Why Cine-like matters to your video
If you're newer to shooting video you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. After all, the DJI Osmo Pocket shoots great looking video straight from the box.
The Cine-like color profile is what's referred to as "flat." That is, with low levels of saturation and contrast while still retaining the important data of your subject. It's popular with folks gunning for a more cinematic feel to their video.
Shooting in a flat color profile such as this gives you more freedom in your edits to change the look and feel of your video. Whether manually adjusting levels or using LUTs (Look Up Tables) in an app like LumaFusion on the iPhone or iPad, the Cine-like color profile will give your Osmo Pocket footage its best chance.
How to enable Cine-Like on the DJI Osmo Pocket
- Turn on the Osmo Pocket.
- Press the mode button to enter video mode.
- Swipe down on the main display screen.
- Swipe left three times.
- Tap the pro button to enable pro settings.
- Tap the pro icon in the top-left corner.
- Tap on the color box to toggle Cine-like on.
There are only two color profiles to choose from at this time, so if you wish to turn off Cine-like just follow the steps above and ensure the color box displays normal.
