Have both LUT pack's and am a big fan of yours now brother! Keep up the great advice because you're a phenomenal teacher!

As always, THE video we all wanted 😮 keep ‘em coming!!

[igetnoviews]

BRO! This is incredible, we need more videos with little tricks, like that HSV node to bump up the saturation in just the highlights! Absolute game changer🤝🤠

Thanks for providing this much depth into your video breakdown! This breakdown is what I’ve been looking for for awhile now. Especially, since Davinci Resolve does not support F-Log 2. Definitely will start using elements of your colour grade workflow 😊

[jakedooom]

You provide a great insight and overview to this structured approach. Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the video.

How do you set 18% gray to 46 on FLOG. I'm using Fujifilm X-T3.

Thank you

[MickBenjamins]

You're a magician! This is awesome to see, thanks a lot for sharing your process

[blasepivovar]

This is great. Thanks for sharing Evan!

[rossandhisjpegs]

Thanks for this Evan!! Brilliant as always 🎉

[GabrielScindian]

Thank you for sharing. The work looks amazing

[kinoromantic]

Great stuff as always! I’m new to f-log. What are your transform settings? I can’t seem to find Fuji in “input color space” menu, does that mean it’ll stay as “use timeline”? When using ACES lite workflow I do have F-log setting ‘in input color space’ dropdown menu. I’m on DaVinci 19. Thanks

How to do proper colour space transform for f log 2 can't find it anywhere hope you can help. Can't find flog in input color space, most people say to use rec 2020 . Can't find the best way any suggestions

If i may ask 2 questions...

Q1- In regards to your Flog2-to-Rec709 LUT, do you load this in your external monitor on set to preview what you'll be seeing for when you bring it back to resolve as your starting point?

Q2- when you graded the drone footage, i was suprised not to see you having to match the color space to the fuji Log. You used the Dji. Wouldn't that have gave a different look cuz of the color science between the 2 cameras?

[just_the_letter_a]

Nice video! I was wondering why do you bring up the shadows after applying the LUT? Shouldn't you do it before the conversion to Rec709 for better range? Thank you!

[jankratochvil]

Great piece Evan! What is the name of the intro song? I know you are using Artlist, but what's the name of that particular tune? Thank you!

[ИванВасильев-лш]

Hello Evan, nicely graded! But isn’t it more effective to keep all the grades before the LUT/CST to 709 node?

[ChetaMeister]

Great grade. What about putting all clips in a group and applying the node tree on that?

[keithofthesea]

Would the same philosophy apply to color grading F-Log in FCP? Adjusting the broad strokes first, then apply conversion LUT, etc.?

Hi Evan, thanks for all the great fuji content. I have an xh2s and am trying to get better flog2 results in fcpx. I'm looking for a clean commercial look, ideally something like Astia, which I love. I'm not a huge fan of Eterna for commercial work. I'm happy to buy your lut pack if you think it'll get me closer to an astia type look. What do you think? Thanks again!
