Developed specifically for Sony's S-LOG2 color profile, users can harness the power of more dynamic range for the highest quality playback possible. The Elektra bundle offers a creative range of Look Up Tables or “LUTs” to fit the mood and themes of any video project. BEAUTIFUL SONY FOOTAGE RENEGADE 2 IS A COLLECTION OF LUTS MADE FOR S-LOG 2 Add cinematic color grades to your Sony footage in one easy step. Hi there, this is Ashish Chauhan from Ash-Vir Creations in this post I’m going to give you S-Log LUTs of 2020 for free which I personally handcrafted for you. Apart from this, I have also shown you how to apply these LUTs in your videos in adobe after effect, adobe premiere pro and make your videos look cinematic, and also you can apply this.

The Sony SLog 2 LUTs work with most cameras in the Sony lineup. LUT files are compatible with just about every video editing software, so you no longer have to worry about which pack to match with your software. We have customized each LUT to work with different shooting situations. You will get 9 LUTs which I created in the process of experimenting variously to shoot clear images with S-Log. I shot in many different situation day to night to create this LUTs and looks very clean and can feels spring when applying it to footage like you saw in the sample video.
Special offer: Download EOSHD Pro Color 3.0 + Pro LOG together for just $29.99 ($49.99)
EOSHD Pro LOG is a new flat film gamma profile which brings EOSHD Pro Color optimisations to LOG format footage.
It is compatible with a range of LUTs in post production, in addition there are 25 EOSHD Film Looks (LUTs) included, designed especially for Pro LOG.
Also included is an optimised S-LOG 2 profile and further LUTs designed exclusively by EOSHD for all S-LOG 2 footage!
A flat film gamma profile, Pro LOG is easier to grade than S-LOG and works at low ISO sensitive such as ISO 200, without the upper-minimum ISO limitations of S-LOG (which can sometimes be as high as ISO 3200).
Footage shot with EOSHD Pro LOG can be pushed and pulled in post, with meaningful exposure changes and white balance adjustments. You can also match colour from a Canon camera (Canon Faithful) using a special LUT included with the download.
There are two film gamma profiles included with EOSHD Pro LOG. “Pro LOG Cinema” and “Pro LOG S”. The “Cinema” profile has a similar gamma curve to C-LOG. It uses a colour gamut that doesn’t need to be expertly graded and yet it’s compatible with a range of LUTs including ones designed to be used with Canon LOG.
The second profile is an optimised version of S-LOG 2 with a different colour science, incorporating some of the benefits of EOSHD Pro Color with the benefits of S-LOG 2’s extremely wide dynamic range.
Advantages of Pro LOG Cinema
- Works at any ISO sensitivity (for example ISO 200)
- Easier to grade than S-LOG2
- Similar curve to C-LOG and compatible with LUTs designed for Canon LOG
- Enables use of exclusive EOSHD Film Looks only available with Pro LOG
- Includes advantages of EOSHD Pro Colour, such as reduced colour clipping (i.e. prevents blue highlights turning turquoise of green), deeper and truer reds and better skin-tones
- Significantly decreased banding compared to S-LOG3
Advantages of Pro LOG S
- Maximum dynamic range
- A more forgiving colour gamut than Sony’s default S-LOG profiles
- Based on SLOG-2 gamma, therefore works with any LUT designed for S-LOG2
- Enables use of EOSHD Film Looks for S-LOG 2 supplied with this guide
- Includes advantages of EOSHD Pro Colour, but the final colour depends heavily on the LUT used in post.
EOSHD Film Looks
Pro LOG includes 25 LUT files for you to use in your edit or in your colour grading software, along with full instructions.
These film looks are developed exclusively by EOSHD and work with Pro LOG Cinema, Pro LOG S and S-LOG 2 footage.
These provide a wealth of options to suit a broad range of footage and exposures, including:
- Cinema 78 / 98 / 2016 – inspired by the colour grading fashion of each decade from film to high-end digital cinema
- Faithful – designed to match Sony cameras with Canon in terms of contrast and colour
- NightShoot – designed for low light shooting with creamy shadows and clean high ISOs
- Highlight Priority – optimise shots with bright highlights against a dark background
- Match Pro Color – to match footage shot with EOSHD Pro Color straight-out-of-camera
- Chrome – a classic cinematic look, similar to EOSHD Chrome for Canon LOG
- Scarlett – a Fuji velvia style film profile for extra punch and warm, vivid colours
- Teal/Orange – maintains cool tones and warm tones in one shot, superb in mixed lighting conditions
- WideDR – maximises dynamic range for scenes that need it!
- Plus 16 more!

Using Picture Profile presets with S-Log
When shooting in S-Log, use Picture Profile presets PP7, PP8, or PP9.
The PP7 preset combines S-Gamut and S-Log2, while PP8 is S-Gamut3.cine/S-Log3 and PP9 is S-Gamut3/S-Log3. Here, select PP7 (S-Gamut/S-Log2) and leave the preset details as-is. A distinction of this Picture Profile, intended for subsequent color grading, is a gamma broad enough for movie production.

Why Log video looks faded and low-contrast
Often, gamuts used in professional video applications conform to ITU-R BT.709 (Rec. 709), established for HDTVs. This is illustrated below.
Here, the curved color space represents the range of human vision. The gamut of Rec. 709 is much narrower. In contrast, it is easy to appreciate how much broader S-Gamuts used in S-Log recording are.
When viewed on a screen designed for Rec. 709, Log video lacks contrast because the screen cannot display the full gamut.
The ITU-R BT.2020 gamut outlined in green can be reproduced by 4K equipment. This shows how much broader your creative palette is in 4K than in HD.

Easily reproducing colors on Rec. 709 screens with 3D LUTs
Optimal display of Log video on Rec. 709 screens requires color grading, when you will use lookup tables (LUTs). This conversion prepares the material for display on Rec. 709 screens.
Unlike 1D LUTs, which mainly adjust luminance, 3D LUTs control hue, saturation, and brightness of each RGB color. LUTs simplify color grading, because without them, instant S-Log video display matching the gamut of Rec. 709 screens would be difficult as you adjust tone curves, hue, saturation, and other details two-dimensionally.
When ILCE-7SM3 has recorded movies in the [S-Log3] gamma and S-Gamut3.Cine under Color Mode or S-Gamut3 under Color Mode, you can use this LUT.
Using Gamma Display Assist and external monitors
To make it easier to check S-Log video on a Rec. 709 screen as you shoot, use Gamma Display Assist to apply LUTs. The contrast of viewfinder and monitor display will look as if you were not shooting in S-Log. In this way, Gamma Display Assist enables precise camerawork, whether you are checking subjects or adjusting the focus.
You can also take advantage of LUT-compatible external monitors, which are now more common.

When shooting in S-Log, you can choose S-Log2 or S-Log3. Colors are reproduced differently depending on your choice, so use the right option for your workflow.
In this video, you can see how S-Log2 colors differ from those of S-Log3.
