  1. I love this brother here you are a blessing, I will buy your LUTs to support your movement. Can you make a video with C70 how you exposes c70 false color, waveform where you want the exposure to seat, like outdoor video please and thanks!

  2. Hi – really interesting – I've been adding the conversion LUT on the timeline via custom LUT – then I can place the color wheels curves etc before the LUT – you can then adjust the wide range of the cLog before it gets converted to rec709 – am i doing it wrong?? Thanks for the great videos!

  3. Hi Damien. Adding the LUT via the Extended setting means you are not able to bring back the most dynamic range of your image. You’re baking in that canon LUT and adding adjustments on top. This is fine if you have well exposed images in controlled lighting. As you do. But we found if you instead have no LUT selected in the settings and instead stack the following in the effects panel (which you can automate as a custom effect for speed):

    1. Color correct
    2. Custom LUT (canon)
    3. Color correct

    Now when you Color correct that top one, you are working underneath the LUT. This is especially good when you want to rescue highlights that have been blown by the canon LUT. A quick colour mask select works great. Then you stack the rest below (which is kind of on top – fcpx has a strange system). So something like:

    1. Color correct (hl recovery)
    2. Custom LUT (canon)
    3. Color correct / other LUTS / secondary corrections (now you’re in rec709)
    4. Other LUTS and tweaks

    Hope that helps. It’s a game changer when you’re struggling with footage shot in imperfect conditions.

  4. First off, I just wanted to say that like you, today I sold my C300MarkIII and bought me a second C70. I bought the first C70 about 3 weeks ago and like you, fell in love with it. Anyway, i just want to tell you that I come from and from a career of being a combat cameraman to Network news cameraman over a 30+ years. My favorite part of shooting for CNN was the occasional sit down, lit interview. Unfortunately they were few & few between. I retired from CNN last year and have started my own production company. I never had to deal with file formats, codecs, log footage, or luts. I love how you explain things and so helpful. Thanks!
