Log footage, corrected without a round trip

Flat or log recordings converted to a natural picture, and a grade you can steer in plain language.

How it decides

It reads the camera, not a guess

The source profile comes from the file's own metadata where it exists, so a log clip is recognised as log instead of being treated as a badly exposed one.

Correction first, look second

The conversion to a normal picture happens before any stylistic grade, which is the order a colourist works in and the reason a look applied to raw log never quite lands.

What you control

Things you can type. The editor answers to language, not menus.

  • warmer, and lift the shadows a little
  • match the second camera to the first
  • keep it neutral — no look, just correct

What it won't do

  • It won't rescue a clipped highlight. Detail the sensor never recorded can't be graded back in.
  • It won't apply a look to log footage without converting first — you'd get a muddy picture, so it corrects even if you only asked for a look.
