Currently i came to this but it still testing things and this is not final workflow:
In Project Settings:
Input set to BMDfilm/BMDfilm
Timeline set to V-gamut/RED Log3G10 (I just subjectively like V-gamut color space but You can always experiment with different working color spaces. RED Log3G10 also just subjectively looks nice when you adjust contrast and allow very large expose adjustments without clipping data)
Uncheck - "use S-curve for contrast"
- Expose up adjust in RAW
- WB adjust in RAW
- set XY (Pan/Tilt) position to 0.5px to remove Cross Hatching Pattern.
- Noise Reduction Node
- Gain down adjust Node
- WB adjust Node (optional for more precise WB adjust)
- Color Checker Node (set it to Log3G10 in out gamma and Panasonic V-gamut gamut) You can do a separate Color Checker sample before every shot or just do a single sample in netural light enviroment and use this correction in future almost in any video.
- Highlghts adjust Node
- Contrast Node (for RED Log3G10 set Pivot to 0.38)
- Color space Transform Node (Panasonic V-gamut/Log3G10 to Rec709/Rec709 Enable Saturation and Luma Mapping)
- Film Emulation 3Dlut Node (Optional. Sometimes this needs to disable Contrast Node)
- Sharpen Node
Do Not use Color Checker correction in Rec709 color space and gamma because this color space is very small and so Color Checker correction produces clipping and ugly unnatural colors.
