Creating Apple Log to RED PowerGrade
To create the most precise conversion PowerGrade for Apple Log, we shot side-by-side tests with the RED Komodo-X and iPhone 16 Pro under a wide range of lighting conditions, from controlled studio setups to natural outdoor scenes.
By capturing identical setups with both cameras, and using ColorChecker charts on set, we were able to deeply analyze and match RED’s tonal response, color science, and dynamic roll-off, directly onto Apple Log footage.
This extensive testing resulted in a true technical PowerGrade that transforms Apple Log into RED Log3G10, giving iPhone footage the rich texture and cinematic color of a RED image.

Node Tree Overview
RGB Channel Balancer
Corrects imbalances between R, G, B channels before linearization. Ensures neutral channel balance.
Apple Log to Linear
Converts Apple Log into a wide-gamut linear space for technical operations.
Matrix
Corrects the iPhone’s spectral signature to better align with RED’s color science.
Exposure/Balance
Free node for adjusting exposure and white balance before conversion.
Linear to RED Log3G10
Converts the linearized iPhone image into REDWideGamutRGB / Log3G10, mimicking the RED pipeline.
Contrast
Recreates RED-like natural contrast curve and highlight/shadow roll-off.
Chromatic Alignment
Aligns hues and saturation to RED’s chromatic response.
Custom: look node
Creative grading space. Apply custom looks here while staying in RED Log3G10 space.
Midtone detail
Reduces digital sharpness of iPhone footage, softening micro-detail for a more organic RED-like texture.
RED Log3G10 to Rec.709
Converts final graded image into Rec.709 for delivery/export.
Filmic texture
Adds RED-like “in-camera” filmic texture.

FAQ
What is a PowerGrade?
A PowerGrade is a set of preset nodes that define a particular color correction or effect. These nodes encompass all image modifications, from color adjustments to blur effects, ensuring comprehensive editing capability.
What sets PowerGrades apart is their customisable and non-destructive design. Every element, including individual node settings, can be tailored to suit the project's requirements perfectly.
What will I receive?
Immediately after your purchase, you can download your product(s) from the checkout page or via the download link sent automatically to your e-mail within a few seconds.
Inside the folder you’ll find a .jpg and .drx file ( the actual PowerGrade ) and a super detailed user guide.
Can I use this PowerGrade with other softwares?
Unfortunately not, PowerGrade are exclusively built for DaVinci Resolve only. You will need the DaVinci Resolve Studio ( paid version ) to use this PowerGrade.
Do I need any third-party plugins?
No. The effects used in this PowerGrade are native DaVinci Resolve OFX plugins so you do not need to install any third party plugins. Note that you'll need the DaVinci Resolve Studio version in order to use the PowerGrade
Should I Pre-Color My Footage before applying the Apple Log to Red PowerGrade?
No. You should apply the PowerGrade directly to your Apple Log footage without any prior correction or grading.
This PowerGrade has been designed as a complete technical pipeline: it takes Apple Log, balances the channels, converts it into linear, and then maps it to RED Log3G10 with proper tonal response.
If you adjust exposure, white balance, or contrast before the PowerGrade, you may break the calibration and prevent the LUT from working as intended.
The only adjustments you should make are inside the dedicated nodes of the PowerGrade:
- Node 04 → exposure/white balance (user-editable)
- between Node 07 and Node 09 → creative look adjustments
Everything else is already calibrated and should remain untouched.
Will I get a refund?
Because all our products are digital downloads, we have no way of taking back the files once you purchase them. For that reason, we can not issue refunds.
If by mistake you purchase multiple quantity of our products, no refunds will be made. If you have any questions or concerns about your purchase, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via the contact page.

Disclaimer
It is important to note that this is not a one-click solution; merely applying it is not enough. It is necessary to modify the editable nodes and settings individually to adapt it to the specific type of video material.
