In all editors including FCPX, LUTs are essential to use in color correction and color grading. See top movies made by Final Cut Pro here. Check this guide on How to make a big-budget cinematic look video with Final Cut Pro.įinal Cut Pro is an amazing tool to make movies. Thank you!! I will give these a try and see how this workflow works for me.Are you professionally into video editing? The free color grading tools can make your video clips amazingly cinematic. Try out these options and post back with your thoughts and results. As a bonus, you'll likely be able to use SVRT when you produce the final version, and that might take only a few seconds, depending on what other kinds of edits you've added. Once the LUT colors are "baked in" to the produced clip, you're free to replace your original clip on the timeline and then do all the other regular edits without paying any performance penalty. Apply the color match, then delete the short clip from the timeline and produce the color-matched original clip. Click on the Color Match tool and make sure that the reference clip is in the left window (use the swap button at the top center if they're in the opposite windows). Bring the new clip to the timeline, then select it and your full original clip. Take a 5-10 sec section of your source clip, apply the LUT and produce just that section. The 3rd workflow may or may not give you the LUT's subtlest details, but it should be pretty close and it's vastly quicker.In my testing, CDR produced the same clip with the same LUT in only 6:42, which is about 55% faster. If you have the full DirectorSuite, you can apply the LUT in ColorDirector.For comparison, it takes my i9 only 0:18 to produce the clip on its own - so if it's taking you almost 2 minutes for just the clip + title, you may want to temporarily get rid of the title and try again. This will take the longest to produce, and in my test project, producing just the LUT edit took 10:22 for the included 1:55 clip. Remove all other titles and edits and produce the clip with only the LUT applied.To get past those restrictions, you'll want to break this into steps and take care of the most intensive edits first (the LUT). This will allow PD to fully draw each frame, even in Full HD preview resolution, but it will play slower than normal and there will be no sound. Like you've posted, I see PD's preview stuttering even after reducing the preview resolution, and a workaround for that is to switch to non Real-time. I actually don't think many people use LUTs, or if they do, they're aware of how CPU-intensive they are and have adjusted their expectations and workflow to deal with them. If anyone has any other ideas, i'm open to trying them. Quote I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up sooner by someone else. This happens to me when I use the included "presets" in PD17. If I do this same file, color grading in Davinci Resolve, the LUT changed immediatly and export times are all the same (fast) There must be a setting I have set somewhere that it doesn't like. Render time was the same 1:43ģ - one color lut (70's look), same title. ![]() Render time 1 min 43 secondsĢ - minor exposure and color change manually, same title. Test Video (2:28 total time, 1080P 60frames)ġ - no edits, small title added to the beginning of video. Here are my results using different settings on my export: My computer is an I7 (8 cores) running at 4Ghz, 32gb ram, Nvidia GTX 1070, data drive is an SSD. I have shadow files turned on and off, makes no difference. I have tried changing the viewing resolution of the playback window but even with it set to the lowest setting it still just slowly putters along. ![]() I can apply some color correction manually (ie contrast or expsosure) without any slow down of any kind. My rendering times are equally slowed down. When I apply any LUT to the clip the playback window shows signficant slow down, almost as if I have applied some type of slow motion effect. ![]() The video clip is 1080p and 60 frames per sec (i think). I just installed PD 17 and was trying to edit a dashcam video to get familiar with the software.
