Color Grade Cinelike D for Beginners

[@SteveWB]

Gotta be you!! Thanks for the info!

[@MatthewDangyou]

Always!!

[@JosephRoyalReacts]

Honestly, this was really helpful especially the luts 🙏🏾

[@MatthewDangyou]

Stoked glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment!

[@Muellermediagroup]

Cine Like d is the same look like Vlog (after when you put a 709Lut on Vlog in Post). BUT: With Vlog, you can change the exposure in Post. With Cinelike D you must exposure correct on Set.

[@guillaumevalli5031]

Thank you for the tips on this! Coming from Leica (stills) trying my lenses with S5II???X, dont always want to shoot with log.... appreciated!

[@GlobeHackers]

This was very helpful. Thanks. I want to get my shots of surfing better. Also can you talk about exposing Cinelike-D?

[@MatthewDangyou]

It’s been a minute since I’ve shot in Cinelike d but normally I would expose 0 stops and use false colors on an external monitor

[@GlobeHackers]

@@MatthewDangyou That makes sense.

[@sora8537]

Thanks Matthew !

[@MatthewDangyou]

Of course glad it can help!

[@BenderFD]

The video I was looking for! Thank you man, I also use FCPX with a G85 and I wanted to get a more profesional look of my footage, this is a good start!

[@MatthewDangyou]

Awesome!

[@beatsbydariggs8706]

anyone know where I can get the CineD lut to 709. The groundcontrol link isnt working anymore

[@soundmoddinglawyer]

The CineD is a display not a log, you already recorded in a rec 709 format

[@bodhiprohl7016]

thanks for the video, this was really helpful, however, the the Cinelike D to Rec 709 Lut link doesn't seem to work anymore could you please fix this?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Oh the new link is payhip.com/matthewdangyou

[@bog_bab]

What is the point to decrease contrast and saturation in camera, but encrease it in post processing? Each post processing change shifts colors and midtones and ad noise to the image, so whats the point?

[@kenstreetcinema]

😊thank you!

[@jamomorrissey]

Great vid! I’m looking to add a G80 to my set up of Lumix G9, LUMIX S5 and Lumix S1, shooting all in cinelike D. Yeah I agree with your approach to presenting to your videos - keep it natural and real, I try and do the same.

[@MatthewDangyou]

Dude that is awesome! I actually have another video coming out on how to color grade Cinelike d. Just a little more updated video, but if you watch how to color grease Vlog l. It is basically the same way I color grade it here but with my Cinelike d conversion lut.

[@jamomorrissey]

@@MatthewDangyou Thanks mate. Cool, looking forward to it.

[@lisamona3401]

Is MOV better quality than MP4 on G9?

[@MatthewDangyou]

MOV is a higher quality format that does take up more space and room. MP4 is a more compressed video format with smaller size files.

[@lisamona3401]

@@MatthewDangyou Which one do you use?

[@MatthewDangyou]

@@lisamona3401 I personally use MOV when recording video on the Panasonic G9, but depending on where I plan to have the final video be exported, I tend to export MP4 with my video files still being MOV to get the most quality possible.

[@lisamona3401]

@@MatthewDangyou What is 1min of 4K mov video size?

[@MatthewDangyou]

@@lisamona3401 not exactly sure my guess is around 1.2gb probably this video here was around 9 minutes and was 9.6 gbs I believe on the raw files

[@travypattypowerlifting652]

That color grade link doesn't work anymore; is their site down or something?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Try this link out www.groundcontrol.film/free-luts/free-cinelike-d-lut

[@joestrahl6980]

First rule of YT PTC, be yourself. 👍

[@MatthewDangyou]

Oh yeah!

[@LS-is5ob]

how do you expose? for 0 or a bit to the right?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Mostly to zero but sometimes a bit to the right. Really depends where the project is going. Something to consider when grading is a lot of people will watch the video on different screens that are not color accurate

[@davinci_exclusivephotovide2825]

thanks broooo

[@andrewwhittington-davis2347]

Shouldn’t you first convert CineD to Rec 709 in davinci (or whatever NLE you are using)?

[@MatthewDangyou]

Yes you can, working with some professional colorist some do and some don’t! I actually in my newer more recent work flow use a my own converter but only at like 50-60% power

[@alexwr]

CineD is already Rec709, so no conversion is needed. It's just a flatter image, it's not a different colour space or anything like that!

[@1rcbking]

Thanks

[@adrianadi332]

Cinelike sucks. Why you dont talk anything about the horrible noise on every image in good condition of light? Sorry for my english. Thank u!

[@QueQualityy]

You're getting rid of it when color grading and properly setting contrast in post. You can also bring noise reduction slider to right for less noisy image by cost of sharpness

[@adrianadi332]

@bydluck thank you👍
