Re: Working with HLG footage
 

If you're happy with the results you are getting, then nothing more needs to be said. But that does not change the fact that HLG is not the recommended mode for post processing. Alister Chapman and I disagree about a lot of things, so when we both agree on something we are probably correct. Especially since what I posted above is also the official stance of Sony -- which is the developer of S-LOG and HLG. They ought to know what they are talking about.

What is HLG and what is it supposed to be used for? | XDCAM-USER.COM

Also, if you don't want to do any true color grading in Resolve, and instead choose to stay in an NLE such as FCPX, then you're not really getting the full bang out of S-LOG anyway, so a comparison to HLG is flawed. You think you like HLG but that does not mean S-LOG wouldn't be better if it was given a proper run. Have you used S-LOG3 and graded in Resolve?

I have graded SLog versions in Resolve and they work great.
SLog in 8-bit however is a disaster.
