Amazing tutorial. It was a bit hard to understand how the creation of LUT work and you solved all my doubts. Thank you so much man. New subscriber

This was a great tutorial, and also the first one that discussed grading multiple clips at once! My only trouble at the moment is that after all of this when I delete the node at the end with the colour space transform it goes back to looking very similar to how it was in LOG. My footage is in S-LOG3 so it already looks milky and you can barely see any colour in it at all.

Thank you! That was very well explained !!!

great video man! I love how you created the LUT based on the timeline edit, and not the invidiual clips. makes a huge difference if you want a consistent style!

Great video question I have been creating some lots for Slog 3 footage using the power grades that I have, the tools I have used are the Color Space Transform at the beginning of the node treen change slog to Arri Log and the end of the node tree is ARRi log to Rec 709 out and I have been doing all my tweaks with Nodes in-between the CST node at the beginning and the Rec709 Lut at the end. However I exports the out the look is different to the power grade. Do you know what could possibly be causing this?

Awesome work! Quick question, at 6:46 what keyboard shortcuts where you using to toggle the preview of the new LUT onto the other clips of your timeline? Is the process for this different if you were working in clips view not timeline view? And would the 33 cube file work for premere pro with those export settings?
Thanks!

[aliquintana]

nice and clear tut video. Thank you. Question, if you did corrections on clip base and leave them on would the created lut embed those as well?

[rRT_]

So for log footage i should get rid of the color space transform of my particular footage before exporting so i don’t mess up the other clips with my settings, is that right?

[shutterrstories]

I have used glow tool while grading so while creating a lut will it consider the glow node ? Also will I be able to add the 33 point cube to Vn mobile application?

[tonyt.]

Thanks man, great job. Very clear and easy to follow.

[DollyMusic]

Great information. Good work man! It solves all my doubts on how LUTs are created. However, I have one problem when trying to do it myself. When I switch to timeline from clips (1:57) it doesn't have any nodes there and it's blank. May I know what's the problem or what mistake have I made. Appreciate!

[Mahibalat]

Thank you so much your videos is so informative 😊

[CostasCh]

Hi! Midtone detail, shadows and highlights cannot be used for luts. Any solutions?

[Matt_McFaul]

Can one set a second monitor dedicated to color grading and Luts? The reason that I ask is that my back and hips are really bad, so for editing I have to recline and use a 55" or larger display. But for color corrections I'd like to have a quality monitor at my side.

[aliquintana]

Thank you, maybe a strange question I want to ask, Can you use a lut and then modify it before or even after the lut and export it as a new lut. For instance have a color space (and gamma) transform node and then export it as a lut. Or just make creative tweaks to an exciting lut and export it as a new lut?
