Though FCP X computes with 32-bit floating point accuracy, it's tools for color grading aren't too precise (and before Andrew chimes in, the ones in the wonderful Lumetri panel - no irony - aren't either).

To be honest, I have no personal experiences with this yet. Part of the grading process is wysiwyg, and you are taking away unwanted things step by step and can go back any time, like with nodes in Resolve.Īs mentioned before, a more precise way of translating colors than LUTs would be ACES. There are few objections anyone could raise against this. Or, of course, use LUT Utility, because it is an effect, has an amount-slider and can be applied downstream. A good way to deal with LUTs (if you have to) is to apply them to an adjustment layer underneath which you can change the original video independently. If you have a stack of corrections and effects (a 'pipeline'), they are on top, and everything you tried to preserve is lost. They always degrade the DR and colors, because the essential order of operations can't be changed. but even you shot with, say, C-Log, you shouldn't use them. You could better have shot in 709 from the start, because then you had more original data.įCP X has some rudimentary log-normalizing LUTs built in (>info >settings): If you recorded flat to capture more shadows and highlights, these values are gone for good after the LUT eliminated them.

It will make your edit a lot smoother too than editing the camera files direct. If you're going to use the same LUT on every clip I recommend EditReady to apply the LUT during transcoding to ProRes. So hurry to register and download a trial! A coupon will be sent to all subscribers.

If that's the case, I recommend a clean install.ĮDIT: Lut Utility still is available as stand-alone version for $29, and it also still has a free trial, here.Īnd: I just received a newsletter from CGC, that on Black Friday every CGC software gets a 40% discount. You can download that and see if it crashes.

Color Finale, which has a 7 day trial with full functionality (perhaps even Color Finale Pro, superior because of ACES) includes LUT Utility. Maybe since it became freeware, they stopped adaptation to newer FCP X versions, practically EOL. Maybe you installed OSX / MacOS another way. This is a crop of the instructions jpeg delivered in the download folder: No problem, I always do that anyway. Nothing crashes if I apply it to a clip, but nothing happens either.

The installation guide says that Sierra only allows manual installation of the plugin. Now with the new easy way to disable attributes it has become even better. Luts are too crude.īut anyway, since LUTloader is free, I installed it just now on Sierra (clean install) with FCP X 10.3 (clean install). With FCP X, you have many options to group clips and to batch-apply multiple "layers" of corrections on them using tags, combined effects presets and adjustment layers. Hadn't installed any of them on 10.3 yet, because I became aware that luts are not the right approach if you want the best results.
