A Quick Introduction to LUTs: Color Look Up Tables for Video

When a LUT is applied over your video footage, it shifts around the color information, similar to a color preset. However, LUTs provide better color accuracy and are more universal, allowing them to be imported in various programs, editors, camera and monitor displays.

Some of the most common uses of LUTs are for color correction, matching different camera profiles, film emulation, and cinema styling. It is important to note that when you are using LUTs for creative color grading, they should be used as a 'starting out point', which can then be fine tuned to achieve your desired look.
