Hey everyone! Today, I added some more LUTs. Therefore, the list shown in the video is not accurate anymore. For further information, please check the link in the description. :) Here is what's new as of today (2024-08-03): - all missing LUTs for Canon, so everything is covered now - added Olympus Flat and OM-Log 400 - added F-Log 2 - added Sony HLG
@@halimrahman @djepodjepo I'll add D-Log M as soon as I can recreate the transformation. :) I have to work off the white paper since there are no other resources around. I think I'll get it done within the next two weeks. :)
Hey you two! I‘m working on an update. If you have any D-Log M footage I can use for testing (I will not publish or use this footage other than for testing) I can finalise the LUTs. Thank you! :) Please email me: info@ericlenz.photography
I've been following your channel since the beginning pretty much and I use your lightroom controls plugin for the past couple of months and it has been a game changer for my workflow. Now I'm looking to improve my talking head videos and I love the warm tones in your videos. I'd love to see if I could replicate this look but I'm not sure where to start equipment? luts? plugins? This would make for an interesting topic for a video.
Great to hear! Thank you very much! The warmth comes mostly through my lighting setup. Lighting makes a tremendous difference and this is, in my opinion, the best skill you can learn. Additionally, the warm look in my videos is caused by a 2383 print film emulation and halation. Both warm up the highlights considerably. But if you're new to it, I'd say don't bother with film emulation for now. This is quite a thing to get into. Learn the basics first. :) TL;DR: Learn Lighting & a solid foundation of colour grading and you're good to go. :)
Great info as usual!! Thanks! It would be interesting if you can do a hands-on HDR-PQ (BT2100 or BT 2020) color grade, in the future. There is not so much info in the "market" especially for final cut pro.
Thank you! I'll do that once I upgrade my monitor setup. :) I haven't done too much HDR delivery since I only have my MacBook display as a reference. But yes, I'll do that! :)
You do such and excellent job explaining. Glad I found your channel. While this all makes sense in FCP, I’m trying to figure out how to use this technique in FCP for the iPad. I do realize that at this point additional luts cannot be added to FCP iPad at this point. The iPad version allows the Apple Log LUt and several others to be added upon import or removed. I cannot find anyway of insuring that the LUT is below the Color Adjustment Effect. Do you have any experience with the iPad version?
I’m sorry but this is not possible in the iPad version. Support for LUTs isn’t there yet and the effects are rather limited. However, it is a fairly new application in the grand scheme of things and I have heard talks about plugins coming to the iPad version. I can imagine LUT support will come for the iPad sooner or later, but as it is right not, there is no way you can get that right on the iPad.
@@iamericlenz Thank you so much for your quick reply. I figured that was the answer, but wanted to hear from someone more knowledgeable such as yourself!
Hey! These are great thanks so much! I have a question, I use CinemaGrade for all editing. It appears that the only way for it to work correctly is for it to be below the Custom LUT, is that normal?
I'm not too sure about cinema grade. If you use it for look development, you can put it after the LUT, that isn't too bad. But if you use it for your general colour grading, it should work before the LUT. But maybe it has a built in colour space transformation? I don't know - sorry. Never used it.
Love the hammer metaphor. Do you ever grade ProResRaw clips? I’d love to see a video that describes that workflow in a similar way you describe Slog 3. Thanks Eric 👌
Hi Eric, always been a fan of your plugins. I have a question. I mostly travel and shoot using an iphone + blackmagic app on apple log. For some scenarios where I don’t have my laptop with me to color grade, I record with your lut applied in the BM app. Is that even a good idea? Will it make a difference if I choose to color grade those footage later on?
Thank you! Well, if you bake the LUT in, then what you see is what you get and there is nothing to be gained. However, if you're just using the LUT for monitoring and the LUT is not applied to the recording, then you have all the flexibility you can get. Baking LUTs in is not a bad idea for run-and-gun scenarios but you lose any additional information. So make sure your image looks the way you want it to look. :)
Hi Eric, i am an fpv drone pilot using gopro 11 (flat) and 12 (log) for now. Which rec 709 conversion should i use from your Cam2Rec? Thanks a lot for your videos!
Hey mate! Sorry - I replied to your other comment on the 'Correct Settings' video but I needed to do a re-upload. N-Log shows up as Rec.709 in the inspector even though you recorded it in Rec.2020. This is fine, nothing is lost. Leave everything as is. :)
Thank you, Eric! I didn't really get the "Sony LUT" joke because you wiped but didn't change the LUT Title. I had to watch it a few times to try and understand. How did you make these LUTs? Are they made by LUTCalc? ...or Davinci Resolve CST?
Glad it was helpful! Dang, I forgot to change the title. Yes, it switches to the Sony LUT. I made the LUTs using Resolve's CST where possible but I added in a few tweaks to make them work as seamless as possible in FCP. However, I'm now entering the territory of gammas not present in Resolve, like D-Log M or F-Log 2. This means I have to work off the white paper. :)
Thanks. I think this shows that one's general trust in manufacturer luts is misplaced. I wonder why they're so problematic though. You'd think they'd want to show their camera recordings in the best possible way.
Is it the same in Premiere? In the Color panel, there are to types of LUTs, the technical (which appear first) and the creative ones. Shall I never ever apply a technical LUT?
Yes, it's the same in premiere. I don't have it but I just checked in with a friend who edits in premiere. If you apply a LUT in the Lumetri Colour panel, it will be applied first. The way to go is using an adjustment layer that carries the LUT. Then you can make adjustments to the clips underneath. :)
bro can i install external plugins in FCPX free trial , PLZ. answer this as i am unable to do it otherwise the software is working fine on my intel i5 8th gen MacBook Pro
The Custom LUT effect has a built-in tool to map Rec2020 to Rec709. However, the LUT takes care of everything so you can leave it at Rec709 to Rec709. If the input matches the output, it does nothing.

