### Convert the log footage  0:00

1. [ 0:02 S-Log3 footage looks flat until it is converted for display. ](#t=2)
2. [ 0:05 Set Footage to the camera profile to convert it to Rec.709 colour. ](#t=5)

### Compare output curves  0:10

1. [ 0:10 Output on Gamma 2.4 encodes for a display, so the midtones rise on the waveform. ](#t=10)
2. [ 0:14 sRGB, for computer screens, lands between the two. ](#t=14)
3. [ 0:18 Rec.709, the default, matches how cameras and phones encode video. ](#t=18)

### Export video, still and LUT  0:22

1. [ 0:22 In Export, choose Format, Size and Quality for the video. ](#t=22)
2. [ 0:28 Still image saves the current frame as a PNG for checking on other screens. ](#t=28)
3. [ 0:33 The LUT (.cube) tab saves the grade itself as a LUT, here at 33 points. ](#t=33)
