ok so i finally got comfortable enough on the sticks to do a full run through the woods without crashing and actually captured something i want to show people but the color grade is driving me insane. shot it on my naked gopro in protune and i just cant get it to look right in premiere, everythign looks either too washed out or overcorrected and weird

the flying itself i think is ok, not like pro level obvously but its smooth enough. my main issue is the footage just doesnt look like what i see in other peoples edits. is it a lut thing or am i doing something fundamentally dumb in the export settings

what lut are you using? a lot of people just slap on a random lut they downloaded and wonder why it looks off — if you shot in a flat profile you need a lut designed for that specific profile not just any cinematic lut. thats probably it honestly

i had the same problem for ages. for me it turned out i had the wrong color space set in premiere, it was set to rec709 when it should have been something else i dont fully remember the exact setting. there are some decent youtube tutorials specifically for gopro protune grading that actually walk through the whole sequence setup, thats what finally clicked for me. the flying sounds sick by the way, trees are hard
