@KonaVisualzz oh great, thanks for the info! I thought it was studio only when I got my license last year, maybe not. Either way that is definitely good to know, and makes free resolve such an insane tool!
@cantgetright46 at 2.25 i talk about input color space. For sony, choose rec 709 or sony s gamut for color space, then sony s log3 g for the gamma. Exit node should match what I've shone, but tone mapping on or off depending on the footage.
At the end of the video you said that for C-log3 (and other log footage) it would be better to change the tone mapping to none, which i did in the CST Out-node but it turned my otherwise correct looking footage into highly overexposed mess. Using the luminance mapping with custom max input looked fine to me. Any ideas why this could be and is it something I´m doing wrong?
Tone mapping may be better for you camera, what did you shoot with? With no tone mapping, try turning the highlights knob to -100, ( as far as it will go) and see how much more detail you have in the highlights vs tone mapping. This is the highlights knob in primaries, not log highlights nor gain. Also, mess with tone mapping level to find what looks best, most people max it out which is not always best, but usually works ok. With b raw footage tone mapping looks great - with clog3 sometimes tone mapping is ok but often sacrifices a ton of highlight detail. It really depends on the clip, too - bight clips may need tone mapping while darker shots might not.
this is great info, check out the color management in the project settings! Your first two nodes would not be needed.
Thanks! I prefer manging with nodes vs the project settings to have more control.
thanks from France, i am new to color grading and i find this work of yours more helping
@jean.kirwaweber thanks for the comment. It's awesome that you are color grading!
Nice video! I want to make one correction. The Color Space transform is included with the free version.

How would I use the with S-Log3 just so I can be clear on this setup.
Choose s log 3 in the first node as your input color space. Feel free to clarify so I can answer better.
How would I set up my ln node and out node since I shoot in slog3. Your videos are real helpful. I m new to Davinci and color grades

@@Jeff_Lathrop Thanks for the anwser, I shot it with Canon R8
@EvylBeats i have a cannon r8, too. Its a great cam! Try the highlight adjustment, the one on the primaries that goes to -100, and see how it works.
much better audio!
Thanks!
