This creates a stack of effects that can be wildly inconsistent, confusing, and can slow render times to a crawl. The solution to this has always been to first apply a color transform effect or node to first adjust the footage to fit with the desired LUT. But, complex workflows and mismatched color spaces can create undesirable results. Applying LUTs to log footage has become extremely commonplace for productions looking to save time in post.
