LUT

With the help of the LUT effect you can change the color of videos and photos and color them to match each other. You can achieve strongly alienating effects or also subtle color changes. Your source material remains in the original. Not only individual objects can be inserted into the effect, but also entire projects, which then receive the selected look.

You can find the effect in the Toolbox under the Objects tab in the Live effects section. The effect works with so-called LookUpTables, LUT for short.

To use the effect, you can drag it directly onto an image or video in the Timeline.

You can also drag the effect directly to the Timeline and then fill it using drag-and-drop or the Image object or the Video object.

After you have inserted the image, click the colored frame with the title of the effect in the Timeline . Now you can specify the settings for the effect in the Properties area.

2 Settings of the effect

Settings for LUT effect

Settings for LUT effect

Select a suitable LUT in the properties, from the gallery and check the effect on your image material in the Layout designer.
With the LUT "Neutral" no effect is applied to your image.

You can use the slider to influence the strength of the effect on your image. The lower the value, the more subtle the effect. With Amplify LUT, the LUT is additionally multiplied.

The settings apply to all objects in the effect.

You can use your own LUTs (images, cube files, ICC profiles) in the effect via the "Custom LUT" icon in the gallery. In Stages you can also generate your own LUTs in the Image editor.
