hi, i am fairly new to colour grading and to filmmaking. i used to use an old Panasonic MX and a Canon XL2 and did not do any adjustments to the video apart from editing, in-camera white balance and audio levels. i have more recently been learning colour grading with ColorFinale and Cinema Grade in Final Cut Pro X.
in terms of ETTR, would this be more suitable for normal picture profiles / picture styles than for Log profiles? i understand that Log profiles stretch out the data for highlights in order to increase the dynamic range that can be captured and in this case wonder whether there would be less data for ETTR in the highlight areas.
i currently use a Sony FS-5 which i usually shoot in Cinegamma (PP4) in 10-bit 4:2:2 Full HD, however i also use Canon DSLR's (5D MArk iv) and Mirrorless (EOS R) which i have been recently combining with a BlackMagic Video Assist 5" in order to obtain outboard 8-bit 4:2:2 Full HD. i recently upgraded my 5D MArk iv with C.Log but have yet to try C.Log with either camera.
