You got to be quick on set and seeing your exposure is key. This DCTL makes it easy to see what a post production pipeline is going to do to your image to make sure your subjects are in the perfect exposure zone. Easily shake and bake luts with your look dev choices underneath and never put your subject into the noise floor, because there is only so much your colorist can fix.

  • How Does It Work

    This DCTL get placed at the end of your happy little node tree and it takes your image and changes the colors of the image based on exposure stops centered around mid grey.

  • Set up your incoming CST

    Place a CST at the beginning of your tree that converts from your camera space to your working space or directly to Rec.709

  • Set your Pipeline Status

    If you want to see a Rec.709 image conform pipeline check whether the input is in that state already.

  • Build Your Look

    Between the CST and this DCTL, build your look, conform from your working space to Rec.709, make contrast adjustments or hue rotations, do your thing. Pretty much how you built a show lut just with this dctl on the end.

  • Bake The Lut out

    Tell Resolve to make a 33 point lut that can be loaded into your camera.

  • Test the Lut

    Bring it back into resolve, turn off all nodes and apply the lut… does it look the very similar. Put it in your camera, check it out. But please always test test test to confirm your workflow
