Dji Mavic Pro Professional Polished Cinematic Footage Dlog Test. Before And After
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Highly recommend you to get the Dji Mavic filmic grading LUTs I use at SpectrumGrades...
TIPs: The SpectrumGrades Film Emulation LUTs are the most powerful set of tools designed for the Mavic 1 and 2 series. The looks, unlike most other LUTs, are sophisticated and stylish, which is a major factor for excellent grades. This is because they are designed by post-production and VFX experts.
All you do is apply the look you like and all the advanced grading is done for you with results that are truly excellent.
Just make sure you keep exposure balanced when filming. If you find you are over or underexposed, then just adjust your shot with exposure controls before the LUT is applied. If you like you can tweak the look to your specific liking.
It's worth getting them as they do make an amazing improvement to your footage
I use them on all my videos and you can see the results that you can achieve...
A before and after test example of refined Dji Mavic Pro Professional Polished Cinematic D-Log Footage. D-log profile is the best profile to use for dynamic range purposes, This helps a lot when grading / color correcting, I then denoised, added motion blur, propeller lens shadow cleanup.

What song did you use for this? I've heard it in a hasselblad camera promo before.
I bought the noise profiles. But the mentioned program is a trial. What program can I use for free to use my noise filters? Please help.
You need to buy 69$ Neat Video Plugin
kroaax yeah but its 69 dollars....
I understand. As far as I know, this profile is "neat video" only.
Best Mavic footage I've seen. Period.
drewmorgan thank you 🙏🏻
Agree with @Drewmorgan too. What bitrate do you use for final export to TH-cam?
drewmorgan export to prores 4.2.2 for youtube. It's a big file 👌
drewmorg thanks man and agreed with getting the good shots. In the next day or two I'm uploading something that will blow this video out the water. Will be showcasing what one can truly achieve with the footage
BlueHouseFX wow can't wait!
would you be able to do a tutorial and your post production?
Im actually thinking of that. Any ideas of what you would like to see?
Showing your grading process would be amazing. Pretty much everything you list in the description :) "Graded, denoised, added motion blur, propeller lens shadow cleanup".
Also, were you flying "live" while doing this, or did you set a path with another app? (ie. Litchi) The flying seems perfectly smooth. I struggle with that part greatly.
Mostly the drone initial settings, then the main steps on what you did in post - (Graded, denoised, added motion blur, propeller lens shadow cleanup). Would be sweet. Cheers!
I totally agree - subbed and would love to see a grading/export settings tutorial. Mavic has a pretty flat Dlog and it's hard to get it back to such vibrance - you've done an excellent job mate!
Fahad Qureshi thanks guys. Yes I'll do some tutorials. Have to get over being camera shy 🙈
André Pilli!
I know the song is from Hans Zimmer -Interstellar but if anyone knows this remix please let me know! Much appreciated
SAME PLEASE HELP
Jordan Faretto did you find it ? 😩
I realllllllllly need for a huge project I'm working on...if anyone can help please do! Shazam doesn't know! :/
it is David Molina a thousand years
Michael Wahba YOU...my good sir, ARE A SAINT!!!! Thank you!
Alguém veio pelo card do André Pilli? ✌😄
+Rafael Silva sorry my friend. Can you explain in english? 🙈
Andre pilli is a youtube he did a comparative of drone mavic or phatom 4 pro plus whether it is worth buying or not he mentioned your mavic video that it is possible to make quality with mavic
+zuando mc brinquedo thank you for helping me understand. This is very good news and I haven't heard of Andre before. He has a lot of followers. Wow. I should perhaps chat with him to showcase some more footage. Perhaps I will message him. What do you think?
I think a good idea :D
I would also suggest to check and maybe contact Brandon Li and/or Yuri Palma. Definitively best cut and grading filmmakers I have found on Ytube...Yuri in his Motion videos was even able to include Phantom 2 footage with Red one's!!!
