Removing all LUTs from clips in timeline not working for all clips, particularly multicams.

Question

Removing all LUTs from clips in timeline not working for all clips, particularly multicams.

Hello everyone. In an attempt to prepare a project for the color team, I am removing all camera LUTs (Arri Log C) from all clips from the timeline. My method was simply to select all video clips using the timeline index, going to the inspector (extended view) and setting Camera LUT to "none".

This worked from most clips including multicam clips. However for some reason some multicam clips still have the LUT enabled on the timeline and the clip inside the multicam.

It's not clear why this worked for some multicam clips and not others. Same number of shots, same camera. For some multicam clips the LUT is being removed from the active angle and others it isn't.

Any thoughts. I am trying to avoid having to go to each multicam clip that didn't remove the LUT.

Hi(bonjour),

Double click Multicam clip in timeline to open Multicam editor, select all clips and do the same thing in inspector.

Multicam clips are an odd entity. And yes, that's what you're going to have to do.

I'd ask, when did you apply the LUTs? In the Browser, or in the Timeline?

Thank you Michel. I am fully aware of doing this as an option, but I am trying to avoid having to find each multicam that didn't disable the LUT to do this just to go inside and disable the LUTs foreach angle, come back out and repeat the process for multi cams that my original method didn't work for.

What I am trying to figure out is why did a really efficient way of selecting all video in the timeline (which includes clips, synced clips, and multicam clips) and setting the LUT to none (disablingthe Arri Log C LUT) work for some multicam clips in the timeline and not others. That is incredibly peculiar.

I really appreciate that bye just selecting all the video clips using the timeline index, FCP was able to disable the LUT for the active angle of a multicam clip in the timeline without me having to go inside the multicam clip and do it manually....repeatedly. So the question is why did it work for some and not for other multicam clips. I have compared these clips in terms of active angles, how many angles, video formats, etc. and aside from the clips in them they're the same.

For the moment I may have no choice but to go in each failed multicam clip for disabling the LUT, but I would rather know how and why it worked for some so that I can repeat that since it's more efficient that way.
