I dragged and dropped the LUT into the directory, closed the directory and then clicked Update lists. Next I placed this LUT in the LUT directory for Davinci Resolve by going to Settings, selected the Color Management section and clicked the Show LUT directory. I need to try some other Gamuts and see which I like best. I used the Alexsa Wide Gamut as a test and was pretty happy with the results. Next I needed to create a LUT in LUTCALC ( LUTCalc) which would convert the DLOG into a Rec709. I recorded the footage on the SDD and then uploaded it into my Mac and into a Davinci Resolve timeline. This required adding a 2 stop ND filter and adjusting the f-stop to 13. To set my exposure I placed a 30” Impact 18% gray panel in the test area I am recording and using the wave form scope I adjusted the levels to approximately 478 IRE. You can make it larger by clicking the expand button the upper left of the tiny Color waveform window. The wave form scope will show up in a small window in the bottom right of the screen. To use the new Wave Form scope in the Go 4 app I select the camera setting, select the cog wheel on the upper right and scroll down to Enable Color Waveform and activate it. Style Custom: Contrast -3, Sharpness -3, Saturation -3 Lens: Olympus 12mm f2.0 lens that has been calibrated to the camera.
#Lutcalc not generating lut how to#
I wanted to thank JRenner, Mike and Travis of Advexture in the forum and in the DJI forum in the Dlog/RAW with X5S and the How to expose correctly if D-Log is fixed to ISO500 !!? threads, DJI-CAO, DrMrdalj, and raven4. I found much of the information in the and DJI forums that I am using. I thought I’d share the journey in case it might help someone else. This is my first exploration into how to shoot the x5s using DLog, exposing using the Wave Form scope in the Go 4 app and using LUTCalc to create a LUT to convert to Rec709.
