A is easily the most colour accurate - the sky needs to look right. You really need to try Alistair Chapman's S-log conversion LUTS - better than Sony's official LUTS.

I was looking at getting the gamut LUTs, in particular one of them that I like a lot. Now after watching some videos on the lemming LUTs my understanding was that it gives you a good starting point. For me it will be using HLG3.
So am I right to think that the lemming is then to have colours corrected, good skin tones, etc and then I can apply the gamut LUTs to get the tones I want?

Hello Danny :-). Cheers for the vid. Agree about Leeming LUTS. I always always always under expose my footage for this LUT, often up to 2 stops! Should really switch to another but have been using S-Cinetone for a while now (lazy me). Need to get back to SLog3 I guess, but move away from the Leeming LUT which has been putting me off. Nice to see you. Hope all is well.

Hi Danny thank you so much for this video. It was super helpful.

I use the phantom LUTS and edit in FCPX. Would I only apply the Phantom lut and then achieve the look? Or use the Sony conversion AND the Phantom lut?

thank for the video! - very clear ! do you have a link for the spesific Sony slog3 lut?

Cool video. Question: Did you follow all the instructions for setting up the Leeming LUTS? There's a whole guide included, and might help with the exposure issue. Also, I think your Color Checker is for Photography, not video, which uses a different set of color patches for calibration/correction. Cheers!

Whenever I see a video about luts I know they're not using Davinci. 🤣
