Should you use D-Log M (DLOG M)

[@davidcallow]

Man I really needed this 🙏✨🥺 thank you

You're welcome David! :) :)

D-log M is Rec 709 it’s not a real log profile like S-log 3, N-Log, V-Log, etc.. So better to choose HLG Rec2020

[@WiseCityLife]

Thank you. Excellent and directly stated. I’ve switched to HLG now unless D-Log M ever gets serious and is proven to be better.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much - glad the video was useful - hope you get on ok with HLG :) Check this video as well it might be useful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoG8oKOwlqahas0

Thank you for another straight forward snd easy to understand explanation!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

You're welcome :) :)

Very, very interesting video. Thank you! I'm just getting started with colour grading and people always talk about DLog, and less about D Log M. This is a great explanation.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks :) :)

Thanks to you I am getting awesome result with air 3s at night time shot using hlg and hdr10 processing

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Sounds great! :) :)

[@Raphael_Bonnard]

Great video ! Will stay on D-Log M, for the greater flexibility in post.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks :) :)

Fantastic video, thanks!

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks so much :) :)

[@megaobi]

fantastic video! what about n00bs? some1 who dont wanna play around too much with grading. dlog yes or no?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

If you don't want to do any color grading and you don't want the lower saturation/lower contrast look of D-log m then you would use the standard/normal color modes. Things like dlogm, log, hlg are more suited if you want to color grade when you edit.

Brilliant video 👏

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thank you! 👍Appreciate you saying that :) :)

I did a comp video with d cine like from DJi, by far my favorite I can get my hands on over Apple pro res

[@MTKnockOut]

Thanks for informing me there is possibly more DJi options didn’t even know of hlg

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

No problem! :) :)

I was using D-LOG M And was not getting good enough results, I will try HLG and document my findings here. What did you feel personally cooler grading the two ? Did HLG offer much more ease and capacity to colour grade. ?

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Also watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoG8oKOwlqahas0 One advantage of HLG is it's easier to work with in a proper color pipeline in DaVinci Resolve. I think you can get good results with both but I prefer the more "scientific" workflow of HLG. I still have more testing to do.

Great Video. Even though everything stated is right, I would not use HLG. The colors one gets even after a color space transform are off. They are way too saturated, and the skin tones are too reddish. A big amount of time has to be spent color grading with every clip to get things right. Besides that, the EV meter of the pocket is optimized for Dlog m. I got a lot of times blown out highlights with HLG even though the lightening was at EV 0. HLG is clipping one stop faster than d log m. All in all, in my eyes, HLG is not worth the hustle. There are too many downsides.

[@JasonRobertsVideo]

Thanks - better metering overall would be nice in the P3! Did you watch this next video yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoG8oKOwlqahas0
