    Heres some Tips from Gopro labs forum to apply in specific Presets, this way we just need to change preset underwater and is not necessary to scan or laminate the printed QRCODE for underwater use.

I always use Davinci YRGB..its much simpler to use... but the configurations are flexible depending what you want output or the project requirements

  • In Non-Color Managed YRGB: You apply the plugin to normalize footage to Rec 709 manually.

  • In YRGB Color Managed: To use the plugin, you must set the clip's Input Color Space to "Same as Timeline" and set the project's input DRT to "None" to avoid double-management, as explained in the GP-Tune Tutorial.

Ok @Nando Diver , thank you.

One more question: I use GP-TUNE as IDT, I correct WB and contrast if necessary. I didnt understand if the last node should be a CST to get rec.709 before delivery.

Whats your opinion for better results?

Bye

With GP-tune transform im having mix results, and since im using the free davinci resolve im limited.

What i do is, i have saved presets, and quickly i can change from gp-tune to IDT

With gp-transform (right image) there much less saturation in color.

But the flexibility of GP-tune plugin, i can correct the exposure without making a mess.

GoPro Mission 1 Labs is out for V2.0

This is big update for both mainline and Labs firmware, here are the highlights.

MISSION 1 PRO v2.0

NEW FEATURES

  • Adds support for Media Mod (Multi-Pattern Mic + Media Ports Frame) for MISSION 1 Series

  • Adds support for Volta 2 (Weather-Resistant Battery Grip | Tripod | Remote)

  • Enables video out using USB-C to DisplayPort / HDMI cables and adapters

IMAGE QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Improves contrast and tone tuning in Dive mode

  • Improves color accuracy, including fixes for oversaturated colors and skies

  • Improves cinematic motion blur tuning

USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

  • General user interface improvements

  • General bug fixes

LABS UPDATES v2.00.70

  • Added EXPL - Exposure lock on capture

  • Added HS30=1 default Hindsight shortcut to 30s

  • Added EXPX Max Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=200 for 1/200

  • Added EXPN Min Shutter speed e.g. $EXPX=1000 for 1/1000

  • Added EXPQ Manual Shutter speed e.g. $EXPQ=50 for 1/50

  • Added Overlay BURN support (limited to 4K 24,25,30 16:9 8-bit)

  • Enhanced BURN now support variables ‘$VALC%1.6f’ or ‘$M%1.2f’mph

  • Added PMXY for processing message screen position

  • Added AUDS and audio triggers to Mission.

  • Added DTMF for a DTMF detector, running Macro stored in DTMA-D,0-9,S-Start(), H-Hash() DTMF=1 External USB audio, =2 Internal mics

  • Preset with macros can have now have lowercase freeform text following e.g. “SWIM mode”

  • Fixed Labs Photo FOV, EV and WB controls

  • Added system vars (useful with BURN overlays) c:X = GPS lat, c:Y = GPS long, c:Z = GPS alt, c:S = GPS km/h, c:T = GPS days in this year c:W = GPS DOP

Labs on Mission is now mostly feature matching HERO13, and starting to add a few extra features. The new DTMF detector might seems weird for most users, but it can serve as is very inexpensive multi-cam controller, or for very long range cable control, where USB or WiFi is impractical (Rocket launches, deep water ROVs, gaussian spat camera arrays, etc.)

Labs downloads: https://gopro.github.io/labs/

P.S. I forget to document one more cool feature

- Added DIOP=x - Experimental diopter correction. Adding a diopter lens will modify the distortion, and impact stabilization, this attempts to compensate. e.g. $DIOP=4 for +4 diopter lens.

Ps: Theres a bug on this version 400 mbits dont work on this version 2.00.70, its limited to 240 Mbits
