This video is for FCPX - How to Color Correct and Colour Grade with NO Conversion LUTS or PLUGINGs. I also made this workflow for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, you can find those here:
►Premiere Pro: • Color Correct LOG Like...
►DaVinci Resolve: • Color Correct LOG Like...
Color correcting Canon EOS R & C200 C-Log or Sony A7 S-Log footage in FCPX cameras is actually much easier than you think. And with a tiny bit of knowledge you will be able to go from this… to this in about 1 min. Today I will show you how without any special plugins or LUTs.
When I do use a plugin for color correcting it's this one:
FCPX Color Grading Plugin: bit.ly/RafaelColorFinale
This technique I am using in this video will work in any editor that has color correction controls.
In this video we will talk about:
• How to set the exposure and contrast properly for Log Footage
• how to easily white balance with and without a color chart using the waveform.
• How to correct skin tone issues using the vector scope.
• How to check to make sure the skin tone is set to between 40 and 70 IRE and exposed properly.
• How to save the preset to use on all your footage.
• And how you will never have to ask for help again once you practice these steps
Full disclosure, I am not a colorist, for most of my client work I will gladly hire pros to be as precise as possible to grade the footage. However for smaller projects and my own personal work, I learned the steps required to quickly get from Log footage to a base grade without using LUTs or expensive plugins. I am still learning and tweaking as I go, but that's the nature of the creative field, it's always changing and improving.
So this isn't the be all and end all to color correcting C-Log (or any log footage for that matter), there are many ways to do the same thing. But it's a method I have found works really well to rough in a base grade and add some personality to it after.

One of the best Color Grading for Final Cut that I have seen recently.
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
This video showcases the best FCPX color correction I’ve ever seen. I love the flow of the explanations about what is going on in LOG and Rec.709, all the way through the tutorial of the working steps. Thank you!
Wow, thanks! And thanks for watching and the comment!
Huge thanks!
This was so easy to follow, very logical, and the repetition really helped drive home the concepts. Many thanks, mate!
The Best video for Final cut Coloring as of 2024. 🎬🎬🎬👏👏👏
Dude, thank you for the nice comment!
Thanks for watching!
I've been using FCP X for YEARS and didn't know most of this - super helpful and easy to follow, thank you!
Ok, this was perfect timing. And thank you for that awesome and understandable definition of Rec 709 in the beginning and why we use LOG. I use FCPX and I shoot in Canon Clog2, and found this very helpful. As I continued to watch, I was got excited because Imlearning something new, and I looking forward to trying everything you are teaching.
Thank you so much for breaking it down like this. I finally fully understand the concept behind Rec 709 and LUT. Bravo!
Omg! I love the simplicity of your explanations. Your workflow is clear and simple. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks for watching and the nice comment! That is how I am planning my final cut course!
OHHHHHH. YAAAAAAAAAAA,
I learned more in that 17 mins than I ever have in the last 3 years. Thanks a mill Rafael, your a legend. Keep up the awesome work
Glad to hear it! It's not as scary as it first sounds, and soooo much easier than it should be! Thanks as always for the comments D!
This is the best video explaining the myth of LOG I've seen after watching so many videos. Rafael this is great work, well done you :)
Wow, thanks for the compliment!
Excellent, thank you.
Thanks for watching and the comment!!
I am new to editing and was a little confused with color correction/grading. This video clarified many areas and gave me some great understanding to press forward. Thanks for the great video!
You can't imagine how much your video helped me. And also I can't understand how is that possible your video didn't hit 500k views already. Great job and examples. I will definitely use your tips. Thank you.
Great walk through - I'm seeing why your videos always look so stellar!
Thanks so much Wes!
Dude, amazing! You made it look so simple. I’ve been fiddling around for quite some time. I wonder why your video didn’t show up in my searches before. Too much not-so-good content on RUclips. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the compliment! These videos are gaining traction slowly and YT is a Journey not a race so I have time ;)
This was the most approachable explanation of color correcting I’ve seen. Thank you for making this. I just tried it and my footage looks great already. You’re awesome
Wow! Thank you for the nice comment and for watching!
This is by far the best color correcting tutorial I have ever watched!
So kind of you! Thanks for watching and the comment Michael!
Rafael, This is the absolute best color correction for FCPX video I have ever seen! This was a God Send. Finally got my EOS R and wanted to take full advantage of the C-LOG, THANK YOU!
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely superb video 👏🏼
Damn, clear and concise and no need for the extras. An excellent place to start. Thanks. I have not been shooting log but I will use the techniques for what I have and I'll start shooting in log.
many thanks, your descriptions are super clear and very helpful. Greetings from Poland :)
This is an example of why the quality of content and the actual number of views can be inversely proportional. Very helpful! Going to go try this workflow right now. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that! Thank you for the compliment and the comment Dave!
Thanks Rafael, straight to the point, this has been so useful C LOG with my R5
Thanks for watching and the compliment Chris!
This video was great to begin with and then you threw in that recap. So helpful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the compliment and the comment!
I watched many videos on color grading and correcting
This is the only one that made sense to Jr
Bravo
Excellent video. Thank you for making this. Great job by showing multiple cases, this really helped in understanding each step better.
Wow. I’ve seen lots of videos about this. Either too technical or trying to sell LUTS. This is by far the most useful I’ve found so far. Thank you! You have a new sub 😊
This is exactly why I made this tutorial! Thanks for watching and the nice comment Atreyu!
The better guide I found frome dozens of in the web so, many thanks Rafa!
Thanks for the compliment and the comment Dani!

