Ty Harper Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Any color matching experts with advice on the best way to do this? I'm assuming it would make sense to match the 5D Raw to the 1DC and LUTS would be the way to go, but I'm foggy around how it all works. I know I'd have to set up some basic tests with color cards and stuff, but would I have to create separate LUTS for different lighting scenarios (Daylight, Tungsten etc)? Or are the color differences between the two cameras a mathematical value that can be figured out and applied with just one LUT? All that said, if someone has already created LUTS for this particular camera matching scenario I'd definitely be open to paying for a copy.

cantsin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Use an X-Rite color chart and color-match both camera's footage in Resolve using the chart-based automatic color matching function. Optionally export both corrections as LUTs to use in other programs. Easy as pie, works like a charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the X-rite color checker and was going to do those same steps but I guess my main question was whether a LUT created under say daylight color would be something I can just apply to footage shot in say non daylight situations?

Don Kotlos Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Yeah you ll get best results when done at 2 or 3 different temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
