Great Jerry – many thanks.

You’re right – super convoluted – but it’s a better solution than anything I’d come up with!

I should indeed spend a little time learning the basics of AE.

Still confused as to why my ‘transparent video layer’ solution doesn’t work – but I guess I’ll have to let it go!

All the best, thanks again.

James.

Thanks Jon!

Red Giant said that you can use LUT Buddy with PP CS6 – but there’s no install setting – so you have to install for CS5 and move the plugin to the PP CS6 media core folder – or the ‘common’ folder. This has worked – but so far I’m not getting the results I’d expect – I may figure it out, or if not – I’ll go with your AE advice. Using that method I’m assuming I need to render sequences first?

thanks again,

James

Speedgrade is an incredible piece of kit to have ‘bundled’ in the cloud… But yes – for this project at least rendering kinda defeats the object. 4 different formats on the same timeline (C300, EX-1, GoPro, AVCHD) which so far the Mercury Playback Engine (even without the right graphics card) is handling admirably, but I want to lay the LUT on the (C-log) C300 – before I do any sort of grading.

I discovered that people found a work-around for CS5.5 – which consisted basically of installing LUT Buddy for CS5 – but changing the install location to the CS5.5 media core folder – it may work with CS6 – I’ll let you know!

Thanks for your reply Derrick,

As I said in my post though – LUT Buddy isn’t yet compatible with CS6. I’m hoping there’s another way to do it.
