Hey guys, I've been looking at my footage in 10bit DLOGm and I've been trying to manually grade it with the Lumetri Color Panel in Premiere and I have yet to be able to get an image I am satisfied with. Are there any LUTs available for the Mavic 2 or any LUTs that would work for it?
 
Jamal, I got your 5 LUT set for Mavic 2 and they won't load in FCPX. I sent you a note from your website with the error message. Can you take a look?

Thanks for the quick turnaround fixing this Jamal. Yes, the LUTs work with FCPX now. And a nice overall job with these, balancing color and contrast. Forest Fresh is working well for my current project.
 
Ground Control (better starting point?) and Mauro so far (more of a finished look).
I wouldnt bother buying any, especially this early on.
DJI are looking into releasing a real one soon.
 
I've been trying LUTs intended for Sony SLOG2 with quite good results.
There's a free pack available from here
LOG ⇄ 709 LUTs Conversion Pack (Free) by IWLTBAP
I find SLOG2 version 2 and Version 3 worked best with quick test from yesterday, it will depend on the lighting while recording.

Default LOG from M2P is rather soft, you will need sharpening, it helps a lot to up shapen to +1 when recording.
Leave contrast and saturation on zero.
Set your colour balance manually either sunny/cloudy or manually around 5800.

Using the normal colour setting it looks better to me with contrast and saturation on -2
Again it will depend on the day and your preference.
LOG gives potentially best results over a wide range of conditions.
 
What settings are you using to render H265? I attempted this earlier and it took an hour for a 30 second clip
 
I'm actually rendering into h.264, but using 265 wasn't especially slow(er).
It's just at present my laptop struggles to play it and I like to confirm a video looks OK on a second machine.
As I see it you still have the HEVC advantage when editing.
I don't suppose youtube plays the file in h.265 anyway.
