I was soooo frustrated trying to color grade!!! This 2 layer conversion lut thing saved my life!!!!! No matter what lut I threw in, it was always flat and ugly looking til I found this video…. Thanks Teppo!!!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Your welcome!

[@MatthewHadley20]

I feel this process is so all over the place based on who you watch or listen to. Definitely appreciate the "quicker" process. I appreciate you showing the process when you have different lighting throughout your project. That's one thing no one talks about. I like the idea of one adjustment layer and color correction for the whole project, but that's just not feasible for my work flow. I always have light and dark scenes that need different corrections. Anyway, thanks again.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Definitelty everyone has their own workflow!

[@djtalal]

Loving how the new office is coming out to look.

[@3qgc]

Your promise of the premise was exceptionally good! I subscribed before you even asked. Well done Teppo!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Why thank you!

[@mattih]

Thanks for the shout out on my LUTs 😊 🙏🏻

[@TeppoHaapoja]

A good product deserves a shout out!

[@PaulFeinberg]

A wise man once said what helps you helps me.

[@loanhuynh2816]

Which LUT package you use in this video?

[@ddespair]

The "Custom LUT" is under "Color" in your effects browser, for those who were looking for it. Also I've been loading the main log conversion in the clip itself under "info". I'm not sure if this is better or worse than using an adjustment layer, or if this is just part of the time saving. Great video though!

[@dansellcreative]

Great video! What’s the link to download the adjustment layer you mentioned in the beginning? Thanks!

[@jonlaidonlie]

OMG I had been adding the custom LUT to EVERY CLIP. Using the adjustment layer is a game changer for me.

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Niceee!

[@Tucaaue]

Finally someone took the time to explain this! Thank you!

[@WhoIsJonHarris]

Been watching Matti for YEARS and I thought I had already subscribed! Now it's confirmed. I've been wanting to give the log shooting a try for a while. This walk through has given me the confidence for sure. Thanks Teppo!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Oh man glad ur subscribed now ;)

[@TruTheCreator]

thanks for this! definitely learned some tricks. Had no idea the order of the effects in the panel mattered and the eyedropper tool will be a life saver. 🙌

[@Microscopyenthusiast]

You can make these color grade videos as much as possible. I am not a finalcut pro user but the process is similar to follow. Thank you!✌

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks bro!

[@TuckerPearce]

You’re grinding Teppo! Another video, impressed. By the way the last one on the numbers and subs was excellent and inspired me to finish a video I’d started and wasn’t getting back to. Thanks

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thats awesome Tucker!

[@benjaminwesercreative]

Very helpful. It gets very time consuming when I‘ve got many clips split and mixed around and color temp is all over the place and needing to fix it for each clip. In thst instance its almost better to color correct exposure before I start splitting and mixing things around. 🧐

[@hangingoutwithryan]

So thankful for this video. I have been a still photographer my entire life and now diving into film. Videos like this really help make this journey much less scary. Keep up the good work in Finland. I worked in Sweden for over 15 years as a photographer :) Not to far from you :)

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Your welcome! And no way!

[@ItsJFox]

Cool walk-thru Teppo! But I'm confused why you added the color correction effects to the top of the stack above the luts, after you already added the luts? Aren't you building each layer of luts/corrections as you go?

[@aman.2912]

This is so good and precise. Thanks bro!

[@mattcook6791]

First video. Excited for more!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thats amazing! Appreciate having you here.

[@asyeshakhan2282]

Thank you so much for this video helps alot! Please make video about slog3 settings on Sony As7iii

[@KasaTavs]

My only suggestion will be to use the VIDEO-SCOPE [command + 7] to better understand the color spectrum of the video. Other than that, I love the simplicity of your color-grading process. ✌🏼

[@OfficialKennyRivers]

thanks!

[@sopossiblelife]

Thank you for this! I've wanted to try this but had no idea how to do it. You've made it simple!!! Definitely trying this!!!

[@Joshuuwaah]

Great video on your workflow in FCP. I am also a FCP user. You have made this very clear, I have learnt some great tips in your colour grading. Especially the blue highlights, and removing them.. I would find wedding dresses tend to pick up this quite alot. I will defiantly try and use some of your methods in my next video. Thanks Teppo! Your content is the best!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Awesome!!!