This is fuckin magical!!!!! I need to get this drone now
Peter Marin do it man. Keep in mind the footage generally does need post work. Otherwise it's absolutely fantastic
Quem veio pelo André?
what is this place?
its very easy to spot the differences when the dji's camera was using 'flat mode', which will look kinda grey. The footage is nice, but I believe it could be graded better, as it looks a bit hazy, too much white color
Hey :) Nice video! Why do you decrease saturation and contrast to -3? I've seen people do it but not sure why
How did you add the motion blur back in?
Revision motion blur :)
Where was that shot? I need to go there!
I missed the name of the place. Would you be kind to provide it?
Looks like Malibu
I got the luts. Which profile? A, B C...?? used here.
Did you use motion blur instead of ND Filters to keep the shots looking smooth and not stuttery?
that first scene feels almos like CGI, different planet from Avatar or something. This is the best drobe footage on YT in my opinion. WANT MORE !!!
Los Daniellos B thank you for the kind message. I just saw this now and replied to your other message. Did the tutorial help you? :)
where the heck was that recording at? it looks magnificent!!!
THIS PLACE LOOKS BETTER THAN LOS ANGELES. Where are you?
The Location is Clifton Beach, Cape Town South Africa
Where was this shot? The place is beautiful.
so, this is with the .400 firmware update?
Hello ! Super video ! What is the place ?
What Programm did you use to polish it up?
How did you work with the flickering effect around 1:55?
Where is this place country? Can you please tell me this location:)?
3 guess where you think it could be :)
How did you cleanup the propeller lens shadow? Having big troubles with that.. it's killing my best footage. Thanks!
Neat video plugin buddy, however it isnt a magic bullet and only works sometimes :)
Thankyou, besides magnificent flying skills a very nice production. Where is the???
Nice stuff! Do you expose d-log to the right? Overexpose between 1-2 stops?
Somehow I can not find any information on this online... Coming from Sony and slog-2 I'm just wondering if the workflow with d-log is roughly the same? Thanks!
Usually the best results are at -0.3 on the ev meter. As a general rule, It maintains the most highlight information. Have you tried that?
What editing software are you using? Very cool
KennyLee NYC divinci resolve. Editing can be done on any program and similar grading and treatment can be done in premiere 👍
Hi! In what location was this fantastic video shot?
Some of the best drone footage out there, mavic or other wise.
+The Film Poets thanks buddy. Wanted to email you to chat directly. What's the best way we can chat?
matt at thefilmpoets dot com
+The Film Poets awesome man. Will message you in the morning when I wake up. Chat soon 👌😎
never got that email. just wanted to let you know!
@thefilmpoets you guys are pretty amazing too, so a fantastic compliment @ProCinematicFx 😁
hey your mavic footage is the best I've seen! great job! i subbed to you and I am delighted for upcoming videos!
so you did just film 2.7k? you didn't up- or downscaled or anything like that?
+the_unknown_culprit thank you so much for the grading compliment. I always film in 2.7k. From that point I sometimes upscale with a plugin called "instant hd". This is the best upscaling method which I have found. Although upscaling isn't really necessary from 2.7k. Does this help?
Great stuff. A lot of people are bagging on the Mavic for it's footage quality, but you prove it can be done. Do you have some sort of a blog/vid about your workflow? I'm specifically curious as to how you denoised the footage. I think that's my biggest hangup right now. Edit: Ahhhh in your low light video you're using Neat.... Gotcha. Is Neat worth the price in your opinion?
Cody Olsen that's excellent. Make sure you learn some grading, denoising and editing. From there you are set ;)
Is it worth buying the Mavic Pro bundle or just get the mavic pro? I'm looking to use it for weddings and possibly side gigs (real estate, music videos, short films, etc).
