Is there any easy way to bypass input LUT on export?

When I export small clips for VFX work, I'd prefer to export these without the input LUT enabled.

There are basically two ways I can achieve this right now:

Right click the source clips and disable input LUT, then export, then re-enable.

Or use an adjustment layer that I can turn on or off. This is easier, but seems to perform worse, especially if I'm making adjustments to the motion of the original clip, and sometimes doesn't work as well if the source is HDR. 

I'd prefer for there to be an option during export to bypass input LUTs. 

I'd also like an option for the project to have a default input LUT as well, rather than needing to set it up for every input source. 


I believe these are things you can do in Resolve, but I can't seem to find easy ways to achieve these things in Premiere.

What Input LUTs are you choosing to use? Premiere doesn't have them as such. The new color management system relies on tonemapping (an algorithmic process) rather than LUTs for log media.

 

So it sounds like you are applying a LUT ... ?

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Right click source, click Modify -> Color. Add Input LUT in this screen:

 

I generate my own LUTs. Do my own color space conversions and tonemapping, incorporating my own grading, rather than just standard color management. I have one LUT for SDR output, and a different LUT for HDR output.

Fascinating process there!

 

And it's complicated and unique enough that I'm not sure where the Fx send comes in your process. So it's not easy to guess how to handle your initial request of the thread.


Ultimately, you don't need to know much about my process. Just that I use the Input LUT feature and would like an option to bypass them when exporting. Or, like with resolve, a way to only apply a LUT to the preview monitor rather than to the footage itself, which would bypass it by default on export.

As for my VFX, because I'm going to apply different LUTs to different exports, I want the VFX colors to match the original footage, that's all. I apply the same LUTs to the VFX as well once they're rendered.
