YouTube Starter LUTs [2023]

CINE

CINE provides striking contrast and colors. Skin tones and landscapes come to life thanks to its double-complementary color scheme (teal & orange and yellow & blue). Even though CINE is colorful and has been developed with a strong grade in mind, it delivers all of these characteristics whilst keeping a natural feel.

DARK

DARK settles for muted yet intense colors. Fall in love with deep greens and enjoy an exciting highlight roll-off thanks to its double knee. A slight hue curl within red and orange ensures excellent skin tone, even at low luminance. The assimilation of specific colors introduces a subtle triadic color scheme emphasizing green, blue, and red hues.

PUNCH

PUNCH will bring your landscapes to life thanks to its steep contrast slope. A triadic color scheme around green, orange, and blue hues introduces a warm and earthy look. It creates a striking separation between green and yellowish-orange hues and sets the tone for more stylized looks.

VINTAGE

VINTAGE is inspired by the look of older ARRI cameras and renders rich colors whilst keeping a natural feel. Enjoy a beautiful highlight roll-off and a strong feeling of nostalgia.
VINTAGE goes best alongside some film grain you can apply in almost all NLEs.

SUBTLE

SUBTLE aims for a soft yet true-to-life color rendering. Your footage will feel like a great conversation in a quiet room without any distractions.

DESAT

DESAT is inspired by modern ARRI cameras. It introduces a good amount of contrast whilst feeling flat and film-like. Even though colors are relatively muted, your images will stand out due to the interaction with the contrast curve.

All LUTs

All LUTs feature a luminance-based saturation handling, which makes them feel natural and film-like. Shadows and highlights roll off to black and white without significant color tint to keep the grade as clean as possible.
