Hi Felix,

I’ve been working on an animation series that had the same problem. After a lot of LUT testing we essentially gave up. Even when we were able to create a LUT workflow that matched the initial frames pretty closely, when we did any grading it simply fell apart – blacks would be grey mush when pushed up and highlights would have casts/banding. We also found that adjusting anything lacked the fine control feel of grading any other type of file in DaVinci.

Failing to find any definitive reason for the problem in the end I assumed the OpenEXR support was a bit premature and we transcoded everything to 16-Bit TIFFs, which worked beautifully.

Cheers,

Dave.
