How I Color Grade My Drone Footage | FCPX

In this FCPX tutorial, I'll walk you through how I color grade my DJI Mavic 2 Pro Drone Footage. You'll see how I take my D-log footage to a realistic image.
Key Takeaways:
Expose properly for D-log(.3 to .7 overexposed)
Apply conversion lut
Up the saturation
Drop those mid-tones
Use color masks
REMEMBER A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY

Great video!

[@JaredSpink]

Thanks dude

[@Andre-Mostert]

This is awesome thank you, can I also apply this LUT to my Mini 3 Pro? I see there is a Mini 4 Pro LUT but not a Mini 3 Pro. What do you think? Cheers

[@GuilDormeus]

5:32 I’m definitely going to try this out

[@JaredSpink]

Glad it was helpful

[@treysals]

Will that LUT work well with air 2s? I didn’t see one specifically for the air 2s

[@zeyusmedia]

Why do you shoot D-log and not HLG?

[@ALR760.]

You are a genius! #ALR

[@JaredSpink]

Thanks

[@francisfonte]

is stilll needed to drag the look grade or just put another custom lut?

[@octavianvisterniceanu4620]

00:27 Isn't the Mavic 2 Pro shooting only in D-log-M ? D-log is more flat as I know
