[Jonathan Holm] " Does it automatically read the LUT files that are in the same folder and apply the color correction to the clips?"
I believe these are just default settings. His plug-in uses his own curve values reverse-engineered from ARRI's log-C to 709 corrections.
[Jonathan Holm] "Also, is there a technical reason we can't finish with the Shaw plugin?"
He is processing in 8-bit and therefore considers these for dailies only. 10-bit values would be better. You may get some banding in gradients like skies. OTOH most of your footage will likely look OK.
