It has been a while since my last post here ! This is the 65th Haiku, shot in july 2014, which was waiting for a musician... just to do some shots thinking about an "old" movie with Harry Dean Stanton  :)
Enjoy !

Lovely stuff Pidji.  May I ask though, if you're using Resolve 12 then why do you still use the Cinelog LUTs?  Just out of curiosity.  I'm sure there are others, no doubt, who also do the same.

Why wouldn't one use them?

Cinelog Luts served a purpose before the release of Resolve 12, because you needed them to convert from BMD Film to Cineon Log Alexa Wide Gamut.  That's what Cinelog is essentially.  Cineon Log Alexa Wide Gamut.  With Resolve 12 you can now debayer straight into Cineon Log, or Arri LogC, etc.  No need for clunky LUTs, at least for that part of the process.  You're just compromising workflow and image quality.  Plus the naming scheme is needlessly confusing.

Don't get me wrong, they were handy in previous versions of Resolve, but only because they were a work around.  Now you can generate pretty much every LUT for free, when in fact you actually need to use one.  It's a commercial product too, so ultimately the motivation behind it was revenue related, whereas everything else on these threads has been done for free.

Hi everybody, interesting posts I read. I started using Resolve 11, and then I didn't change the nodes updating to 12. Thanks :-)
