In any case, if you're able to make the clip look good on your external monitor, then you should be able to use some kind of curves adjustment in Premiere to match that look. You're evidently using an external monitor that allows you to inject a LUT, so there's an opportunity to connect that monitor to your computer to identify whether the difference comes down to different display calibrations or a Premiere configuration or some other factor. It sounds like you're happy with a set of adjustments when you were shooting, but somehow what should have been the same pipeline in your computer has resulted in a much darker image. I feel like this is the core problem that you need to address and debug.
When I use the same conversion LUT on the footage, it ends up looking nothing like it did in the monitor. I used the c-log to rec709 LUT from canon in my monitor while shooting Easier said then done it seems when shooting LOG. I know it’s a complicated topic but I’m just trying to understand the best workflow for lighting and exposing my scene for the highest dynamic range and most accurate image. However Canon recommends putting middle grey at 32% which would put the exposure just about where it ended up in my footage. I know in general, many people suggest OVER exposing LOG footage. It totally crushes the blacks and makes a gross looking image so I can only assume it’s not working as intended.
When I bring in the footage to Premiere, most of the clips look underexposed.
I used a light meter to decide exposure but used the LUT in monitor to get an idea of finished image. I used the c-log to rec709 LUT from canon in my monitor while shooting.
C log to rec 709 lut how to#
Trying to understand how to properly shoot and grade 10-bit C-log.
