Anyone shooting in D-log? I believe you can now have ISO set to 100? . What LUT in Premiere would be a good starting point when grading?
Would this just pertain to the X5 gimbal or the X4S also? TY in advanceI found this thread very helpful Exploring DLOG, Setting Exposure Using the Wave Form Scope, Creating a LUT for Dlog…
Try the LUT in there as a starting point.
I've found D-Log 0,0,0 profile works best for me. The -3 -3 -3 and +2 stops is way too washed out and mushy,
Do not waste your time on D-log with X4S. It has been long established that the D-log when shooting in h.264 has been broken. It is impossible to grade and get good result. You would be much better off shooting in D-Cinelike. It is a nice profile and it works very well in most situations. When shooting under sun set the WB to about 5000K (this can vary based on your ND filters which can introduce color shift) and you should have very workable starting point when editing and grading. It usually needs a bit of S curve and increased saturation to 120% that is if you like your video to pop, and you should be close to satisfactory outcome.Would this just pertain to the X5 gimbal or the X4S also?

What LUT would you use then with DCinelike ?Do not waste your time on D-log with X4S. It has been long established that the D-log when shooting in h.264 has been broken.

You do not need any special LUT. D-Cinelike is not as flat as D-log and only needs a bit of color and tonal adjustment. Just use your eyes and play with curves and saturation in post. Maybe pull down a highlights and bring up shadows a bit if you feel it helps. All basic things, not any different to when editing photos in LR ot Photoshop.What LUT would you use then with DCinelike ?
Style Custom and just increase saturation to +1. Remember that you want to get as close as possible to the final look while shooting. In general h.264 does not take agressive grading well. Ideally you would want to make as little adjustments/grading in post as possible, unless you want to achieve some special effect look.What about the style settings in the DJI app? depends on the situation? Or should it always be the same for the X4S and Dcinelike. Last thread post, promise ?
