Grading Modes for ASC-CDL and Alexa Looks

LiveGrade supports different grading modes which are specifically tailored to specific camera setups and workflow environments. LiveGrade currently supports two grading modes "Alexa Looks" and "CDL Grade".

"CDL Grade" offers ASC-CDL controls for use with SDI signals from various cameras. It supports import and export of ASC-CDL files and allows to import 3D LUTs e.g. for custom log-to-video conversions.

The grading mode "Alexa Looks" offers the color controls for use with Log-C SDI signals coming from an Alexa camera and supports import and export of Alexa Look files.
