The look and its presets

The settings under the preview are in three groups, in the order the picture is made. Develop RAW works on the raw data, Color turns it into a picture, and Output decides what file you get. Click the title of a group to fold it. A folded group shows a short line with what is chosen in it.

The first two groups make up the look of the clip. Each clip has its own look, kept next to it in a .look.json file (see Opening clips). The Output settings are shared by all clips.

Preset

The row above the groups. A preset is a saved look: pick one from the list, and the clip takes all its settings. — means no preset is chosen.

  • Save as preset…: save the current look under a name.
  • Delete: delete the chosen preset (the program asks first).
  • Apply to all clips: give the current look to every clip in the list.
  • Reset look: returns to the defaults: 0 EV, white balance as shot, both lens corrections at 100 %, Rec.709, no LUT.

A preset with a LUT remembers which file it used. If that file has since been changed or moved, the program asks what to do: take the new file, choose the .cube again, or turn the LUT off.

What the look does not touch

A CinemaDNG sequence is raw data. The look is not applied to it; the program uses the look only for the preview. Resolve and other programs develop CinemaDNG themselves.
