I’ve been playing around with my pocket cam a lot lately and trying to get better at making the footage look less straight out of camera. For the most part, I shoot city walk clips, indoor coffee shop and travel videos.

Right now I am using my newly acquired Xtra Muse and I usually shoot 4K60. The problem is I’ve tried X Log a few times too, but I’m still figuring out the proper way to handle it in grading. From what I understand, it feels similar to DJI’s D Log M where it’s more of a flat profile than true log footage, so I’m not sure how hard I should be pushing it or what are the best common practices for such footages

For people using pocket cams, what helped you the most? Is it better exposure? ND filters? Keeping the grade simple?

For people using pocket cams for video editing, what is your best advice and what have helped you the most?

Better exposure? ND filters? Locking white balance? Keeping the grade simple?
