Dual-lens travel films

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P · the starting point

Label the lens and profile before matching the shot

A travel film can cut from a wide location view to a tighter portrait in a moment. The framing changes how much sky, skin and shadow the viewer sees, so a consistent look needs more than copying the same adjustment values.

The Pocket 4P introduces another input to the DJI workflow: D-Log 2. Keep those files separate from D-Log and D-Log M recordings. Check the actual profile for each lens and recording mode; this guide covers footage recorded in D-Log 2, not every file produced by the camera.

After establishing the correct conversion, choose a representative face and a neutral surface as references. Bring the close view and the wide shot into agreement before adding the final colour palette. Preserve their different perspectives rather than forcing identical contrast.

The Pocket 4P name identifies the camera. The recorded D-Log 2 setting identifies the conversion.

Quick answer

Record the lens and profile alongside the clip. Keep D-Log 2 separate from other DJI LOG recordings. ToneLab lists Pocket 4P under D-Log 2. Check that the matching conversion is present in your installed version and use it once.

02 · Practical sequence

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P in DaVinci Resolve

This sequence is designed for an SDR Rec.709 finish. Account for any existing colour management before applying a technical conversion; the same LOG-to-display transformation should not happen twice.

Step 01

Identify D-Log 2

Record the lens and profile alongside the clip. Keep D-Log 2 separate from other DJI LOG recordings.

Step 02

Select the input

ToneLab lists Pocket 4P under D-Log 2. Check that the matching conversion is present in your installed version and use it once.

Step 03

Balance both views

Match skin, neutrals and highlight behaviour between wide views and closer portraits before sharing the creative treatment.

Step 04

Review the sequence

Judge the grade at the cut and during movement. Keep individual exposure trims beneath the shared visual direction.

03 · Choosing your workflow

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P LUTs, conversion and creative colour

Pocket 4P D-Log 2 LUT

Check the generation

Use a conversion explicitly intended for the recorded D-Log 2 input; do not substitute a Pocket 3 D-Log M preset.

Pocket 4P portrait grading

Keep faces credible

A tight view makes small changes in skin hue and contrast more visible than the establishing shot.

Separate base and finish

Evaluate the supported conversion first, then judge creative looks across both wide and close compositions.

04 · Questions before you grade

DJI Osmo Pocket 4P D-Log 2 FAQ

Is Pocket 4P D-Log 2 the same as Pocket 4 D-Log?

No. Keep the input profiles distinct and use the conversion documented for the recording. The Pocket 4 guide remains on its own URL.

Does this cover every Pocket 4P recording mode?

No. It covers D-Log 2 footage. Check the selected lens and recording mode before applying that input treatment.

Can I reuse a creative look across both lenses?

Yes, when the clips are prepared for the look’s expected input. Balance each lens and scene individually before judging the shared treatment.

Does ToneLab list Pocket 4P support?

Its public compatibility list names Pocket 4P under D-Log 2. Confirm the corresponding conversion is available in your installed version.

Profile reference: DJI Osmo Pocket 4P documentation. Check ToneLab’s current compatibility information for the exact input and installed version.