Albert Arriola get the bundle as 2 battery is too little. Especially if you intend to use it for production work. Hope this helps? :)
Would you mind sharing what you might charge a company for footage like this/ about this length? :)
Cali Cutler good question. I really don’t know and haven’t really thought about it. I would have a wild guess and imagine a person in the USA could charge in the region of $1000 to $9000(for a movie) depending on what it’s used for on a commercial level
Like a game! nice!
Superb footage
JC Entertainment thank you 🙏🏻
I know Log settings are different and idk if you're familiar with the S-Logs on Sony cameras and I wanted to know what you think is closest to this Log ? Beautiful footy man.
I would say regardless of trying to match in camera, rather get as much dynamic range from all your cameras so there is flexibility in post to match. So always choose the profile on on cameras that have the most dynamic range :)
Awesome results!! Can i use them with iMovie!?
JAMES FERNANDEZ Hey JAMES, not with iMovie however you can download Davinci 14 free beta version. It's a really brilliant program and used in big film studios. You can use them in there and if you have Final Cut Pro, premiere or most other major editing programs they will work in them too. Does this help? :)
sometimes i just watch this to keep myself from wasting 2000 bucks on the new mavic 3. i hardly use my mavic pro and am yet able to produce colors like this so until then I don't have any business buying a new drone.
If you’re a light hobbyist you don’t need another drone. Yes you can get great images from it. I will say that the Mavic 3 is insane with how good the footage is. I would definitely recommend it if it were someone who likes pushing their footage to its limits
nice video man, looks great. could you give some insight on how and why you appield the blur? more the how
Thank you. Motion blur is a characteristic of film. its a great way to get closer to that filmic look. All high end visual content generally aims for this :)
So what I learn from this video is following: If you get this drone and don't know how to edit videos? You will be stuck with a piece of shit picture. PS: The video is great by the way. Drone's camera is a piece of crap.
Not really my friend. Its actually decent. One just needs to follow a few simple steps to get excellent results. Naturally it could be better and the P4P is way better natively, however just follow the steps and then get awesome results :)
Top quality my friend!! What were the settings in neat video? Have used it normally to reduce noise from dark images but never like this... Cheers
+João Rosa thank you my friend. For the most part every shot is set different as they all have different noice profiles. Neat video also helps with compression blocking to a degree. Let me know if this helps you :)
Incredible, show's if you really put the time and effort you can get some incredible footage, thanks for the post.
+Joseph Kinyoda you are very welcome. Will be posting more stuff soon :)
When I go to your webpage, what exactly am I buying? Is it the LUT for Premiere Pro?
Hey Nathaniel, yes those are LUTs designed for the mavic that work in premiere and most other editing programs. Let me know how it goes and will love to see what you come up with :)
Vim pelo Andre Pilli, imagens tops mesmo.
+Diego Oliveira would love to reply but I only speak english my friend 😎
Amazing post
Was thinking about upgrading my phantom 3 for the Mavic for a while now. This video has convinced me. Best drone footage I've seen on TH-cam! 😍
+All5! That's awesome. Also remember there is a lot of post work being done. Keep that in mind my friend :)
+All5! It's totally amazing. Have fun with yours new Mavic my friend
BlueHouseFX thanks buddy! Already flew it a few times, still can't get over how amazing it is :)
I wonder why cant mavic, gopro and all the rest just shoot this colorgraded video by them self? Why should you work the hell out of the footage in post to make it look nice? Any clues?
cccp69com good question, it's just a matter of cost in my opinion as the more higher end cameras can natively film with amazing images. Also it's probably weight which doesn't allow for big sensors on the small drone
Great video!
How did you make the motion blur effect?
Ah good question, you can use a plugin called re vision motion blur. Just keep it on default settings and it works like a charm. Use that with good grading/lut presets and you are then making epic films
Did you overexposure footage when you take footage by 1 or 2 stops?
Wow, this is awesome! Great video and work with the post production :) How did you add the motion blur?
Its a plugin called revision moton blur
Nice fly and color correction.
