  Adding a LUT

  Posted by Yurii Hydrick on June 23, 2011 at 10:02 pm

  Hello all,

  I’m new to Resolve. I’ve been an editor for several years, but just now getting into grading.

  I generated a LUT for Rec.709 from ARRI’s site… but I cannot figure out how to get the LUT into Resolve. I checked the manual and it either didn’t explain how to do it, or it went over my head…

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Best,

  Yurii

  The path is /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/Davinci Resolve/LUT/Arri

  Just drop it in the Arri folder then click “Update LUT’s” in Resolve.

  Thanks Marc,

  I gave that a try, and it’s still not recognizing it. Could it have something to do with the file being .lut?

  Yea, they should come out of the Lut Generator as _davinci3d.dat . Did you select Davinci as the File Format?

  There is already a thread here called “log to lin.” In it I put the following post:

  Good suggestion.

  I would add that for most material you’d want to do this with, it would most likely be starting out as video gamma, not linear. So “what Sascha said,” with the caveat that you should probably make it “Video” to LogC rather than Linear. You should also make sure you make it Extended Range (in and out), 1D (No Matrix), and then Force 3D Lut in the output section. Select DaVinci format, drop it into the Library->Application Support->Blackmagic Design->DaVinci Resolve->LUT-.Arri folder and you should be all set. When Resolve starts, it should create a dat_3dlut file from the .dat file for you. It will then be available in any node via the LUT pulldown, under 3D.

  That should explain what you’re asking about.

  That worked Marc. Thanks! I need to pay closer attention.

  Is it okay that it’s 3D? Is that going to give the same results as 1D? I couldn’t find an option for 1D.
