thanks, will do!

thanks!

thanks man <3

input color space should be rec709 :))

If you're talking about Standard vs S-Log picture profiles, S-Log generally flattens the image (pulls highlights down and shadows up) while Standard bakes in the highlights and shadows at a default contrast setting. Using S-Log2 with it's standard color mode, S-Gamut, on the A7iii (only has 8-bit color) means that the colors essentially get desaturated and have to be pulled back to Rec709 when it comes time to color correct. The 8-bit color doesn't record enough information so we end up with a lot of color noise and artifacts in the conversion from S-Gamut to Rec709. Here, we are changing the color mode that we're using with S-Log2. So, essentially with S-Log2 + ITU709 matrix we're getting Rec709 colors but with the highlights and shadows being pulled in so that they're not clipping out the gate. Then we just adjust highlights and shadows to our liking, and touch color less in color grading. This way we get less noise and color artifacts in our image. Maybe I'm not great at color grading but to my understanding, ANY 8-bit color footage breaks pretty easily if you're going for some crazy color shifts... so this method still can't really fix that issue unfortunately.

Yeah, you shouldn't need to. Though I do have a node in davinci to set color space to Rec709 to be absolutely sure (I don't think it does anything but for my own peace of mind lol)

@@raymond_phan got you! Thanks

Damn! 1 year on the dot! Life has been pretty crazy this past year. Working part-time now, building better relationships with friends, and just living life. Unfortunately, YT videos fell off my plate and into the back burner, but I won't be gone forever haha. Thanks for checking in <3

yw, glad it helped!

oh man haha I guess it's been a while- life is good, a lot of change, but figuring things out 1 thing at a time. Rest assured I am working on a video to be released in the next few weeks. Thanks for ur comment, I appreciate u sticking around!

@@raymond_phan that's awesome to hear!

I set detail level to -7 (lowest setting) because I didn't want any artificial sharpening to my image. But test it out for yourself to see what you like in your image! :))

@@raymond_phan Thanks! I have this problem and even after using this technique it still isn't solved. If I shoot a video portrait of myself with proper lighting, my beard has this green tint all around it, also my hair a bit and my eyebrows. I can't seem to fix it, do you experience the same? My white balance, etc. are correct

@@wes.333 hmmm not sure what the problem is then, if you’re using this method with the A7iii. If you’re exposing properly, like not cranking ISO, there shouldn’t be any major color shifts. But then again, I don’t know all too much- either way, I hope you are able to figure it out!

@@raymond_phan Yeah I must be doing something wrong. I'm gonna reset my camera and setup everything from scratch again. Thanks so much for the help anyways!

I don't personally use LUTs, but yes in theory, after correcting contrast/exposure, you should be able to add a rec709 LUT to the footage as long as the LUT isn't a conversion LUT

Here I am using Slog2 not Slog3, and with this method of using ITU709 Matrix, you DO NOT use LUTs with it at all. In editing, you just adjust exposure to get the right contrast. The reason your image is too saturated is because ITU709 Matrix already has rec709 color baked into the footage, so applying an Slog LUT will just double on the color. So, IF you want to use the ITU709 matrix, you do NOT use any LUT. Hope that is clear :))

@@raymond_phan Thank you so much for clarifying this 🥹🥹🥹💓💓💓💓💓💓

if using s-gamut, the conversion lut I used for s-log2 was downloaded from the official Sony website (just google it) BUT if using the ITU709 Matrix method, like I decided to do, you don’t need a conversion lut, you just tweak your exposure and contrast since it is already in rec709 color

thank you, I just realised that best way to color grade and interpretate footage is making it in DaVinci. So much diference@@raymond_phan

yeah, i also since this video am using davinci for color grading (and editing)@@soul8305

thanks u sir i also be researching it since two days ,thanks for your grateful information.@@raymond_phan

If you want to be more precise and accurate every time, you can use CST node in Resolve. Use input gamma Slog2 and output gamma 2.4

u should! it's very fun :))

@@raymond_phan Yeah I wanna try doing it with some of my photos

agreed, trust the process!

appreciate it! thanks for subbing

haha thank u! yes, no more gatekeeping 😤even the shitty ideas

aw thank you!

yeehaw pardner

damn, well if your previous workflow with S-log2 + S-Gamut was working well with your fave luts, why change your process?

@@raymond_phan It's down to Caleb Pike (I did his training) and now your video above, which suggests that the Sony S-GAMUT for these cameras introduces colour shifts and artefacts. ITU709 Matrix looked like a good solution, but only if I don't use a LUT. Perhaps my logic is faulty? Nice meeting another Raymond 😁. Best wishes, Raymond

@@earlgreybeard yeah, no correction/transform LUT while using ITU709. You can use creative LUTs as long as they arent transforming like you were saying previously. Personally, I do not use any LUTs, I manually grade all my stuff

In Davinci you may add a node before your Phantom LUT with "Output Color Space: Sony S-Gamut". So Phantom LUT gets what it expects.

​@rorifree I'm new to colorgrading so I'm sorry if this question is silly. But does this mean that you can always change the colorspace in post? Because if you record in itu709 matrix and are able to change it to s-gamut you're basically changing the color space? Are there any cons to this?

thank u!

thx homie

sickkkk

@@raymond_phan ur sickkkk 🤧

Glad you liked seeing the process! Haha let's climb again soon ;))

thank u!

thank you! yeah, you expect more design/art content soon and I'm glad you enjoyed this video :))

thank you! your stuff is nice too, cozy aesthetic vibes!

LOL idk but bless the RUclips gods i guess, hope u stick around for more of my creative antics

Congratsss on your graduationg🎉

stick in there! u got this!

thank u :))

aw thanks!

haha i mean some people don't even need college! also yea student loans suckkkk

thank you!

hahaha, i think its alright to be scared- as long as you can channel/redirect that energy into motivation, you can do great things!

appreciate your kind words! im so glad i could give some insight- i definitely am still young and don't know too much, but it's always nice to know ur not alone :))
