LUMIX Tutorial for Realtime LUT

Download the V-log to LogC3 LUT

[uptonfilms]

Seems like Lumix and Arri did agree with your creativity!! Arri Log is now in the GH7

This idea about convert v-log to arri log C inside the camera, this is the brilliant! Thank you! This can help to match this camera with any camera(one cam for all)👍

Pannys VLog always worked great for Arri conversions 🙏 i remember using the GHAlex lut back in the day. one of the best log profile in the mirrorless world.

I played with this when the camera came out and came to the conclusion that it was terrible. Use a transform later don’t mess with the DR baked in.

[VariTimo]

A Resolve color space transform doesn’t change the color science, so applying a rec709 LUT for a different camera without changing the underlying color science leads to trouble. If you want to do this, use Emotive Color’s color science emulations to actually match the colors to the Alexa. And I’m am not sure what this really accomplishes. You can set up a grade in Resolve and apply that to the footage with just as many clicks as you would the Alexa rec709 LUT but without burning in a transform that might cause trouble. Also, don’t use the Resolve rec709 LUT for the Alexa, that is really old and clips much sooner. Use Arri’s LUT tool to get a rec709 LUT that’s much smoother.

Last week also my S5iiX arrived. For now i keep my S5 as B-cam, but i might swap that one for a S5ii in the future. But really love the S5iiX. 6K video is also magic, so much flexibility there.

[manufilms]

Great video! Just got my S5II, a beast of a camera. Thank you

I have been a user of Lumix S5 for a year, the truth is that beyond the fact that it does not have "good" continuous autofocus, the quality it offers is excellent, 4k has beautiful sharpness, even full hd and the options it gives you slow motion is very usable.
It is part of my team for TV programs that I work on and the color that the camera gives is very nice, nothing to envy to the Canon cameras with which we also work.
Later when I have the money I would like to have the s5IIX

[JoshCameron]

Brilliant video mate, love seeing you using the S5IIX :)

[ForestCinema]

The main difference will be in texture and stops of DR. Arri’s sensor still has about a +2 stop advantage on the Panasonic cameras (usually allocated to highlight roll off, ) and that’s mostly what I’m waiting for Panasonic to improve before I ditch my S1H.

I’d love it if they did a B-EVA-S2H full frame cine cam hah

I AM a sucker for the all black though, not on every camera but on a hybrid it helps to obfuscate the busy aesthetic.

Fantastic, this is the info I have bee missing, great job brother

[kuraro]

THANKS TITO, brilliant as always. I am going to get S5IIx as my A camera... asap! Best regards

[davidmultimedia]

I wouldn’t do that. First, the camera can only bake in 33x resolution LUT, so that CST would look better when applied in post. 2nd, if your WB isn’t perfectly spot on, you’d have to correct it post-CST, which again isn’t ideal. 3rd, the only time you’re actually saving is that one node CST… not worthy of sacrificing anything over one node. If you really want to match the camera to the Alexa, just get Emotive Color’s S5alex. You’ll be able to use the LUT version or the powergrade version and it’ll match the Alexa in all it’s glory, with highlight rolloff, perfect skintones, and absolutely perfect HSL.

That's a pretty smart hack, Tito! Thanks for this! I am probably replacing the GH5 with the S5 II X, and effectively completing my transition to the S line. My trusty Lumix S1 becomes by B-Cam, and now I'm scrambling to find good L-Mount glass that will be gentle on my shoulders since I travel a lot. I might just go back and get a GH5 in the future, since I am holding on to my MFT glass, but for now, the S5 II X ticks most of the boxes (the Nikon Z8 ticks all of them at this point, but it costs much more, so waiting for the S1H IIX to reach that point and then probably sell the S1 and make S5 II X my B-Cam and yada yada... the cycle of upgrades is almost endless)

[AbstractFilms]

I’ve been using the S1Alex Conversion Lut on my View Finder Assist on my S1H, so this is great to see taking it one step further on the S5IIX.

I think I’ll keep my S1H as a rigged out A Cam, and the S5IIX will be my B-Cam/Run&Gun gimbal camera on the Ronin RS3 Mini.

[orion-viikhmernight]

Great tip brother, thanks for sharing.

[craigw.scribner]

Thanks, Tito! I'm a subscriber to your channel now, after seeing your link on B&H's website.

[hongqiyao]

Do you apply the Arri Clog to the footage in post production? or the LUT from the link?

[ggdfggdfgdffgfddg]

An interesting topic, but on a 3 "or 7" screen, you can fix the exposure and color. In theory, loot is a blessing, but Panasonic give us wi fi broadcast to an external monitor without lags!

[marckyokay]

Wait... how does that smallrig cage have hammertone paint...