Where is this? It's beautiful
the video and color grading is so great! but is that a fps problem? I feel a bit jumpy
Ryan Cheng hope you well. Try view the video on a desktop or change the video playback resolution to 2.7k. Only place where jumpy video may appear is too shot of the rocks which has compression issues due to the Mavics limited compression ratio
ah man footage looks amazing. mavic air doenst have Dlog :(
Fernando Bonenfant you should be able to get as good if not better if you apply set your air to -3 contrast and 0 saturation. You then throw on the SpectrumGrades pack and grade it to your liking. Let me know if you got it working...
omg this footage is so beautiful !!
Thank you for the love :)
Looks super. What plugin did you use to give the clouds the PL effect in post ?
Jetspot Networks used a gradient grade on the sky with Davinci resolve
At 2:12 you got some propeller flare on the unedited file. How do you remove that?!
SwissTec with neat video my friend but it won't always work :)
Thanks! Will give it a try.
SwissTec excellent. I find it works better when the issue is over picture information. For example if you see it in clear skies then it doesn't work, but if ya over detailed areas with trees, rocks, building etc it then works better. Love to see your results. Keep me posted 👌
Going to jump start my channel back up. Been a while I haven't uploaded :)
SwissTec yes definitely do 👌😎 let me know when you upload
where did you find the song? seems like an interstellar remix.
Nice job
Excellent flying and cinematography. Spectacular location and scenery. You just picked up another subscriber. Please share more details on your Mavic, gimbal and camera settings.
Thank you. Everything is in the description, but if there is any other info then let me know so I can help :)
BlueHouseFX thanks. I'll switch back to the Dlog profile and try it with +1/-3/-3. Did you use any LUTs?
Mike Nowacki yes make sure you use a denoise plugin to in conjunction with the +1 sharpness it's very important this workflow to get the results
Mike Nowacki also I would rather recommend 0 for saturation. So your settings should be +1/-3/0
Many thanks. I'll give that a try this weekend. I can't stop watching this clip; it's absolutely outstanding. I'm looking forward to seeing what you post next.
Really great work. Are you using any ND filters on the lens?
Can someone please tell me where this place is. Want to go there for a holiday.
South Africa
this video is cool or whatever but i really just wanna know the song name lol can anyone help me out?
Hey David, the sont is mentioned in one of the comments. I cant recall off hand :)
Incredible footage!
+Kelly Beem hey Kelly, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Missing my homeland so much right now.
Im sure you are. Such a beautiful place right?
Music too epic, Interstellar. :)
+zodiacfml thanks for your awesome comment in the music :)
This effect is in post production ?
It's possible with final cut pro similar effect ?
Tank you ✌🏻️
What effect are you referring to? The grade and image correction is in post
Cinematic effect
Kinda looks like you shot the one on the right first and then made it look shitty on left in post.
Bob Ronin not quite my friend. If you understand the Mavic footage and worked with it you will know that the left is the original footage 👌😎
Loved the video! Sorry for the noob question, why not record in 4K instead of 2.7K? Advantages, or some other reason. I'm shooting in 4K. Also, SpectrumGrades recommends 0 to +1 sharpness, -3 Contrast and 0 saturation. Are your settings applicable to the latest SpectrumGrades LUTs? Thanks.
Hi Bushido, thats a good question and have discussed this matter quite a bit. The reason is that the compression ratio on the 2.7k is better than 4K with the Mavic. There is less compression blocking in 2.7k which allows for better grading. The difference is small however if you want the most out of your footage then film in 2.7k and the mentioned settings in the description. These settings are perfect for the SpectrumGrades presets LUTs. So when you apply the presets luts you just do a few minor adjustments to get the look you like that suites your style. Which packs have you got or getting?
Nice work in post prod. What did u use to grade ?
