Hi Jim,
I learned a lot thanks to you about FCP post video corrections. I studied the LUTS options and they are really amazing. I have one question,
Where can I find external LUT files. you mentioned in your tutorial 2 the LUT "Ocean Sun" where can I get for example that LUT file?
Thanks again for spending the time and posting these great tutorials.

Thanks Robert!  You'll find the link in the tutorial video when I first start talking about the LUTs.  Be aware that if you want to run these in FCPx you need to buy a third party plug-in first to allow you to run LUTs.   They can be used as is in DaVinci though.  The LUTs themselves are $49 from memory.

Here's a "before & after" of my cliff shoot the other day.   

Notice that in the milky/boring before shot you still have all the detail in the whites, meaning you can see different tones in the whitecaps on the water.   No question it's not crushing the blacks as there is so little contrast.   This is what you want, for it to be as bright as you can without losing detail in the whites.   This will give you the most options in post.

Now look at the "after" and you can see I pushed the colors and contrast pretty hard.   I have intentionally let the shadows go below 0,, "crushing the blacks" a bit, but at least it was left up to my decision in post, not forced that way during the shoot.

As I mentioned on another post, if you find yourself having to brighten your footage in post you are most likely underexposing, which will add a lot of noise, terrible dynamic range and in general a pretty ordinary image.

Thanks Sir Shepherd, much appreciated!   I think that's my favorite video I've shot.  Glad I pulled myself out of bed and ran out the door the moment I saw the fog!

I showed it to my wife earlier and she said the same thing "A.M.A.Z.I.N.G" . Breath taking!
Let me ask a question? When you are flying to get the crisp video, what are your settings on the inspire 1 camera? I notice when I am flying the video just doesn't seem to be all that. In no way am I trying to do what you have done but more crisp video and photos in what I am trying to achieve.

On another note: Your video truly looks like a movie trailer!!! ;) it could have been used in the movie with Owen Wilson " Behind Enemy Lines".

Thanks for that!  I'm really happy your wife appreciated it as well.  I get some enthusiasts tell me stories of showing aerial footage to their partners and just getting a "oh, drone.  Cute." response instead of appreciating just how special it is for us to be able to get artistic footage from the air!

Thanks again for the positive feedback, I truly appreciate it!

Thanks for that!   Hope flying over a graveyard doesn't constitute a crowd!  Those FAA rules aren't very specific!   LOL!
