I have been having issues with S Log 2 breaking up a bit when grading low light clips, so I started experimenting with HLG and picture profiles. In the process, I stumbled upon this S Cinetone-esque profile someone had come up with(sorry to whoever posted it originally, I can't find the link any more), and I did a couple little tweaks, and it really looks freaking great with almost no edits!

I dropped the gain a bit, but basically nothing else!

Here it is-

Black Level: -10

Gamma: Cine4

Black Gamma: Range Wide, Level -2

Knee: Mode Manual, 100%, Slope 0

Colour Mode: Pro

Saturation -1

Color Phase: 0

Colour Depth: R: +3 G; +1 B: -1 C: -1 M: -1 Y: +1

Detail: Level -7

Let me know what you think!
