Color grading Sony A7 iv's Slog3 with ACES: it's actually easy.
ACES sounds very fancy, with the Academy word in there. Also, Color Space Transforms sound like serious business.
The truth though, is that these methods are there to make your life easier so that you don't have to do a ton of guesswork when working with log footage. In our case today: Sony A7 IV's Slog3.

Very nice! Which Color Management did you set on Project Settings? Kind regards
In project settings are you setting the color space to Davinci YRGB

Yes, that's correct.
do you know how to convert s-log3 footage to acescg exr? i tried to find a option to set the output to acescg in davinci but couldnt find it
Is this better than color transform using Alexa Log?

It's different. Both give (in my opinion) good but different results. You'll have to test and choose 😊
Can't this whole process be done with 2 nodes instead of 3? The first node is for adjusting the exposure. The second node for the ACES transform: Input transform Slog3 SGamut3Cine, Output Transform Rec709. I don't understand why you go from SLog3 to Aces and then from Aces to Rec709. Am I missing something or is that just an unnecessary added step?

I can't remember how I did it in the video, but the point is to adjust exposure and other stuff in the ACES color space, and not Slog (a matter of preference maybe, but I'm not alone with that). So, one node to ACES, then whatever grade, and the one node out of ACES.

@@RogerinFinland Appreciate the quick reply. Mind if I ask why you prefer to make your adjustments in the ACES color space as opposed to SLog? I assume there's some benefit(s)

No worries 🙂 The controls respond differently depending on the colour space you are in. Things like adjusting the offset, lift-gamma-gain, curves, etc do different things to the image depending on what colour space you are in. I feel that it's easier to use the controls in ACES or ArriLog than Slog. Another reason would be different cameras. If the first node is whatever-log-to-ACES, them all the work is done in ACES and should behave and feel similarly with more independence from the actual camera. I hope this explains it a bit. And I also always say that this isn't the correct way to do it, just my preferred. And whatever method gives you the results you want is the correct one for you 👍🏼
