Turn log processing on or off
Many modern cameras have a log or wide-dynamic-range recording option that provides more
f-stops of exposure latitude in the image. You can apply log processing to this footage to convert
its appearance to a standard broadcast look. Some cameras embed metadata in the media file
that enables Final Cut Pro to turn on the appropriate log processing setting automatically. Many
cameras do not embed this metadata, and sometimes the metadata may simply be lost if the
material is transcoded. In any case, you can change this setting at any time.
