Hi

Trying to find a good working node tree for my OA5 MTB footage. Uploaded the same clip three times, one with raw Log footage, one where only the DJI LUT has been applied and one with LUT+extra grading.

LOG


LUT


Graded


YT compression are eating these up. Tried adding a bit of motion blur on the sides in the last clip to make it look faster and save some bits for the center but don't think it's noticable.
As always a battle between choppy video and terrible stabilisation. 1/200s seems OK so far. Camera mounted to the chest and will try a chin mount next time, that would probably benefit from a FOV boost lens as the camera moves forward a bit.

D-Log M 10bit
WB 5500k
Texture: -2
NR: -2
4k30
1/200s
100-1600 iso
RockSteady
Ultra wide

Any tips how to make this better?

Really like the colour grading.   

The color grading works out really well.  That's a challenging trail with some exhilarating footage.  Superb job on this video.  

Pretty amazing ride

Thanks. Many iterations behind it, and more to come I guess.

It's a fun one with nice balance between flow and easy tech.

Thank you. The soft light makes it easier to grade, even though it was a bit dark in the forest. Using the same node tree in a brightly lit clip don't work as good, but will tweak a bit more.

This are indeed very good bike riders. -very cool and your footage shows the action, the speed…very impressive, very narrow .  I think I would have fallen from my MTB 10 times or started some brutal breaking manoeuvres to come down save…

You're very welcome.  Keep up the great work and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
