DO WE REALLY NEED LUTS IN POST PRODUCTION?

Colour grading can completely transform the look of your video, but unless you’ve spent years inside a colouring house, you may not have the technical know-how to achieve the desired look. The right LUT can help turbocharge this. So, what is a LUT?

This article will define and explain LUTs so that you can use them to colour grade your videos to give you the specific look you want. We’re also providing a free Ridley Scott inspired LUT pack to transform your footage. Let’s dive in!

LUTs help colour grade your footage. LUTs are the quickest way to grade your footage once you’ve colour corrected. It’s important to note that if your footage doesn’t match from shot to shot, is not properly exposed, or is poorly colour corrected, that applying a LUT will not work the way you hoped it would.
