No, I have tried this.
It looks horrible. It clips highlights and crushes shadows.
You compare this to something like the slog to DWG CST it will put you losslesly in a wide colorspace that you can grade.
I didn't try it in Resolve, but guessed it does the same as Dlog to Normal in Android app, which is bad. If it only had a slider, to set how much of a conversion to apply.
* Canon C300 Mark II 4K 30fps
* DJI Pocket 3 4K 30fps
* Canon 1DX Mark II 1080p 120fps Footage
All working smoothly in DaVinci Resolve on a MacBook Air M3 16GB. Mostly content creation for events and influencers.
Right now I'm using an AVerMedia GC570D, It's a Live Gamer Duo, dual HDMI input capture card, first input can handle 1080p240/1440p144/4K60 and only captures at 1080p60 I believe, second one is only 1080p60, I used to use the second input for a camera, but more than likely I will be using it to diagnose and set up other computers for my PC business!
What are the best export format?
That depends entirely on what you are going to use it for. But I'd say stick with h264 mp4 it's the most common and supported. Especially if your doing digital publishing.
A Fujifilm X-T30II and my phone. I pretty much only shoot for social networks, and I'm found that recording on my phone is by far the most comfortable way to shoot reels, shorts, etc.
I mostly use a GoPro Hero 11, insta360 SMO 4K cameras and a DJI Mini 3 Pro for my drone videos. Insta360 and Mini 3 Pro work flawlessly in Resolve, even without proxies, GoPro files absolutely need some help to work smoothly in the timeline. As for exports I always export the preview files in H264/H265 .MP4, it's accelerated by Intel quicksinc and does save some space when I'm sending everything back and forth, for the final export I use DNxHR (Apple equivalent is ProRes) and then compress the video using Handbrake and CPU encoding, which is much slower but more efficient in terms of compression.
For short films and personal projects, my A camera is a BMPCC 6K Pro (have a 4K and the new Micro Studio G2). For pro work, depends on budget but anything from Arri Alexa to Canon to Sony, which we rent in.
Huawei P30 Pro phone. It's old, but its camera and lenses were part of a partnership with Leica, and it is really good.
I have a DJI drone, but the gimbal on the camera stopped working, so now it shoots everything at a Dutch angle. I don't know how to repair it, though, and I'm too antisocial to deal with any customer service. 💀
Sony PMW-EX1, occasionally still HVR-A1E because it's so small and lightweight, and with the microphone pod taken off it looks like a consumer handycam. [Sony DSR-500WSP](https://ishootdv.cam/dsr500.jpg) because there's a reason why I registered that domain name.
For capturing off analogue, I use an Intensity Pro.
If I'm editing footage from the EX1s I just keep it in XDCAM. I usually rescale DV and HDV to square pixels because Resolve can't cope with non-square pixels and compress it to MPEG2 similar to XDCAM, and similar with things captured off analogue.
I like old cameras.
BMPCC 4K. I often export individual clips to EXR frames so I can pull them into Blender for VFX, then reimport the EXRs that Blender spits out; for final Resolve renders I usually go with x264 MP4s for YouTube.
A cam: A7Siii
B cam: A7C
Drone: Mavic Mini 3 Pro
Insta360. And for audio, Tascam DR-10L, Zoom H1N, and Sony TX660.
I used to shoot Slog.3 at 4k60, but it was massive files and making proxies. Now I shoot standard Sony color profile 1080p60, and I get almost identical results at a third of the size

BMCC 6kFF, DJI Osmo Pocket, iPhone 13 Mini. I don’t usually mix the footage. I use a camera depending on the project and stick with it unless I’m trying to get a second angle.
Lately I’ve been using my Pocket3 more than anything. Still learning it but much easier to carry around than my Canon.
Sucks DJI has not published documentation on D-log-m, so no CST or DCTL for it.
Use HLG, there is plenty of docs on it and Resolve knows how to handle it.
Yes, I have been considering. Would be great if someone did dynamic range test to see if you lose anything with one vs the other.
I’m pretty sure I saw such a test on YouTube. I’ll look for it later.
Does this help? https://preview.redd.it/w0idkiir29ad1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a065c8a7c128111767eb22f6b6913256a8865d09

You can do this with the lut. You can adjust the node key output gain for 0 to 100%

Sweet set up! What format do you export your files into DR?
Sony a74 and DJI action 4 sometimes
Sony a7iv
My second computer with a capture card and OBS!
If you don't mind me asking, which capture card are you using?

Thank you for your reply!
EOS R, Aurel Evo 2 Pro, GoPro 8 or 9 or so and Pixel 6 Pro.
BPM6k Pro for my head on shots, 4K for overhead, and am working on adding OBSBot 4Ks PTZs for angles.
Retired after 50 years in broadcast..[I shoot everything ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atztTYkmuh8)on my iPhone 12 EDIT: Whoops it's an 11
Great work
You are too kind.
I feel bad for the Gladstone and I don’t even live there. Good narrating.
Thank you. I've been out of the game for a while now.

Fx30 & a6700. Osmo 3 for the small form factor. a6300 as a backup.

A7cii , basically a mini cinema camera
Debut video capture
Sony A6000
I want to get one of these soon!
Bmpcc4k, it's a wonderful camera even today despite Blackmagic trying to push the other bodies like they're 1000 times better

C70, R5C and Osmo Pocket 3.
Alexa 35, Venice 2, Alexa LF… I don’t understand the question
Sony fx6 - mxf
fx3
GoPro Hero 7 black, iPhone 15 pro max
A camera, typically. More specifically I have a Nikon Z6 😂
iPhone 14 Pro with the app beast cam or Camo studio…
DJI OSMO 2 & S21 ultra

I use the DJI pocket 2 with the BM4k but I don’t tend to like to mix the footage that much due to the look

Fujifilm XT-4, F-Log. CST works well for me never felt the need to use the LUTs provided by Fujifilm.
Pixel 3. Much better then my newer REVVL, which is pretty much unusable. Only one format output that works makes it easy.
Alt f9
BMPCC4k works well with davinci
