I shoot with a Canon R6 Mark II and record in C-Log3. I’ve tried Canon’s official LUTs and experimented with different color spaces like Rec.709, Rec.2020, and Cinema Gamut.
Most of my footage is of animals such as; deer, bears, dogs, ducks, geese, bobcats, etc. all shot in 4K. These videos are just for fun, and I like to share some of them on Instagram Reels and TikTok.
That said, I’ve been struggling to get a good color grade. The few clips I’ve managed to shoot and grade just feel off, colors look strange or flat, and I can’t seem to get that vibrant, natural look. For those working with Canon C-Log3:
-
Do you rely on Canon’s LUTs or use custom ones?
-
Do you manually convert to Rec.709 or use a LUT as a base?
-
What color space and gamma settings do you find give the best results?
-
Any tips for making colors pop in a realistic way?
Would really appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I just got the Canon R6 (Upgraded from EOS R) and wanted to give Log a try. But I always had a hard time finding a LUT for the footage.
Has anyone had some experience with some LUTS?
Hey team,
I thought I'd get fancy with my Canon R6 Mk II and switched on CLog3 for the first time. (Color space was set to BT.709 from what I can tell)
I'm now trying to color grade this in Premiere Pro and struggling.
I was under the impression the first step was a Basic LUT and I applied the CLog3 to Rec.709 LUT I got straight from Canon.
This gives me overly saturated reds and I'm really struggling to bring this back in and make it look right. (see screenshot: on the left, a shot with Clog off, on the right Clog on and LUT applied)
What am I doing wrong? I'm new to this and would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Hey Canon clog users. My name is Alex and I am looking for a help on color grading my Clog footage from my R6 mark II. I saw this youtube video from a guy and its was one of my favorite grade on the internet for this camera. Punchy colors, great skin tones. Is anyone here know where I can buy this kind of luts? I believe its without conversation to rec709, probably on layer drag and drop and some basic adjustments. Before judging me, I am adjusting my WB correctly, I am exposing correctly, I tried million different ways and expensive luts but I cannot get 10% near his grade and punchy colors. Thanks in advance.
