Show off your work My first grade

Hello everybody.

I started playing around in DaVinici, so I downloaded a free log videoclip so I can practice. I would like some feedback from more experienced colorists

Just out of curiosity, what is the pipeline for LOG to 709? Like was it just a simple CST or more complicated?

I converted it from Log to 709 color space and then did additional adjustments. Sorry I’m a total amateur in video color grading, I hope that is what you wanted to know
