Just FYI:
The editor had some trouble matching these profiles in the end.
The thing is that when filming with different cameras you should nail your exposure exactly the same, otherwise the colors drift. I found in Sony the highs are yellow and the lows are blue.
Anyway, the editor preferred we go back to S-log 2, and that he will color grade it anyway. So that is where we are now.
If you are using this profile, please let me know how it works for you!
All the best!

OK – after testing, grading in the computer, and emulating the results in the Picture Profile menu – HERE IS MY NEW PP:
Gamma: Cine4
Color mode/matrix: Pro
Saturation: +5
Black level: -5 on the mirrorless, -10 on the FS5
All the rest is as default.
It looks the exact same on all cameras, carries enormous dynamic range, while being ready to use and good looking without grading.
Hope this helps you! If I change it after use in the field I’ll let you guys know.

Thanks for your help.
I’ve been doing what you suggest in this show for a few years, S-log 2 and a LUT, but the S-log isn’t identical, and we want a profile that does the color matching in advance, if we can (this may fail and we will return to S-log).
Plus – if we leave S-log we’ll get a cleaner image.
Currently we over expose to compensate for it, but the different camera operators don’t nail the over exposure the same. that also causes issues.
As for dynamic range – of course I won’t get MAXIMUM dynamic range if I abandon S-log, what I mean is the maximum possible AS LONG AS the image still looks good out of the camera. There are multiple options to do that, some with more and some with less dynamic range. I need the ones with more.
I tried working with the “Still” color profile once, with a few tweets. It did look great, but it is an especially low dynamic range profile, and we couldn’t get images of both sun and shade in the same frame at all. That’s too much.

As we test, I’ll try your idea with the vectroscopes – that’s a good one. Thanks!

I have a similar issue. I am working with Avid 8.3 and I have a timeline in which one of the clips reads “Transcoding failed” in Pluraleyes 3.1
Help…

Thanks for the try, but it’s not helping. Same error.
