Create a 3D LUT for Resolve | DisplayCAL & ArgyllCMS

The only way to accurate grade your film is with a calbrated display.

Post color professionals preach this relentlessly, because it's true. But what if you're an independent filmmaker without the budget for high end displays that support hardware calibration? Do you buy a colorimeter and create an ICC profile? Not ideal.

The best way to grade on a budget is a small display hooked up to something like the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G (or Decklink card). Hook up a display with 100% Rec.709 support and then use DisplayCAL and ArgyllCMS to create a 3D LUT file that can be used inside Resolve.

This solution is one of the most inexpensive choices for indie filmmakers on a budget.

However, using DisplayCAL is no walk in the park. It's more like walking into a tornado.

This lesson shows you how to use DisplayCAl to calibrate your display and create a 3D LUT file that you can use in Resolve.