@@iamericlenz would you consider making a DJI D-Log M LUT? I think the file only contains a DLOG-D conversion.
@@djepodjepo I second this motion 🙂 Maybe can also add GoPro Log

Thank you so much. It's amazing how much better your lut is than even the phantom lut.
Your LUTs came at the perfect time for me as a Nikon user!
Thank you! And thank you for your footage! :)
Looks interesting for a base conversion, I use Juan Melara's A7IV among other LUT's he makes and they are hard to beat.
Great you have found something that works for you! Haven't tried them yet but a good-quality LUT goes a long way!

@@iamericlenz Email send thx for helping the gopro community!
For Nikon, do you have to change the input and output settings in the Custom LUT inspector window?

You're welcome 😊
Hiii, u can transform iphone log prores with this transform lut? Thnksssss
Yes, Apple log is included. :)
Question, if I use another outto get a Look, should it be just before the conversion out or after?
If the other LUT requires Rec.709 input, then after the Cam2Rec LUT. If it requires your recording colour space, don't mix the LUTs.
@@iamericlenz perfect!
@@iamericlenz I use lumix s5iix , panasonic onky has one option on your cam2rec Lut, should I use input and output rec709?
Hi! Thank you so much for this,
WOuld it be possible to create a lut for zcam e2 m4 s6 or f6? Thanks in advance
Thank you! I'll add that to my to-do but I haven't looked into this yet. But if I can get it done, I'll do it. :)
@@iamericlenz I appreciate it :)

You're welcome! Yes, manufacturers have a bias, too. And that's totally fine, I'm just not fond of Sony's take on this. :D

The way to go is using an adjustment layer that carries the LUT. Then you can make adjustments to the clips underneath. :)
@@iamericlenz Thanks for the answer
So if I put an adjustment layer ABOVE my timeline with a Lut for for my overall look, that comes first in the signal chain?!?
No, in the timeline, it‘s the other way around. Inspector from top to bottom, timeline from bottom to top. :)
@@iamericlenz Oh cool!
Hello, do you have Rec 2020 HDR lut for Apple Log, I like my video to be HDR instead of SDR
Unfortunately not (yet). Making LUTs for HDR is not trivial.
Colorfinale Pro solves this issue... What do you think?
I‘m sorry, I don‘t use Color Finale but if it has a built-in colour space transformation, than yes. That‘s the goal. :)
@@iamericlenz Good to know, and thank you for the info.
bro can i install external plugins in FCPX free trial , PLZ. answer this as i am unable to do it otherwise the software is working fine on my intel i5 8th gen MacBook Pro
Yes, that works. The trial doesn't have such limitations. :)
why does it say rec709 to rec709 in the custom lut tab? Why not ‘LOG’ to ‘Rec709’?
The Custom LUT effect has a built-in tool to map Rec2020 to Rec709. However, the LUT takes care of everything so you can leave it at Rec709 to Rec709. If the input matches the output, it does nothing.
@@iamericlenz Ok thank you, appreciate your quick reply.
it is work for davinci?
Yes, you can use them in Resolve but Resolve has built-in colour management and built-in colour space transformations so you could use that instead.
