Phantom LUTs | Recommended iPhone Settings for the Blackmagic Camera App 

What's even crazier is lol.. I've been using the BMD Luts on the S5ii, and not even in V-Log.. I usually use Cine-D but, I just loaded up the luts, and toggle / select them from "REAL TIME LUT" and just shoot lol. It's interesting, but working lol.

That's great to hear man! Thanks for the love

It is confusing! But that's why we made this video 😁 Set Colour Space to 'Apple Log - HDR' (this tells the app to record in LOG), and set Colour Space Tag to 'Rec.709' (this configures the app for the final colour space of Rec.709). If you set Colour Space Tag to 'Apple Log' instead, it will throw-off your exposure and even oversaturate some colours and although some scenes will look punchy, the skintones and colour accuracy will suffer, and ultimately you'll loose that organic ARRI look and feel that has been the standard in the cinema industry for decades! You need to set the colour tag to 709 so you can see how the LUT is accurately going to look like in post on your NLE when you're shooting.

Thank you! It finally clicked with me.

No need to overexpose at all :) Just be sure to monitor with your LUT on and set the colour tag in the LUT menu to rec709 and you'll be fine.

I've never tried it actually.

It's always best to apply 65x LUTs in editing, but to bake in your LUT; under the LUTs section - turn on "Record LUT to Clip"

Yeah? But these are rec709 LUTs - and the rec709 colour tag is in the LUTs Menu not the recording menu.

@@phantomluts So does that setting matter if it’s just a color space tag? Why would you want to tag log video as 709?

Good question, the app wants to know which colour space the LUT is going to take the Log footage - so setting it to Rec.709 indicates to the app that this will be the final colour space.
