Requirements

System requirements for Nobe LutBake

macOS Menu Bar App

• macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later

• DaVinci Resolve Studio — Version 19 or later

The free version of DaVinci Resolve is not supported. DaVinci Resolve Studio is required for the menu bar app's automated capture workflow.

Enable Local Scripting

DaVinci Resolve must have local scripting enabled for Nobe LutBake to communicate with it. Open DaVinci Resolve > Preferences > General and set External scripting using to Local.

Python Interpreter

The app communicates with DaVinci Resolve via a Python scripting API. By default, it uses System python3 (install via Homebrew or python.org).

An optional Use fuscript (advanced) toggle is available in Settings > General > Python Interpreter when you need Resolve's bundled interpreter for compatibility troubleshooting.

OFX Plugin

The OFX plugin runs inside DaVinci Resolve on both platforms:

Platform	Architecture	GPU Backend
macOS	Universal (Apple Silicon + Intel)	Metal

Minimum Image Resolution

The source image resolution must be at least as large as the HALD pattern dimensions:

HALD Level	Pattern Size	Minimum Resolution	Native LUT Size
4	64 x 64	64 x 64	16³
8	512 x 512	512 x 512	64³
10	1,000 x 1,000	1,000 x 1,000	100³
12	1,728 x 1,728	1,728 x 1,728	144³
16	4,096 x 4,096	4,096 x 4,096	256³

HALD level 8 is the recommended default. It works with any HD or higher resolution footage.
