In this episode, we tackle a real-world challenge: color grading Canon footage when the original profile is unknown. Using footage submitted by a user, we walk through the process of analyzing the log characteristics, experimenting with BaseLUTs, and manually adjusting exposure, white balance, and color to craft a beautiful, balanced look.
Tools Used:
DaVinci Resolve
Gamut BaseLUTs (Canon Log, Canon Log 3, EK Pack)
Gamut Boost
Hue vs Hue & Luma curves
📌 What You'll Learn:
How to identify Canon Log footage from scopes alone
When to use old vs. current LUTs (and why Canon Log 3 is superior)
Manual color grading workflow: exposure, WB, primary, and creative look
Fixing mixed lighting and problem highlights
Using Gamut Boost and creative LUTs for polish
