Hi, thanks for the video. How do you set 18% gray to 46 on FLOG. I'm using Fujifilm X-T3. Thank you
@PhillipRPeck6 ай бұрын
I have the X-H2S and the in-camera zebras only go down to 50, so I'd imagine it's the same on X-T3. In that case, you'll have to use an external monitor that has zebras that can be set to 46. Then hold an 18% grey card near where your primary subject is/will be and adjust the camera's exposure until zebras show on the 18% grey card. You can also use a waveform (which, of course, the Fuji cameras don't have so external monitor again). Place the grey card in your scene and adjust the exposure in camera until the grey card is sitting at 46IRE on the wave form

If i may ask 2 questions... Q1- In regards to your Flog2-to-Rec709 LUT, do you load this in your external monitor on set to preview what you'll be seeing for when you bring it back to resolve as your starting point? Q2- when you graded the drone footage, i was suprised not to see you having to match the color space to the fuji Log. You used the Dji. Wouldn't that have gave a different look cuz of the color science between the 2 cameras?
@EvanSchneider3 ай бұрын
Hi, yes definitely. I have the base conversion LUT loaded onto my SmallHD for monitoring. If I'm using the built-in screen on the X-H2s, I use the gamma display assist, which will correspond correctly with my conversion LUT when I apply it in post. Instead of converting the drone footage to F-Log2, I converted it to the "common denominator", if you will, or the timeline color space of Rec.709. It is true the two cameras will capture slightly different colors, but I would be overcomplicating the workflow and the colors wouldn't necessarily match if I converted the drone footage to F-Log2 first. It will be much easier to perceptually match the two cameras in my timeline color space.

Not necessarily. Basic adjustments like exposure, white balance, contrast, saturation, etc. are best before but I prefer to make creative adjustments like tone curves and looks after the transform because it’s easier to control.

How to do proper colour space transform for f log 2 can't find it anywhere hope you can help. Can't find flog in input color space , most people say to use rec 2020 . Can't find the best way any suggestions
@EvanSchneider Жыл бұрын
Hi, at this point Resolve hasn't added F-Log2 to their colorspace transform tool. You can use F-Log with similar results, you'll just have to adjust the exposure using the offset. Or you can download Fuji's conversion LUTs, or I've linked my own F-Log2 LUTs in the description. The gamut of F-Log, called F-Gamut by Fuji complies with Rec.2020 so that's what you would choose for input colorspace.

Great grade. What about putting all clips in a group and applying the node tree on that?
@EvanSchneider Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I wouldn't group the clips for this one, but when I do group clips, I only group them if they're using the exact same grade, for instance an interview shot intercut through an entire project. In this sequence, if I grouped them, it would save me time at the beginning but it would add extra steps down the process when I want to balance each shot individually and have to start switching between pre-group, post-group and clip. Best to keep it simple, plus I didn't want to overcomplicate the tutorial too much. Thanks for the question.

@@EvanSchneider thanks for the explanation. I wish I didn’t buy the conversion I saw yesterday because yours gives a TON of more options and flexibility.

Hi Evan, I rewatched this video now four times, with DR open on my second screen. Your node tree is super helpful and my color grades are getting better. I am still struggling a lot with all the initial settings in DR that are color related. You would not have an overview somewhere? If I open my 'project settings / color management tab' I wonder what are the right settings (using an XH2S) for color science, 'time line & output color space' (I have that set to REC 709 scene right now) ?? I feel I need to get a deeper understanding here, before, I can really 'play the piano of colors' ....

Hi Evan, thanks for all the great fuji content. I have an xh2s and am trying to get better flog2 results in fcpx. I'm looking for a clean commercial look, ideally something like Astia, which I love.

Hey, thanks! Most of my Fuji LUTs act more as a starting point than a final grade. There are some creative looks that might get you close to Astia, but if you're looking for that specific look it might be best to grade it manually. I will say that my Fuji LUTs will give you a better starting point with F-Log2 than the Fuji free ones.

Hi Evan, good to see this video. Nicely done stuff. So when you did this node tree, what was your color management in your project settings page? Did you set the color science on DaVinci YRGB and Timeline color space to Rec 709 (Scene)? This is a confusion I still have.
@EvanSchneider Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for watching. For this node tree, my color management was set to DaVinci YRGB, timeline color space was set to Rec.709 Gamma 2.4, and my output was set to Same as Timeline. This allows me to have manual control of the color management via the node tree. If you're setting up a similar node tree/workflow, I would recommend setting your timeline colorspace to Rec.709 2.4 and output the same as your timeline. If you're working on a Mac and you want your export to match what you see in the Resolve viewer, you could set your output colorspace to Rec.709-A and then in Preferences > General, make sure to check the boxes on for "Use Mac display color profiles for viewers" and "Use 10-bit precision in viewers if available".

I don't use zebras. I expose to how it looks on the screen, keeping it around 0 on the meter and avoiding blown out highlights. But 70% seems high for skin tones. Middle grey on F-Log2 is at 39%, so I would keep skin tones around there (plus or minus 5-10%)
