In Living Color
An optimized color pipeline lets you try looks with ease.
Apply a library of LUTs in real-time to any video.
LUTs embedded in the video file are automatically applied (if you want).
High bit depth. 10, 12, 16-bit? Screen always uses the highest bit depth possible for your video.
Color sampler. Sample the RGB values of any pixel in their native bit depth.
Color management. Bypass color management completely, or view with standard color spaces. Improved color accuracy over QuickTime Player X.
Apply LUTs. Any LUT format supported by Lattice can be applied in Screen.
LUT library. Link to a folder structure with LUTs, or share your DaVinci Resolve LUT folder.
Gamma & exposure. Control gamma and exposure in real time, before or after the LUT.
Channel viewer. Isolate a single channel of the video, including alpha if present.
HDR. Leverage macOS system tonemapping for Pro Display XDR and other EDR displays.

Embed color space. Embed the color space of the video into the image.
Customizable file types. Capture a frame directly to HEIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or OpenEXR.
High bit depth and alpha. Export high bit depth (integer or float) image data and optionally preserve the alpha channel.
