S-LOG2/S-Gamut3.cine footage - What input colour space to use?

[jonathan_9608]

Footage shot on an Sony a7iii. Auto-detect does not read the log footage so I am trying to apply a manual override. However there is no option for the s-log2 gamma with the s-gamut3.cine colour space. The only available options for Sony are:

Sony S-Log/S-Gamut (new)
Sony S-Log2/S-Gamut (new)
Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3 (new)
Sony S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine (new)

Trying to determine which option would be best to use? Or if I am better off applying a LUT instead?

Additionally, is there a way to choose slog-2 as the input gamma & s-gamut3.cine as the input colour space separately?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the message. I've asked the team to take a look at your case. I hope to get you a response shortly. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks,
Kevin

In this case, you should use a LUT.  We don't provide the ability to choose a separate color and gamma.

@jonathan_9608 I'm a bit curious: what is appealing to you about the combation of S-Log2 and S-Gamut3.Cine? Sony usually recommends S-Log3 but suggests that S-Log2 can be better for handling particuarly bright scenes. 

As Francis pointed out, we don't yet have the ability mix and match color spaces and transfer functions.
