Darren Shearer January 18 Share January 18 I have scoured the internet to see if there was any guidance in setting the input color space of S-Log 2 with Matrix on. The usual S-Log 2 setting is way to jacked up, saturation-wise . Can anyone steer me in the right direction on this? I can normalize it manually, but thought there might be another way. Thank you!

Andy Minuth January 18 Share January 18 What does 'Matrix on' do on the camera side? Does it matrix to Rec.709 primaries? I could create a custom space for that, but we need to know which primaries are encoded in the file. Link to comment Share on other sites
Darren Shearer January 21 Author Share January 21 Hi Andy! Thanks so much for the quick reply. I got the specs from my DP, but maybe you need more. CAMERA: SONY FS7II SHOOTING MODE IS CUSTOM Menu: (User/Base Setting/Shooting Mode/Custom) RECORDING FORMAT IS HD 1920x1080 24p Menu: (User/Rec Format/Video Format/1920x1080 – 23.98p) CODEC IS XAVC-I Menu: (User/Codec/Select/X AVC-I) GAMMA IS SET TO: S-Log 2 Menu: (Paint/Gamma/Setting/ON) (Paint/Gamma/Gamma Category/S-Log2) DETAIL IS SET TO OFF Menu: (Paint/Detail/Setting/OFF) MATRIX IS SET TO CINEMA Menu: (Paint/Matrix/Setting/ON) (Paint/Matrix/Preset Select/CINEMA) (Paint/Matrix/User Matrix/OFF) If more data is needed, please let me know as I know I am not giving you specific REC 709 primaries data here. I really appreciate your help with this. We have been working Baselight into our workflow in all of our properties and this would really help. Best, Darren Link to comment Share on other sites
Andy Minuth January 23 Share January 23 Hi Darren, I read a bit about the FS7. For future projects my recommendation would be to leave the camera in 'Cine EI' mode and to record S-Log3 / S-Gamut3(.cine). Only in custom mode one can choose a log tone-curve curve in combination with a custom colour matrix. It seems like the cinema matrix is a creative tweak to 709, which desaturates the image a bit. I created a custom colour space for you. You need to put the file into /vol/.support/etc/colourspaces/ which resolves to Linux /usr/fl/etc/colourspaces Mac /Library/Application Support/FilmLight/etc/colourspaces/ It would be good to know, if that is helpful in your case.

Darren Shearer Tuesday at 01:50 AM Author Share Tuesday at 01:50 AM Hi Andy. Sorry for the tardy reply. This post eluded me somehow. Thanks so much for this! Awesome. Only thing is that I can't seem to get it to show up in the colourspace list on layer 1. I did put it into the colourspace folder and restarted Avid and Baselight. Any other ideas? I am excited to give this a go with our footage. Thanks again. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites
Andy Minuth Tuesday at 02:14 PM Share Tuesday at 02:14 PM Hi Darren, sorry to hear that. I just tested it here on my Mac again and it worked. I had to hold down 'Shift' to see all available colour spaces in the menu. If you are on Windows the correct path for the .flspace file is: C:\ProgramData\FilmLight\Colourspaces Apart from that I would double check the correct path and ensure that there are no sub-folders in the colourspaces folder.
