The intention of RCM is similar to ACES, to put all clips from various sources into the same space, unless that space happens to be BMDFilm Gen 4 you...

The RCM/CST discussion was moved here, your posts are still there: http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?22137-Managed-timelines-CST-workings ...

It's not random. You have to match the settings. You can't choose BMDFilm 4.6K colour science 4 in the RAW tab but set the timeline to BMDFilm 4.6K...

You shouldn't use a LUT created for Gen 3 with Gen 4. Gen 4 is intentionally desaturated compared to Gen 3 as you mention, but also the colour will...

No, just leave as default. In the RAW tab for a clip, set the colour science version to 4. Make sure the raw tab is also decoding as BMDFilm.

Yes. Personally I wouldn't bother unless you like Rec.709 more than grading from BMDFilm Gen 4 or are not that confident grading.

No, timeline settings can be left alone in general (unless you have a specific need for it). But you were using the CST plugin and had the input set...

There could still be strong saturated LEDs that clip the Gen 4 gamut, yes. That is expected. It should happen less than it did with Gen 3 though. ...

I have mentioned in another thread previously that Gen 4 would match Alexa the most out of our colour science versions so far, yes. The log curves...

You need to use a separate gamma in the timeline setting. You're telling the CST plugin that it's getting pocket 4K film (ISO400), but it's actually...

Its just for CST plugin, yes. They're actually transforming into Rec.709 in this thread which takes you out of Gen 4 into a smaller gamut. Personally...

Oh yes, I forgot the Pocket 4K Film was also added which will be the same as the Broadcast Film setting since they're both Gen 4. By those settings,...

This won't work with the CST plugin. In your setup it's trying to transform from Gen 1 and Gen 3, but you're actually giving it Gen 4. You'll need...

What is your test setup here? It looks like you're using the CST plugin to go into Rec709 from whatever space the timeline is set to? What is the...

This release also adds Gen 4 colour science decode support for cDNG RAW clips from Blackmagic cameras.
