BMC LUT for Cineform

[mtschudi]

Sure there is. I wrote this utility RAW 2 CF RAW which does NOT apply any look by default. So the output CineformRAW matches the DNGs exactly. And yet, you can apply any LUT you want, optionally.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but is this true? The CineformRAW files will import into Resolve with the exact BMD Film color?

[Alex Primehd]

No it will not. CineformRAW will have (compressed) raw data from DNGs, but to retrieve that data you will need a host application that understands CineformRAW. Resolve currently debayers CineformRAW on its own, and discards all Cineform metadata. Would love for Resolve not to do so, but that's for BM to change.

Alex - I understand that the raw settings of CineformRAW are, sadly, not adjustable in Resolve. My question is if your program will export the files in the flat BMD color, so that I can use BMD luts.

[Alex Primehd]

RAW 4 PRO exports in CineformRAW format, as well as in two debayered formats.

CineformRAW is compressed RAW, but you need the host program to understand it the way Cineform programmed it. Resolve does not do it fully.

CineformRAW will look flat in Resolve, but that's because Resolve debayers it - using its own algorithm, and not the way Cineform intended. Resolve's debayering is one of two best algorithms, another one being ACR. But it does not support Cineform metadata.

If you want full raw support in Resolve, use original DNGs.

If you want Resolve to support CineformRAW as raw and not as debayered video, please ask BM to program it into their next Resolve version. If they do so, many folks will be very happy, including me and all Cineform users with Resolve

No it won't. The flat BMD color is itself an applied curve. Completely unprocessed BMD files have a green tinge from the Bayer Sensor having twice as many green sensors. Raw4Pro will convert those without adjustment, but your footage will look greenish-flat, not flat.

There is still no way to convert with the exact same curve. But you can get very, imperceptibly close in GoPro Studio, see here: http://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/vi...&t=238#p110957

Thanks, guys. It's a shame this workflow hasn't been streamlined yet.

Personally I'm holding out hopes they fixed it in Resolve 11 =]

Here is BMC LUT compatible with Cineform (converted from Resolve one). Once downloaded it needs just clicking to be installed.

If you convert RAW DNGs with GoPro Studio than after applying lut image will look over saturated (easy to fix).

humm,
getting some wonky stuff here. you assign the lut from in gopro correct? are we suppose to use the original or the hack dll in resolve?
thanks

Just a quick note, RAW 4 PRO will no longer be offered in just a few days. Blackout date: Jan 25th 2018.
But R4P Easy users who purchased their licenses up to that date will be fine - the EASY version will work indefinitely.

If you'd like to get one while still available, I'm offering a 55% off discount to the readers of this forum till Jan 20th. Just click here, then enter promo code: bmr55

Thank you for reading.
