Dude this video was a life saver. Looking into LUTS and getting into doing some videos. This really helped thank you. Dude and your presets look awesome as well.

Ok, so after a major headache...frustration, much youtube watching, trial and error on other LUTS...two hours later I finally FIND THIS INCREDIBLE video. I downloaded the Kurt Von Studios Retro Film Luts and it worked like a charm! I can't thank you enough for this amazingly helpful video! Keep up the great work.

Great video. Nobody else on Youtube seemed to be able to give simple and clear instructions on how to do this. You obviously are a natural teacher. Great job!

[RomanyMalco]

You also gave a masterclass on how to make a quality YouTube video with no fluff. Well done!

[RyanDunton]

I love the pace of this video. Instead of wasting time, you cut right to the chase

[UpperVIP]

You know what? A massive HUGE THANK YOU to you for making this a simple and easy to understand video, taking time to hover over the selections. Far too many people rush and you cannot see what is going on. You are a thinking editors dream!

Finally a useful video! It should be no 1 on a search term "how to import custom lut on FCPX". Other videos just show how to drag or apply a lut.

[TwoTinkers]

You are just awesome! I spent 2 hours figuring this out. While others trying to sell their custom LUTs, you are straight to the point. Thank you mate!

Hey... thanks... I'm just a beginner. I had some cube files, and I almost deleted them, because I didn't know what to do with them. Before I deleted them, I looked up what a cube file was, and came across your video. I saved them to a folder in motion templates and tried out the custom lut effect. It worked!

Man I heard that music in the beginning and thought I'd clicked on an old Idubbbz video 😆 Either way, I appreciate this video, really needed it because I just started using Final Cut Pro :)
