Exporting LUTs
To export a LUT to a CFast or SD card, select the LUT you want to export and tap the icon.
You will be prompted with two options, 'import LUT' and 'export selected LUT.' Use the storage
media selection switch on URSA Mini Pro to select either SD or CFast, depending on the
location you would like to export the LUT to. If you are using URSA Mini Recorder, you can also
export LUTs to an SSD.
Tapping 'export selected LUT' will prompt you to choose which card you want to export to.
Choosing a card will commence exporting, unless you are exporting a LUT that already exists
on that card. If a duplicate LUT is found, you will be asked if you want to overwrite the LUT on
your card, or if you would like to keep both.
Deleting LUTS
Your URSA Mini has space for six 17 point or 33 point 3D LUTs. To delete LUTs you are no longer
using, or make room for more, select the LUTs you want to delete and tap the icon. You will be
prompted to confirm your choice. Tap 'delete' to confirm.
Embedded 3D LUTs
When a 3D LUT is used whilst shooting Blackmagic RAW on Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro models,
the selected LUT will be embedded into the Blackmagic RAW file that you are recording. The
3D LUT is actually saved with your recorded files in the header of the .braw file, and can easily
be applied to footage in post production without needing to handle a separate file.
So when Blackmagic RAW files are delivered to an editor or colorist, they will be able to easily
access the LUT that was used whilst filming, which greatly reduces the possibility that the
wrong 3D LUT could be applied to a clip. They can then choose whether to apply the 3D LUT
whilst editing or color grading the footage, and can disable the 3D LUT at any time.
When the 'apply LUT in file' switch is set to 'on' in URSA Mini Pro's record menu, the recorded
clip will open in Blackmagic RAW Player and DaVinci Resolve with the chosen 3D LUT already
applied to it. The 3D LUT can then be easily toggled 'on' or 'off' but will always travel with the
Blackmagic RAW file as it is written into the clip itself.
DaVinci Resolve also has an 'Apply LUT' switch in the RAW settings palette for enabling or
disabling the 3D LUT in the Blackmagic RAW file. The 'Apply LUT' setting in DaVinci Resolve is
the same setting as in the camera. This means that when shooting you can direct the colorist to
use the LUT by setting it in the camera, but they can switch it off easily in DaVinci Resolve by
setting 'Apply LUT' to 'off'.
