Export Look options#

• ASC-CDL (*.cdl): Exports an ASC-CDL per shot.
  • The exported CDL combines all CDL and Saturation nodes of a shot’s look in one single ASC-CDL.
  • 3D LUT, 1D LUT and curve nodes won’t be exported.
• ASC-CDL + 3D LUT 33x33x33 [combo] (*.cdl): Exports an ASC-CDL and a 33x33x33 3D LUT per shot.
  • The exported CDL combines all CDL and Saturation nodes of a shot’s look in one single ASC-CDL.
  • The exported 3D LUT combines all 3D LUT, 1D LUT and curve nodes in one single 3D LUT.
• ASC-CDL + 3D LUT 65x65x65 [combo] (*.cdl): Exports an ASC-CDL and a 65x65x65 3D LUT per shot.
  • The exported CDL combines all CDL and Saturation nodes of a shot’s look in one single ASC-CDL.
  • The exported 3D LUT combines all 3D LUT, 1D LUT and curve nodes in one single 3D LUT.
• Pomfort Look Exchange Format (*.pfl): Exports a Pomfort Look File that can be used to transport looks to another Livegrade or Silverstack instance. It will contain every node of the look. You can learn about transporting looks from Livegrade to Silverstack in the article Transferring Looks from Livegrade to Silverstack.
• 3D LUT 33x33x33 (*.cube): Exports a 33x33x33 3D LUT which includes all nodes of the shot’s look. If the shot was created in ACES grading mode, it also contains input and output transform.
• 3D LUT 65x65x65 (*.cube): Exports a 65x65x65 3D LUT which includes all nodes of the shot’s look. If the shot was created in ACES grading mode, it also contains input and output transform.

Export look options for ACES looks#

If you select the according ACES grading modes the export options will also include:

• ACES Metadata File (AMF): Exports an ACES Metadata File per shot. The AMF is an XML-based format specified by ACES for interchanging the entire setup of an ACES pipeline, including IDT, and ODT, ACES version information for all transforms, and ASC-CDL including its working color space.
  • The CDL inside the AMF combines all CDL and Saturation nodes of a shot’s look in one single ASC-CDL.
  • Custom IDTs will be exported as CLF. If a CLF is used for multiple shots as custom IDT, it will only be exported once.
• ACES Metadata File (AMF) + CLF [combo]: Exports an ACES Metadata File per shot. The AMF is an XML-based format specified by ACES for interchanging the entire setup of an ACES pipeline, including IDT, and ODT, ACES version information for all transforms, and ASC-CDL including its working color space.
  • The CDL inside the AMF combines all CDL and Saturation nodes of a shot’s look in one single ASC-CDL.
  • Custom IDTs will be exported as CLF. If a CLF is used for multiple shots as custom IDT, it will only be exported once.
  • LMTs used in LMT nodes will be exported as CLF. If a CLF is used as LMT for multiple shots, it will only be exported once. Empty LMT nodes won’t be exported as CLF.
  • All curve nodes will be combined and exported as CLF.
