Many thanks again, Sean!  I will study this.  You have been a great help!

Thank you, Sean. 

I don't really work with RAW footage, typically only DPX or TIFF files from scans, so I am trying to wrap my head around the wilderness of camera origination formats.

OK, I think I might have a better way to ask the question:

Do the Project Settings -> Camera Raw -> Raw Profile profiles reflect the default interpretation values of DaVinci Resolve for all supported RAW file types?

If so, I would assume you would then be able to customize each one within a project and save them for any/all listed RAW formats or is only one type active at a time?

If you did this upfront, would this take care of automatically applying CTLs to any defined RAW footage?

Thank you, Michael.  I will have to study this for a while!

Lee,

Thank you for this tutorial!  I have a question about using multiple flavors of RAW footage in the same project.

In the RAW settings dialog box in Project Settings, is it only capable of defining ONE variety of RAW per project color space, or are all RAW flavors in the pull down menu active and can multiple CTLs be defined within the project using this menu?

How would you handle, say, 3 different cameras shooting different brands of RAW?

Thank you!

Mitch,

Great information, but I need a bit of clarification! 

You have a LUT for your camera original footage (whatever log to lin flavor) and an (Image Transform/LUT) for your grading projector (Lin->P3) and a Cineon LUT for filmout.

Where does the Cineon LUT reside?  Do you actually run the P3 colorspace adjusted image THRU the Cineon LUT to the film recorder, or do you run it in parallel and take the Linear data prior to the P3 Image transform (which should just be a color space adjustment for the projector)? 

Could you do both to grade theatrical and home video releases at once?

Cam orig --> Log to Lin LUT --> Filmstock Emulation LUT --> P3 IT/LUT -- Cineon LUT --> film recorder

or

Cam orig --> Log to Lin LUT --> Filmstock Emulation LUT --> P3 IT/LUT

                                                                                      ^   --> Cineon LUT -- film recorder

Also, could you speak a bit about the film recorder calibration process?

How do you calibrate the recorder to the grading system?  LAD values?

Thanks!
