Cinema LUT Collection by Alvis Oh

A collection of cinematic LUTs for LOG profiles & Rec709 footage I use for my videos to give my footage an aesthetic look and feel.

These are created and tested only for Sony and Canon cameras but can also be used for videos captured with cinematography cameras such as RED.

You don't have to spend hours just to color grade your footage. Simply put your videos onto the timeline of your editing software, put the LUTs, and customize the look and feel to your liking.

What's inside?

• 8 LUTs for Rec709 (.cube files)
• 8 LUTs for LOG (.cube files)
• Compatible with CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut X, DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop, and any other software that utilizes 3D LUTs.
• Sony Look Profiles + Technical Summary of S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3 

How to create the best results:

Make sure to lower the opacity of the LUT and adjust the contrast, highlights and vibrance of your footage to fine-tune the look to your style.

While these LUTs are designed to work with any footage, you will get the best results if your clips are shot in a flat picture profile for better dynamic range (eg. LOG C, SLOG or C-LOG).

For footage that has already been corrected, the Rec709 LUTs will work best, for LOG footage, the LOG LUTs will work best.

How to use them?
When applying a LUT, if you find the result too intense for your footage, start by decreasing the contrast, highlights and vibrance values of your footage to create the desired result before decreasing the opacity of the LUT. Decreasing the opacity, will result in loss of the colour values built into it. I personally find setting the opacity between 70-90% and adjusting the contrast and highlights works best for me.

The same concept applies to white balance. If your image is looking too warm or cool, a simple white balance correction will instantly fix this. To achieve the best results, make sure to correct the white balance of your footage before applying the LUT.

My personal recommendation would be to first apply your camera manufacturers Rec709 conversion LUT for your specific color profile (you can find these on the manufacturers website – I've included Sony's SLOG2 and SLOG3 Look Profiles in the package) and then apply one of the Rec709 LUTs from this collection. This will ensure the best color reproduction for your specific camera.

If you are unsure how to install LUTs into your video editing software, a simple YouTube search will solve all your problems.
