You should be able to save this Red to Sony Workflow as a Lut to use to monitor in a Red Camera for a Sony workflow if you disable/bypass the Red IPP2 Output Transform. Since both the RED IPP2 Output Transform and the Red to Josh Pine Luts takes a RWG/LOG3G10 image from RWG/LOG3G10 to Rec709(in this case) they should both act the same but with different color properties.


In Davinci Resolve

Right-Click on the clip with the Red to Sony Workflow and save it as a Lut

Back inside of Resolve

In Redcine-X

Go to "Preferences" then "General" to select "Show advanced Controls" then go to "Image Pipeline" to Change the settings below. Next close out Redcine-X and open it back up again.

This is what the sample RED.R3D image looks like with the Red Medium/Soft IPP2 Output Transform applied and "Bypass IPP2 Output Transform" disabled.

Next you have to Enable "Bypass IPP2 Output Transform" in order to apply the "Red to Josh Pine Workflow Lut"

Now go under "3D Lut Manager" then "Edit" then "Import" to select the "Red to Josh Pine Lut". Next you should see it in the list of Luts under the "3D Lut Manager". Double Click the "Red to Josh Pine Lut" so that it loads under the "Image:Grade" window, enable it and you're done.

You can make a CDL grade of the Red file with the "RED to Josh Pine Lut" applied to it and export that CDL grade back into Resolve in front of the RWG to Sony to Josh Pines workflow


I just made this quick CDL grade for Demo purposes so it's not for prime time.

In Resolve


I Imported the CDL from REDCINE-X and "Dragged and Dropped" it on the Node before the "RED to Sony to Josh Pines" workflow.

The REDCINE-X CDL translated into Resolve's Primaries

How to create an ARRI ALF2 look file with the Josh Pines Lut (ARRI LOOK GRADE for ARRI ALEXA MINI,MINI LF,LF, XT and AMIRA). The Alexa 35 requires a LOG to LOG creative look with no ODT( Output Display Transform) included so this won't be compatible with an ALF4 look file. You could possibly send an AWG4/ALC4 only signal out of the SDI port of the ALEXA 35 and add this Lut from Resolve inside of the Viewing Monitor for a similar result.


Settings in Resolve

With Josh Pines lut Applied to last node without grade

With Josh Pines lut Applied to last node with added contrast with S-Log3 18% Mid Grey point and slight saturation

EXPORT 33 point cube size LUT

IN THE ARRI REFERENCE TOOL

Find the same ARRIRAW AWG3/ALC3 file used in RESOLVE

Next, Go to the "LOOK" Tab then "COLOR GRADING" then "3D LUT" and select the three dots (...) to select the "Arri to Josh Pines Lut "created earlier in the bottom left-hand Corner. The Lut will show up in the Viewer Window.

Finally in the top Right-Hand Corner of the "LOOK" Tab locate the "EXPORT LOOK FILE" Icon. Give the Look file a name and save it as a ALF2 File.
