Dang get this guy a pop-filter! Let me know if you have any questions about SLOG-2.
What’s the color mode settings after selecting pp7??
do you have to have your footage iso up a lot to work with the conversion lut
@@joshadventures2352depends on lighting conditions. If I’m outside. I usually don’t go past 800 and still need an ND filter. Inside or low-light I might go up to 3200 max
Probably a rookie question but how do I add the LUT to Adobe premier pro?
Love this. I've watched a ton of these videos, but this one is amazing
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.
Glad it helped Dean. Good luck shooting!
Your r the nicest one i`ve ever seen on youtube who teach to grade the color in premiere pro so far . I really thank u for your showing this !
This was the LUT (and video) is was looking for! Thank you so much! Looking forward to your new videos!
Thanks for watching Tim!
Dude one of the best tutorials on colour grading I’ve seen in a long time and will definitely take some of these tips and try them 👌👌👌
Amazing! Glad you enjoyed Josh and thanks for watching.
Amazing tutorial. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Easily understood and simple to follow.
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!
Thanks man! Glad it could help. It's helped me a lot so I figured I'd share.
Thanks for the free luts lodhi! i've tried t and i do find it helpful! it's much easier to grade with underexposed rec709 conversion
Bro I just applied that 709 Conversion LUT and it fit PERRRRFECTLY on my footage, like zero adjustments to make. WHOA that's wild man, just searched for dope content online and found yours. This made my day, b/c I was like 40 minutes into tweaking 709 recovery from SLOG2 and was getting frustrated. Lo and behold you saved the day w/ a simple LUT. I'm using this for everything man, thanks a million! +1 Like, +1 Subscriber!
Hellll yes man! So glad it worked out for you.
OMG you slog conversion lut saved my project! thank you a million times over!
So glad to hear!
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!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
this was supper helpful, i have been struggling with learning how to shoot log but this helped me make a drastic improvement!!!
Great video brother. I’m new to slog and your conversion LUT is a huge help. 🙏🏼
You earned my sub 👍🏼
Thank you for watching my friend!
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
Thank you my friend!
Incredibly helpful -- thanks so much for doing this 🙋🏼♂
Dude this helped me a lot, really...thank you for your simple way of explaining!

Appreciate you watching! Stay tuned for more.
Love from Kenya (254) bro! Loved this tutorial. I've subscribed to your channel and waiting for more of such content
Appreciate it! I've got some new videos coming soon. ;)
Really useful workflow. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!
Thanks for watching!
amazing lut brother and info, thank you so much
so well explained. thank you for this!. looking forward to trying your Conversion LUT !!! Thank you thank you.
Good luck! Let me know how it goes
Thanks sir...I applied this lut... result is amazing.

New subscriber. I’m thankful you explain in such a clear and concise manner. Thanks for the video.
So great to hear!
Amazing videos on Sony a7III and using log. Thanks ... very helpful
your conversion lut safe my life! Thank you so much!
You’re very welcome! Glad it helped
this 709 conversion lut is fire bro, fit perfectly 🔥🔥🔥
This was super dope I'm gonna use this LUT in my video next week ty for sharing
Thank you for watching my man.
Really great video! You're gonna be a big youtube soon enough.
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!
Hey! Thanks so much Marvin. Your videos are fantastic! Hoping to have some new content coming out soon.
@@TimmyLodhi thanks buddy, you deserve more viewers, definitely subbed. I'd love to learn more about storytelling.
@@MarvinGreyPhoto Awesome. I've got a music video in the works. Maybe I'll talk about my process and lighting.
omg your lut is so helpful, thank you so much
you explained it that simple , thanks for not complicating 😇
thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. i just try this and it makes a big difference
Glad it helped!
Absolutely love your work! Very appreciative of how you guide. I realize this is an older video but 1: Are you always utilizing a rec709 lut before bringing in a stylized lut? 2: I know in another video you discussed possible doing a piece on false color and waveform monitoring. Did that ever make it to fruition?
Very useful. Fantastic Lut too so thanks kindly.
So glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video. Great help!
Amazing. Thank you for share!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this, very clear information.
thanks man! Just picked up an A7C and am giving slog 2 a go! Appreciate the help!
So great to hear! Good luck
Thank you so much sir for this amazing technique in color grading, now I have a less hassle.
You're most welcome
Good job, and thank you very much for sharing !
great video and thanks for the conv LUT!
Thanks for watching! Hope it helps
Thank you man! Really helpful!
thanks for this bro, you deserves more subscribers, newbie here
thank u, perfect explanation for beginner like me. will try it soon. subs + liked 👏😍
thank you for the lut man!
Great tutorial. Thank you for this!!
You got it!
your lut is sooo nice ! thanks
Thank you! So glad.
best video ever! love eyou bro from Dominican republic
Thank you!
thanks bro , very good lut for my work
Love it!
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 was awesome to watch, thank you. New sub
Appreciate it!
Thankyou for the lut sir
thanks for sharing,. keep the nice job
great video mate, great footage.
Thanks my friend!
this lut to rec709 is amazing
Glad it's helping!
THIS was pretty helpful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks my man. Glad it helped
Happy birthday to the king who made A7III slog2 alive again!
♥️♥️
These tips and the Lut are such a dream thank you so much! You took my videography to the next level for myself!😍 Can you do a "not overexposed slog 2 lut" and "underexposed slog 2 lut"? Would be amazing!😁
So great to hear! I think that's a good idea. It'll take a bit of testing but it might be something I can work on soon.
@@TimmyLodhi Perfect! I subscribed so im hyped for upcoming content. Keep on going with this amazing content!😊
Your conversion lut just save me 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
So glad!
