MLV App Cinematic 2 Filter replicate to other software

[NHCD]

Hi everyone,
I really love the Cinematic 2 filter in MLV App, and i use it almost the time for my footages, but when i adjust my RAW CR2 photos to match it is really hard to replicate the same look, can I export the filter in to LUT file or any way to replicate in Lightroom?
Thank you

MLVApp filters are not a LUT. It just works kind of. Those filters are realized using a trained neural network. This can't be exported as LUT for any other application. You could process your CR2 photo in MLVApp.

Would need to just rename it?
*.cr2
*.mlv

need first to convert cr2 to dng, then you can import it on MLVApp (transcode & import) or use a dng to mlv conversion tool

[masc]

No need to convert to DNG. Renaming can't work. Direct "import & transcode" the cr2 into MLVApp.

[a.sintes]

right! I've a doubt about it but just tested and it works fine

wow, thank you @masc and @a.sintes for your very useful information, now i know new things about MLV app, it works !
considering an app by community that has some kind of "trained neural network" filter (assuming this is machine learning or preAI) - how cool is that !

It's only a small fully connected neural network, with 3 inputs and 3 outputs (RGB channels).

@masc4ii correction: I think it would be possible to convert them to LUTs with a little bit of code.

I think a 64x64x64 LUT would be accurate  enough.

In the past, I've made a small C++ tool that's able to build a .cube LUT by approximating the RGB differences between two A/B images, may help for this?

Right. It should be doable to write a small application including the network and the weights from MLVApp code base for LUT output.

I don't know what or how to import and then transcode from *.CR2 to *MLV?

MLVapp -> File -> Transcode and import
