I recently got a project that was shot on the Canon c300 in Canon log. I transcoded the footage and have been working with it. However, the footage does not look like flat washed out log footage. This doesnt really bother me, but Im trying to figure out what I did to make it look more "colored". Is MC automatically doing something to the footage? Is some sort of LUT automatically applied? Very confusing.

Im using MC 7. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Check Source setting on one of the clips. Any color transformations applied?

I have seen Canon footage shot with the Canon C-Log LUT that has been played on location and the camera settings adjusted to part unwind the LUT affect (The director didn't realise the footgae should look flat) so the end result was basically a mess.

Hi thanks so much for your answer. However, I am curious, what camera settings specifically are you talking about that could unwind the LUT affect. I thoguht when using the Canon log setting, it means the only thing adjustable is the iso and color temp.  I will pass any insight you have off to our DP. 

Thanks,

Thats true if the camera is set for the CP CINEMA Locked mode. But you can also have the camera set to C8 Cinema mode which does allow adjustment of all the otehr camera settings.
