697Final Cut Pro User Guide
There are three primary ways to color correct ProRes RAW video in Final Cut Pro:
• Use log conversion with built-in camera LUTs: Use the automatic log conversion applied
by Final Cut Pro to color correct ProRes RAW video as if it were SDR video. Setting
library color processing to Wide Gamut HDR lets you work with ProRes RAW video as if
it were HDR video.
• Use log conversion with custom LUT effects: Use a custom LUT effect (instead of a
built-in camera LUT) to apply log conversion to ProRes RAW video, so you can color
correct it as if it were log video.
• Color correct directly without LUTs: Turn off automatic log conversion, which lets you
color correct ProRes RAW video as HDR video, whether library color processing is set to
Standard or Wide Gamut HDR.
For more information, see Apple ProRes RAW.
Use log conversion with built-in camera LUTs
With the RAW to Log Conversion setting applied, ProRes RAW files behave just like
conventional log video and can be edited the same way. Because ProRes RAW files contain
metadata that identifies the camera manufacturer, Final Cut Pro can apply the correct log
function (such as Canon Log 2, Panasonic V-Log, or Sony S-Log3) during import.
You can also manually adjust the RAW to Log Conversion setting in the General, Extended,
or Settings view of the Info inspector.
1. In Final Cut Pro, select one or more video clips recorded with ProRes RAW.
2. If the Info inspector isn’t already shown, choose Window > Show in Workspace >
Inspector, then click the Info button at the top.
