I. LUTs - Color Grading 101
A LUT (Look-Up Table) is a conversion profile that mathematically computes the color values from your original video, looks it up in a color matrix table, and returns a new color value to the video. This is a very high accuracy function that takes every single pixel into account. In terms of the computing functionalities, our LUTs have been tweaked overtime to impressively favor skin tones and natural earth tones.
.CUBE is the file extension for LUTs. These are the files you will receive in your downloads folder. Importing these LUT files into your software takes less than 30 seconds.
II. Using Color Lookup Tables
You can use LUTs in almost every Video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro X, Davinci, Sony Vegas, Filmora, HitFilm, and many more. Most editing software supports .CUBE files. You will want to locate where to import LUTs in your editing software so you can start applying them to your footage.
