“LUT missing” improvement needed.

i open a project done in New York a year ago, I’m not familiar with it, and reel 2 is giving me the dreadful “missing lut XXXXXXXXXXX”.

Great.

I have 700 shots, each one with dozen of nodes and compound nodes: which one(s) is the one with the lut missing?

We need a log report with at least a timecode or something that can pinpoint us in the right place...

Wouldn't adding the missing LUT to the folder on the hard drive solve the problem? What is the need to know exactly where it's used?

You need to know the right path! If it is in a sub folder, will still not find it

Makes sense.

But...that seems a different ask, no? "Include the path the LUT is missing from."

I also want to I know where the issue is in the timeline.

Yes please!!

Good suggestion. It would be nice to be able to make a smart filter that finds clips with LUTs used in a node. At least finding the original path and LUT name is currently very easy!

or having a smart filter [clip has luts]... that will potentially reduce the pain...

OMG yes yes, and definitely yes. This is such a super annoying bug/oversight. This is one of the many areas of Resolve where users are notified of errors, but there is no explanation as to why/where the error has happened, or how to resolve it.

Reviving this thread.
The same scenario happened to me.
Got a project with 42 timelines, each one with hundreds of cuts and node tree from hell.
We need a way to locate the clips with the missing luts.

Agreed. My issue is that it showed missing, so I re added the same LUT to the same location, but the LUT still shows missing, and as mentioned no file path. Come on adobe....wait, lol, come on blackmagic. "Shutter". That was my experience forever with Adobe and every post and tech support was included the phrase "Come on Adobe!" Now I utter that cursed phrase here...COME ON BLACKMAGIC! COME ON!

Francisco, Shebbe,

DaVinci Resolve 18.5 and above shows a viewer overlay for the affected clips, and allows you to isolate and address missing LUTs from a single location.

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... 73859d312d

• Support for showing missing LUTs as a viewer overlay.
• Ability to manage missing LUTs from the LUT manager.

Shrinivas, let's say that you have 100 lut missing, does it give you:

the shots where it is missing?
the path of "where" it should have been?

all in a file that can be analized and fixed?

What Walter said.

I’ve been in the situation where a project was handed over from another house working in Resolve. They gave us the used LUTs but we don’t use the same LUT folders they use. I was able to see which LUT was missing on a shot by shot basis but no way to relink it to a new path or even plain replace of all uses with a totally different file.

I think we need a basic mechanic in place that makes LUTs sort of function like any other media in the media pool. Meaning you can locate it, relink and/or replace it. And at the minimum simply an automatic scan through your own LUT paths to search for it rather than expect the exact same path.
