Adobe Premiere - Color Correction Workflow for 2K and 4K Slog3 footage (Sony F5) or similar
This wiki builds on the workflow that was followed to create proxies using this Sony F5 Production and Post-Production workflow explained here: | |
When you're done editing and want to Reconnect to the 4K media, uncheck the "Enable proxies" under the "Premiere Pro CC > Preferences > Media..." menu check box | |
To check that the files are being referenced properly to the 4K media you can "right click" on the file in the Project Window and choose "Reveal in Finder" | |
In order to properly "grade" or color correct the footage you must apply a special LUT .cube file to convert the color space from log to Rec.709 or Slog3 Cine. | Download the Slog LUT Here |
Then after the .zip file downloads unzip it by double clicking | |
This folder contains the file you'll need | |
Select the clip you want to adjust in the timeline | |
Click on the color tab | |
Click on Lumetri Color | |
Click on Input LUT and then click on the drop down | |
Choose Browse | |
Navigate to the folder containing the LUT SonyLookProfiles_SLog3_SGamut3Cine | |
In that folder find the Sony SLog3 profile you'd like to apply. "LC-709" is closest comparable to Rec.709, SLog Cine is slightly different. Try both to determine which is best for the look of your project. | |
Once the LUT is chosen you can either adjust the footage's white balance, tint (warm/cold equivalent to Kelvin values), and various light adjustments inside the Effects panel itself | |
Next click "Color Wheels" section | |
Click on Vignette this will give you the ability to apply and customize a vignette on your footage | |
To explain a Vignette it's a circle that highlights a portion of the image. This is a very common and professional color correction technique. Here is an exaggerated look at a vignette. | |
Same image but with a customized vignette to look more subtle. | |
The controls are intuitive. Adjust to what you like. |
