Removing all LUTs from clips in timeline not working for all clips, particularly multicams.

Hello everyone. In an attempt to prepare a project for the color team, I am removing all camera LUTs (Arri Log C) from all clips from the timeline. My method was simply to select all video clips using the timeline index, going to the inspector (extended view) and setting Camera LUT to "none".

This worked from most clips including multicam clips. However for some reason some multicam clips still have the LUT enabled on the timeline and the clip inside the multicam.

It's not clear why this worked for some multicam clips and not others. Same number of shots, same camera. For some multicam clips the LUT is being removed from the active angle and others it isn't.

Any thoughts. I am trying to avoid having to go to each multicam clip that didn't remove the LUT.

Has this library been moved between machines? Have you had multiple editors working on this same job?

My GUESS is FCP has lost the relationship between the timeline Multicam clips and their browser equivalent - for example, say you have an event called Edits (containing your Project) and another called Multicam (containing your Multicam). You put together an edit using the Multicam, but if you delete the Multicam event, then Reveal in Browser FCP will reveal a new instance of the Multicam clip in the Edits folder.

Hey Chris. I've been the only editor and it's the same library. I did a search within the browser at the library level for both clips side by side on the time line (one where the LUT did get removed and the other multicam that didn't) and the both turned up in the correct event. I only have two events: Main Event and Main Event (synced); the latter I setup at the beginning using Sync-N-Link X and primarily use that one. I searched like as as mentioned above rather than Reveal in Browser from the timeline because I know that if it didn't already exist in the browser and I did a Reveal in browser on the clips in the timeline, the clip would "populate" or appear in the browser on that operation.
