Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 10, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted September 10, 2019 lut = Look Up Tables... for color? Quote
itsjustme Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I don't think A:M is set up to use Look Up Tables...I would think that you would use those in post processing. Render your images using a linear workflow (1.0 gamma, correcting your colors and lighting for that) and use whatever LUT you want in your color grading program (maybe Da Vinci Resolve...here). Here are some links that might be useful: DesiredGamma.mp4 linearization.zip RGBlinear post Gamma discussion thread DaVinci Resolve 15 Tutorial : Color Grading Crash Course Davinci Resolve 16 Color Grading For Beginners Hope that helps.

steve392 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Posted September 11, 2019 Thank,s for your reply guys and the links David I use it on images sometimes and it changes the lighting very well but I don't have a video editor that will use lut files just wonderd Quote

Admin Rodney Posted September 11, 2019 Admin Posted September 11, 2019 Quote Da Vinci Resolve is a video editor and compositor...there is a free version for personal use. And not just personal use... commercial use too! Davinci Resolve does require quite a bit of RAM but if I could get away with it I would twist everyone's arm and strongly suggest everyone should standardize on Resolve as a common video editor. This isn't to say that other video editors could not be used but that Resolve would be the standard used in collaborative projects. Why? Because then everyone could share notes, files and such with minimum hassle as well as take advantage of some very powerful tools. Regarding LUTs, a very good reason to use Resolve is that Resolve is one of the standard applications for color correcting in the industry and so it's a solid foundation from which to do look development with LUTs. A few short years ago that was really the only thing Resolve was used for. It's only of late that Resolve has gained video editing, composting and effects, 3D, audio and distribution capability. The price certainly is right. It's hard to compete with 'free'. As I say though, Resolve does require quite a bit of RAM but it's good to have a lot of RAM with Animation:Master too. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 11, 2019 Admin Posted September 11, 2019 I see that there is a free course on using LUTs with Davinci Resolve on the Film Simplified site: https://filmsimplified.com/p/using-luts-in-davinci-resolve-crash-course Course Curriculum Intro What is a LUT? The 2 types of LUTs LUTs file format Using LUTs Loading LUTs into Resolve Applying LUTs to footage Adjusting the look of a LUT Adjusting node power Exporting LUTs Quote
Admin Rodney Posted September 11, 2019 Admin Posted September 11, 2019 They also have some free LUTs for downloading but note that these are the .cube formatted LUTs: https://filmsimplified.com/p/free-luts Most of what I have used in the past have been the .3DL format which is less popular and harder to find.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 11, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted September 11, 2019 Making a Post Effect for A:M that converted a rendered image to a LUT'd image probably would be possible Quote
steve392 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 Thanks very much that sounds good will go get it for someone like me that's not good at lighting its very handy to use lut files Quote
steve392 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Posted September 14, 2019 The problem is getting it into AM somehow or do it after the render .having problems with the internet at the moment lots of storms here and mucho rain .I installed win 10 and am trying to put apps back on have some that it tells me its not allowing for some reason beginning to wish I had stuck with 7 lol Quote

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 25, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted September 25, 2019 If you have QuickTime installed, make sure your browsers are set to not play any QuickTime content or ever use QuickTime to play anything in a browser. QuickTime has security bugs that they will not be fixing. I presume just using it as a standalone app is safe, that is what I do, but i don't know that. Quote
