Tried following this guide but I keep getting this error: ERROR: OCIOIPNode: The specified file reference '${CDL_FILE_PATH}.cdl' could not be located. The following attempts were made: 'C:\Temp\_ocio\luts\${CDL_FILE_PATH}.cdl' : 'C:\Temp\_media\${CDL_FILE_PATH}.cdl'. Why might this happen please? …

I really think its because you are not setting the initial environment up. I you add these to your OCIO config and place those two files in your ocio luts seach dirs then RV will be able to read the config before you load any media. environment: CDL_PATH: "neutral.ccc" LUT_PATH: "neutral.cube"…
