DLog -> 709 lut -> creative lut for 709

[braunfish]

I'm a bit confused about the right color grading workflow.

Assuming that there are lut made for LOG footage and lut made for 709 footage, which is the best choise:

A- film in DLOG - >apply log to 709 dji lut -> apply a creative lut made for 709 footage
B- film in DLOG - >apply a creative lut made for log footage

thank you

It just depends on the look you want. A would be more technically correct but if B gives you the look you want then that’s the correct answer.

There’s really no right or wrong way to do it’s just what looks good to you. Likely you are gonna have to do some manual adjustments one way or the other.
