Resolve's Film Looks LUTs are some of the best film emulation ever made…so why do they always look wrong?
Because they expect film negative as input, and there’s no good way to map our image into that space — until now.
In this video we’ll look at where standard solutions fail, and how you can finally start using these LUTs like they were meant to be.
*If you want to go right to the magic moment where I flip the LUT from broken to beautiful, It’s at 10:13.