[@angela-r]

Thank you so much for this. It’s so helpful. I hadn’t been using adjustment layers. I would grade one clip and then copy paste those edits to my other clips when that was edited to my liking. Then I edit the pasted adjustments if needed as you did in the final step. Although I think I’ll need to try using an adjustment layer now. Thanks for the tips Teppo! 🙂

[@ToneRoss]

You should do a tutorial on how to make a custom lut.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Ooo that thumbnail looks beautiful

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks!

[@leomannisto]

Kiitos tästä videosta! As someone who is really new this was so good value. My EOS R files just seem somehow to fall apart pretty quick but tried this technique with 2X LUT + Wheels + Curves and the end result just looks so much cleaner. Kiitos! 🙏

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Amazing Leo! Glad this helped.

[@DrawingLightPhotography]

This was awesome !

[@AlexTene]

For someone that is new to this I think it is also important to stress the value of filming in 10bit (which I am sure you do) to achieve this kind of results. Not at all a criticism to you but rather a heads up to beginners reading this…Great video Teppo!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Good point!

[@kumoitojp]

I was thinking the same thing. I didn’t hear him mention log falls apart in 8 bit.

[@cyrilldoncillo3362]

Awesome videos, dude! I'm really enjoying them and I was hoping to emulate your colors if you don't mind. I've recently started using Clog3 and I'm curious if your Luts will work on Canon system. Thanks

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Yep just color correct to a normal rec709 and then apply the grading LUT and adjust strength

[@teodequina6051]

So I joined motion array just to try it out, I wouldn't suggest it to anyone. Absolutely no hate towards Matti, i've been watching his content for years. Motion array provides you with many options for s-log luts but they come in packs of 30, 60, 250..... which maybe 1 or 2 luts out of each pack look decent. I'm not back to this video contemplating on purchasing Matti's lut package lol

[@backpackingJas]

Great video, even if i dont have the a7siii yet, still awesome to learn

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks!!

[@AndreSjoberg]

Sweet! Delivered as promised, great video man :)

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Haha indeed!

[@andydavid9]

Thanks for this video man! This is possibly the most helpful vid I’ve watched in a while 👌🏼

[@JosefFoti]

Thank you for this video, it's very comprehensive even for a beginner like me who has never shot in log before. Now I'm wondering, as I'm getting my A7 IV soon and my ZV-1 also has S-log (by the way, you inspired me to get this camera), now I know that Matti's correction LUTs will work but if I get a drone someday (I'm looking at the Mini 3 Pro now), I assume I will need a different correction LUT for the drone footage? Could you show in another video, how you match footage from these different cameras together or briefly explain that? 🙂

[@Mrthenitoman]

Great video. I got Matti's luts like 2 months ago or so and they work great but his video was not as detailed as you Teppo! I got your luts as well to have some more options!!!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks for supporting!

[@TheCultureofCookery]

Teppo! Thank you so much man! This was super helpful as I've begun dabbling in colour grading. I just think the process is so arduous, so seeing your workflow was really encouraging that it didn't need to be so complicated. Appreciate it!

[@mallorydavisphotography]

Awesome video, Teppo! I'm just getting started with YT and am looking to make the switch to Final Cut Pro (currently all on iMovie... what a pain). You made this super easy to follow, great vid!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Definitelty stick to Final Cut Pro! Its great.

[@rjthedirector4970]

Thank you Teppo,awesome info im glad finally someone took the time to show step by step how to do this keep it up brother 🙏

[@MissaMelodica]

What if only some of the clips have the adjustment layer... how would you do smooth transitions?

[@Inthecutae]

After using the lut are we supposed to adjust the shadows an highlights? Thanks!

[@professorsharp1]

The visual is good. I would like to make one small suggestion, the audio is picking up at lot of the room. It’s causing it to distort when I turn it up. Try positioning the mic closer 👌 and gain down

[@kaspergaram]

I just love these workflow videos! Everyone has such a different way of editing. I feel like these give so much tiny little tips on how to improve your own workflow too. Nice one!

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Thanks Kasper

I will keep on working to be as good as you. (Is that possible?) You keep on also… 🌴🌴Aloha

[@BadHikers]

Hey, Love the videos, I just got the new M1 Max to upgrade my editing and I cant figure out how to get adjustment layers back in to apply a lut to the timeline? very frustrating. any help here?

[@MannysMadeatHome]

How can you ensure the colours look the same in different devices?

