Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions

hashtag
Plugin not appearing in Resolve

  • Make sure the OFX plugin is installed. Open the Nobe LutBake menu bar popover and check the plugin status. Click Install OFX Plugin if needed.

  • Restart DaVinci Resolve after installing the plugin.

hashtag
Capture times out

  • Check the app's troubleshooting tips in Settings for Resolve connectivity issues.

  • Make sure Python 3 is installed and accessible from the terminal (python3 --version).

  • Confirm the HALD Generator node label matches the label configured in the app settings (default: HALD).

  • Make sure you are on the Color page in Resolve with a clip selected in the timeline.

hashtag
LUT looks wrong or has artifacts

  • Ensure both HALD Generator and LUT Generator nodes use the same HALD level.

  • Check that the source image resolution is at least as large as the HALD pattern (e.g., 512x512 for HALD level 8).

  • Make sure no other effects are modifying the HALD region in the top-left corner of the image (resize, crop, or pan).

  • Use YRGB color science in Resolve for the most accurate results.

hashtag
"No nodes found" error

  • Make sure you are on the Color page in DaVinci Resolve.

  • Ensure a clip is selected in the timeline.

  • If using Group Pre-Clip or Group Post-Clip, make sure the clip is assigned to a Color Group.

hashtag
Plugin does not save LUT

  • Check that the LUT Generator node has a valid Output Path set (either via the plugin UI or through the trigger file).

  • If using the menu bar app, make sure the output folder exists and is writable.

  • Check the Console.app logs for any error messages from the app.

hashtag
DRX export fails

  • DRX export requires a Gallery album to be accessible. Make sure the Gallery is not in a locked state.

  • Resolve adds its own suffix to DRX filenames — the file may be saved with a different name than expected.

hashtag
Keyboard shortcut not working

  • Make sure the app is running in the menu bar.

  • Check System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility — Nobe LutBake needs accessibility permissions to register global keyboard shortcuts.

  • If the shortcut conflicts with another app, change it in Settings > Shortcuts.
