Quick addition - Change the LUT interpolation (colour management project settings) to 'Tetrahedral' for better results - still reveals the same issue in this video, just a bit smoother.

It doesn't happen on other LUTS as shown in the video. That LUT is clearly not good. Yes, Tetrahedral is best setting, I wasn't set to it for this video - I just tried it and it smoothed it a bit but not enough I would trust that LUT. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@DarrenMostyn I have a guess here, which might be wrong. I think the size of the cube lattices are different. One might be a 17x17x17 grid, the other 33x33x33. One LUT uses a smaller cube than the other, and then trilinear interpolation is going to introduce more error. A dead giveaway for this would be a marked difference in file size.

Thanks for this video Darren. I’ve been playing around with iPhone 15 Pro Max and the BM Camera App for about a month. It was great that your video confirmed my Resolve project settings. The only difference is that I set up Apple Log/ Rec 2020 in my Project Settings so that I didn’t have to do a CST in my node trees. I always work in DaVinci WG as my intermediate color space, and Rec709/Gamma 2.2 is the final output. Again, all set up in my project settings, Based on other KZfaq videos on the BM Camera App, I’ve been shooting at an ISO of 1250 with a VND. In just experimenting, I’ve found that a lot of color correction isn’t needed for most of the shots. Mostly just tweaks to exposure and contrast. So far, it’s been a fun kit to play with.

Darren, this is so useful. One thing I'm still struggling with though is the Rec709 output gamma for a MacBook Pro M1. I've seen conflicting things when googling it. Some say Rec709 A, some say Gamma 2.2. I'm fairly new to Mac so when I used to use a Windows laptop I was comfortable to go with Gamma 2.4. Should I use output Gamma 2.4 regardless for compatibility with people who use Windows? Or do I need to choose the output gamma for my Mac display - which I don't know which to use! Your valuable advice would be much appreciated!! Many thanks! Just to add, my MacBook display setting is set to Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) and the refresh rate is set to ProMotion.

Hi, Darren. I've been watching your videos all week, and I want to thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm running into an issue with my video rendering, however. I'm noticing a significant loss of quality (i use h. 265) and color information (that i graded with so much effort), which ends up looking a bit washed out in the final video. Is there a specific setting in the rendering process I can adjust to prevent this? Or is there a particular format I should be using? Thanks again for your help!

The blacks get crushed on a grayscale ramp, because Apple log's blackpoint is much higher. If you feed it something other than Apple Log, something that has a lower black point, the blacks just get crushed. You can see this by for example going from Gamma 2.4 to Apple Log using a CST.

A few notes on the CST vs LUT comparison you did in the middle of this video. - First of all, please note that the CST you are using in those examples is set to "Output Gamma: Use Timeline" which in your case is DaVinci Intermediate. NOT Rec709. Anyways, since the comparisons with the ramp are mainly about banding artefacts in the poorly designed LUT, this point still comes across. - The fact that blacks get crushed in the LUT and CST examples is by design. This has to do with how the log OETF is designed. The Arri LUT you are using (shipped by Resolve) is really outdated and actually lifts the shadows up high, quite a bit. Arri released a much more technically accurate LUT long ago. If you compare this newer one to the CST they match quite closely. And they both crush the blacks of the ramp, because this is as I said by design.

Hi Sven. I didn't have DWG as timeline setting on LUT test, it was 709 default. I also never use the Arri LUT - only CST, it was to show an example of a 'better' tone curve, but appreciate your point. Thank you - very valuable input and appreciated. Darren

Thank you for this and many other great videos. I have the stupidest question imaginable. I have Resolve set to to deliver REC. 709 using the Mostyn best ever node tree. The stupid question is what profile do I use on my monitor? I assume REC 709 but it looks terrible. I'm working offline on a Macbook Pro with a Retina display. (Yes, I know, I need a broadcast monitor but I just want to get in the ballpark. I have clocked a million hours in top end DI suites with famous colorists here in LA but I'm a director not a colorist. This project will eventually be graded by somebody else.) The default ColorLCD profile looks fine. The REC 709 profile is way too dark and the low end is crushed. The dark gray patches in the lower corners of SMPTE bars are not visible. Gray scale, same thing. Does anybody know what I'm not getting?

Why when I import my Apple Log videos in Davinci, they are already "colored"? In the iPhone or Mac, they are greyed. Like a log file should be. But when I import them in DaVinci, they look like a rec709 video.

Your colour management setting is likely turned to Colour managed so it is doing the CST conversion for you automatically.

@@LuckeGabriel nope. I found this behavior using DaVinci on iPadOS 18 e MacOS Sequoia. Just with davinci. Using other apps, this not happens. And just with AppleLog. With S-Log3 not.

Why does that intro still look like it's got lots of sharpening going on? almost like the non log footage. Is that just me that thinks that?

I find it's still extremely obvious that the intro clips were shot on an iPhone.
