H Kevini! Referred to lesson 6 (LUT Management)....As far as I know, before you export the 3D Lut with the look from Resolve to be used within the camera, you need to disable the last node where the IPP2 conversion from RWG/Log3G10 to Rec709/BT.1886 happens, because that conversion is  then done automatically  by the camera when displaying the image on the monitor. And then, if you import that Lut again in Resolve, you need to activate the last node with the conversion again. At least, that's how it think it should be done until now...I'm I wrong?

I'm sorry to say you are wrong. The last node in the chain (the log2rec709 transform) needs to be a part of the LUT generation in DaVinci Resolve and any transform happening inside of your monitor must be disabled.

lesson 11: 6000Kbps is read as kilobytes

It's actually read as 6-8000 kilobits per second which is correct.

Hi! Is there a reason to keep apply 3DLUT and apply CDL disabled like you say?I use aces and on a recent project I didn't mess with those options till after delivery and realized I may have been ignoring information. What do you think?

Maybe rephrase the questions a bit? Not sure I get what you are asking.

Curious about these options as they are glossed over somewhat in these videos. Thanks!
