Panasonic V-Log LUT Pack

US$22.99

This pack contains technical LUTs for transforming V-Log / V-Gamut footage from LUMIXcameras to Rec. 709 with enhanced color accuracy.

What’s Included:

In this pack, you’ll find separate folders for different cameras. These each have specific tweaks to achieve the best color accuracy for their respective sensors. There's also a folder called General Purpose, which works well on cameras I haven't yet customized. But because each sensor does have minor color variations, I’ll continue to create camera-specific LUTs and will send those out to customers of this pack as a free upgrade when they’re complete. You can also try certain camera specific LUTs on other cameras if you prefer the results. For example, the S5 IIX LUTs will likely work quite well on the S9 due to the similarity in sensors and color intentions.

Contains:

  • General Purpose

  • S1 II

  • S1R II

  • S5 IIX(Compatible with S9 & S5 II)

Variations:

I’ve also provided LUTs for ARRI LogC3 / Wide Gamut 3 to Rec. 709 for the S1 II, since I have the LogC3 license for that camera.

File Names Explained:

- V-Log Undone v3 65: Accurate, fully saturated color with a custom curve to give a finished look with one step. Use in post-production.
- V-Log Undone v3 33 (Monitoring): Same as above, but made compatible for loading into a camera or monitor.
- V-Log Undone LC v3 65: Accurate neutral color with no changes to curve. Better for high contrast scenes. LC = Low Contrast. Use in post and add contrast to taste.
- V-Log Undone LC v3 33 (Monitoring): Same as above, but made compatible for loading into a camera or monitor. 

Exposure & Tips:

Expose neutrally. These LUTs are built on correct exposure principles from Panasonic’s whitepapers, which state that in V-Log 18% gray should be exposed to 42% (10-bit code value of 433).This also matches the in-camera view assist and exposure tools, so you can rely on them as well. For ARRI LogC3, 18% gray should be exposed to 39% (10-bit code value of 400).

If you're applying the LUT to over or underexposed footage, it's recommended that you adjust the exposure in an earlier step in your color workflow before applying the LUT. In DaVinci Resolve for instance, this would mean putting an exposure adjustment node before the LUT node.

It's good practice to place this LUT near the end of your color pipeline. This will make adjustments to exposure, white balance, saturation, and other parameters more consistent and allow you to recover more information when compared to attempting to adjust those things after the LUT is applied.
