Great footage.

Thanks Winkiel

Well Done! Love the shot between :35 to :39 Just loved how the vine like tree branch panned upward during the shot. Even a little before with the tree tops. Overall some very amazing shots. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Panda, you like my stuff so much we should have a beer sometime!  (Yes it is rainforest, but temperate, not tropical.)

Lol, it's a good idea to have a beer.

Thanks again for sharing a sample of your raw file.
Australia is definitively a beautiful country... I remember the Midnight Oil clips of my youth...
I adjusted the contrast, increased the exposure and lower the black but unfortunately, I can't reach the color and contrast quality of your final footage using Premiere Pro. Results are worst using DJI LUT.
Could you please explain roughly the steps of your workflow to convert log footage?

Fre Mo, thanks and no probs, although I don't know if my workflow will be helpful as I use FCPX. When you put an HLG file in a FCPX timeline, even a well exposed one, it will seem over exposed, at least in a Rec709 colorspace. First thing to do is pull down highlights, a blue sky is a great asset for grading, as if it is overexposed it will show a cyan banding. When you bring down highlights, the cyan comes down and is replaced by sky blue. I might also bring blacks down a little and tweak things back and forth from there, I rarely ever have to increase saturation as the 10 bit color in  HLG in amazing as is. Hope that helps.

Another winner. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Stryker, maybe it's time to quit while I'm ahead then!
