- Log video footage retains full dynamic range but requires color grading (LUTs) to look normal.
- ffmpeg can apply LUTs using the lut3d filter, avoiding the need for professional video editing software.
- The command example uses Apple's hardware-accelerated H.265 encoder and a specific .cube LUT file (e.g., osmo-vivid.cube).
- A bash script is provided to batch-convert all MP4 files in a folder using the same LUT.
- LUT sidecar standards are inconsistent across camera manufacturers, complicating workflow.
