LOG Footage
A recording profile that captures flat, washed-out-looking video on purpose — preserving maximum dynamic range for color grading later. Apple LOG on Pro iPhones and D-Log on DJI drones are the versions you’ll meet.
LOG without a grading step looks worse than standard footage. It’s a commitment to an edit, not a magic button.
Why it matters for your listings
For signature luxury films, LOG + a good grade produces the depth standard profiles can’t. For volume listing work, skip it — speed beats latitude.
