[Help] DJI O4 Pro – D-Log M footage looks blotchy/patchy after color grading in DaVinci Resolve
Good evening everyone,
I hope I've come to the right place. I'm honestly getting pretty desperate at this point.
(A bit of background: I'm a passionate drone pilot and have collected quite a few over the years. I've never really been into the video side of things though, flying has always been my focus. Now, however, my sports club is putting together a small production and I'd love to contribute some footage shot with my freestyle drone.)
So I recorded some clips with the DJI O4 Pro 4K 60fps in D-Log M. When I go to edit the footage in DaVinci Resolve, the result is an extremely blotchy/patchy-looking video. It just doesn't look good at all. See the attached images.
I've tried countless approaches with color correction/grading as I do it usually and, out of desperation, even followed this YouTube tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjsASaqJUqg) step by step and still end up with the same terrible result.
I'm also attaching screenshots of my various settings. I really hope someone can help me out!
Just ask if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance! 😊
