@uliman, @eatstoomuchjam, @konjow, have any of you Premiere guys had a change to try the latest version of Logarist for Premiere? Does it work?

Is V-log identical in both the GH4 and GH5?
@majoraxis, you misunderstand. I'm saying that I'm not sure what my telling you that V35 V-Log is very different from GH4 V-Log L tells you about the GH5.

Not sure what it tells you, but the V35 V-Log LUT is really wrong for GH4 V-Log L. GH4 V-Log L is quite different from V35 V-Log.

I don't have AE so I don't know what you're talking about. But I don't think you're right. The pattern I observed in Premiere is clear: in 8-bit H.264 files, Premiere obeys the Video Usability Information video_full_range…

@sebolla, what flag do you mean exactly?

Gh5 video levels
Oh yeah, Premiere reads the full range flag in 8-bit files, but not in 10-bit files. Call it a bug or a limitation. The truth is that the flag is not a required part of any standard. Most video apps don't read the flag at all. Stick to the sta…

The recording stops after HBR firmware is 42 Mb / s
In HBR it's never as simple as just increasing the bit rate. A lot of parameters need to be adjusted. I suggest just using the settings of someone else who already did the work.

What hack settings are you using? Not all are stable. Cake is stable in HBR at about 45 Mbps.

Premiere isn't wrong. It's decoding the levels according to the full range flag set in the H.264 stream, which depends on the luminance level setting in the camera. The inconsistency is due to the fact that the test pattern is only defin…

Panasonic EVA1, like in WALL-E, S35 Camera
Panasonic needs to sell this for a lot less than the Canon C200 if they want it to sell well. The Panasonic may have the better sensor and codecs, but the Canon has autofocus, internal raw recording, and the more established brand. Even if the Pan…

Fast, lightweight telephoto options suitable for adapting to MFT?
When it comes to telephoto prime lenses, the size and weight difference between full-frame and APS-C is so small that they scarcely make any in APS-C. So don't worry about that. What's going to save you size and weight is sticking as clo…

The OpenColorIO plug-in is not mine. It's just a way to load LUTs in Premiere, and it works better than Lumetri, which has a number of problems.

Logarist Color Correction for DaVinci Resolve, Vegas Pro, and Final Cut Pro X
@konjow, maybe someday. The problem right now is that the OpenColorIO plugin seems to not work correctly on Mac. I tried it in Premiere Pro CC 2017 for Mac, and though it loads a LUT and applies it without any problems, if you save the project, cl…

Thanks, @victormm. Glad it is working for you. Which picture style did you use on the FZ1000? For the GH4's Cinelike D, Logarist supports 16-235, 16-255, and 0-255 equally well. The Logarist input LUTs compensate for how your video software…

Thanks, @JanH. Glad to hear it. I'm not really clear on how noise fits into this. Logarist doesn't do anything to improve noise. If the noise is in the source, it will be in the output too, but at least it won't be any worse. To…

Sony F3 topic, F3 now comes with free S-LOG
@sammy, you can get S-Log as a picture profile using firmware version 1.45. But if you want 1080/60p, for most recorders you will still need the RGB 444 option. The RGB 444 option enables 3G SDI output. Without that option, 1080/60p output uses…

> Any 4K camera can produce 1080p 10bit image after resize. That's not right. Any 4k 4:2:0 can be downsampled to make 1080p 4:4:4. But if you start with 8 bits, you don't magically get 10 bits by downsampling. Intermediate 10-bit va…

Ninja Inferno with HDR and 4Kp60
I wonder. Does it have an annoyingly loud fan, like the Shogun Flame does? I bought and returned the Flame because it was too loud. The original Shogun is not as loud, though still louder than I like.

@wslagter, on Sony cameras I recommend setting the color mode to Still. But feel free to experiment and pick your favorite. None of my cameras support S-Gamut3.Cine, so I'm not sure how it compares.

I've evaluated test footage from the GH5, and obtained very nice color using Cinelike D in Logarist. It remains to be seen whether V-Log L holds any advantage over Cinelike D. I'd be pleased to have some GH5 owners give Logarist a try an…
