Without seeing your actual footage, it's difficult to know what's happening with premiere. I'm unfortunately not much of an expert with premiere, but I have played with lumetri and it does allow for ISO adjustments along with LUT corrections, so this may be part of your problem. FWIW, I use EI mode extensively with Final Cut Pro, and rarely do I use a LUT to grade it. Generally adjusting the highlights, shadows and saturation is all that's needed....but the LUT DJI supplied works just fine in FCPX.
Not sure your experience with LUTs and log footage, but if it's limited, I can tell you that a LUT will work best, out of the box, if the footage is shot to a monitor applying the same LUT, otherwise there will almost always be an exposure "error" that needs to be adjusted in post. Most LOG gammas (like EI mode D-log) perform best when shot "to the right"...meaning you want to increase exposure so that brightest meaningful highlights aren't clipped, but are shifted as close to the maximum encode value (clipping point) as possible. This will give you the least noise and maximum dynamic range. This approach, however, will almost always require some exposure adjustment in post. If you want a more "out of the box LUT experience" ...you might try turning off EI mode...adjusting your exposure in "normal" mode to taste, and then turn EI mode back on. It's not how you'd optimally shoot EI mode, but in theory, it should allow you to apply DJI's LUT and get the expected result. |
