Z CAM Z-Log2 Workflows in DaVinci Resolve

Ғылым және технология

For as long as I've been shooting with Z CAM cameras I've explored different ways of grading the footage. In this video I explore workflows in DaVinci Resolve that hopefully you'll find interesting and useful.

    About to buy Davinci today after over a decade on Premiere Pro - Hopefully this solves some of my Zcam S6 problems. Really struggling grading the log footage even with the Zlog Color plugin

    7.29 - If you are performing an output transform upon export and play it back on the same (709) molnitor it will look bad. Say you output for a projector... then you need to watch it on a projector. Do you have a projector?

    You can add zlog2 to the list of aces input options. Thatcher Freeman made a video showing how to do it: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/mJNpsMmyc7mpgJs.html Aces is supposed to be a working timeline space, so I don’t think it makes sense to transform from zlog2 to aces on a timeline node since this is applied after your clip settings. Timeline nodes can be useful for transforming to output colour spaces project-wide in manually colour managed workflows, or can be used for workflows where the same look is applied to an entire timeline and clip nodes are used for individual clip corrections. But if you want to work in aces it’s best to transform the input from the camera to aces at the beginning.

    Have you played with the WDR mode at all on this camera? It is supposed to achieve upwards of 16 stops of DR on the E2, so I can't imagine how well it would do on the F6! The sensor may not read out fast enough for it in the 6k modes though as it has to take 2 exposures for every frame

    @@palpafilms If it is capable of it, Zcam, implements a WDR mode that merges the different exposure of 2 near-simultaneous frames to get a greater dynamic range image. It is available on the Zcam E2, but I wasn't sure if it was in the F6 or not, it would be really cool if it was!

    Do you ETTR when shooting zlog ? Or use the zcam rec709 to monitor your image

    ETTR is a good idea in general to avoid noise in the shadows. It really depends on how you want to expose your subject though. If your lighting is good there’s no need to ETTR. I personally never use LUTs for monitoring. I like to see what the camera is recording.
