New Technicolor Profile Is Amazing at DVinfo.net

Thomas L. Phillips · April 30th, 2011, 12:49 PM

Since I downloaded it and install it on my 7D and 5Dmkii, I have not stopped playing with it. It was designed for the 5D, but I cannot tell the difference on the two camera.

I hope to have some video examples up later today. Comparing the Flat versus the New Technicolor Picture Style.

Here is the link to how to get it on your camera.

Uploaded the technicolor profile in my 7D. Shot a test video with the recommended profile settings. Color graded with the S-curve lut using Red Giant in AE CS5. I'm quite impressed with the result. Beautiful color, saturation and contrast. Definately an improvement from the flat profile I have been using. Thanks for sharing.

Check out this thread to see my first test and a few thoughts on its strengths-

Right on! I'll probably download this sometime today and test it out with my 7d. I convert my files with Neoscene which does have a very slight gamma change from the original .mov file, so I wonder how much different it'll look.

Will this work on a 550D?

I can confirm that the Technicolor profile works on the 550D/T2i just fine! Did a few quick shots around my desk and all works exactely as it should on the 550D...

How did you get it to load in the 60D? I can't get the EOS Utility to open up the Technicolor profile, it simply won't let me click on the open file icon.

I really want to test out the new technicolor profile but I'm skeptical to install it on top of magic lantern. Using a T2i. Anyone out there have any success with this?

Jeremy Pevar · May 6th, 2011, 02:29 PM

All that we're talking about here is a Picture Style. It should not in any way effect, or be effected by, Magic Lantern. The first thing to do is download the latest versions of the Canon software for your computer - EOS Utility, etc. Once you have done this, follow the simple instructions that come with the Technicolor Picture Style.

Good luck!

Really? It worked fine for me, I followed the instructions on the site and had no problems. it showed up on my camera as a user defined setting

Make sure your dial on the actual camera is turned to the C1, C2, or C3 setting that you are going to save the profile on. Also remember to save the settings in camera once its installed.

Yes, works just fine. I have used Magic Lantern with the Profile. See this vimeo post for test with t2i and 5D, in which I used the false colors to set exposure in first place:

Chris,

Curious why you are using the 5248 LUT rather than the CineStyle? Do you find it more accurate or pleasing? For me the CineSytle is on the verge of being too flat and the 5248 even more so. I'm just starting to play with this and trying to find what works best for me and would love to hear what you have found.

Thanks, Lloyd

I think some people prefer their shot to be as flat as possible during filming so that all the information of the shot - shadow details, under and overexposed areas, color are retained. They can then, during post production, play around with the contrast or saturation level to achieve the look that they want.
