I set my GoPro to flat color and any WB other than Native. I've been experimenting with DaVinci Color Management since I was unable to get the ACES Transform to work. With that said, my recommendation is to use HLG instead of D-Log. RikshaDriver wrote:Probably create a separate thread for the D-Log discussions and leave this for GoPro. This is where Resolve really shines over other applications like Premiere where LUTs are really the only option.Īny way, I'll add the Rec.709 Scene ProTune transforms to github soon.
LUTs have a use, but can't stand up to the accuracy of technical transforms. Unfortunately the first thing that tends to get recommended is a LUT which is like bringing a knife to a gunfight. Thankfully in Resolve you also have Resolve Color Management in addition to ACES. You're heading in the right direction though given you'd like to start off from a standard base. ProTune Flat (a Gamma curve) with Native (Color Space) is virtually the same across the GoPro range.
Having said that he did say he would created one in the next few weeks. Lrose69 wrote:Thanks for that! After posting earlier today I found his site and actually messaged as he doesn't yet have a LUT for the Hero 9 which I'm mostly using. We'll have to swap mtb rides and trails stories some time Oh, and you're just down the road from me (Newbury).
I have been hand grading and doing fine with that (quite enjoy it actually), but if I want to use some LUT looks I see online they have to start from a known point and that often appears to be Rec. Thanks for that! After posting earlier today I found his site and actually messaged as he doesn't yet have a LUT for the Hero 9 which I'm mostly using. So sometimes it's a great LUT for a GoPro, other times not so much, and I often choose to hand-grade the output instead, especially for darker footage. I find the Leeming LUTS generally need plenty of light in the shot - he recommends ETTR, but that's not really an option on a GoPro. Colour must be FLAT and white balance NATIVE otherwise things get weird pretty quickly. Have a look at the setup guide for the appropriate LUT for your GoPro model. However Leeming LUTS are definitely picky about the camera settings and exposure. I often use them myself to get GoPro 8 Protune flat to Rec 709 for YouTube.
The Leeming Pro range have a couple of GoPro LUTS which are easily added to Resolve. Then copy that grade to to the other shots as a base point to work from.īobosola wrote:Fellow mountain-biking GoPro user here.
Just treat it like a LOG grade (plenty of Resolve tutorials out there for basic LOG grading) and you can get it looking decent in no time. GoPro flat can usually be hand-graded fairly easily though.
