I think it is a tad confusing. I have done mainly colour correction instead of grading with previous cameras. Blackmagic, and in my case, the original pocket, are completely different beasts. Obviously, when shooting RAW, mere correction is not enough, grading is needed to make footage 'pop'.
So, the advice given in...
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/pro ... e/trainingCompletely contradicts the advice given here...
http://data.pleintekst.nl/Blackmagic_Po ... Guide.htmlwhich categorically states not to 'manually correct Log footage by just increasing contrast or playing with saturation/exposure curves.'
I understand that the tutor on the video is a professional, but she is providing a 'tutorial'. So should you, or , should you not take her approach?
I was testing some footage last night and went for the 'changing colour space with luminance mapping' approach suggested in the Pocket Cinema V1 Survival Guide. I got pleasing results, but should I be manually correcting the footage before adopting this method?
Sorry for all the questions. I, like the rest of you, are just trying to get the best footage as possible and am experiencing a steep learning curve!!! I haven't even started my thread about best upload settings yet!!!!