+Antonin MARCEL thanks 🙏🏻 used Davinci resolve but can still get similar grade with premiere as well
over the compared Video is a greyfilter
Hello Ja, there isnt a grey filter, its actually the water residue on the lens from the ocean that shows up :)
Awesome video! I'm really glad Dlog has been fixed. How did you fix the prop shadow at 2:12? The graded footage doesn't seem to have the issue on the bottom left like the ungraded footage. Great job!
Thanks, I used Neat noise reduction plugin
There is a feature called remove artifacts and use temporal reduction on 5
Wow. This is crazy dude!
What software did you use to grade this video ?
Hey buddy, you can use most software to do this. For sure you can use Davinci and Premiere to get the same effect. Just use a good LUT and then tweak the footage under the LUT(this is important)
Hope this helps :)
I do enjoy the correct shutter speed. Good footage!
and whats the exact name of the plugin? This looks really good :)
Tony LaPron revision:motion blur 👌😎
it seems to be massively improved! great samples!!
Misael David thank you. Yes it's much better
this video is the reason wjy I will buy one
Thank you Felix, now this is when I wish I had an affiliate link :)
Hope you get your drone and please let me know what you think
Do your LUT packages require the Neat plugin, or is that for noise reduction only?
justrbloke they work by themselves with most editing applications. There is a pack that you can get that works with neat video. You can choose. Which packs are you interested in? 😎👍
ProCinematicFX - all of them, for Davinci Resolve.
i love the color grade! would also love to know how you did all that
+cheeze.staxx media thank you. One can achieve a decent grade in both Davinci and premiere. This was done in Davinci
Fantastic color grading! Would love to get a tutorial with your process!!
Hopefully soon my friend :)
ProCinematicFX Nice!! ;)
Fantastic footage truly amazing!!! 1 things i would like to know were was this filmed? and can these luts be applied to filmora?
Robert Hutchinson Hey Robert, thanks for the amazing feedback and compliment. If you have filmora the preset Luts are fully compatible with the software. They also compatible with many other editing software should you decide to use another program at a later stage. Which packs are you interested in?
Very nice. Glad D-log is finally fixed! It's been broken on the phantom and then mavic for almost a year. Did you add motion blur in post due to running high shutter rate, sharpness at +1, or some other reason?
What motion blur setting do you like to use in resolve?
yes motion blur in post with revision motion blur plugin. Its excellent. just change one parameter blur amount to 0.6 to 0.8
Whichever suites your taste
Hey, nice Video!
Could you tell me the trick to clean up the shadow of the propellers, please?
Neat video denoiser. Has a remove artifacts feature and it must be on temporal reduction. It wont remove completely but definitely helped a lot here. Rather just get a nd16/pl filter and you wont have that problem. Keep in mind that filer is for normal daylight and not lo light filming
Think you could do a Neat Video tutorial?
I would never, EVER fly my drone around that many fucking birds...
Those birds are half asleep. I think they think its one of them :)
I don't usually comment but this is beautiful work you just got a subscriber!
+Charles Butler thank you Charles. Have you got a Mavic? If you do you can get a lot of tips from the comments here :)
+Charles Butler thank you Charles. Much appreciated 👌😎
How yo capture both modes at the same time?
+Phong HO the footage in the left is the original and on the right is just placed there to show after the footage has been treated
Can you make a tutorial, how to make this color grade? Is the best footage!!
+Jotavê absolutely will. I just have to find the time to do so. Started to do a video but I got camera shy 🙈
Can i make this color grade on sony vegas pro??
why 2.7k? did you find this settings better then 4k 25? and 25 vs 30?
is this. a matter of you choice or you tested it to be the best looking settings ? thanks
Hey Gilad, I believe many people choose 2.7k due to bit rate recording. 4k is restricted to a lower bit rate, so the imagery may not be as retained in this sense.
up
I recall the 2.7k being 40mbit and the 4k being 60mbit, so what exactly do you refer to ?
