Luttieai grade understands log
ai grade used to grade log footage as it came out of the camera: flat and grey. now it converts it first.
how it knows the log
- a conversion already on: a camera LUT, a log film source or a cst from log stays, and the looks go on top. applying a look no longer removes it.
- your description: name the log, like s-log3, warm teal and orange, and each look starts with a cst from that log to rec.709, marked cst on the look.
- it asks: when a clip looks like log and nothing says which, ai grade asks which camera shot it. pick one, or choose it's not log.
dji d-log m has no cst yet. pick d-log m under dji in the camera panel first.
for ai assistants
the mcp server's ai_grade takes a log format too. each variant then carries the cst, and export_lut bakes it into the .cube.
