Hi everyone. I've been using D-LogM when shooting video with both my Mini 4 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro and edit with DaVinci Resolve. I'm wondering if any of you have any tips for use of Color Management settings. Firstly, from settings, would you prefer to use Color science DaVinci YRGB, or would you be inclined to use Color science DaVinci YRGB Color Managed and check the Automatic color management box? If the latter, my 'input color space' defaults to Rec .709. I've tried that and I've also gone to the DJI > DJID-Gamut/D-Log, which I thought would have been the best option. However, the result is way overly saturated and way too contrasty. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, are you inclined to import and use the DJI LUT's when color editing? I'd like to hear about that, please. Thanx in advance for any feedback.

So for ACIS the input color should be DJI Dlog?
Since you use DVR, the best thing you can do is subscribe to Darren Mostyn on YouTube. Here is the DEFINITIVE way to process DLog-M using Resolve. He is talking about the Osmo but this applies to all DJI drones that use DLog-M

Sadly no.

Theres D-LOG and D-LogM

Most drones these days are D-logM. The Resolve input isnt for that. It tends to produce oversaturation and messed up blues when used.

Another option is use something like Leeming LUTs which convert it directly to full Rec.709 complainant Gamma 2.4