[@zencollectiongallery]

Great one thank you❤

[@paulg3388]

Hi Teppo, great video as I have been struggling with this area so thank you first of all. I have one question. You show the LUTs and how you use them, and I have the first pack and will buy your other pack now, however what do you have in the RAW to Log Conversion drop down in the Inspector panel? I assume that is set to none? If you could confirm, that would be great thanks !! Keep up the good work and don't you dare stop this channel :) we need you !!!

[@paulg3388]

ignore this Teppo, I use an Atomos Ninja and it doesn't have an S-Cinetone Gamma option yet. I contacted Atomos and apparently it is in the works. I have purchased your LUTs and already had your brothers, so will save this Video and come back to it when the Atomos is updated for S-Cinetone. thanks again for a great video !

[@ericethridgemusic]

[@TeppoHaapoja]

[@RafalGendarz]

Thanks for this. Before the convert LUT I only do the white balance. but the shadows-highlights correction I do after the conversion and color-lut - just at the end. Interestingly I was checking that today and saw it is better just at the end. But now you are doing it before the convert LUT - what do you think about it ?

[@AonghasAnderson]

Where do you download the plugin for adjustment layers?

[@CaseLucasRobinson]

Very Helpful vid

[@clareherriot]

Hello, I have filmed in P11 - can you brothers lut pack also improve that?

[@elseson_]

Hey Teppo! Thanks for the Tutorial!!! I have a technical question to your process (the 3 steps). If I film in Slog-3 and as a first step apply a LUT to get Rec709 and only later do color correction and color grading; I'm not sure about the order of the steps. Wouldn't it be better to first correct and grade the footage and as a last step add the LUT and convert to Rec709 (to preserve the dynamic range)? I ask because I thought if you add the LUT first you lose the information that the LOG-File contains? Maybe I miss here something. Does the order of steps even matter?

[@elseson_]

My bad. Just finished the tutorial and realized that you actually changed the order later!

[@Bobadillaadventurs]

Hey my friend thanks for the tips for color grading love your style shut up from Phoenix Arizona bobadilla Adventures in the house

[@ivideocreations5941]

Hey brother love this kind of content…. I have a quick question…. When you’re shooting in slog… where do you usually have your exposure meter? Over/Plus .7-1 stop over? I’m trying to shoot in log and this is what scares me…. I don’t want to introduce grain in my shot

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Usually 1-1.5 plus

[@bmldenmark]

Really great video. I learned a lot from this one :)

[@AminatheExplorer]

Thank you for your content

[@jaymills1720]

How is it to grade Sony vs Canon now that you’ve switched? I don’t have time to color grade clog3 on r6 to get it cinematic was thinking of a7s3 or fx3. Worth the switch?

[@ZekeFilms]

How come you don't shoot with S-Gamut3 with S-Log 3? I'd imagine more dynamic range from the S-Gamut 3 would be better especially considering it's the same process to get it back to a 709 colour space.

[@atamjeetsingh5258]

Thank you 🙏 got a new subscriber

[@TeppoHaapoja]

Welcome Isaac!

[@Nath.Heimberg]

Good one man, thanks! The order of the adjustments actually confuse me. Are you sure, that the effects on the effects panel are applied bottom to top? Maybe it does not matter as much but since every effect you ad goes below the ones before i always assumed it must be top down… Or did i mix up something in your process? I like how simple you make it, using the built in tools and all. Still working on my grading skills and appreciate the tutorial!

[@mdbedelsohn4307]

Thanks for your helpful video, subscribed! I saw in your list that you use the base model 16" M1PRO, do you feel it suffices for your needs, hows the performance when NR is added, transitions, effects and text? Also do you feel the Xdr display to be important in your line of work, thanks!

How do you set up your slog3? With cinetone or gamma?

[@paulg3388]

Hi again Teppo. Can I just ask if you ever use an Atomos Ninja? I have tested your way of working from this Video and it works perfectly, so thank you for that first of all. But when I introduce the Atomos Ninja, which still doesn't have the S-Cinetone option for recording, of course it all goes wrong. I just wondered if you have ever tested your method using an Atomos and whether some how you got it to work? Unlikely as I don't think I have ever seen you use one, but thought I would ask. I will continue to badger Atomos to add this profile to the Atomos Ninja in the meantime. thanks
