Hello, we made my own Picture Profile for our purposes, it is based off the Neutral profile, recurved to account for the unique complexities of HDR merged video's.

I will post up some demo footage later tomorrow, with 720P 60 footage at 3EV combined into 720P 30 differences compared to Technicolor Cinestyle, Marvels Advanced, and DCinemaLite at 720P 60 to 720P 30 HDR via ML 12.22.11 Unified firmware for magic lantern. I would love to see some other peoples' work and clips as well; so far we had used 'Standard' profile for all shots to get workflow down (split to PNG's, merge, convert to Cineform 4:2:2 10 bit, color grade, denoise, export), now we have a picture profile that is a bit flatter yet keeps maximum detail in the blacks, without blowing out highlights. Thus far it seems to yield a bit more latitude in depth for editing in floating 32 bit mode than DCinemaLite, which i always thought was too flat and too grainy. i played around with 7 other profiles i made today, primarily in a basement with two 800 watt lights and the horrid 18-55 (have my primes rented out).

For HDR merges, i find a lot of the very flat picture styles turn out somewhat bland, so this is pretty mild.

In any event, its night here and im charging batteries waiting on a few exports, but here is the initial picture profile for those who wish to try it. The password is 'dvxuser', all lower case.
