Using a Look up Table for Quick Looks

Applying a LUT

Look up tables allow you to quickly recalibrate the way your color pixel data is displayed,

essentially providing another form of grading. Conveniently, you can easily apply LUTs

once they are installed in DaVinci Resolve.

1 Right click over node 02 and choose Reset Node Grade to remove the black and white

look but keep the first balanced node.

2 In the upper left of the User Interface toolbar, click the LUTs button to show the

LUTbrowser.

3 In the LUT browser, select the Training LUT category.

You can preview any LUT by moving your mouse pointer back and forth over any

LUTthumbnail in the browser.

4 In the browser, move your mouse pointer back and forth over the lesson 14 LUT

thumbnail to preview the LUT in the viewer.

LUTs for monitoring

LUTs are commonly used for monitoring on set. They allow you to change how

avideo signal displays when content is captured on camera. When the signal is

captured using a ﬁlmic non-linear gamma curve, an HD monitor will display a very

ﬂat image with low contrast and saturation. If you apply a LUT to the display or

camera view ﬁnder it can convert the signal to appear as HD (Rec 709)—the

contrast will become much more pronounced, and the colors more saturated. If

your project has a speciﬁc look, you can even create a custom LUT, save it, and

upload it onto aBlackmagic Design camera, where you can shoot the scene while

seeing an approximation of how the ﬁnal footage will look.

The applied in-camera, monitoring LUTs will not alter the footage being captured.

Itwill aect only how the image appears on the camera viewer. When the footage

is transferred to DaVinci Resolve, it will still have full grading capacity.
