To kick off the launch of my new look dev plugin Contour, we're taking a deep dive on look dev -- whether you're doing it with Resolve tools, LUTs, DCTLs, plugins, or a combo of all three.
(If you haven't had a chance to check out Contour, be sure to watch the video I just posted, and grab a free trial at https://procolor.ist/contour-official)
0:00 Introduction
4:07 Why Resolve doesn't have by default a lot of the stuff that already exists as DCTLs or Plugins?
9:59 Opinion on X-Grade and Chromogen tools from Baselight
12:05 Creating FILM Emulation LUTs using Contour
17:03 Can you create a LUT that creates artifacts using Contour?
21:40 Do you take into account the perkinje effect while grading?
23:40 What to do when color managing goes wrong?
30:13 Creating a showLUT for REC709
34:50 Dealing with VFX or texts during color grading using the node stack feature
42:30 Do you plan to release another LUT pack soon?
45:11 Is it better to create a look for an specific camera and then match the rest of them to that camera or create a look that fits every single one from the start?
48:50 Can you export a LUT using DCTLs and Contour?
50:46 Is there something like a LUT but for texture?
52:06 Do you need to color manage REC709 footage if you also deliver REC709?
59:30 Conclusion and farewells
