4K Slog CC wiki

This wiki builds on the workflow that was followed to create proxies using this Sony F5 Production and Post-Production workflow explained here: https://wikis.utexas.edu/display/comm/Sony+PMW+F5+4K+Recording+to+SxS+cards+and+Adobe+Premiere+Project+Setup
When you're done editing and want to Reconnect to the 4K media, uncheck the "Enable proxies" under the "Premiere Pro CC > Preferences > Media..." menu check box Click OK
To check that the files are being referenced properly to the 4K media you can "right click" on the file in the Project Window and choose "Reveal in Finder" Will now show you that the files are linked to the XDROOT folder using the 4K native data that you backed up off the Sony F5 SXS card Now you can color correct your 4K Slog 3 footage
In order to properly "grade" or color correct the footage you must apply a special LUT .cube file to convert the color space from log to Rec.709 or Slog3 Cine.	Download the Slog LUT Here You will need to import this into Premiere
Then after the .zip file downloads unzip it by double clicking
This folder contains the file you'll need
Select the clip you want to adjust in the timeline
Click on the color tab
Click on Lumetri Color >Basic Correction
Click on Input LUT and then click on the drop down
Choose Browse
Navigate to the folder containing the LUT SonyLookProfiles_SLog3_SGamut3Cine and click on Open
In that folder find the Sony SLog3 profile you'd like to apply. "LC-709" is closest comparable to Rec.709, SLog Cine is slightly different. Try both to determine which is best for the look of your project.
Once the LUT is chosen you can either adjust the footage's white balance, tint (warm/cold equivalent to Kelvin values), and various light adjustments inside the Effects panel itself
Next click "Color Wheels" section this color workspace includes options to fix shadows, highlights, and midtones
Click on Vignette this will give you the ability to apply and customize a vignette on your footage
To explain a Vignette it's a circle that highlights a portion of the image. This is a very common and professional color correction technique. Here is an exaggerated look at a vignette. You can place the circle in the middle or move it to highlight a portion of the image and then manipulate it.
Same image but with a customized vignette to look more subtle.
The controls are intuitive in what they do adjust to what you like. Like all premire controls you can turn them off and on by clicking the checkbox in the upper right.
