LUT application not working

Hi there, I am trying to apply LUTS to my short film, and I am very happy with the preview when in the colour tab, but when I preview my film in the edit/cut tab and when I render, the clips have no LUTS applied. Any ideas? Many thanks.

Do you use the LUT for viewing or are you baking it in?
If it's set only for viewing, you need to apply the same LUT in post.

Hi Uli, thanks for your reply. Is it possible to rephrase your question? I am beginner. I would like the LUTs to appear when previewing and when rendered if possible. Many thanks. Lily.

When I hover my mouse over the LUT preview, it applies it to my clip and looks really good, but I can't work out how to actually apply it to the clip. I've tried dragging it onto the preview window and onto the node itself and right clicked apply LUT to node. No joy.

I'm afraid you need to start here:

Which camera do you use?

Lily, you were almost there. Click on the LUT and drag it to the Node and let go. No other action is needed.

As Uli has suggested, do look at the Blackmagic training materials as they will make using Resolve much easier.

If you wish to add the LUT to the whole timeline, change the Clip setting to Timeline, as indicated by the arrow, use the shortcut Alt+S to add a node, and drop the LUT onto it.

Hi Charles and Uli,
Many thanks for your replies. Much appreciated. I have read the manual a bit and it has been helpful, it seems I still need to adjust the balance after applying the LUT to my node to make it look like the preview, which is a shame!
To answer your q Uli, I shot it on my phone. A OnePlus. Thanks again. Lily.

I don't know that phone, but maybe the app you are using for recording offers an option to not only show the LUT, but also bake it in, i.e. integrate it into the recording. Then you should get nearly exactly what you saw on the phone.

Thanks Uli, things are working a bit better for me now. Thanks again for your help.
