Hasta La Motion!

Hi, I’m in some doubt about the cineon LUT setting in the read node.
I usually use linear or "raw data" setting cause you must have some LUT assigned LUT to the viewer or the end of the tree(like the ARRI HD from FrameCycler) to work with a realiable preview to the final result.

What I cant understand is the function of the cineon LUT is meant to be. The cineon LUT isn’t almost near to the ARRI HD cube which is the real thing. Reading the dpx footage with cineon and looking through the ARRI HD LUT looks bad so, what’s the point??

Just take the famous Marcie.cin, read the file like cineon and assign a LUT like SRGB or ARRI HD. The result is an overexposed burned out image. The hair will be clearly burned out. Instead, if I read the file in linear or "raw data" it looks ok through the correct LUT.

I would like to know why do you use cineon to linear.

Thanks
