Controls Tab
The Controls tab includes settings for converting from log gamma to linear or from linear to log.
You first select the Mode and then the Log Type. For instance, choose Log to Lin from the
Mode menu, and then select BMD Film if you are compositing with a RAW clip from a
Blackmagic Design camera. Those settings output a linear image ready for compositing.
Depth
The Depth menu is used to select the color depth used to process the input image. The default
option is Auto. Auto determines the color depth based on the file format loaded. For example,
JPEG files automatically process at 8 bit because the JPEG file format does not store color
depths greater than 8. Blackmagic RAW files load at Float, etc. If the color depth of the format is
undetermined, the default depth defined in the Frame Format preferences is used.
Mode
The Mode menu offers two options: one for converting log images to linear and one for
converting linear images to logarithmic.
Log Type
The Log Type menu allows you to select the source of the file. Typically, you select the camera
used to create the image, although the Josh Pines option is specific to film scan workflows. This
menu contains the following camera log types:
Cineon
Arri Log C
BMD Film
Canon Log
Nikon N Log
Panalog
Panasonic V-Log
Red Log Film
Sony S-Log
Viper Film Stream
