View Apple Log footage with a Rec.709 conversion LUT?

[dave]

I have to preview a lot of footage shot in Apple Log format. Is it possible to get MPV to apply a LUT to convert it to Rec.709?

you might be looking for --image-lut=, --image-lut-type=, --target-lut=, --lut= or --lut-type=. see our documentation.

I have 550 LUTs (all free) that I can use by cycling through some shortcuts. Can encode with them too if not changing resolution. I use encode.lua to encode the LUTs

this is the crucial part in encodelut.lua
-- LUT3D cube filter
local homedir = os.getenv("HOME")
local lut = string.format("%s", mp.get_property_osd("lut"))
local lutnew = string.gsub(lut, "~", "")
local lutuserpath = "lut3d=" .. homedir .. lutnew
local settings = {
detached = true,
container = "",
only_active_tracks = false,
preserve_filters = true,
append_filter = lutuserpath,
codec = "",
output_format = "$f_$n.mp4",
output_directory = "",
ffmpeg_command = "ffmpeg",
print = true,
}
