@wright96d Not me personally, but I know the great team in charge of the look and grade. Amazing people, and they used some of my tools or tools I am involved with for this one and last year's.
@wright96d It wasn't an SDR LUT, they had the ability to do "normal" HDR. HDR is just a container, probably just wanted the SDR and HDR to look similar. Most HDR needs a lot of finesse. Most big shows don't do live grade and given previous shows they landed on this look.
@wright96d The previous years were totally at night with a lot more possibilities of controlled lighting so it's easier to push the HDR container. Its crazy impressive how much control that team has taken for live. That also means that not everyone is gonna like it. Seems like many did
@wright96d It was a creative decision , it's the same team as last year's and The Beyonce's December Half Time. HDR doesn't always have to be pingy. But I do know that there was a lot of variables given that it was during sunset, the overall light was a lot brighter at the beginning.
@sdw@saradietschy the crazy thing is that color management in iOS and macOS are slightly different , and its likely that Apple doesn't change any of this any time soon. They have a good reason for it but its a nightmare for all creators, there are way to make everyone happy
@saradietschy Also Timeline colorspace normally should be the log space you are grading in, its not the end of the world but some tools like the HDR wheels and other color aware tools need this. Also the other thing is that the output CST should be set to gamma 2.4 .
@wright96d@IceSolst Probably easier in terms of reducing number of values , but probably not the best to preserve the image details .It would compress things without knowing the relationship of adjacent values which is how we can balance both issues .
@stalman@Terradude66 I think eventually that should be fixed, right now I have been having issues just because libraw can't read it, so I can only use apple raw for them , or adobe . For most people it's probably fine
@Terradude66@stalman Try it, I am talking about the tiny dng vs adobe conversion . You can unpack the files using something like libraw or apple raw filter to compare
@Terradude66@stalman The issue is that adobe it's using an old version of jpgxl and also deciding to compress the demosaiced image , but tools like "tinydng" solve both, the main issue it has is that currently there is no way to convert it back to non-jpgxl.
@SadHillDevan @restlesspix @CryptoAntonioni Nice company for 2499,funny enough, your combination doesn't sound that far from combinations I have really liked to use
