Sony S-Log3 to Rec.709 LUTs
Sony S-Log3 to Rec.709 LUTs
A LUT pack designed to simplify post-production work and give you natural colors on your Sony S-Log3 footage.
Experience the full benefit of shooting in S-Log3 without the challenge of grading it in post. These LUTs are designed to give you a natural starting point for your color grading process. You can use these conversion LUTs on any footage shot in S-Log3, whether it’s interior, exterior, day or night. You can expose the footage however you feel comfortable, but we recommend a balanced exposure with skin tones being priority.
In addition to the 7 conversion LUTs, we’ve also included 7 Pre-LUT files to help you easily achieve the look you’re going for. If you like to overexpose by 2 or 3 stops, there are included LUTs that are designed to be applied before the base LUT to bring the exposure back down before the conversion is applied. There are also Pre-LUTs for wide dynamic range, shadow detail, more contrast, warm and cool. This ensures ultimate flexibility in your own personal workflow.

How to Use the LUTs
Features
THE PERFECT BALANCE
Most S-Log3 LUTs lack the technical details while others lack creative and pleasing looks, only trying to perfectly match the image output from high-end cameras. These LUTs strike the perfect balance between being technically accurate and creatively designed, giving you a natural, pleasing starting point on which to build the rest of your color grade.
SHOOT HOW YOU WANT
Don’t worry about having to learn a completely new exposure technique, just shoot how you feel comfortable. While these LUTs are calibrated to look best when shooting a properly exposed image with skin tones around middle grey, they also work if you prefer to overexpose your footage. We’ve included 2 Pre-LUTs designed to correct for overexposure by 2 and 3 stops which you can apply before the conversion LUT. Plus, if you’re slightly over or under exposed, these LUTs make it easy to get the grade you’re looking for.
FOCUS ON THE FUN STUFF
Forget worrying about how to properly grade or convert your S-Log3 footage. Just apply one of the conversion LUTs and you’re good to go. Whether you plan to export right away or apply a creative look on top, you can be confident knowing that you’re getting the best quality from your camera possible. Plus, all of our other LUTs work perfectly combined with these conversion LUTs.
Look Descriptions
SONY S-LOG3 to Rec.709
This base LUT is your main starting point. Start with this one and then test the other variations to see what works best with the footage you shot. This will be an all-around workhorse LUT and is compatible with any type of scene whether it’s bright daylight with harsh lighting, moody interiors or dark nighttime.
Sony S-Log3 to Rec.709 +1 and +2 Contrast
These LUTs have a bit more of a punch than the base LUT. These are useful in situations where you may not want to add any creative look on top and are looking for a fast, natural grade that you can easily deliver as-is.
Sony S-Log3 to Rec.709 -1 and -2 Contrast
These LUTs will retain a bit more detail in the highlights and shadows. If your footage is leaning darker or leaning brighter, these LUTs can help keep your highlights or shadows from getting too harsh.
SONY S-LOG3 to Rec.709 Warm
Great for golden hour or any scene that you want to add some warmth. It’s also useful if the white balance happens to be a bit on the cool side and you want to compensate it and bring it back to a more neutral base. The warmth also compliments skin tones and makes them pop a bit more.
SONY S-LOG3 to Rec.709 Cold
This LUT cools down your white balance and can be useful on indoor scenes shot with tungsten lighting that can tend to be too warm and harsh. You can also use it to intensify cold scenes such as snow or anything that needs to look nice and clean.
Pre-LUT -2 Stops
Corrects footage shot 2 stops overexposed (ETTR - exposed to the right). Some filmmakers prefer this shooting method to avoid noise in the shadows.
Pre-LUT -3 Stops
Corrects footage shot 3 stops overexposed, either from a creative or technical decision or some reason out of control.
Pre-LUT Cool
Applied before the base conversion LUT, this Pre-LUT cools down the footage to correct for the white balance being slightly too warm.
Pre-LUT Warm
Applied before the base conversion LUT, this Pre-LUT warms up the footage to correct for the white balance being slightly too cool.
Pre-LUT More Contrast
Increases the contrast of the footage before the main conversion LUT, resulting in higher contrast footage but maintaining the same highlight and shadow roll off of the LUT.
Pre-LUT Shadow Detail
Increases shadow detail before the main conversion LUT, resulting in slightly brighter shadows but retaining the original black point.
Pre-LUT Wide DR
This Pre-LUT increases detail in the highlights and shadows, resulting in an image that has slightly wider dynamic range and detail in the extreme highlights and shadows.
