These new LUTs have been modified for more filmic saturation and were born from my research into film emulation. The update also includes two new ARRI LogC to Rec709 LUTs. This update also makes P6K2Alexa fully compatible with the P6K Pro. The in-camera LUTs require Blackmagic Camera Update 7.3. To use the Gen5 PowerGrades you will require Resolve 17.2. The PowerGrade, post-production LUTs and in-camera LUTs have now been updated to be fully Gen5 compatible. To find out why, read The Creation Process below. And it offers many benefits over using a LUT. This is the same method used by high-end post houses to match digital cameras. I then used this data to build a custom 3x3 matrix that accurately matches both cameras. On receiving the camera I proceeded to profile the sensor using the techniques I had previously used to profile the Alexa sensor and various film stocks. The idea was to have a smaller and lighter camera that would live on a gimbal. And that is what we are doing in the Color Space Transform node before the LUT.In November 2019 I purchased a BMPCC 6K to complement the ARRI Alexa I normally shoot with. In order to use our Kodak LUT, we’ll have to convert our digital footage into the color gamma space of the scanned footage. The scanned film footage comes in the color space gamma “Cineon Film Log”. Why “Cineon film log”? That is because the LUT is actually designed for scanned film footage. To fix this, we’ll select the node before and change the output gamma to “Cineon Film Log”.

But as we apply the Rec709 LUT, we see that it is overly contrasty footage. We will go to film looks under LUTs and select Rec709 Kodak 2383 D55.But that will be the topic of some other day. It basically works in replacement of a Log to Rec709 LUT, only offering more utility and flexibility. For those who don’t know what the last node does here, it basically transforms your footage from the color space it was shot into Rec709. Our current node tree involves white balance, Primaries, grain, and Rec709 Color Space Transform. After we have imported and graded the footage.
