Hi, I have years of experience with cinestyle and I would assure you that cinestyle is amazing and here's how to use it. (this is very technical) 1st as being a log profile it is important to establish a base ISO for the profile since it is encoded in LOG, the dynamic range changes with changing the ISO (gain). The dynamic range of a LOG is wider compare to default profiles since luminance information is encoded in log (logarithm) and so the ISO/Gain is acting like a window (limited view) to see those luminance information (dynamic range) and so adjusting the ISO lower or higher from the ideal ISO value, makes it miss the other useful dynamic range and so, as your see in your image, it is lacking a lot of luminance information making it look very flattened and so as if it was very soft. 2nd I will just give you a short answer here, that the most ideal ISO for Cinestyle is 500. If you make it lower, you lost a lot of details in highlights and some in upper gray, and if you make it higher you lost a lot of information in the shadows or lower gray. Meaning to get the sharpest image and best dynamic range for this camera, you have to Fix/never change the ISO while in 500 and if you want to adjust exposure, better use ND filters or adjust your shutter speed/aperture if you have to. Also I can recommend adjusting the saturation on cinestyle to +3 because now that your image is in 4:2:0 8bit, better to minimize pushing colors in post to avoid banding or clipping of colors. I hope that although this is a 2 years old video, many more people will know about cinestyle and save a lot money to just using your trustee M50 while even getting high dynamic range image out of it. Thank you very much.

@SergioTheOne3 жыл бұрын
I edit on Resolve too, and in my opinion is the best tool for color grading out there. If you use a flat profile, you will need to color correct. My recommendation would be to edit your footage first and color correct after you've edited. That way you won't have to deal with the extra processing while you're editing. There are tutorials on KZbin on how to color correct on Resolve and have it render in the background as well. Good luck! 😉

Knowing that Cinestyle removes entirely sharpness in camera, it is meant to use an unsharp mask or any sharpness plugin in post (DeNoiser works quite great even if it’s supposed to focus on noise and not sharpness). Grading the blacks is also a bit tricky because it crushes sometimes the blacks too much, but...I used Cinestyle since the M50 is out, and I invite you to judge by yourself on my New York cinematics. I don’t use any Lut, no Rec709 grade...every clip graded by hand, a bit of patience...

It does make sense. The basic LUT which comes with FilmKit Flat is a full Rec 709 conversion and doesn’t leave any room for additional grading. He sells separately a “Wide DR” version that’s lighter and easier to grade in my experience. It leaves enough room for other LUTs. Hope that helps!
