You
can output your film scans to video once you have completed the
film grading. There are two general workflows you can use to convert
logarithmic images to linear ones:
- Using the Render Viewing option
- Creating manually a Log-to-Lin conversion LUT
To convert logarithmic images to linear
ones using the Render Viewing option:
- Use the same project and the same source
footage.
- Switch to Lin mode. See
Setting Logarithmic or Linear Mode.
- Colour grade the footage for video.
- In the Render > Local menu, enable
Viewing in the Rendering group, and then adjust the black, white,
and gamma as needed.
- Render the files in the correct video
resolution. See
Rendering Shots.
NoteWhen Render Viewing
is ON, the output render format is set automatically to 8-bit BMP
files.
- Play out the rendered frames to record
them on an appropriate VTR.
To convert logarithmic images to linear
ones by manually creating a Log-to-Lin conversion LUT:
- Use the same project and the same source
footage.
- Switch to Lin mode. See
Setting Logarithmic or Linear Mode.
When you switch to Lin
mode, a Log-to-Lin conversion LUT is applied to the images automatically.
- If needed, access the Input LUT menu
and adjust the parameters of the default Log-to-Lin conversion.
- Switch off monitor calibration (since
the final render will also be seen on a monitor) and turn off any
Print LUTs.
- Use the Render Output menu to adjust
the white, black, and gamma as needed.
- Colour grade the footage for video.
- Render the files in the correct video
resolution. See
Rendering Shots.

them on an appropriate VTR.
