great video dude, I've watched like six of these today and you are by far the most no nonsense/let's just get to what, why, and how - very much appreciated
this is the most helpful video ever seen and ever watched ... bro you are the first person who simplified working with SLOG other videos they are treating everyone like PRO !! thank you so much
2024 reporting.. this free lut Timmy has is the ONLY one that actually works without having to tweak the crap out of it. It's a TRUE conversion LUT not an overly edited type like the other 50 I download that aint even working at all. This is PERFECT for us 8bit users. Sony A7Rii user here yes I know wrong camera for video but it's all I have until I can get a wide angle for real estate for my D7100
Hey Tommy, this video got suggested to me by TH-cam. Man you are so underrated. You make more awesome videos than I do, you deserve more subs man. Cant wait to see what else you come up with!
Thanks a lot. I have been looking into shooting SLog2 and all the explainations seemed so complex. You broke it down perfectly and the adjustment layer setup will definitely change my editing work flow. Awesome tips.
My first time using Slog, after 10 years of resisting to it. The results are great and your videos are very helpfull, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge. Next step - stop avoiding Davinci :P
Nice video. I subbed because you provided your custom LUT which worked a lot better than these other ones out there. Provides a great starting point, thanks man!
Hey timmy! wow! this was a very well made video! Plus the way you explained things, made it super easy for someone like me who's really clueless about slog2! much appreciated!
I’ve actually never seen anyone color correct quite like this before. Your end result is flawless! Yet you don’t follow standard color correction steps which is really interesting I think. Typically everyone I know (including myself) drops the blacks until they’re just above 0 and get the whites just below 100. You had your white well below 100 ire but the image is so beautiful. I guess that just goes to show you don’t always have to do things by the book.
fuck me man this just saved me a headache ive been having for a while now with weird noise, i was exposing perfectly and everything and your lut fixed it! goddamn life saver
Really great video! As a beginner, these tips are SUPER helpful. I did have one question in regards to using ISO. Is it better to crank up the ISO if there isn't enough light in your footage? In your video at 2:01 you mentioned you could have made another video about this. Thanks again for all the knowledge you've provided.
It's always a fine balance. If you don't have enough light, I highly suggest cranking the ISO to compensate. But there's a limit to how high you can go before you end up with a noisy image. So try to judge each location as best as you can.
Thanks a lot for creating and sharing! Planning to use SLOG2 just as per your input but I am a little concerned about my ISO. If I must overexpose by 1.7-2.0 stops, will I have to keep my ISO at a fixed value and always readjust according to the next scene? Given my type of vlogging, that is a lot of readjustment, as I am planning to vlog morning to evening in so many evvironments.Pretty much moving between indoors, outdoors, sports, cars, harsh conditions, shops, etc. I guess a VND Filter is a must for me. What about my zebras for slog2? When in frame, expose for face? I would appreciate your feedback as I truly trust your judgment.
I’m basically just a photos person, but this make me wanna push the mark iii even further! Do these luts only work in premier ? I’ve only used CapCut pro version to really edit small little reels !
Hi Timmy, tks for your channel, I loved the tips! So I use a Sony A7SII and it always get messy skin tone colors, the image somehow get a little stained on yellow tones I don't know why... And with different Sony cameras always using s-log.. Have you noticed something similar?
Hey there! So earlier Sony models like the A7sii and even A7iii are notorious for having less than perfect color science and greenish/yellow skin tones. The newer models like FX3 and A7siii have a much improved color to them. My only suggestion is to spend a little extra time when color grading to account for the Slog-2/3 image from those cameras.
U r explaining about slog2 and how to color grade slog 2. But the description u wrote this was shot with canon c300 mkii and that too with an external monitor. Which one is true?????
Hi! I've recently bought an A6400 and I've been wanting to explore picture profiles for product video/commercial. I watch Daniel Schiffer's vids a lot and wanna try to imitate the dark and moody style he has on his product videos but when I shoot S-Log 2 with ITU709 (as per suggested by Caleb DSLR Video Shooter), I'm getting quite a bit of noise in the dark areas when bringing the lift down in post. Do have a video on exposing S-Log 2 for dark/low light videos? Would appreciate a reply!
Hi Ahmad, I don't have a video covering those topics but my suggestion would be potentially using a denoiser plugin. The a6400 isn't the strongest sensor and depending on your ISO and what your lighting looks like, it may be hard to avoid noise in the shadows. Have you tried overexposing and then bringing the entire image exposure down in post? Sometimes SLOG2 is used for higher dynamic range needs (like shooting outdoors), you might have better luck trying a PP like Cine4 or HLG.
@@TimmyLodhi I've studied a bit and recorded a whole bunch of footage to compare the noise between slog and hlg with different exposure settings and framerates. For badly lit or moody scenes i really like the image out of the hlg pp
@@ahmaddahaqin1338 I’ve noticed myself that SLOG2 is really best when shooting outdoors because it’s got a higher dynamic range. When you’re indoors, you don’t necessarily need all that range, and in some cases the noise will just make it worse
Hey, thank you. When I'm in 4K + Slog2 settings I want to switch to 1080P + Cine4 settings instantly. But for recording normal video I need to stay in the movie mode (I think?). In my current setup I have to manually adjust every setting for the preset I like (in camera). Is there a workaround for this? I can't figure out how to select my memory recall settings in movie mode. Best
I use to use Premier Pro but started to have a significantly difficult time rendering the final product, colors were completely off. Now I'm using Davinci and finding it to be effortless. I do like your workflow here, just not comfortable with PP to render correctly anymore.
I know a lot of people that have rendering issues with the final color, especially on Mac. I use a PC and have a Samsung 4K monitor which actually gives me super accurate colors on export to what I see in Premiere.
Small fine tune adjusments like the pushing up the yellow col is better to do after(layer above) applying conversation lut. It makes much more precision results.
This all is incredible information! Has to be the most informative video I've found on TH-cam. Only issue I would be worried about is encountering grain when upping the ISO. What would I do in that situation?
That's the interesting thing. Sometimes upping your ISO actually decreases the amount of noise you get in your shadows. That's why people talk about overexposing SLOG-2 by 2 stops. It's all about balance. Try increasing your ISO and overexposing without clipping your highlights and compare it to an underexposed image. You'll probably notice the first one looks better. For the most part, Sony cameras have great noise performance. You can get close to 6400/8000 ISO before it really starts looking bad.
@@TimmyLodhi I never knew this! This is all really interesting to me and I really can't thank you enough for the all the information. I've been wanting to increase my knowledge a lot. Would you be willing to answer a few other questions I have on Instagram about this stuff?
Beginner here. Really helpful video. Hope you don't mind if I ask a question here. I was playing around with my sony a6500 and noticed that when using shutter priority, i wasnt able to expose over 2 stops to the right. Before taking the video I can set it +2, +3, +4 stops, but the end product all seemed to be exposed the same (+2 cap?). Manual will lock and expose as directed. A follow up would be what do you do during shots where lighting and required exposure will change?
Thanks Deepu! I'd suggest using full manual controls if you can. It'll give you more flexibility. Another thing is that the Sony cameras won't display anything past +2 on the light meter itself. If you see it blinking, you've past +2 stops.
@@TimmyLodhi After some more practice shots motivated by your video, it seems that you can't even go past two stops (no blinking) in modes other than manual. Also evident by the exposure of the clips, despite setting the exposure two stops to the right prior to starting to shoot. Looks like sony will automatically stop down to +2 with whatever variable is not locked. Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.
Dang get this guy a pop-filter! Let me know if you have any questions about SLOG-2.

do you have to have your footage iso up a lot to work with the conversion lut
