I believe in getting right to the meat of it, and not dragging you along until the end so without further ado, these are the settings you should use. Simply put, if you’re not filming in log, you’re throwing away almost half of the details in your images and there is no way to get them back.Ĭheck out this great article we posted a little while back with Gerald Undone that dives a little deeper into what log is and how to work with it in DaVinci Resolve: Common Log Grading Mistakes and How to Avoid Them The Best Settings for the Sony A7S III Log is a method of compressing the colors and dynamic range of the image into a signal that retains the most information for professional color grading in post. Understanding the importance of shooting in Log is the first step in understanding how to properly use your Sony A7S III. Thankfully, wolfcrow has put together an in-depth guide on how to get-it-done-right when filming in S-Log3 on the new Sony A7S III. The Sony A7S III is a terrific, low-cost, dynamite low-light powerhouse, but when you’re not shooting with it in raw, taking the time to get your color and exposure set properly the first time is of the utmost importance (even in 10-bit). Sure, mistakes happen, lines are forgotten, nothing is ever going to be perfect, but when you’re a cameraman knowing how to properly expose your camera to get the best possible image is paramount. When you’re a professional filmmaker, not doing it right the first time means you’re losing money. And unless you’re Peter Jackson, that probably won’t ever happen. In filmmaking, you never get a second chance unless you’ve got a lot of money to pay for a reshoot. This subreddit focuses more on photography.As John Robert Wooden, the famous NCAA basketball coach, once famously said, “If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?”. You can easily transform hlg to 709 if you want, or leave it in hlg to create an HDR image.Īnd as a final note, I think you'll find more information about video postprocessing by going to /r/colorists. It's almost as much dynamic range as slog2, but requires far less "bending" of the image in postproduction to get a pleasing result, and as such the 8-bit footage tends to hold up better. Of course, since that's all a big pain in the butt, I end up filming in hlg3 about 99% of the time. I found pretty good results by creating a picture profile with the slog2 gamma and the standard 709 color space, and then selecting the appropriate options within a color space transform node inside Resolve. With that said, the major issue with slog2 on an a7iii is that you're limited to 8-bit footage, which means that bending the color space from slog2 to rec709 puts a lot of pressure on the limited data you have. Anything else with respect to LUTs has created pretty unsatisfying results for me. This subreddit is mostly night mode compatibleįrom my personal experience, using either a color managed workflow process or the color space transforms within Davinci Resolve has been solid for dealing with slog2 footage. There are various places around the web you can use to host RAW files. No piracy related posts (asking for presets, trading presets, offering presets, etc.) NSFW images that are not tagged will be removed. We'd like to keep this subreddit for serious discussion only. No joke posts, memes, or rage comics, please. If several minutes have passed and your submission does not appear under NEW, try messaging the moderators, it was probably stopped by the spam filter. Post processing for video should go to /r/filmmakers. Posts not related to post processing should go in /r/photography. To share a picture, visit /r/photographs, /r/photocritique, or /r/pics. r/postprocessing is for help with editing your photo, linking to information about post processing, and sharing tips with the community. This is not the place to show off your photos. This will let the OP see how they can better edit their pictures. When you make adjustments to a photo, include the steps you took or take a screenshot of your settings. The JPEG will let us preview your shot without downloading it, and the RAW will allow us to edit it more effectively. When you submit a photo, be sure to include both a JPEG and RAW file (if available). Simply asking for others to edit your photo for you, without putting in the effort to make an attempt yourself will result in your post being removed. When asking for help editing one of your photos, you must also include your attempt. By submitting your RAW files for help, edits for critique, and questions about processing, the reddit community will be able to help you create an amazing final photo. Welcome fellow colorists, retouchers, and photographers! By using programs such as Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture, you can transform your photos - enhancing the subject, fixing composition, and setting a mood.
