Are there any demos showing a side-by-side comparison of raw footage versus post-processing by Filmbox? I'd be interested to see the difference.


You cannot watch raw footage without some transformation unfortunately.

It's better to think of RAW as pure data, just like infrared telescope capture data needs transformation to be displayed on a screen.

Displaying raw as-is means clipping the data to some range, which is a transformation in itself (and a pretty bad one).


Last time I posted someone asked this: https://qht.co/item?id=25368352

The TL;DR is that "raw footage" is sort of meaningless with video. You could make the comparison look as good or bad as you want.


It’s most definitely not “meaningless”. Your point is a semi fair one if you’re talking objective data; however, we have a general reference point and neutral space to refer to.

If you want to continue to be obtuse, you can use the same colorspace/LUT that any generic phone camera is tuned to.


You may download Filmbox Lite for free and compare it in any way you wish. We have an opinion on it based on our deep understanding of this subject matter.


> We have an opinion on it based on our deep understanding of this subject matter.

It doesn't sound that deep nor that well reasoned of an opinion. For that reason, I won't try your software nor will I recommend it to anyone.


OK!


Damn you just came in here and lost people to your product. Perhaps a good time to get off HN?


> any generic phone camera is tuned to

That's not how it works lmao


That's exactly how it works. Take your source digital image/video, run it through a neutral DCI-P3 output LUT and you have exactly what people are asking for as a "before" video.

Pretending image mastering and color correction is incomprehensible doesn't make it so.