2.7k is my suggested resolution. I have compared 2.7k detail to 4k and the 2.7k actually has more detail than the 4k
BlueHouseFX I am sticking with 4k, 4k uses the whole sensore...
This cant be real. OMG
It is my friend, it is :)
Inspirational footage, however I'm a bit surprised you don't seem to mind the very obvious banding in the sky (common issue with D-log, have run into it myself after just a single try with it and for that reason alone will never be using it again for anything with blue sky). It's even visible in the ungraded footage, but perhaps I'm particularly sensitive to it ;)
Michael DK yeah I agree banding can sometimes be an issue although I don't think it's restricted to Dlog only. Sometimes skies a clear of banding depending on the shot. For the most part one can fix it in post if need be. For this example I didn't feel it was enough to go into deep compositing and grading. TH-cam compression also enhances banding. If you take a look at the morning city video I posted there is no banding with Dlog(maybe slightly due to TH-cam compression but the original is virtually 100%)
that's interesting, i didn't even notice it, i guess when the rest of the footage is so perfectly graded banding becomes super subtle
+Fahad Qureshi yeah the banding is there but it's relatively unnoticeable. Some grades can really enhance or reduce banding
Did you used only Davinci Resolve for movie or only for color grading and for rest another software (FCPX / ADOBE PREMIERE)?
You can edit in premiere and also in davinci resolve. it really doesnt matter which editing prog you use as the edit cuts result will be the same. The grading in Davinci. Hope this helps :)
You are right. I can make cuts in any software, but grading is More dificult to do it right.
Davinci is actually really easy however its a mindset which is the hurdle people have to jump over. Great grading results can be done in premiere and final cut that I would be happy with. Naturally there is more control in Davinci but if you are on your preferred software, they all have decent grading capabilities to get you started. Premieres grading is really good for a none specialized grading system. Whats your prefered software?
I'm a fan of FCPX (simplicity, speed), but color grading in FCPX is to simple (or my skills are to low), so i'm considering Davinci as a grading/finishing tool. Do you thing that i should try to do that in AP?
how?
Hi, just checking I assumed you used the Dlog setting so you could edit the video on desktop to make the video Cinematic. But does the ND or the Polarise filter make the video cinematic even before doing any editing?
my 2nd question is, can i use the ND and Dlog setting at the same time and enhanced it using dekstop video editor?
Hello Stanry, hope you doing great. Yes D-Log is best to use for filming and post work. As for using filters... they dont make your films cinematic, however they add some characteristics to your footage such as motion blur. The polarizers do help with dynamic range by pulling the sky and reflections down a bit(theres more to them than just this). Where the biggest affect on getting the cinematic look happens is in post production with color grading. If you didnt have filters the cinematic look is achieved through good use of color. This cannot be achieved by filters alone. If you have filters then definitely use them when suitable. So yes, focus on color as a main priority to get the filmic look :)
Thanks for the prompt reply. I was confused initially. Now i got the answer from you. I can use the lens filter and then edit using software to make the video better.
Stanry Tan that is correct my friend :)
great video..
+Leo's Praxisteil thank you Leo. Appreciate the comment :)
damn... looks amazing! Thanks for sharing
Rosa Park thank you, it was great fun grading the footage. I must commend the filming from the person who donated all the footage 🙏🏻
What was the song?
Fucking awesome images
+Erick&PedroTv TM thanks for the amazing feedback 👌😎
I was surprised how calm those birds were @1:31 as you flew straight over them! I wouldnt have had the balls to trust them not to fly up into the drone :D
Thomas Izko from what I have heard from a few people that those birds actually are tame around drones. Who would have thought 😁
ProCinematicFX haha! Well you sure "winged" it then I suppose 😉👍🏼
Yes for sure :)
Que malo es ser pobre, menudo paisaje, vaya grabación perfect.
+Miralo en TH-cam I unfortunately don't understand my friend 🙈
Thanks, I only speak Spanish.
