rendering not adding grades
Okay, so I haven’t used davinci in a while, so i may be making a school boy error. what i want to do is add a basic grade and a lut to some alexa log footage and then render out prores422 for editing. I have added my footage, made a timeline, put the lut on, done a quick contrast/ colour grade. and then rendered. the problem is the render is coming out as source- no grade on (though burn ins are there and it is pr422 rather than 4444). am completely stumped restarted and started from scratch but to no avail. am getting a little bit desperate so all help is gratefully received.

Double check up down arrow keys. They disable grades. But most likely on the render page, bottom left, make sure it’s not set to render source only.

Hi Barrie,
thanks for the reply. I cannot see a check box for render source only? The only source checkbox on the render page is the one above target.
Also might be worth adding that when i hit render- the shot moving is the graded version. I am once again stuck.

do you have flat pass selected? that might be it?

Hi Robert,
have flat pass set to off. -

While you are rendering, do you see the expected grades in the Color page Viewer, as it’s rendering? If you do, then that MUST be in the rendered files. If you see the grades while rendering, but don’t see the grades in the rendered files, that would almost have to mean you are not really looking at the files Resolve just rendered.
What type of system is this? What version of Resolve software? What type of GPU card do you have? If Mac, what version of OSX are you using?
If you have OSX 10.7.4 and an ATI/AMD GPU, you MUST use the 8.2.1 beta 3 version of Resolve.

Hi Duane, I am seeing the expected grades in the viewer as it is rendering. as mentioned before i can even render the burn ins. but the shots are gradeless. this is why i am confused!
system is davinci 8.2, mac pro 8 core, 10.7.3, gtx285, bm hdpro, 12tb internal raid, etc

To the best of my knowledge, what you are describing is not possible. What you see while rendering, is what’s being rendered. So I am also confused.
If you can do an Export+ of your project (you can’t do this while it’s loaded) and send it to davincihelp (at) blackmagic-design.com, we can take a look at it and try to see if there is anything odd with the project settings.

emailing now thanks.

It was user error, which Dwaine worked out when testing my project. had accidentally set the LUT to display rather than output.
Dwaine you are as much a legend as I am an idiot!
