Convert BT 2020 to REC 709

Hi,

I use my ZVE10 to record in HLG3 and it created a BT 2020 footage. I am planning to use the Paul Lemming Lut. In Davinci reslove, I would first change going to properties and adjusted to REC 709 for LED monitor and export in Rec 709. Does Magix Movie studio has the same function.

. . . . I would first change going to properties and adjusted to REC 709 for LED monitor and export in Rec 709 . . . .

There is no 'conversion' needed, the colour spaces will be automatically changed for the display to REC/BT 709 or any other colour space your monitor(s) support and are set to..

Similarly in Movie Studio, and Video Pro X the colour space conversion occurs on export, the options available on export depend on which format you use on export eg BT 709 is standard for many formats, however BT 2020 is only supported by HEVC (h.265) .

Video Pro X does have the option to specify the colour space of the project and on export and includes the AV1 export codec which also supports the BT2020 standard.

LUTs are colour correction maps and will work in any video editor that supports them the most common format being 3D LUTS with a file extension of .cube

HI John,

Please see comment in Bold/unlined. (Program I am using is Magix Studio Platinum 2023)

I went into properties and this is what I see which is different than what you show.

So what you are say I just have to important my clip into Magix Studio Platinum 2023 and apply my Paul lemming lut. Than export it as shown in this picture . It will be converted to Rec 709 for LCD montior viewing.

Please reread the sentence above the image I posted - this refers specifically to VPX and the image shows what you would see if you were to upgrade to VPX.

Assuming it is a .cube file then yes - if you wish you can create a folder called LUTPresets and a subfolder LUTCamera in

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Studio version\VideoEffects\

Put the LUT cube file into the LUTCamera folder, in its own folder if you wish within LUTCamera, it should then appear in the Templates tab, Movie Looks - the image below shows how I have arranged all my LUTS.

Note - if you upgraded to Movie Studio from Movie Edit Pro then the folder path may be different ie

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Edit Pro edition\VideoEffects
