So one of the things I have talked about before on my channel is using CineMatch to match
colour profiles and camera sensors from between different cameras. So
basically just matching the footage that you shoot from one camera
to another. So what I'm going to do is go through and show you the workflow that I
would use in order to basically do that, match the footage from the a7 III to the a7s III.
I've already brought two clips onto the timeline so I'm using the a7s III on the top layer and the
a7 III on the bottom layer, and just so that you guys can easily see the difference I'm just gonna
do a split-screen, so I'm gonna put the a7s 3 on the left and i'll put the a7 iii on the right
and the first thing that you want to do is go and find CineMatch,
so if you go to the Effects panel and start typing in CineMatch you can just drop it onto both clips.
And so the first thing I'm going to do is
set my target camera for both cameras and then I'm going to apply a Rec709 transformation so
that you can see the difference between the two clips. So first one a7 iii let me just go and
choose my source camera from here, so finding the sony a7 III and I shot in SLog2, that one,
and then I'm going to do the same thing for, and then sorry, just apply rec709 to that clip.
I'm going to do the same thing for the a7s III so I'm going to select that sony, three
and I shot in SLog3, that one, and then also apply the rec709 over that one. So already
it's kind of colour corrected but the a7s, the a7 III is a little bit more
exposed so I'm just going to bring the exposure down so it kind of matches the a7 III,
the a7s III footage – too many a7s and threes - so yeah bring it down a bit. So once I've kind
of just adjusted the exposure I would then go to my target setting, my target camera setting and
set the a7 III to match the a7s III footage so I'm going to choose the a7s III from this
target settings and set it to the same settings that my, that I shot with, with the a7s III.
So you might have been able to see there was a little jump in the
skin tones, there was a little jump in the skin tones here so it's basically started,
started trying to match the footage and what I'm also going to do is just bring the temperature
down a little bit because the one on the the a7 III footage looks a little bit warm
so that's one of the cool things that you can do as well you can just further tweak it to
try and match it a little bit better so once you've done that that's pretty much all you need
to do apart from just going in and tweaking it If you, if you think that it just needs
a little bit more matching but after that then I would go and I just grab an adjustment layer,
drop it over the top and this is where I would then apply FilmConvert, So if you go back up
to the Effects panel, grab FilmConvert, FilmConvert Nitrate, drop that on the top
and it's already applied it just using the default camera settings,
but because we already have our camera settings I'm gonna go in and choose sony
A7s III. So if you were just colour grading and you hadn't applied rec 709 you would go
in and choose the colour profile that you shot the footage in but because I've already applied
rec 709 you want to choose the rec 709 profile. So hit apply and then that drops it on for you
and then from here it's just a case of just going through and
basically grading the footage how you want it to look. You can choose different film stocks here
and just see what you, kind of, want to do. So I'm just going to stick with the first one KD5207 Vis3
and just start playing around with the look, maybe just bring that down a little bit.
I could even just change this
temperature, that looks better.
And you've got some colour correction settings in here as well so you can adjust things
like your shadows, midtones, highlights, the saturation, you've got curves, you've got levels,
and the other thing is is that you can also generate a 3D LUT so if you know
that this is the look that you're going to use a lot for this camera setting then you
can actually just generate that LUT and then you can just bring it in and just drop it on
instead of having to go through this entire process every single time, so
this is without FilmConvert, this is with FilmConvert and again, I've kind of taken,
I've just realized I've taken the film off so yeah let me just
tweak it a little bit more how I want it to look.
So before FilmConvert, after FilmConvert, and it just gives the footage a really nice,
a really nice film look.
So do go and check out CineMatch, if you use the code TAMARAG you will get a 10% discount
so that also works for both Cinematch and FilmConvert, which are both great plugins
and as you've seen that's what I use for my entire workflow. So i hope you
found the video useful if you do, give it a like and if you have any questions
or anything just drop them in the comments but thanks for watching.
