This is 1 creative LUT from my LUT pack.
Creative Look LUT (Rec.709)
Give your footage a cinematic punch—fast. This single-look LUT is designed specifically for Rec.709 footage (Gamma 2.4), adding a film-inspired contrast curve, tasteful color separation, and cleaner skin tones without crushing the shadows or nuking your highlights. Drop it on, dial the mix to taste, and you’re done.
Why it works
- Built for Rec.709: No CST required when your timeline/footage is already 709 (2.4).
- Film-leaning contrast: Gentle S-curve with soft highlight rolloff to keep detail.
- Color separation that flatters skin: Subtle hue shifts to protect complexions while adding cinematic depth to the scene.
- Grain-friendly & stackable: Plays nicely with grain overlays, halation, glow, and creative effects.
- Flexible intensity: Looks great from 20–60% mix for natural results, or push to 100% for a stylized punch.
How to use (quick start)
- DaVinci Resolve: Place on a node near the end of your tree (after balance/exposure), adjust with Key Output Gain or LUT Mix.
- Premiere Pro (Lumetri): Apply in the Creative tab → Look, fine-tune with Intensity.
- Final Cut Pro: Add a Custom LUT effect, set Mix to taste.
Best practices
- Balance exposure and white balance first.
- If your source is Log/HDR, convert to Rec.709 2.4 (via CST/IDT) before applying this LUT.
- For consistency across cameras, standardize to 709 first, then apply.
