    You have great videos but this time I think you should say that this technique has its exceptions like when you have a backlight or when you dont have pure blacks in your footage or pure whites. Its a common mistake to think that every shot has pure blacks or pure whites but i think more than the 50% of the footage you dont need to reach 100% blacks or 100% whites. If you do that you are going to "over contrasting" your footage for sure. My suggestion is, yes use this technique but dont trust 100% in the scopes, use your eyes, the best tools of a colorist are the eyes and the experience.

    What about using a LUT or (instead) a color space transform? For log footage, the problem is that the relationship to gain is not linear across the range from dark to light. It just struck me that shifting the curve in the first couple of steps sort of treats the distribution as linear. The results look pretty good though so this may be a reasonable approximation but a color space transform may be better. Thoughts?

    @@LearnColorGrading Log gamma curves are nearly always paired with specialized color spaces (example: Slog2/S-Gamut3.Cine). Without doing a colorspace transform or applying a LUT (to get to the proper output gamut), there will be a color space mismatch. Curves are a great tool when used with a non-destructive color transform, but using them alone will result in a colorspace mismatch.

    The first three steps are ready useful! Thank you 🙏! Do you have a tutorial how to grade a Log (V-Log in my case) in the way so that I get authentic (and not cinematic!) colors and dynamic range? I usually apply a color space transformation (in the last node) and then use individual corrections (WB, luminance, contrast etc. in the previous nodes) and the result I get is really not bad but still differs from what my eyes saw in reality. It’s shame but I find the colors out of some smartphones more accurate than the results of my efforts! 😢

    Is it full V-Log or V-Log L? Panasonic provides some LUTs which work for full V-Log - one of which I believe is an "accurate" LUT, though the "Nicest 709" LUT is more visually pleasing in my opinion. Alternatively, it may be worth getting a colour chart (like the Video Passport) and using the built in tool in Resolve to accurately map the colours based on the chart.

    @@izzieb , I ttied out both V-Log L (G9) and V-Log (S5). The last one seems to depict green colors more accurately. If you visit my channel you can watch the results of my efforts (the last two videos were graded in Davinci Resolve Studio; the footages were taken on Panasonic S5 in V-Log). The results are not bad taking in consideration that I’m autodidact and hobbyist. But the colors still differ from reality…. I also tried out different LUTs and color checker (they all provide different results) but in my opinion the color space transformation is the best in color accuracy.

    For the S1 / S1H and S5 (which have full V-LOG, not the V-LOG L found in the G-series of cameras), I suggest trying out the DaVinci Color Managed and DaVinci Wide Gamut (they may have renamed it in the latest 17.4 release), which is in the Color Management area of settings. Then you will need to right click on your clips and change the input color to Panasonic V-LOG. It should automatically conform the shot in to rec.709. It does a very good job, and you won't have to worry about clipping anything (as long as the original footage isn't clipped). I also suggest if possible working with the HDR panel instead of lift gamma gain if possible. Much better control and it really looks more natural to me. The LGG panel tends to change saturation too much for my tastes. There is a video or two by Casey Faris (spelling) with Daria from black magic design where she covers the DaVinci Wide Gamut and the HDR panel. Hope this helps.
