How long did it take you to get your fx6

@@Deedzproductionz hey i live in Tokyo so I was able to get in store.

@@TyCrane26 do you think they ship to US

We've got an FX6 coming in April, so we'll be adding dedicated support for it soon

Do the sony skin tones look like the canon ones?

Yes been working on it for the past few days! Just trying to make sure I do it right and cover everything people really want to know.

Thank you!

Is this better than color space transform in resolve?

​@@BlaineWestropp1Color Space Transform doesn't do color matching - if you compare them side-by-side, you'll see CineMatch is far more accurate. Download the free trial and test it out for yourself

@@cinematch113 thank you!

same here

I’m wondering the same thing. In testing color space transform trying to match an fx3 to an Alexa it doesn’t work the best.

CST in Resolve isn't designed for matching footage - it's just a generic formula that puts your footage in the correct gamma/gamut for grading. CineMatch actually performs a sensor match on your footage prior to our transform, so your footage is matched much more closely out of the box

Its the exact same

Yes, CineMatch provides much better match results because we actually do a sensor match to align the camera footage prior to the gamma/gamut transform. CST is just a generic transform, it's not tailored to the camera sensor and it's not doing any matching

@@cinematch113 thank you!

You don’t always have a color checker on hand especially when gettin b-roll shots. It’s fine if your doing interviews in a controlled environment but there’s heaps of times you get great shots and don’t have time to get out your color checker right

@@Sirfunkymonkey Sure, if you are a hobbyist 👍 If you do professional cinematography work for clients, you better get that color chart out so you don't f-up their brand/product colors!

@@perhaar sure but that’s only applicable to products with specific colours and of course you would. That being said I have only ever had one shoot where a colour checker was 100% required or it cost me the job. Maybe I’m just a hobbyist

In our testing, CineMatch works much better than the Color Match in Lumetri, because it's purely based on camera sensor data - there's no AI or scene-matching guessing going on, so the results are a lot more accurate and reproducible across difference scenes

Because different lenses can have different looks/color shifts the software can't take that into consideration.

@@bwashmedia We have a dedicated set of primary and secondary controls that are designed specifically for refining your match after the initial sensor match, so you should be able to use CineMatch to quickly compensate for the lens differences

Currently it only works with Log profiles, but we're planning to add support for select non-Log profiles in a future update

can I match DJI drone footage to blackmagic 6k?

@@bmefilms6879 yes, we have some DJI profiles in the plugin - you'll need to shoot RAW or D-Log

is it better to match the canon r6 over the eos r with the bmpcc 6k?

@Christian Charlesworth FCP version is coming soon, stay tuned to our channel for details

@@timelessamor5718 it will depend on your particular footage, but generally the transforms will work equally well in both directions

The issue is that each manufacturer has its own log gamma curve, and using their own rec709 conversions will not lead to the same image even if the cameras shot side by side with the same glass. The interpretation of the data ends up being different (one manufacturer has reds pushed towards orange or blues towards cyan, or even slightly varying luminance values on the same color) and so you need to reach a baseline at which each gamma curve is the same (which is what they did here).

“Upgrade” isnt the right word. “Color Match” is the right right word. You aren’t going to have red footage, you will have red looking footage. But its not going to act like red.

We do have a profile for the A7SIII, which has the same sensor as the FX3, so it should provide good results

@@cinematch113 Thanks. I looked at your website and did not see it listed. My bad. I will actually try this out on Friday as I have a shoot using two BMPCC 6K's, one A7sIII and one FX3.

@@Justin_Allen perfect - let us know how it works out for you, we're eager to see people using it on real-world projects!

@@cinematch113 So, I did that thing. Used an A7sIII, FX3, and a BMPCC 6k and went to match everything up. I will say that I got better images than I thought I would but that is not to say that your plug-in was at fault. I am brand new to the production side and 15 years out of knowledge on the post side AND this was my first project back with only 24 hours to put together over 500 edits for an hour-long show. Welcome back! I did very little post production and the plug-in did a good job, especially with the Sony cameras matching up to BRAW. I did not get as good of an result when using BRAW to BRAW but there may be several reasons for that. 1) Can you make a video explaining the use of your adjustments once the plug-in is selected? Your documentation did not do it for me. 2) I did not quite understand the process for selecting the first node and then not setting the second half...but then second the second half on all the rest. Overall however if anyone is on the fence about buying this...DO IT! Especially if you use multiple cameras. I cannot tell you the weight it took off my mind in having this option, especially since I am new to it all.

@@Justin_Allen thanks for that feedback, that's really good to hear. We do have some video tutorials in the works, so we'll let you know when those are available

I agree. That's what I use and it works perfectly.

Cst remaps the colour profile, but not the colour science itself

Actually, no :) CST is just a mathematical transform that converts your footage to the correct gamma/gamut ready for grading. CineMatch does a sensor match before this step, which aligns the colors from your camera to the target, so it's a much more accurate and faster tool than CST in resolve.

Color science absolutely matters, but if you can't afford to rent 3 Alexas, or even one Alexa, CineMatch can help you match the color science of over 50 different camera models to any target color science you like.

@@cinematch113 this i can agree. this is more faithful.

@@cinematch113 great response 👌

Agreed. Also, one can easily use Color space transform included in Resolve to do the heavy lifting first.

@@rm-film CineMatch is more accurate that CST in Resolve, because we match the sensor response of the camera before applying the target color science

There's already a feature in Resolve, but as has been noted elsewhere on this thread, it isn't entirely accurate - the unique selling point of this tool is that it is configured to specific camera sensors, not just blindly plugging a target camera's colour science onto footage

and wouldn't you know it, colours don't match lol
