    I was just looking at that and I see what you are saying with the rendered version.  Something happened from Premiere to the exported Vimeo/YouTube...  I didn't adjust the Preset for Vimeo 4K or YouTube 4K at all.  What export do you do?

    I read the description in YouTube and you mention that you hit the "auto" button in Premiere. I've tested it only once or twice and the results haven't been good. It might be what ruined your colors. Maybe apply only Leeming and nothing else (or maybe just lift exposure if blacks are too dark)?

    If you've ever used any of the Leeming corrective LUT's, they correct the manufacturer luma curves to be linear. In most (but not all) cases, this results in the image “appearing” to be darker, but it’s not affecting anything, nor clipping anything, nor adding additional noise that wasn’t in the shot to begin with.  Now you just adjust the exposure, saturation, and contrast to taste and/or use a creative LUT.   My point of this post though was to not do anything like that, that in interpretive, like a color grade would be, so instead picked something that was just a starting point.  The important thing being that from that point grade it as per my customer, my own preferences, etc.  If you had perfect blacks at this stage with a high dynamic scene, there is no way hell you have protected your highlights, which the whole point of the Leeming LUT's.  Now, if I went to grade the footage from here and the blacks were actually crushed (and they are not), then I would balance the exposure down a bit and give up some highlight detail.  I can share an actual graded version, but that was not intent here.

    I use Leeming LUT in every project. If you take screenshot of that YouTube video and check it for example in Photoshop with eyedropper tool, you can see that RGB values of the dark areas are 000, so there is absolutely no information left. It's not even just the darkest bits, it's all the large dark areas.

  3. 5D Mark II changed everything, I got it 2010 so it's this decade for me. I had NX1 and GH5 and those were great, but the impact wasn't the same (and GH5 colors are off). Ronin-S comes close though, it gave so much freedom to how to use the camera.

    XT3 is also superb becouse you can use the Provia setting and get really good image straight out of camera.

  4. I just received X-T3 and I can't find any way to record simultaneously to both SD cards. Backup recording seems to affect still images only. Is this the truth or is there something I'm missing? 

    2 card slots are a waste if there is no way to use them for backup recording.

  5. I have them both and I actually like GX80 colors more. 50 fps 4K is for me the only reason GH5 is a better choice (and to be honest GH5 looks more like a professional camera, as GX80 looks more like a turist toy). I find V-Log unusable colorwise and I don't see a big difference between 10 bit and 8 bit footage.

    thank you @August McCue !

    +15 mbl , -4 saturation, -3 contrast (NEVER drop the contrast lower than the saturation), -10 sharpness (slightly sharpened in post) and 0-255 luma range.

    lens used was the Contax Zeiss 50mm f1.4 AEJ

    Why is it so bad to drop contrast lower than the saturation? I've got good results leaving saturation at 0 and lowering contrast to -3.

  7. "We [recorded in] ProRes. In our testing we found that the benefits of shooting Raw didn’t necessarily apply to what this film needed. The ALEXA’s latitude (when shooting ProRes) was enough without going down the post-production path with Raw."

    So it turns out you can get 8 Oscar nominations (including the cinematography) without shooting RAW or film.

    Absolutely fake, and if true, it would certainly cost the same as an FS5 minimum. Besides, how can it be 20mp and output 6k ? Wouldnt it have to be at least 28mpx?

    In Red Epic Dragon 6K is 19,4 megapixels.
