What is Apple Log and How to Color Grade It

Hi Evan this vid was great but slightly too quick for me to understand using davinci resolve to edit the log footage. any chance for recommendations on what codec to shoot in when using black magic, just so i can save to sep folder. also these are more home video and what not. im not a pro but would like to shoot some nice footage that i can make the most of. Also may grab your lut packs once i understand how this all works. thanks again for the video.

What minimum Iphone to achieve this apple log?

Do you recommend iphone 15 pro max over the pro?

Where does the Black Magic camera app fit in?

What does lut stand for?

Thank you. Very informative. Was wondering about this?

Can we do this in 14 pro max ??

Bro why I don’t see Apple ProRes 4444 in my Blackmagic app? Maximum Apple ProRes 422 HQ 😢

Damn that process is so painful.

been using LOG feature on my lgv30 for years, good to see companies started featuring LOG features in their phones :)

Would be nice of you would give us those luts for free like some other creators 😊

Would love to purchase! Is the 10% discount still available? Also a quick question, how do I apply Pre-LUTS in a FCPX workflow? Is it by placing multiple effect layers and stacking the LUTS in order? Thanks!

Can you give a quick rundown of which codecs you prefer for log in the Blackmagic app and why? Or your top 3?

As an old school grandpa, I like film emulation plug-ins. Dehancer, for instance, does a wonderful job, ( and helps those who are not married to a top notch colorist to do the job ;-)

Can I do Tg is on iPhone 14pro?!

Amazing! I NEED the luts. But why I can't get the 10% OFF?

Is it possible proRes 4K log color grading in iPhone with iPhone Original App?

technically, HDR colour can also be colour corrected.

I don't have the setting for changing the lut

Hi from italy, so which app you can advice me for make the colors directly with my phone? I don’t have one pc, thanks

It's actually always better to overexpose log vs underexposing. You want to exposure as bright as possible without any significant clipping. When you over-expose and bring it back down in post, you'll get way cleaner shadows and less noise. The important thing here is avoiding clipping which, as you said, is lost information that can't be brought back in post. Noisy shadows is better than no information at all. But the best way to expose LOG if to expose just under clipping. The more "over-exposed" the cleaner the image will be once corrected in post

I used your lut and it is absolutely amazing, keep on doing this work man!❤️

Wow! This is so informative. I have recently downloaded the Blackmagic Cam app on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It looks very nice. I have never used LUTs and I'd like to know how I can install it in my Blackmagic Cam app on my iPhone. Is there a video or steps that you can share? Also, 4 App ProRes versions are in that app (422 HQ, 422, 422 LT and 422 Proxy). Which one should we use? Do you have LUTs for the Blackmagic Cam app for iPhone? Thank you so much for sharing your learning through this channel. This video is very helpful.

Damn should’ve uploaded it in HDR

"now you may think the normal HDR video mode looks better however... you are wrong." haha Stoked to see log on mobile devices :)

I have DaVinci resolve Apple log no luts how can I make my footage more cinematic the more simple way

Ok, can i start using the apple log on my Iphone 14 pro max now? if yes, how?(Step by step) what to do or these whole thing is only reserved for the Iphone 15 & a phone I bought at the beginning of this year is already a dinosour?

Why Rec.2020 and not ACES? AFAIK iPhone 15 Pro's ProRes LOG captures in ACES color profile, or I'm wrong?

Are there any good editing options on the phone itself(or an ipad) to grade log footage?

Are these Apple Log LUTs works for Slog ? Or need to buy Slog package ? Thanks

thank you so much，you are the only creator who actually tell me the difference between HDR video and log video

It’s a good step forward but can’t use an iPhone to make a short film until they let you use different lens 🤔 so it’s not ready to replace DSLR gear yet

Sometimes I ask myself if my phone didn't super shappened the videos as much as it do if the footage wouldn't look better, because that's what I always notice in this videos of apple log. Overshappened looks so ugly and phony. Really hope Samsung does something like this in their next S phone. Apple really naild it.

Thank you for exactly the info I was looking for! I used to do a lot of fun projects in high school and I’m familiar with Premiere.. but it’s been so long since then and some of this is new. I’d like to do more professional like videos for personal and business projects but I need more info and recommendations. What accessories do you recommend for recording with iPhone 15 pro?

I purchased these and I gott say... worth every fkn penny. GREAT work man and thank you for offering this to us.

Is there a way to edit on the phone ?

In the Input Gamma menu I don't have Apple Log, why?

Love it Evan. I'm going to get these lots. What recommendations for exposure do you have for Apple Log?

I'm new to this. Using Davinci Resolve 18.6 (free ed), in Color page, clicking the Effects up right corner, I can only see Library tab. Settings is greyed out. I guess this is where I'm supposed to set the color space and gamma thingies. Any idea why?

good info.

In my opinion, using phones log in low light it's a bad idea. Phones have too small sensors. Any phones in night time have a lot of nose. In the studio, where you have a lot of light, 100 ISO and manual white balance do the job.

Can you use the lots to? Premiere pro?😍

I needed this

Ah yeah, Log was not supposed to be a viewable format - informs us Evan, and then proceeds to show it again and again like a dozen times! Whats the point of showing this washed out foggy mess (if not a clever trick to fool the eye and make the processed look appear "more better"? Every vlogger does it with abandon as if hoping that users will develop a LUT of their own in the brain to convert on the fly!

Now you don’t need Lumix gh5/6

Apple does have a LUT for log footage. The thing is its only available for developers. Make a dev account or turn your account to a dev account and you'll see it as a download option. It's free.

ETTR = expose to the right. Usually you overexpose LOG footage. Ofc right before clipping but with my real cameras I always shoot LOG and always overexpose (1-2 stops) and it looks amazing once graded plus, you don't get noisy shadows that make ya look like a beginner.
