Log (Footage)

A type of video recording format that captures a flat, low-contrast image with minimal color saturation. This format is used to preserve as much detail as possible in highlights and shadows, giving editors maximum flexibility for color grading during post-production.Log footage might look dull and gray out of the camera, but it’s designed to be enhanced later with tools like LUTs, which bring the colors and contrast back to life. It’s particularly useful in professional workflows where achieving a specific look or mood is important.
