Hey dji people. Drone newbie here.
Im going to be shooting video for a short film with my mavic pro platinum. The scene will be an action-y sequence shot during the day. Not sure how sunny it will be of course.
This footage will be cut together with the primary camera. (A canon dslr if that matters) Obviously the desired result is for the two different footages to look as similar as possible.
So yeah, the question is what settings on the drone will give me the most options in post to colormatch the footage from the other camera.
Ive watched a couple different videos on youtube where they are comparing d-cinelike and d-log. I didnt get a lot out of them. But then again im pretty new to this.
Just wondering if anyone here could suggest what settings or profile to use.
thanks.

Youre best best is to shoot some test footage from both cameras and test colour grading them to match before the big shoot.

Its a foot chase action scene involving several people. Blank guns and some hand to hand fighting will be involved. Im NOT choreographing it so I dont know specifics.  Gonna capture footage with a couple gh5s I believe. Additionally want some overhead and some sweeping around the scene footage drone footage.
Im guessing that maybe only 5% total of the scene will be from the drone. I just want the footage to match.
