V13, How to apply S-Log LUT?

engr wrote on 7/4/2014, 9:50 AM

I read the V13 supports the S Log colourspace via ACES. I couldn't find anything in the help file or the internet that says how the LUT file can be support. In Resolve you have to dd a node to pick the S log.. I can't find how to do it in Vegas or is it AUTO?

Anyone?
Thanks.

I found the answer by LUCK! Go to Properties > 32bit FULL RANGE > Select one of the ACES options.

Shooting slightly over exposed on the screen works wonderfully. We were way off in our test tonight of the A7S by under exposing... but the day light slight over exposure turned out excellent.

From what I've read when shooting S-Log an old school incident light meter seems the way to go.

Thanks Bob. Spend one week with the A7S now and the S log has its issues. It can only do ISO3200 at minimal!! Its crazy in daylight so I mounted a variable ND filter. Seems to do the trip but the art of gauging exposure is very difficult.

I'm still meddling to find if it has some exposure waveforms to help guide us. Also, I'm unsure which ACES profile is the most suitable. I found the workflow below for F55 but there is nothing for the new S-Log on the A7s yet.

The colours do POP but now I have a few problems:
1. Using the same method it works great on daylight footage, but looks incredibly noisy in low light shots. the A7s is supposed to be really good but it turns out horrible. In 8 bit it looks noiseless.

2. I'm mixing C300, 5D3, 6D all in one timeline. Once ACES RRT is on the rest of the footage will look unusually BLUE, Orange.

3. Its disappointing that C log is not supported when it is so popular.
