Color matching and prediction: color correction tool v1.3 released! — Page 28

Not to my knowledge. I’ve never been able to export a LUT from the Color Correct tool and open it directly in After Effects. I’ve always needed to convert them in Resolve first.

Could one of you share a LUT that you created with the tool and one you transformed in Resolve, such that I can figure out where the difference is?

Sure thing Dre.

ColorCorrect generated LUT:

Resolve generated LUT:

Thanks! I think I see the difference. I will add the option to choose between a Resolve LUT and After Effects LUT. The update should be available by early next week.

There’s been a bit of a delay in the update, but I will finish it as soon as possible. 😃

Here’s the ColorCorrect tool v2.2. It has the possibility to export two types of LUTs:

1. For Davinci Resolve (DR)
2. For Adobe After Effects (AA)

In addition LUT creation is now faster.

Here’s the link:

Please let me know, if there are any problems using the LUTs.

There appears to be a problem with the After Effects LUT. Williarob tested it, and while it loads, it gives the screwy results. So, I’ll have to check what’s wrong.

Here’s a debugged version of the ColorCorrect tool v2.2. The exported LUT should now work in both Davinci Resolve and Adobe After Effects. I’ve tested the LUT in Davinci Resolve, and it works fine. After Effects uses a specific format for LUTs, which luckily also still works in Resolve, so it’s a single LUT for both programs. Here’s the link:

Edit: for some reason the old version was uploaded before. This should be the correct version.

Williarob has tested a LUT in AE, and it works. Thanks Williarob!

Thank you so much for this great tool. I’ve been looking for such a functionality for a long time.

You’re welcome! Version 3.0 should be out in a while, and will contain the automated faded print correction algorithm. Piota’s scan of the Spanish LPP of Star Wars should provide a good basis for testing the merits of this methodology for correcting an entire print, but the results have been very promising so far…

If you encode your avisynth script with ffmpeg, you can apply the lut by adding the parameter -vf lut3d=“filename.cube” (including the quotes). I don’t know if it’s possible to use ffmpeg filters with avisynth directly.

To get serious again, I actually don’t know how well x264 encoding works when using ffmpeg. But if you’ve got enogh hdd space, you can make an intermediate lossless encoding e.g. with the ffv1 codec (ffmpeg parameter -c:v ffv1) and feed the result to x264 later. It might be a good idea anyway, because the encoding is relatively fast and you can check the intermediate video if the corrected colours are ok.

Sorry for the late response. I’m working on something similar for faded film prints. You can find it in my other thread. Is this what you mean, or do you have something else in mind?
