Technicolor LUT

[Daniel Hughes]

It’s delicious! Very fantastic.

It’s good for shooting dark things, like dark coloured dogs or extremely dark skinned people and as it preserves so much detail in all of the regions.

The fidelity is a dream!

I tried it on my canon EOS 550d (T2i).

It is very good looking. Quite a lot more detail in the shadowz.

But.. On my macbook with 4GB Ram and Finalcut 7 it takes ages to render the LUT profile.. So I am considering if it is worth using without LUT and just fixing colors and levels in Final Cut’s built in color control..?

Anyone having an opinion on that?

Thanks,

Ronald

How are you rendering the LUT?

[Ronald Jensen]

I am rendering in Final Cut through the Magic Bullet plugin. I put the effect on each clip and then render from timeline.. Is there a better way?

[Jeremy Garchow]

I was planning to go through color, or perhaps use the Kona card to kiPro.

Somewhere, you’re going to have to apply the LUT.

You could use whatever you want. You also don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.

[Ronald Jensen]

Yeah, I guess it does not really make sense to just use it as a ‘flat’ image for ordinary color-grading without applying the LUT..? But I am only a novice in this area…

[Jeremy Garchow]

It’s just a suggested LUT. You can grade it however you’d like.

You can choose to use their LUT, and then further grade with that, or just start from scratch.
