If you do see a issue and the footage looks like it’s blown out or too dark check to make sure that you do not have multiple LUTS applied


Remove all the LUTS except the Sony S-Log3

Also look at the Source Color Space options and

Try both the S-Log3 / S-Gamut3 and

S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine

If you don’t like any of the LUTS you can remove them

>Apply to All and then

Click OK to get out of the source settings menu.

 

If you already have a timeline using the clips prior to removing the LUTS then

you need to right click the sequence and choose >Refresh Sequence>All

That should update the clips in the timeline to the

current look of the clips w/o the weird other LUTs applied
