Wow, that's an amazing tutorial for flog. I tried a few others on youtube and this is by far the best I've seen, excellent help in understanding they whys of your choices, and am a newbie so the Powergrade was an excellent bonus I'll definitely be using. Greatly appreciated!
I too have watched tons of this stuff trying to get a handle on davinci...this by far is the most simplistic and easy way of doing this. Well done Eric
amazing setup for grading flog footage. I really struggled grading after applying the lut and always was wondering why I just couldn't grade correctly. thanks
Hey man, im nicolas from brazil, i tried to find some videos about this content and was realkly hard to find it, I had to watch youer video a few time to understand in fact, also because english is my second languag, and theres no videos in portuguese about that. So thak u very much, it was really usefull and clear the reason why you do that way. thanks.
In your two-node Color Space Transform workflow (F-Log → DaVinci Wide Gamut → Rec.709), where should I apply a creative LUT that’s designed for Rec.709 without messing up the colors? Should I place it after the second CST node (once I’m in Rec.709), and still do all my grading between those two CST nodes?
Super vidéo, thank you so much. Though I’m very curious about your camara settings, my rushs in FLog2 don’t look the same at all, seems like there are way less colors 😢
Great video, Eric, just to clarify: I can use LUTs that are from Rec.709 to whatever look it is with this powergrade, right? Since the output is 709. Or am i wrong. Again, great video and very good explenation!!
Definitely. Is there a way to then use the powergrade in Fusion? Ignore if it's a lot of work to explain, you've helped and now I'm just asking for more! @@EricNelsonYT
How do you import the footage? Trying to import my footage from my X100VI into resolve (new user with it) but It wont display the footage, just the audio. 10bit H265 etc in *.mov container.
Thank you so much for this information. I was searching a lot for this. but can I ask you something... I have the fujifilm xt3 and the Atomos Ninja V. I set HLG HDMI output on the camera and record in to the Ninja V on Prores. The file recorded in the Ninja V is in F-LOG or other Ninja V profile ? Because I don't know if can I do what you explain in this video for this record setup. Thanks!!
If your HDMI out to the Ninja V is set to HLG then I believe the recorded footage would be in the HLG profile. However, I do not use an external recorder so I cannot verify for you.
Color grading noob here, maybe someone can help: How do I do this for F-Log2, does "F-Log" stay the same as input gamma? Why not use the conversion lut by Fujifilm? Because there is not bigger colorspace inbetween, or are there other reasons as well?
Note to others who came across this issue: Sinev Davinci Resolve 19, finally Flog2 is supported. Otherwise ArriLogC3 was almost the same gamma, so that could be used as well.
I graded fuji xs10 f-log and everything was good but after playing the export on my phone the color shifts, it gets extremely saturated ..tiktok is fine, but for Instagram and my phone media player the problem happens ..any suggestions?
How can that be? When I shoot in flog with rec2020 then all recorded colors are in this rec 2020 space. The are no colors recorded outside this color space. So wenn I convert it into wide gamut why should there appear more colors if they are not recorded?
nice. i already threw my fuji in the trash because the footage looked like it was filmed on a potato next to my sony footage. now the fuji footage looks better 😂
This should work for any log format so long as you pick the correct input color space & gamut input on your 1st CST node. I just checked & it appears that F-Log2 has a Rec2020 Color Space... However Davinci Resolve 18.5 does have the F-Log2 Input Gamma yet & I am not sure what the correct workaround would be. Some people say ARRI C is a useable Gamma, but I cannot teat that myself as I do not have a camera with F-Log2 at the moment
Just testing this workflow for fLog2, it looks amazing! better then any other method I've tried for fLog2 colour management in Resolve. Thank you! @@EricNelsonYT
Hey Eric, that was a very clear explanation. I got the Xh2s recently and shot some videos in Flog2 but when I import them in DaVinci, I only see audio with no video display. Do you what I should be doing here? Thanks in advance. Btw I'm on v18.6.4.
@@EricNelsonYT Appreciate your response Eric. I converted the .mov file to .mav on HandBrake and the 3GB file was now 11GB🥲. I see the video feed now in DaVinci.
I have watched 10 different videos on the “right” way to grade ffLog footage. This is the only one that makes proper sense.
I appreciate that

The best and simplest explanation of this I've found. Thank you!
This is brilliant! I never understood how to use the cst properly and just used fuji's conversion lut. Thanks so much
This is an amazing tutorial, that will save you A LOT OF TIME! Invest in watching it, saving it and following it! Thank you!
This is incredibly useful info and has helped my footage look delicious. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
Thanks a lot for this. It's clear and precise.

Oh, thank you, that looks very helpful!
A biiiiiggg thanks from India...

This is really helpful, thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
cheers man !!!
really good work !
Thank you for this valuable information. Could you please guide me with cst inputs for fuji HLG?
Do you have a similar video for S-log 3? Great video
Very good tutorial, really helpful. Thank you
This is really great !
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Super vidéo, thank you so much. Though I’m very curious about your camara settings, my rushs in FLog2 don’t look the same at all, seems like there are way less colors 😢
Excellent work flow Thank's a lot
You're welcome!
Thank you very much!
Help me a lot..
Thanks a lot
God tier. Thank you

What is the advantage of this method as opposed to just dropping a fuji F-Log to eterna lut etc?
Thank you so much for the video is helpful, what should I do if I would like to apply the Eterna lut to the videos?
Honestly I don't use LUTs, so I don't have any helpful advice for you when using the Eterna LUT.
Brilliant, really useful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Question, can you skip the last conversion to rec709 if you have dehancer?

So, no need to use the XT-3 LUTS?

When I swap the colour science to YRGB Color Managed, my footage looks completely different, why is that?
I graded fuji xs10 f-log and everything was good but after playing the export on my phone the color shifts, it gets extremely saturated ..tiktok is fine, but for Instagram and my phone media player the problem happens ..any suggestions?
When I drop my powergrade onto my node, it mixes them up and adds many other nodes ist this normal? Can someone help me out?
Thank you sir!

Thanks in advance. Btw I'm on v18.6.4.
I have never had an issue like that.
Are you on the Studio or Free version?
@@EricNelsonYT I’m on the Free version.
Studio is required to edit 10bit files. That may be the issue, but I can't verify for certain.
@@EricNelsonYT Appreciate your response Eric.
I converted the .mov file to .mav on HandBrake and the 3GB file was now 11GB🥲. I see the video feed now in DaVinci.
@@haroonm.2973 I maybe had the same problem. I had to buy the HEVC codec extension from the Microsoft store for a dollar to edit my H265 files.
why is this the only tutorial on this topic that seems to work?? :D
super helpful, thanks!!
