SESSION DESCRIPTION

High Dynamic Range (HDR), RAW, sLog, vLog, HDR, 10-bit, 12-bit…

With all these different high-end video formats, it’s easy to get confused. How do you work with them in Final Cut Pro X?

Larry Jordan was asking himself those same questions. So, he borrowed some cameras to experiment with, then shared what he learned. His goals for this session are to explain:

  • Key definitions and core concepts behind HDR media
  • Tips for color grading media in FCP X
  • Demonstrate how to work with RAW, log and ProRes footage in FCP X
  • Showcase key tools you need to know to successfully use HDR media

If you want to learn how to make your images look better, want to learn more about these high-end formats or have been working with HDR for a while and still have questions, this session is for you.
