Does it have to be a color managed workflow in order to work? I know its not the right way, but i often use a conversion lut from v-log to rec 709.
@KaurHАй бұрын
The DCTL supports V-Log, so as long as you put it before the LUT, it'll work. It's anyways a good idea to have the log>709 LUT as the very last thing in your node tree. Does that answer your question?

Hi Kaur, Do we need a shot with Color checker to use white balance DCTL? Sorry if it’s a dumb question.
@KaurHАй бұрын
@@taraksidhartha7260 Hey, great question! First of all, using the white balance checker presumes you want to have whites look completely neutral. For artistic reasons, you might actually not want this. But if you do, yes, you do need something that should actually be neutral, ie not have any color shade. Color checkers are the most foolproof way, but even a white piece of paper can do the job. Otherwise you can only hope that a white/gray looking thing is actually neutral.

Hey Rohan! To protect your DCTL code, you have to encrypt it. This can be done from the LUTs browser by right-clicking on the DCTL and choosing "Encrypt DCTL". There you also have the option to set an expiration date, but if you do, as the expiration date isn't shown anywhere automatically, please include it either in the file name or somehow visibly in the DCTL, some do it as the only value of a dropdown.

Hi Kaur. Thank you for your wonderful tools. What's the difference between the free demo pack vs your False Color DCTL v.1.1.1 $29,99 USD?
@KaurH4 ай бұрын
The demo pack includes almost all of my DCTLs, but with a watermark. This allows you to test them out on your own footage before purchasing. The False Color DCTL is a 9-band customizable stops-based false color. For each band, you can set the range in stops relative to middle gray and the HSL color it'll be displayed as. For example -1 stops to +1 stops, display as green.

@@KaurH Thank you for your reply. I purchased the False Color DCTL v.1.1.1 $29.99 from your website yesterday and it's working great. I have a couple of questions: 1) Is there a way to add the scale of stops (-6 to +6) in the display in Davinci? Like your False Color in your KH Checkers v.1.0.1, that show you that scale in stops. 2) Can I convert that False Color DCTL v.1.1.1 into LUT for my BMCC 6K Full Frame? Thank you.

You can read up more about it in the manual and try it out using the demo pack, but essentially it does two things: 1. Contrast on the A and B channels, which will increase/decrease saturation or shift the balance if you shift pivot away from 0.5 2. Crosstalk between the A and B channels, which works on the same logic as the RGB mixer in Resolve - use X% of the input signal from channel A in channel B or vice versa.

Hey Kaur, I found this tool after growing frustrated at writing my own DCTL to do the same thing. I see that the main purpose of this is to bake dctl transforms into a lut, but I have a more obscure use for this kind of thing. You made this tool well before Resolve natively supported lut baking in the color page, therefore it was more valuable at that time. Would you consider making this tool free for it's few remaining use cases? 20 Euros is a bit much in my country so I've got to ask, lol. Thanks regardless, your free tools have been very useful to me.

@@KaurH Yes, it is usefull sometimes, but 18% grey target, light meter or an expodisc are better solutions for setting the consistant exposure. In the high end productions it is well proven approach. And the second best tool is a colorchecker.

2 stops above and 2 stops below will cover pretty much any skin luminance from pretty much any human. With film the ratio is the most important thing - them it will scale to fit any exposure. The idea of 1/2 stops is to dial it in with the false color viewing.

Bit of support for anyone digging through the comments. As of the Resolve 19 beta, LUT export in the Color page still doesn't support alpha channel. When passing a Horizontal Cube pattern through a compound clip in a 4225x250 timeline, you will get a "green tint" (a point of offset in the green channel). When cropping (from a center aligned image) to 4225x65 in fusion, the peak whites will artifact. Both are probably from some kind of aliasing issue. The way to avoid Both issues is not to use the Horizontal type. Use rectangular instead and fit your timeline setting to 585x520. You do not have to recrop, and it is ok to have a patch of transparency, it will pass through the color page/ compound clip fine.

@KaurH7 ай бұрын
Anything going after the ODT cannot, by definition, be scene referred, meaning accurate in stops. As such, I recommend placing this DCTL before the ODT if you plan on using the false color or middle gray checkers. Skin tone checking works both before or after the ODT, given that you calibrate it to your color pipline and target skin tones.
