2 Cameras - 1 wrong LUT - how to change in Resolve?

PostThu May 23, 2024 1:25 pm

I have footage shot with 2 cameras, a Studio 6k and an Ursa Broadcast G2. The Studio embedded the wrong LUT (video) into the file. Both should be film.

I'm relatively new to Resolve Studio. In Adobe Premiere with the BRAW plugin, I can easily change the metadata of the source clip (see attached screenshot). Where do I do this in Resolve? Note that I want to make the change in the raw source clip before I've done any editing.

Thanks for the help.

Change it in the RAW tab.
As long as it's BRAW there's no problem.
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.

Please be more specific. As I mentioned, I'm relatively new to Resolve.

I know I can get to a RAW tab in Color, but that only seems to work with clips after I've cut them into at timeline. I would like to make this adjustment to the source before any editing has been done. I think I also came across a tab/setting where I could change how ALL raw clips were handled, but I *only* want to affect the one clip, not all clips.

How do I make this change to the source clip??

You can't alter the gamma/color space of a braw clip until it's been loaded on a timeline (and accessible in the raw tab).

Ah that's unfortunate. Ironic that you can alter the source clip in Adobe Premiere before you cut it into the timeline, but you cannot alter it in Resolve.

You can do it in Resolve as well. Import the clips into the media pool bins. Then select all the clips for which you want to change the LUTs. With the clips selected (individual or multiple from the same camera) go to the top right corner, choose Inspector then File and change the settings you want and require. These will be retained after you load them into the timeline.

What you want is possible through your project settings. Just open them by clicking the gear icon bottom right. Go to Camera Raw sections and select Blackmagic RAW from the top menu. With 'decode using' set to Project, any setting you apply here will apply to all the .braw clips for that project. The same goes for any other raw format that's available there.

Thank you. So if one of the two clips is already at the setting, you won't see any change?

In other words, if clip 1 is set to video gamma and clip 2 is set to film gamma, this will just change clip 1 to film gamma with no visible effect on clip 2.

(I'm not at the editing system right now to check this. Thanks!)

Yes if one of the camera's .braw files matches the chosen parameters they will stay the same. But whatever you set the project to, all .braw files will be affected unless specifically overwritten on a clip basis in the raw tab on the color page.
