh Great Undone?

Does it make a difference if we shoot in HLG 3 BT.2020 beforehand. Because premiere converts the footage to Rec 709 already right? (Like, when using the Leeming LUT for example) Edit: It's probably how Filmconvert nitrate works, but still. I wonder if there's any advantage/disadvantage if I would keep shooting with the 2020 color space. Any thoughts ?

Hey Gerald! Great video man, I like how the grain is subtle. Really enjoy that look. I was wondering if you were a fan of black pro mist filters? I’ve heard they can help if you’re aspiring to get the “Film Look”. Many people recommend the 1/8 or 1/4 but I’d love to see a video of you taking a go at these types of filters. Let me know! Thanks for being so helpful

@geraldundone 4 года назад

Hey! Thanks. I've used them in the past, but I'm not a huge fan of them. I don't like the halation they offer. That bloomy light glow around highlights. There are diffusion filters that soften without causing halation, but that's VERY easy to reproduce in post. My technique is to shoot with 0 output sharpening and no diffusion filters and then decide what to do with that footage down the line. Gives me the most neutral starting point.

If I'm using a XT3 with all those built in simulations, would you still recommend me getting this? And does this completely replace Lumetri?

@geraldundone 4 года назад

Think of this as more of a tool for colour grading and the film modes in the X-T3 like picture profiles. If you want more flexibility, shoot log on the Fuji and then use this method. It will give different results than the in-camera profiles. If you like the way the in-camera profiles look, then stick with it.

@OhanaFilms 4 года назад

The problem is that all of the grain turns to crap as soon as RU-vid/Vimeo compresses your file. It's a great plug-in but it's undermined by online compression.

Hi, I love the look of the Film Convert Nitrate film stock emulations, however, over the last several months whenever I apply FCN to a clip it completely slows down Final Cut Pro X. Why is this? Other plugins don’t slow my system down in this way. The rendering takes forever - even if I turn off FCPX background rendering, FCN grinds my FCPX to a halt. What could be causing this and what do you recommend to improve this? Thanks.
