Emergency situation on DaVinci
Hallo Everybody,
I would really appreciate some advice on two issues, since I face a tight deadline:
1.) I just hooked up my new BlackMagic Mini monitor over Thunderbolt, and after that it went all weird. When I imported my XML, I get right away the warning: “Error occured while Decoding Audio Track using QTDecoder”, and after that all thumbnails go black and I just see black in the viewr of the current clip.
2.) So, I made a new project and then it got worse: When I import, the XML, Davinci tells me it does not find the files, and when I want to go to the folder where the Media is stored, Davinci sees the folder as empty, even though all the clips are inside.
Please, help!
Thanx a lot.
Greetings,

Material was shot on C300, ingested into FCP7 as ProRes HQ, then output an XML and imported into DaVinci.
I know, made a whole new Database and simplified the sound to 2 tracks.
Seems to be ok now.
Should I grade this footage with or without a LUT?
Never really got into LUTs, because they gave me usually a too contrasted image.
The footage was shot in C Log.will it be ok to grade directly?Thanx.

hi sascha,
of course! in my opinion LUTs are good for preview versions, eg dailies to edit with.
i never use a lut in grading. after all it is kina like a pregrade, you can use it if you like
the outcome, or don’t use it.if you are planning to use a lut it is usually a good idea to have a “prenode” in which
you can alter the image contrastwise, so the lut doesn’t “throw away” some of your
recorded detail. -
Thanx Andy,
You just confirmed what my stomach told me already.
Do you by chance know a good LUT to download for the C Log footage of the C300?
I found several, contradicting links.Thanx.
