How to COLOR GRADE your footage using LUTS!

A question I am asked almost EVERY day is 'Do you use LUTS when editing your footage?" The answer is yes. I have made my LUTS available for the first time today using the link above. 7 different LUTS you can use to apply to your footage and get a new creative look with the stuff you have already shot.

Use them sparingly! In this video, I show you guys how to apply them so you are able to adjust the intensity of each one. Every LUT looks different when using them on different types of shots. It's important to keep in mind, when editing, that small tweaks and careful application will yield the best results! I hope you guys have some fun with them!

** The difference with inputting a LUT through there creative tab in Premiere opposed to the basic tab, is the creative tab allows you to adjust the LUTS intensity with a slider within the same tab. Either method works fine!**

When I first started using LUTs like these I would stay at 100 and didn’t understand but I have figured out some of the adjustments and this video has now opened my eyes to more possibilities. Thanks Peter! -American Paprikash
