multiple camera or lutbox #16

Open lenstar opened 3 years ago

lenstar commented 3 years ago

I really like this software and want to have some extra feature but i can't write code so i hope someone could help me.

I have multiple lutboxes where i can upload a cube file to it. Only when i press generate lut in the lutcalc it remembers the last save location. And need to search for the right folder and overrite the file this takes a lot of time and handling and when i want to adjust the lut it needs to remember the last settings for that lutbox and not the last one i saved

So a solution would be to have multiple taps lutbox 1, lutbox 2, ect with the same programe where it remembers the save location and settings of the lut.

Would love to get in contact with someone how could create this

Hi lenstar,

I've recently updated a few things in LUTCalc, and completely rewritten the wrapper code for the MacOS app version.

Settings->Save Settings should save the state of all the settings and adjustments, if you then want to reload to change things later. The default is a date, but you could just add a LUTBox name as well.

The MacOS app now has a proper 'file' menu at the top of the desktop, with 'Open Recent' and 'Save Settings', and the option to set default settings, so that it starts up with whatever base settings you prefer.

As for having a set of predefined destinations, I would find that tricky to implement on the web app side of things, as for security reasons the various browsers tend to be pretty strict these days with Javascript file handling. I'll have to have a think about it!

Hi Ben, thank you for your quick reply. I have bought you Mac version already what I is nice!

I think I have to make it a bit more clear and explain what my goal is.

I have 4 lutboxes (could be more) that are able to look to a folder with an .cube file and automatic update that lut by looking for a new file every 1 sec. So Lutbox get's a new file upload when you do a save of that file (friend of my wrote a simple python script for it) I want to use this lutboxes as color correctors for a monitor in set. Or on some camera's in a live situation. You could say way don't you use Livegrade or live looks. This could be much cheaper solution and good enough swell.

What would be nice is to have some tab's where you could switch between different lut's include the complete settings. I tried to copy the program and open it multiple times and that works only the software remembers the save settings only one time :) So they are the at same location. And the last request would be to have a shortcut for the save(generate lut)

Let me know your thought and questions Lennert
