Nice tutorial. Did you add the “neutral phantom lut” to the source of the footage before you started adjusting your image? I usually add I legacy slog3 lut from premiere to the source footage first then add the creative look. I’m new to phantom luts. My footage looks very over Saturated when I add one of the stylized phantom luts on top of the neutral lut. Am I doing it all wrong?
Hello! Thanks for watching! The stylized looks in the phantom luts pack already include a slog 3 conversion. So if you use one of those you do not need to to use the neutral lut. They are essentially an all in one lut with the conversion and creative look all baked in. That’s why I like using the neutral lut, because my footage won’t be affected when it comes to the “color correction” hope that helps
@@JessieJuarezz thanks! Ok that makes sense. It was not totally clear in the pdf that was the case. So the neutral phantom lut is better paired with other creative luts (Danny’s luts ex.), but if I just want to use a phantom lut go for one of the baked in stylized ones like jamaica for example. Is that right?
Hi, I am new to videography and just 10 days back i purchased sony a7siii. This is my first camera and I purchased phantom luts too but the moment I am applying phantom luts my image is getting darker which I don't like. Even applying other luts after applying neutral lut is making image darker. suggestions very much required. Thanks
There’s too version’s of the phantom luts they are both included in the purchase, the legacy luts and the regular exposure ones. The legacy luts are meant for footage overexposed by two stops, so try using the other ones, if you still have that problem then maybe your original footage is not exposed correctly
@@utunnelindia there are different ways to find perfect exposure, but the camera light meter is one way to find it and to keep it at zero means that whatever you’re focused at is at perfect exposure. So for the most part the regular exposure lut with S-log 3 Will do the job, feel free to reach out on IG @jessiejuarez__ for more questions
Brother, first of all, congratulations for your great work! I have a question: I'm waiting for the Sony Fx30 to arrive, but I heard that there are problems with the import in Premiere and that the file must be converted first. Is it TRUE? Thank you very much, I'm waiting for new videos on your channel! !!
I am not familiar with the F30, I use the FX3, but sony uses very similar codec throughout their cameras so I would be surprised with there are importing problems.
Awesome video! I just got the FX3 and I’m really excited! I love Danny and I was think of getting his luts, but I wasn’t sure if I should use luts yet or learn how to do it myself, what do you think?
Learning how to grade, and what it means to grade is always helpful. What really taught how to get better at grading is to understand what is being done to the footage to get a particular look. Having luts that work (like the DG Luts) are extremely helpful because you can study what those luts do to the waveforms and helps you identify the different grading styles
@@JessieJuarezz that’s really good advise, thank you! I just started creating videos so you might see me commenting questions a lot because your stuff is good!
Great job. Your video shown up on my feed because I’m looking for practical color grading with the phantom Luts. No one really shows their Adobe Premiere workflow. Any suggestions for people to watch that you learned from? I’m a fellow Sony FX3 user. New subscriber.
I’ve have learned most of my color grading from working colorists. But the videos that have helped me out are DaVinci Resolve tutorials. There are some essential steps that can be applicable to any software. i haven’t seen much FX3 grading specific videos, so I’m trying to put out the info that has helped me out. Thanks again man!
Great overview. Question: Sorry if I missed this, but do you put the Danny Gervitz LUTs on top of the Phantom Neutral LUT and your color correction (white balance) at the very top layer? Is the neutral LUT there just to convert to Rec 709 color space and the Gervitz for stylizing? Also, love the location--I went to the Alabama Hills for the first time about a week ago, it's such a beautiful place!
Thank you! The bottom layer is the phantom lut which brings my Log footage to Rec-709. I correct the white balance on that layer then I add another layer which is where I add the stylized look(Danny Gevirtz Lut) I also adjust the color wheels there to adjust for my preference. The main color-correcting takes place in that first layer. I hope that hopes!
@@JessieJuarezz thanks! If I wanted to color correct on a separate layer from the rec 709 phantom conversion LUT, do you advise that I place the color correction layer above or below the Phantom LUT layer? Just subbed to your channel, looking forward to more tutorials!
@@BackpackingVideos Thanks! Appreciate it! I haven’t seen too much of a difference to do it before or after. But if you want to keep it separate, then adding a layer above the correction layer would be the way to go, because bringing back the saturation and contrast (which is what the conversation lut does) is always the the first step when working with log footage
