CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
To load and administer available 3D LUT files the window provides the
following items:
Several sample LUT files are delivered with the DVS software.
They can be found in the directory lut of the software’s instal-
lation path (default: C:\Program Files\DVS\Clipster).
More detailed information about 3D LUT files can be found in
section “3D LUT Files” on page A-14.
Profile In the list box Profile you can see a list of the
already specified 3D LUT file profiles. Each entry
in this box represents one 3D LUT file. Select
from this list box one entry, for instance, to
change its settings, to delete it or to enable it.
ADD Once a valid 3D LUT file is selected and a profile
name is specified, you can add it to the list box
above with the button ADD. Because one
3D LUT file can be applied to one profile only,
with this button you can also change the name
of an already created profile or assign another
file to it.
DELETE With the button DELETE you can delete an al-
ready specified 3D LUT file profile from the list
box. Simply select an entry from the list box and
press this button to delete it.
LIN TO LOG Logarithmic 3D LUTs often expect logarithmic
material in the timeline (color values for each
image are stored logarithmically). With this but-
ton it is possible to virtually convert linear mate-
rial in the timeline to a logarithmic color space
before the 3D LUT is applied.
Custom Name In the entry field Custom Name you can state
the name of a 3D LUT profile. Either enter a
new name or select an already created profile in
the list box and change its name.
File incl. Path In this entry field you have to enter the directory
path and file name of the 3D LUT file. You may
also click on the button to the right of the entry
field ( ) to select the file directly via the
opening dialog window.

Visualization
When a profile is selected from the list box, its
3D LUT file will be displayed in the preview area
to the right in a color cube. Then you can view
it in more detail by performing one of the fol-
lowing on the color cube:
