Lift Gamma Gain not coming through

[Jake Wilganowski]

Has anyone noticed the L/G/G controls set in camera are not coming through to davinci when set to decode using clip metadata? In Premiere and Redcine they come through fine. Red Weapon Magnesium.

No issues here. I did a 6K Weapon project two months ago and it was flawless going through Resolve, all controls operational.

In the raw tab in resolve I don't even see LLG, and I did a test where I shifted it very blue in camera, brought it into three different programs and resolve is the only one that doesn't see that particular control - the other metadata controls come through just fine

I see Shadow, Exposure, and Brightness, but I never, ever use them. I only use ISO and Color Temp, and I use all the other controls within Resolve to do whatever I need to do. It takes much too much time to correct within the Raw pallet for the simple reason that they're not mapped to a control surface. Anything you can do in Raw (with the exception of ISO and color temp) you can accomplish just as well with the actual Lift/Gamma/Gain controls in the Primaries, or the curves or secondaries or log controls.

The Highlight control and Shadow control in the second Primary window within Resolve are extremely useful in some conditions, as is the soft clip Highlight control in the Curves menu.
