#Captin hooks lut update

I understand that the camera may not be able to be a picture profile machine, where you can store many different looks, or adjust them on the fly, like canon dslrs can with picture profiles, but it would be nice to swap in your default 'video' LUT and be able to pre-load it, or flip to that on a job, to basically shoot to edit, and not have to cc your footage.ĭon't get me wrong i love shooting flat to color later, but there are jobs where it's just not worth it, but I'd still love to shoot blackmagic. It's not terrible, but it leaves a lot to be desired.

I do think the OP has a point and this has been one of my gripes of the camera as well - the rec709 'video' LUT that is in camera is not great to say the least. And as before, you can always hit the donate button that's in my link below. If anyone finds them useful, let me know. There's another couple i plan to share with these, but that should give some 'options' at least if you like using LUTs to help get you STARTED with a grade, or for live monitoring while shooting etc. I think it assumes a different exposure too (been way too long since i used my first one), so it won't replace instances of the old one:

So it's not trying to get closer to Alexa like the other one i'll eventually release, but it's based on some of the stuff i did in that one - definitely more neutral than my first one, but still with a little 'vibe':Īnd finally, this one is maybe 6 months+ old, but it's just a minor update to my original LUT that modified some things i found myself doing with that LUT. This is based on a LUT i made to help make matching Alexa footage (with the Alexa LUT applied) easier, this isn't THAT LUT, but built around it with more of my preferences. The next ones i've been planning to share for months, but haven't gotten around to it as i want to prepare examples etc but its all very time consuming: Like all others, you want to 'prep' the image going into it, from memory this is reasonably low on contrast and can generally benefit from added density: This one i don't really use and never planned to share, but it's maybe my most 'neutral' attempt (far from a technical LUT though - there's still just preference there). The idea was it saved me time from doing a lot of the same stuff. It's a reflection of SOME of my preferences at the time, that seemed to translate pretty well across most footage i shot - assuming i did a little work prior to the LUT (node).

I tried to be clear about that when sharing it. My LUT is not supposed to be 'neutral' or 'correct' colour wise - or a 'clean translation'.
