I watched this last night, it really is a well done tutorial.
Just to add my thoughts to order of effects: My new Fuji has the ability to shoot in F-Log, so my first step is to apply the corrective LUT provided by the company for that camera. This is done on the source file, before I drag it to the timeline. I’ll apply WB right after that, but I work to get that correct in camera, as much as possible. After that, color grading, mostly for contrast. I haven’t used the scopes for that purpose, so I learned something new here that will get incorporated into my next project. Lastly, I might utilize a creative LUT. Of course, I’ll add any fades and text to individual clips on the timeline. So here’s my order of appearance for the source file:
LUT (F-Log/corrective)
WB (if needed)
Color grading
LUT (creative, if desired)
That’s pretty much it for my workflow. I’m assuming Shotcut reads this top down, rather than bottom up?
Also, in some situations, I’ve found that if text appears in the middle of a clip, the contrast for that clip can be affected. This seems to happen more if a creative LUT is used, but not always.
In any event, this is great.
TL;DR: Nice video, this is what I do to my source file.
