How to "save current frame" in FCPX 10.6.8 that includes Custom LUT effect

I'm trying to pull a high res still frame from 4K DJI drone footage to send to an animator for a project.


The animator needs the frame to be hi-res and pre colour-corrected, however when I import the clip I'm not able to bake-in a LUT through the clip INFO Inspector (no "Camera LUT" option is available). I can still add the LUT by adding Custom LUT as an Effect, but the LUT isn't included in the export of the still frame because it's not hard-baked in to the original footage.


Is there a workaround here? What am I doing wrong?


TL;DR — Two main questions:

  1. Is there a way to bake-in a LUT to the original footage when "Camera LUT" isn't an option through the clip INFO inspector; or
  2. Is there a way to export via "Save Current Frame" a hi-res frame that includes the Effect (in this case, Custom LUT effect).


Thanks everyone. If I'm an idiot, feel free to let me know.
