The look I was chasing for years
I’ve tried tons of LUTs for my Sony FX30 and nothing came close. I'm now literally just using one of your LUTs (the Vision3 display lut) on EVERYTHING 😄

Here you can find the most asked questions about my Color Grading products, Presets and Bundles for Filmmakers.
What is a LUT?
LUTs (.cube or .3dl files) are preset color profiles for color grading video footage in programs like Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinici Resolve. You can also visit THIS PAGE to learn more about LUTs in general and how to use them.
How to install a LUT?
You don't have to install a LUT. You can simply import it into your video editing software as an effect or add it to an adjustment layer.
How to use a LUT in Final Cut Pro X?
In FCPX search for "Custom LUT" in your Effects Browser to add the effect to your footage. Then select your LUT from the dropdown menu on the right side. You can also use a third party plugin to add a LUT to your footage.
How to use a LUT in Premiere Pro?
Select the clip or adjustment layer you want to add your LUT to, then open up Lumetri Color and select your LUT file in the "Basic Correction" or "Creative" Tab.
In which programs can I use LUTs?
You can use my 3D .cube LUTs in any video editing software like Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or any other software that supports 3D LUTs.
How do I install Lightroom Presets?
On Lightroom Desktop, simply add the presets by clicking the "import" button after opening up the presets panel on the right side of the screen. Your presets get synced automatically to your mobile version of Adobe Lightroom.
Can I use your Presets on JPG photos as well?
Yes, you can - But you will get the best results if you are shooting in RAW.
My photos look blown out or completely off color
Make sure to play around with the following settings in Lightroom to get better results: Exposure (if your photo is too dark or bright) or Temperature (If your photo is too cold/blue or warm/orange).
Do I need the latest version of Lightroom?
Yes, you should always keep your version updated to make sure that my Presets work.
Where can I download my files?
Once you completed your purchase and the order is paid you can find your download link on the confirmation page as well as in the email sent to you after purchase.
