LUT Co

What LUT Co is

LUT Co sells color-grading LUTs and presets for filmmakers, with creative packs and camera-specific Log-to-Rec.709 options. The files use the .CUBE format and work in software that supports it, including Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer, Sony Vegas, Edius, Filmora, Capture One, VideoLUT and LumaFusion. Creative LUTs are designed for footage recorded in Natural, Neutral or Rec.709 profiles. For Log footage, LUT Co recommends converting and balancing it before applying a creative LUT; its Log-to-Rec.709 products are camera-specific. Listed camera coverage includes Arri, Blackmagic, Canon, DJI, Fujifilm, Panasonic, RED and Sony.

Products are sold as one-time purchases, starting at 49.00 USD. The catalog includes eight-LUT creative packs, technical LUTs and PowerGrades. Fake 8 Film Lab, priced at 129.00 USD, includes nine DaVinci Resolve PowerGrades, nine scanned film-border mattes, two grain overlays, 30 film burns, more than 25 sound effects, guides, tutorials and email support. Purchases include free updates for life. After an order is confirmed, the download link is sent by email and remains active for 24 hours. LUT Co was created by colorist Evan Schneider, who says he has worked in Los Angeles for clients including Nike, Puma and Vogue.

Who it suits

LUT Co suits filmmakers and editors who want .CUBE grading tools for supported video and image applications, including camera-specific options for Log footage. It also serves DaVinci Resolve users looking for PowerGrades and film assets, while buyers should be comfortable with a personal-use license and final digital-goods sales.

Limits

The lowest listed price is 49.00 USD for a one-time purchase, and there is no free plan. The personal-use license prohibits renting, selling, sublicensing, assigning, distributing or making the LUTs available to third parties; digital-goods sales are final once the download is sent.

Getting started

1. Visit the LUT Co website.
2. Choose a creative pack, camera-specific LUT product or PowerGrade.
3. Complete the one-time purchase.
4. After order confirmation, use the download link sent by email within 24 hours.

Verdict

Choose LUT Co if you need one-time-purchase .CUBE grading tools, camera-specific Log conversions or the Fake 8 Film Lab assets. Look elsewhere if you need a free plan, a license permitting distribution to third parties or refundable digital purchases.
