How to grade to look like RAW?

[Yean Loon]

Anyone got any suggestions on how i can grade my footage to look like the RAW image you see while shooting?

 

[Jake Wilganowski]

desaturate, lower contrast

 

[Yean Loon]

tried that but it's not close to what i see in RAW mode in camera.

 

[Mike P.]

Set it to REDlogFilm instead of RedGamma2 or 3?

 

[Yean Loon]

Redlogfilm is not really a RAW look.

 

[Dan Kanes]

In redcine X go into advanced and turn on all looks...can't remember the exact setting but ill pull it up in a bit.

Why would you want to do this though?

 

[Bob Gundu]

Is this some kind of riddle?

 

[Jason Comparetto]

Damnit not another RAW riddle. THis is the 3rd one I've heard today, and I can't Re-solve ANY of them!

Yean,

Extremely silly suggestion but here goes: you can try to get some of the footage back onto your SSD, plug it into your camera, bring the camera to Iceberg and playback the footage on SSD on their monitor, switch to "raw view" and say to colorist, "Make it look like that". hehe...

ISO: 320
Gamma: RG2 I guess (never use it. Used to be RedGamma)
WB: 5600
Tint: 0

Maybe sat down to 0,8 (just A/B with the tap from the cam and the grading suite...

1: Record in RAW
2: Don't do any coloring
3:export

The "RAW" setting in camera is not a metadatasetting which is saved with the file...

So this doesn't work.

"RAW"view, is also nothing like the RAW signal...

 

[Yean Loon]

Precisely, Gunleik. Just felt that the RAW look suits the film i'm doing quite well.

Thanks for the suggestion Derrick. I did think about that. But i'm not coloring at Iceberg.

Anyone else?

Are you finishing in HD? If so - you can just play the footage in camera wile monitoring RAW and record the uncompressed SDI signal on a 10-bit capture card...
This also eliminates the need for a RED ROCKET.... ;o)

You could go in redcine X

preferences

General

show advanced cocontrols

you now have more options in your color space and gamma space selector including camera rgb

But I think it isn't Camera RGB anymore, even though that was the original RAW look.

We cannot have an unmatrixedc image anymore, not even in "RAW" mode...

in resolve... if you select red default ...i felt i am seeing what i saw in cameras raw mode..i guess

 

[paulherrin]

i'm going to tell you the secret magic word... colorist.

 

[Pablo Moreno]

Isn't RAW, what the sensor "sees" before the debayering? ( chessboard pattern? )

Redcolor - Redlogfilm or any of the gammas, is just the result of the debayering, ( correct me if I'am wrong )

Actually, you can simulate that easily, even if it wasn't shot on Red, like below..

Of course, that doesn't make it necessarily, a Raw file!..

 

[Derrick Lu]

I believe what Yean meant was the "look" he gets when he switch to "raw view" mode on his camera. It's not exactly the redlogfilm/redcolor look.
