Hi, I did not explain myself good enough. The key need its source from a node after the LUT (to have s clean key). To adjust this key I need the source from the node before the LUT. These sources need to be connected somehow.

Hi, Vagelis.

ProRes and MXF is ordinary YUV formats. For finishing in Avid or Smoke, render full range.

When importing full range data to Avid you can choose “import RGB” – it will remap to 16-235.
When you export, export to RGB and it will remap back. This is ok, and gives you no quality loss.

As long as you monitor video levels in Resolve, place the MXF-files in the the avid media folders and drop the database file in your bin – you will be good to go. And, your scopes will read 16-235. Its a default remap as Avid does not work RGB internally.

If you want to work RGB all the way through AVID you need to set up your monitor to show RGB (not 709) and buy a Avid Nitris. I cant see the point and know noone that benefit from doing that.

Sounds like you are set up with data levels.
Avid is not working internally in RGB as Resolve do, and output only 16-235 through Mojo DX.

Anyone?

I need to make a key from a node after the lut but to adjust the keyed part properly I need to do have access to the source or a node prior to the LUT.

It does not help because the key need an input from after the LUT.

Thank you guys! I was hoping to find a way to block the darkest parts of the image without using qualifiers with the log controls. As it is possible to change the parameters for where the low/mid and mid/high meet I find it a bit strange that I cant set a limiter for the darkest part. But ok, then curves and/or isolation it is.

Hi Dmitry,

Sorry if my questions are too basic.
I have seen the FXPHD series and the I have also read the latest book (2. edition).

I cant see that none of those resources cover the limited resolve log grading tool in a proper way – as they were done before the log tools was implemented in Resolve.

I know how to achieve this look the old fashioned way that Sascha is describing with curves or by isolation (although its harder).
My question was how to do this with the log tools.

I guess it just hang. When I vane back to work this morning it worked. Thanks!

[Stig Olsen]

Thanks for your inputs.

I discovered like you say Joseph – that the custom curves affects the highlights more agressive than the wheels and luma gain. What is the logic behind that? I havent noticed before.

Conflict with some MXF duplicates.
