It’s a source side effect. Both LUTs and ASC CDL can be applied in user defined order of operations.
See:https://blog.abelcine.com/2014/02/18/an-updated-guide-to-applying-luts-to-log-footage/#avid
At IBC in September there was mention of applying a LUT as an Effect to a segment on the timeline.

I suspect the other A2 folder is confusing it. You want to select the folder 2 up from the “A00…” folders. Move the A2 to its own folder and try again. Here is what I received this morning, and in my case, I select the C300 folder and it works.

I just helped someone this morning with a similar. Make sure you select the folder containing the “Contents” folder. Also make sure there are no illegal characters in the folder names.

John Pale: “AMA is managed like “regular” avid footage in those versions. I am curious if it behaves better.”
Avid marketing that, but I could never get Avid to detail what those benefits were exactly and many people have turned that off via the console command due to performance issues. I doubt it will solve this particular workflow configuration. But would love to be wrong.

as you say, the benefit of the “film” curve it to allow as much of the sensor’s dynamic range to be preserved and giving the colorist the flexibility in color correction.
Have you tried applying the BMD film LUT to the DNxHD footage? The fact that it is DNxHD footage should not affect color correction possibilities – especially if the original footage was ProRs 422.
You can still add a LUT to the transcoded DNxHD footage via source settings and will be applied on the fly. See if that makes a difference in resulting image quality. If it looks the same, then there may be issues with the exposure and other parameters of the file itself.
If you have Resolve istalled, then you can pull the .cube 3D LUT from its libary and import it into Media Composer to be applied. It will be called:
Blackmagic Cinema Camera Film to Rec709.cube
or
Blackmagic Cinema Camera Film to Rec709 v2.cubeOn OSX, it can be found here:

Either try creating multiple Title Effects to support more than 4/11 pages (I wonder what happens when you switch project to SD to create titles, then switch back to HD…) or use NewBlue Titler Pro and see if it can so what you are looking for.

The better solutions all come at a cost point. There is no real “same system” software only and low cost (or free) that works well for real time video and audio streaming.

Not much has changed since. People are reporting success with some form of I/O and Telestream’s web streaming solution. But all the “free” screen sharing solutions do not work well for a different reasons; bit depth, frame rate/rfresh, audio, etc.
I will be testing the IBC announced TalkShow from NewTek soon just for this purpose and will report on it.

There is a difference between “will it work” and “is it supported”? From the Avid Version matrix for OS X support for 6.5.4.2:
Lion 10.7.4 – 10.7.5, Mtn Lion 10.8.2 – 10.8.4
Mavericks 10.9, 10.9.1 (with the 6.5.4.1 patch) 10.9.2 (with 6.5.4.2 patch)So it “may” just work, or something may just stop. Perhaps others have had experience.

You could probably do that outside the Media Composer in Excel or the like, but the issue is that unless the raw rushes and the audio files start at the exact same time in the file, it will do you no good. Usually sounds rolls first, then picture, but even if both operators hit record at the same time, the change of them being frame accurate would be very slim to none. So copying one set of timecodes to another with no consistent offset will not help either.
