VIVID RGB to XLHI
Well, I read that page and realized I might be getting in over my depth! :) Can I not take the XLH1 editor that I downloaded, load in the VIVID RGB from the preset I have on the XHA1 card and then remove the card and insert the card from the XLHI and click save on the My preset sidee of the application. Doesn't this application do the math that you outline in your page...or do you have any idea what the preset settings might be for achieving the VIVID RGB look on the XLH1? I am just after one preset at the moment. I just got my XLHI following the recent price drop. I have not yet tried the original XLH1 presets you have on this site. Do any of them look close to VIVID RGB. I might be happy with something that is close..

Converting presets
Hi Tim,
if you have downloaded the XLH1 Editor from my website it is possible to open a preset from the XH A1 (it shows a messages that it will convert the preset). It will be roughly converted then to a XLH1 preset (the math is similar to what i have read one year ago in this forum about the different preset schemes, though tweaking could be still necessary). If you save it then it will be saved as a XLH1 preset. Felix |
Wow, that's great Felix! I had no idea about that capability. Thanks for clarifying this -- much appreciated,

VIVID RGB for XLH!
What if any existing preset is closest to the Vivid RGB available for the XL1 H1. I am now out in the field and can no longer edit my presets. I do have the presets from Chris's list loaded onto disk....but which one to use...The camera default is pretty bland when viewed on a portable Ikan LCD which I have hooked up via an S-video cable.

Does anyone know of some "safe" settings to use when recording on the XH-A1 if you want to apply a filmic look in post?
By "safe" I mean minimising the possibility of clipping or colour aberrations. And recording the video data in such a way that all the data needed for generating the filmic look in post is recorded. |
Steven Dempsey has a preset that he designed around using the Letus Extreme / Ultimate - very flat image with neutral color tone that is designed to be manipulated in post.
I don't recall the name of it off my head though - just have it stored. mike |
It's called VIVID RGB. Just search for it.
By the way, this is the Canon XL preset thread. Wrong forum for Canon XH. |
Thanks Chris I'll search for that.
Sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I think my dyslexia is rearing its ugly head again. |
Dear Stuart,
Go to post 78 in the following link: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/canon-xh-...ry-copy-6.html |
Thanks Dan!
That's just what I was looking for :) Excellente! |
Procedure for Copying Custom Presets
Quote:
Dan, Could you please describe the “standard computer procedures” that are required to create and copy the Custom Presets to the PRESET folder. (# 10 & #11 in your 14 step procedure). I want to make sure I do this correctly. Thanks |
I Have made a movie on Custom Presets. In this movie you can see the difference between 18 Custom Presets for the Canon XL-H1. Yo can find the movie at :Canon XL-H1 Custom Presets Movie on Vimeo
