Need help understanding what’s going wrong in my Canon Log workflow for VFX
Picture is just for preview^ log footage linked below
Original footage is In 4k and the color checker is very easy to read *
Shot Canon Log on a Canon EOS R for VFX work. Tripod shot with a color checker in frame and exposed about +2 stops.
I’ve spent like 2 days trying tutorials/workflows and everything still ends up looking weird somehow. I’ve tried Resolve’s color checker, MBR Color Corrector in After Effects, Lumetri scopes, different LUTs/transforms, changing Premiere color management settings, etc.
At this point I genuinely can’t tell if I’m misunderstanding Canon Log, if Premiere is auto transforming stuff behind the scenes, or if my workflow is just broken somewhere.
Linking the original LOG footage in Drive because I don’t want my own corrections influencing responses. Mainly trying to get this technically correct before I start compositing VFX into it.
