What color space do your LUTs work in?
Our LUTs are designed to work seamlessly in modern professional color workflows.
We offer a core collection of camera-specific technical conversion LUTs that transform log footage (S-Log3, Log C, BRAW, V-Log, C-Log, and more) into a clean, balanced starting point - optimized for Rec.709 - while preserving skin tones, highlight roll-off, and dynamic range.
In addition, all of our LUTs, including camera conversions and creative/film-emulation looks, are color-management friendly and can be used in most professional pipelines, including ACES, and custom CST workflows.
Our universal creative LUTs are designed from the ground up to be compatible with footage from virtually any camera. Whether you are shooting RAW on an Alexa or compressed H264 on an iPhone, you are covered.
How do I install the LUTs?
Installing the LUTs in your editing software is extremely simple and only takes a minute to set up. Upon purchase you will receive a PDF that outlines exactly how to use the LUTs in many popular software platforms, including Adobe Premiere, Apple FCP X, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom and more!
Which software are the LUTs compatible with?
The LUTs are compatible with virtually every popular video editing and color grading software, as well as many photo editing applications including Adobe Lightroom. They can also be used on set to monitor your color graded footage in real time with any camera or field monitor that supports LUTs.
What file format are the LUTs?
All LUT packs contain .cube files and .xmp files for maximum versatility across video editing and photo editing software (including Adobe Lightroom). The .cube files are an industry standard format for video-post production, so these are the files most filmmakers will use. Photographers may prefer to use the .xmp files as they can be loaded directly into Adobe Lightroom.
Is it possible to use these LUTs to monitor my video feed on set?
Absolutely! Many of our filmmaker customers choose to load the LUTs in their cinema camera or on-board monitor to preview different looks in real time on set. This can be an excellent way to streamline the color process and share your vision with clients or other crew members on set.
Can I use these LUTs on Log footage?
Yes, all creative looks can be used on any footage regardless of which color space is was shot in. If you are shooting in Log or any other type of flat color space, we recommend balancing your raw footage first (either by applying a translation LUT, or just by adding contrast and saturation), before applying any of these creative looks. These LUTs are not supposed to convert Log footage to Rec 709, so if shoot in Log, be sure to create a base grade first, and then apply one of our LUTs to stylize your image.
Alternatively, you can also use one of our camera-specific packs to bring your footage out of Log color space.
Can I apply these LUTs to RAW footage?
Yes, absolutely. The LUTs can be applied to any video format or image format that your software can handle.
Should I pre-color my footage before applying the LUTs?
There is no need to pre-color your footage before applying the LUTs as long as you’ve exposed your footage well, and your white balance was set correctly. That said, if you do have any problems with contrast or color balance, we recommend fixing those specific issues first, and then applying the LUT. Every creative LUT will always deliver best results when applied to neutral footage that is well balanced.
How stylized will these LUTs make my footage?
Each LUT pack is designed to have a variety of looks, some of which will add a light touch to your images, while others will be more bold. None of the looks are extreme in nature however, as they are designed to be as universal as possible. While every look is distinct and beautiful in it’s own way, none will overpower your footage - they will simply enhance it.
Which LUT packs is best for my indie film/wedding business/music video projects, etc.?
That is a creative decision that is best left to you - the artist! All of the packs have been successfully used on just about every type of project, so choosing the right looks and packs for your needs really comes down to a matter of personal preference and creative taste.
