rendering not adding grades

[Martin Simonsen]

I have a simular problem. I se the original footage in the preview while attempting to render, not the graded footage. Up-down key to turn on and of grading is not set to off, i copied the render settings used, earlier in this thread. What am i doing wrong? Im in a bit of a crisis!

See if the clip you’re trying to render only has one frame. If you try to render as “source” and add handles, resolve for some reason renders ungraded image. Without any handles, you should render graded image.

Keith,

Last year you had a problem with Resolve rendering out files that did not have your grades on them, even though you were watching it render with what appeared to be the correct grades.

You said:
“It was user error, which Dwaine worked out when testing my project. had accidentally set the LUT to display rather than output.”

I’m having the exact same problem. How did you change the LUT?

It an easy mistake to make… You want to select the LUT under option at the green arrow to apply it to your output.

If you apply it at the red arrow, it’ll show on your display, then output flat.

So, just my experience, but getting flat output while seeing it during render is exactly what happens BY DEFAULT unless you set this LUT. The guy who said it “Isn’t possible” just sent me down another rabbit hole for an hour prior to reading this info.

Follow up… So, turns out it was rendering the grade, but the result just looks nothing like it does in resolve. I’ll wait until I get my calibration gear on Monday before opening my trap again 😉

My advice for next time would be to pull the rendered file back into Resolve and A/B it with the corrected image, and check the scopes. If the picture is identical, then it is what is and you have a monitoring issue. You have to be able to monitor within a color-managed system; otherwise, the operating system is going to affect it. This is a primary reason for monitoring through a Blackmagic display output.
