(Resolve) Using Nikon Camera Profiles in Resolve possible?

[Visar Sulejmani]

Hi everyone,

I'm using a Nikon D750 for timelapse and I'm shooting raw (NEF). I use LR to export the NEF to DNGs so that I can use them in DaVinci Resolve.



My question is:

LR and PS can both use the Camera Profiles (like Neutral or Portrait) via the Camera Calibration Profile setting. Is there any possibility to incorporate that profile into the DNGs so that I can use Nikon's Standard Color Profile in those files. Or is there any possibility to save the look of the profile as some sort of LUT, so that I can import it into Resolve.



I know DNG is pure raw data, but I thought maybe there is a way to do this, as I absolutely love Nikon's color science and would really love to have that in my Videos, without having to export the images as JPEGs. I'm not considering TIFFs, as those are just insanely huge files.



I hope someone can help me with this.

Thank you all in advance.

Just an FYI, a DNG image sequence won't be treated the same way that CinemaDNG footage from a cinema camera would be. I wish it were any other way, but Resolve won't let you use the Raw Settings tab with the DNGs that you generated from your NEF files.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.

I asked around in the Adobe forums as well and there doesn't seem to be any way to do or work around this, which is a shame as I really do love Nikon's color science.
