Can i edit together scenes shot with different gamma?

[Baluardo]

Hi all,

I came to the conclusion that, when shooting indoors and lighting on a low (i mean low) budget, it's better to use the CINELIKE_V gamma setting, as using the other settings I always get a VERY flat contrast and I always have to fix it in post..

on the other hand, when shooting outdoors, CINELIKE and CINELIKE_D can be comfortably used, as there will generally be a lot of contrast anyway.

- for a new project, I'm thinking to combine indoor scenes shot in CINELIKE_V and outdoor scenes shot in CINELIKE_D. Would they look too different when put together in the same film? I just want a film-for-TV kind of look.

thx,
Andrea

That sould be fine, as long as they are separate scenes. You wouldn't want to cut between two indoors shots with different gamma, but indoor and outdoor with different gamma makes a lot of sense.

In fact, I wish I had thought of this. I shot an action/adventure film that has scenes outdoor and indoor, and I shot tests to try to find a single set of settings to fit the whole film, and ended up using regular CINELIKE. Well, in the end, the interiors looked great, but the exteriors could have benefited by some more dynamic range.
