The above steps you did are fine (it's one way of doing it), but the step below is probably NOT what you want to do: Am I doing it wrong?Īlso, do you overexpose your log files compared to 'normal' video? Do you have zebras set up, to what levels? I right-click the node and select both the log gamma and the color space.ĭoing the above changes the curves in the bottom panels, but the clip itself renders exactly the same as before.I find the 'default' node that davinci creates in the upper right corner.Though I have already tried to play with the mentioned settings and it did not seem to affect my clips at all. Here is an example, with no other processing: I use DaVinci Resolve Studio color management, setting the input gamut to Canon.cinema (which is what I use) and the input gamma to Clog 3. I have shot the same short inddor clip in both normal mode, and with different log settings, and no matter what I do the log clips never look nearly as good as the normal shot.Ĭan anyone share their workflow? How do you expose properly? What LUT's are you using? what nodes/settings? I just want a baseline that roughly looks like the 8bit video shot, then I can color grade and process from there. I have tried the LUT built in to Davinci Resolve 17 (on my macbook), but it still looks like ****. When I shoot log video the image comes out far grainier and different looking than the 'normal' video. I usually leave sharpening to the last node, and in those instances, I change the color space of that sharpening node to LAB and then I un-check Channels 2 and 3, which means that (theoretically, at least) I am applying sharpening to luminance contrast and not to color contrast, so again, theoretically, wouldn't amplify color noise too much.ĭo you know what ISO you were shooting at when you were shooting in CLog? The first node in my node tree would be for exposure corrections (so using HDR panel) second node would be my primary color corrections and third node would be my secondary corrections. Then go to your media bin and right click on your Canon RAW files, and change the Input Color Space of the files to CLog3 Then in the Resolve Color Management Preset box directly below it, change it to Davinci Wide Gamut

Go in to Settings -> Color Management -> Color Science and change it to Davinci YRGB Color Management. I don't shoot with Canon (I use panasonic) but I agree with that you should try to use Resolve 17's YRGB Color Management and Davinci Wide Gamut, along with the new HDR panel, when grading.
