Input Lut doesnt let me use the delog for FUJI

[Laura350596338xzr]

I have been editing a video in Premiere Pro ( the newest version). And I wanted to delog my video, so I put an adjustment layer and then wanted to put the Flog 2 to BT. 709. But it keeps putting the Phantom_rec709_gamma on top, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to fix it. It also puts that one on if I click Browse and custom.

Does anybody know why this keeps happening?

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

I think the issue here is you're not actually working with the massive new internal color management system. Which is in the Settings tab of Lumetri, the one you don't show in your screen grab.

I would suggest setting display color management, auto detect log, and auto tonemapping on, your sequence to Rec.709.

And see if you even need to apply an old LUT normalization process at all. Quite likely, they have a specific algorithm for your media, and it will be normalized to Rec.709 or HLG depending on your sequence working space.

I work for/with/teach pro colorists. LUTs can be useful, at times are required, but if you can replace them with an algorithm, take the algo. It doesn't have the built-in problems that always come with LUT usage, that most non-colorists never realize nor allow for.

As in, LUTs will clip or crush any data outside what the LUT was built to work with. Most 'factory' LUTs anticipate shooting in contrast-controlled situations with correct lighting for color contrast et al, and absolutely correct camera settings to match.

Much field produced media is not that. And the LUT can actually damage the image. So to use a LUT based normalization safely, you must apply the LUT in a place where you can 'trim' exposure/contrast/saturation prior to the LUT in the processing chain.

Which is not possible in Premiere if you use the Input LUT process.

So try the auto detect log and tonemapping. You can even set tonemapping to full, not quite full, or pretty weak. Or set the working space to wide gamut (which is the ACES-cct space) and your sequence to Rec.709, and the color controls of Lumetri will be applied to the data prior to the tranform to Rec.709, which many colorists prefer.
