The biggest thing is getting exposure right when you shoot the footage. If you don't, then you have to worry a lot more about correcting the footage before you grade it, involving using the scopes and all that stuff, which is helpful, but it's a lot nicer when you can do it by eye, especially for edits that need done quickly.
YAY! So excited for these! Thank you for walking us through your process. Didn't even realize Premiere was desaturating colors! Can't wait to use this workflow & your LUTs in my next edit!
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="701">11:41</a> in the video just threw me into a massive rabbits hole of searching about RAW VIDEO. Finally found a video that talks about that. WOW.
I am switching to PP from FCP and it seems that it automatically converts my log footage so when I apply a corrective LUT it seems to look off. Is that normal?
Hello, how do I set the camera and how do I set Premier Pro so that after recording in log format, all clips after editing and adding LUT have the same color even though they were recorded at different time intervals (for example, one clip was recorded at 11 and the next at 16 or on one the sun was behind the clouds and on the other it wasn't)
Thanks for the great information, Eric! I just got a LUT from Canon. There are three folders according to grid size and there are two in each folder(Log 2 and Log3). Could you please help me understand which to choose?
Great video!! So should the conversion LUT and the creative LUT always be applied on the same adjustment layer? In regards to exporting, does the video lose saturation if it's exported through Media Encoder? I always export that way. I shoot mainly concert footage. Any LUTs you may recommend for that type of video?
Thank you for sharing this and for creating the luts! I've really been enjoying them! Question. With your C70, do you use any of the in camera noise reduction/spatial filtering? Do you also typically shoot at ISO800 or do you adjust your ISO as needed? Thank you keep up the great work Eric!
So, 606 is just a creative look, so you can put it on top of anything. As far as black magic support through Gamut, if it’s the same log curve, then their black magic rec709 should work as a base before you apply 606 🤙🏼
I know this video is a couple of years old, but I’m having to switch from Davinci to Premiere for a new job. This is hands down the most helpful PP color grading video I’ve been able to find!!
Should work in either, but I've always understood that ALL-I is less compressed, which would definitely give more flexibility with pushing color, contrast, & exposure
Hi Eric - QQ if you don't mind, as I learn about this. I have a Mavic 3 Pro and was about to press the button on your 606 LUTs, but in the tech specs, it only mentions regular cameras and not drones. Does this mean that your creative LUTs are only for those cameras, or can LUTs be used for any camera..? Thanks for helping me understand.
What is the difference between Library > Application Support > Adobe > Common > LUTs > (then create the Creative & Technical ) Folder vs. Finding Premiere Pro (right Click) > Show Package Content > Contents > Lumetri > LUTS > then it shows 3 folders named Creative, Legacy, and Technical ?????? please if you could answer this!
thank you so much for this video Eric. Always thankful for the content you put out for all of us. I have a question, can I use the lut on my nikon z6ii? I like the look on your videos. thank you!
Tested the Alexa 35 with 17 Stops Dynamic Range is really a game changer and blew me away. To import LUTs you can also use the Premiere Pro icon right click see package content and copy the LUTs in that folder. It's way easier :) Thank me later lol
Super simple and solid workflow man! Everyone grades different but it was so nice seeing your simplified process. I have a few questions! Do you ever look at your scopes while making basic adjustments? To see where you whites/black and all that are, or just whatever looks right to you? Also, do you prefer the gamut rec709 luts over the standard ones canon provides? I don't have CLOG2, just CLOG3 on my R6, but not a big fan of canon's. Congrats on the LUT pack, they look great and timeless. Solid tutorial man!
"if you want cinematic footage you need dynamic range." (says Eric sitting in a room with extremely limited dynamic range drenched in completely clipped shadows.) LOL
