LUT Correction
LUT correction is the process of using a Look-Up Table (LUT) to enhance and transform the color of your footage. A LUT acts as a preset color profile that can take flat or log footage and convert it into a more natural, balanced look, or apply a specific cinematic style. It helps adjust contrast, highlights, shadows, and overall color tones while keeping your edits consistent across multiple clips. LUTs are not meant to replace color grading, but instead to speed up your workflow and give your videos a polished, professional look with minimal effort.
