editing CineStyle LUT file?

BeyondersINC

Hi guys,

I'm just wondering if there is anyone who has the LUT file for the cinestyle profile for canon DSLR's?

I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web. It is supposed to be a downloadable from their website for free, but it is untraceable.

If you have it, would you mind sharing it? (unless it has become a pay-2-get thing).

Thanks! :)

I have googled it like hell, but I can't seem to find it ANYWHERE.
I know it was on the web last year, but i think they have removed it from their official website.

I have the CineStyle profile on my camera, but I need the LUT file to bring back the contrast and etc. in premiere pro.

As far as I'm aware, there is no 'LUT' for it - as the profile doesn't really put it into a logarithmic colour space.

Using a LUT would be pointless, as you'd be essentially taking your flat profile and instantly taking away any of the 'flat' benefit (which, on an 8-bit, compressed as hell camera, I'm not sure there is as much, but anyway). You may as well have just shot with a normal picture profile if you plan to just stick a LUT on it anyway.

I'm not sure, I don't use Cinestyle as I don't shoot all that much on DSLR.

In that video, the 'LUT' footage looks identical to merely shooting with a Normal profile. I'm not sure the benefits of shooting flat on a DSLR are all that great - some people swear by it, but I'm not convinced.
The only real way to guarantee extra options in grading is to light the scene within say a 4-stop dynamic range. But then, you're leaving your decision making to post, and as a DP I'm hired to make decisions about the shots and the lighting and the look, not to simply capture as much detail as possible and leave it for post.
