Thanks
Gary

I have found some advice in the earlier forum topics but they didn’t work. I copied the .cube file to the Library…./LUT folder. But It doesn’t show up on the list. I tried to click to the Update List button but nothing 🙁

.cube LUTs must go in the /LUT/Cinespace folder to be seen in the Resolve app.

.dat LUTs must go in the /LUT/Arri folder to be seen in the Resolve app.

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT/CineSpace/

I just did check the path from my machine where it is working.

I’m informed that .dat LUTs can also be placed in the LUT/Cinespace folder.

Bu tit needs to be in “DaVinci format” or form, how it is called officially LUT flavor for specific software (Color, DaVinci, Nuke, BaseLight,…)?

Can’t help you with DaVinci but there’s a neat little program called 5DToRGB that is used to transcode the DSLR footage to other (more editable) codecs. In the newer versions it’s capable of applying the the LUT automatically to your footage if you want it to. Downside is: The look is “baked in” and you can’t remove it from the transcoded footage.

Thanks for all of your answers. It worked when I copied the file to the “CineSpace” folder.

Just one thing what I didn’t try yet. When I export everything. The LUT will be applied or I shuld use It again at the finishing (LUT Buddy)?

Thanks

If you have the LUT anywhere EXCEPT as a Display LUT, it will be rendered.

Yes, that’s correct. It is baked in, which isn’t appropriate for color grading. I added the CineStyle option to 5DtoRGB because several people requested it, but I actually don’t recommend it. If you’re going to grade later, then just transcode using the camera’s native matrix. In the case of Canon, it’s Rec. 601, full range. Other cameras (like the GH2) typically use Rec. 709, broadcast range.

Applying CineStyle during transcoding is only good for viewing dailies, in my opinion.