@@TimmyLodhi I've checked many videos, i mean many but you really killed it, keep on doing good work, we're learning from you🔥
@@emmanuelondoua 🥳🥳🥳
¡Muchas gracias!
Thank you so much!
youre really great, thank you very much
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.
Color grading is totally subjective! As long as you’re happy with it, that’s all that matters.
@@TimmyLodhi 🙌🏻
Loved the info for SLog2, this video helps out a lot when starting out to figure out how to manipulate the colors! How do you download the files to premiere pro?
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
Beautiful Footage Timmy! Thank you for the tutorial. Do you have one for SLOG-3?
I don’t at the moment. Maybe that’ll be my next video. 😉
Thanks! Very helpfull lut :)
Glad it helped!
nice job mate, thx
Aai yo thanks man for the LUT.
Thank you man! This info was awesome.. I had a very similar workflow but I saw that my footage was getting some rediness especially at skin tones so I'll try this one and leave feedback.
Also, do you use specific slog2 settings or the default PP7?
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! I just use the default PP7 profile. If you check out my video on exposing SLOG2, I cover it a bit more in detail.
Perfect bro❤️❤️❤️
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.
awesome, thanks!
Brother thank you so much!
Thank you my man!
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
Solid video!
Thanks mate!
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
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.
the best shot is the interior , very nice look
I think the dog helps lol
I love this
Awesome
great video and a new sub :D
Awesome!
Thank you
may you share your Slog 2 settings ?
Hey! I use the standard PP7 profile. No changes made to the settings
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?
@@TimmyLodhi What are your zebra settings?
@@Cineluvideos Zebras are set to 100+ so I know anything past 100 is clipping
@@TimmyLodhi Thanks I found the answer about setting up zebra.
Very well done video i am curious as to what slog 2 settings you ise though ^^
Hey there! I use the standard PP7 profile. No changes made to the settings. I can get you the specifics if you need
Thanks a lot.
Great video man! Making the switch from Cine 4 to Slog-2. What do you set your zebras to so nothing clips? I've heard 107 and also 95 so I'm curious to what you set yours to if you use them. Thanks!
Thanks friend! I’m no pro at using zebras but I set mine to 100 + and that serves me well in avoiding clipping the highlights
This channel is G O O D
😎
thanks a lot bro
Always welcome!
THANKS A LOT MAN!
Your LUT saved my ass on a project, the original sony lut did not work at all...
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome! Wich color gamma you use in your S-Log 2 videos?
PP7- SLOG2 (no tweaks made)
I really liked the short, quite vibrant and peaceful. Also it's one of the few footages that make a7iii look like a cinema camera 😄
I have a question about exposure. I am an hlg3 user that refrained from slog2 since people say it's hard to expose. How do you do it?
Ettr or maybe fixed overexposure? Once again thanks for your film and the grading tips.
Thank you! I think overexposing can be tricky with Sony cameras but I always use zebras! I set them to 100+ and know that everything with striped lines will be blown out. I'll also use the exposure meter at the bottom and aim for +1.7 or +2.0. Just remember that Sony Cameras don't read above +2.0 so if you see that number blinking you may be too overexposed.
@@TimmyLodhi Thank you, I'll give Slog a shot, who knows, with these tips, maybe I can make it look decent : D
Cheers!
@@arealgoodJoe Good luck!!
Blindly setting your zebras to 100+ isn’t a magic fix, you first need to know what the correct exposure actually IS with your particular gamma curve. Sony does have a white paper on the values on their website to reference, but it will also depend on what light you have to work with when you shoot - every shoot.
@@BrewReview If I remember correctly, the white paper mentions having to expose your middle Grey to around 30 or 35% for Slog2 for you to have the highest dynamic range possible for Slog2... The problem with that is that is it is underexposed and when you adjust it in post, it is very noisy. Yes, it does net you the highest dynamic range possible for Slog2 but with a noisy image so that's why people are overexposing instead to have a cleaner image because it will still give you a big dynamic range. I do agree that setting the zebra to 100+ is not a magic fix. Having a monitor with a false color function, and of course lighting properly is still the way to go. If you still didnt get an external monitor, you should also properly expose your image because thats still the most important part of the image, so you need to have another zebra pattern prepared and set it to 60 to 75% depending on what type of skin the subject has. Gerald Undone made a great video about Slog2, which is to expose your subject 1 stop higher and to make sure your highlights are not overexposed (if you need the information of your highlights), that's why you need to have 2 zebra patterns prepared, 1 for the subject which is set to 60 to 75%, and 103 for the highlights.
thanks man
Thanks a lot
Hey thanks for this vid! quick question though on something I never really understood, or maybe I'm just overcomplicating it. So lets say it is a super bright day like the one in your vid, are there times when you don't set your exposure to +1.7 or + 2.0? It seems like there's alot of times when that wouldn't be necessary since your already at minimum ISO 800. Also for night shots do you still use SLOG2? Wouldn't increasing the exposure add more noise?
Hey! Great questions. For bright conditions. I still shoot +2.0 as long as nothing is peaking. Meaning, nothing is blown out to the point of no return. To really gauge this, I’d suggest using zebras. There will inevitably be times where it does blow out on sunny days, especially if you point towards the sun.
In terms of night shots. I still prefer to shoot SLOG2. I know this increases noise in the shadows but since it’s already so dark I know those shadows/blacks will be crushed in post. Meaning, the noise won’t be visible.
@@TimmyLodhi Thank you so much! I will test it out. Do you use +2.0 at night too or lower?
@@twinspowertv1078 it’s hard to trust the meters at the point because they’re giving you a reading of the entire frame. Try to rely more on zebras or a waveform at the point. It’ll be much more reliable!
@@TimmyLodhi Hi, What's the zebra setting like?
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.
Tq so much
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.
