Jon, everything is explained here:

hope that helps!

once i learned how to use the canon softwares, i ended up making my own preset that is somewhere between standard and superflat. I found that superflat tended to give weird vertical banding if light was too low. Found a nice compromise and am shooting with my own preset now and getting great results!

Here are a couple of grabs from my bands recording session from this weekend. Stills taken from 7D video with the stock 18-135 lens. Used custom profile but very similar to super flat, just minor adjustment to make it less extreme.

Then in post, just crushed the blacks a little bit, slightly boosted the saturation and added a slight sharpening