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment!
This video has helped me soooooo much!! Thank you good sir!!
A really pedagogic, smart, quick grading clog video. I suscribe!
Thank you for the compliment and the comment!
Ok, excellent information. As a stills photographer I was used to programs that would create a profile from the color card. This is very helpful. Getting the number right on the histograms is important, but it is critical to have a calibrated monitor for those subtle changes you mentioned. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much for this. It's crazy how well you explained it. I've tried to learn about this before and just had a hard time following along. But you made it so simple that I was finally able to learn how to properly do this. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and the nice comment!

I'm shocked 10 people disliked your video, this video is beautiful, well edited, useful, clear, to the point, and taught me things I didn't know was possible. Thanks a million times. Thanks for also providing us with the actual practical information you said you would and not having a click bait video. I'm definitely watching this video again and some of your others.
Wow, thank you for watching and the compliment! I am editing my follow up to this video for advanced colorgrading in FCP (Without plugins and with colorfinale). It should be out tomorrow.

Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thanks a bunch! This is great from a fellow FCPX user.
Thank you! It was very usefull and really helped me in editing my videos. I used to work with the greenscreen but now I moved to the studio, so i had to adjust all the settings. I watched a lot of tutorials, but somehow your video had the best "what where why" ansvers to my questions. Great job!
Very useful Tutorial. Well done! Thank you.
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thank you so much Rafael, I've been creating videos on youtube for 3.5 years and now only starting to explore better quality footage. I use FCPX so this is extremely useful. Thanks a lot, dude!!! Subbed and gonna check out more. Stay saucy!
Wow! Thank you for watching and the super nice comment Darren!
Bro you are straight to the point and I love it. Thanks! I learned alot.
Thank you for the compliment and the comment Greg!
Thanks for this video; very helpful 🙌
Glad it was helpful Hector! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Clearest, information-richest guide I've seen yet to normalizing log footage. It's the Baby Bear version: not simple to the point of crudeness, and not complex to the point of wha? The use of scopes in particular suggests to me this is simplest approach a pro would take. Much appreciated, liked and subbed.
amazing video!!
Practical clean and clear. Thx!
Thanks again Henrik for watching and the comment!
a lot of information and tips in this "not too long" video, awesome. Thanks.
Rafael, I recently started a weekly coking channel and it was great to find your video, only 4 episodes in. I am shooting Log on my new EOS R and you helped me a ton on an issue that is very subjective and difficult to explain, for the most part. Great job! Thanks!
Thank you Gus! Make sure you also check out the video how to expose C-Log footage on the EOS R ruclips.net/video/pM_q66KVNaU/видео.html - these two videos go hand in hand!
Also, I shouldn't have checked out your channel while hungry!!!! 😁 I can smell the food, it looks so tasty! Beautiful kitchen!
Thanks for the comment Gus!
Hey thanks for making this video I really learned a lot I’ve been struggling so much with log footage and I recently discussed with Sony the loss of detail and sharpness shooting in a log 3 and they told me it shouldn’t be any loss in sharpness of detail so thank you for confirming I’m not crazy
Great video! Thanks
Amazing, thanks so much Rafa
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment and the nice comment William!
Man!! This is the best video about this subject Ive seen!!! For 3 years I have been learning FCX and this just changed my game. You deserve the Million Subs. Thanks
Wow! Thank you for the compliment! Glad you found value in the video, that means a lot! I plan on earning those subs! Thank you for the comment, you made my day!
@@RafaelLudwig you will get more subs I'm due time. Perhaps slow down your pace a but for beginners? Just my w cents. I will apply your tips in my next video and share here. Hope that's OK
@@MR-AK Yeah for sure, I know I edit the tutorials a bit aggressively. Definitely will try to pace the edit more in future videos! Thanks for the feedback!
@@RafaelLudwig i have a Wealth building channel and I'm starting to take my videos to new level. I also get feedback that I move too quick on real estate videos. You see doing great.
Stunning. Great tutorial, thank you!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the compliment and the comment!
@@RafaelLudwig what can I do when I don‘t have a color chart? Can I e.g. use white and black points in my footage as a work around?
Awesome video Rafael! I was struggling with color correction and grading and you really helped clear it up. Thanks!
That’s great to hear! When you are ready, Make sure you check out the part 2 to this video, advanced color grading, it builds on this video ruclips.net/video/VDYmwNiHO_k/видео.html
