Doing my first edit in PD16 after upgrade from PD15. I'm using CD5 to color grade. Now i noticed my edits in CD5 won't stick when after going from PD16 > CD5 and back. I have a "I" in the timeline on the clip but the changes from CD5aren't visible. Is this a known defect?
Thanks.

After some further debugging I found that adding a LUT in CD will cause thus issue. So this wont work:
PD16 > CD5 > add LUT and and other adjustments > back to PD16.

Hi Håkan K -

I can't test that here because, even though I have CDR 2-6 installed, it's CDR6 that's triggered when round tripping. I do remember there was an issue with the LUT adjustment not sticking with CDR5.

What happens when you (a) apply the LUT in CDR5 then (b) make some other minor adjustment, before going back to PDR?

It's not an issue when using CDR6, that's for sure. It's equally not an issue becasue you can apply LUTs directly in PDR16!

Hi.

Yeah I used the "apply LUT + make an edit" approach in PD15 to workaround that issue. But that dosen't work in PD16. I think there is a defect causing this to happen after implementing the LUT feature in PD16. So I have opened a case. Let's see what happens.

For whatever it's worth.

Upgraded to CD6 and problem is gone. It's even possible to apply a LUT in CD6 without making any additional change and back to PD16 and it's still there.
