LUT (Look-Up Table)

Preset file used to apply specific color grading or adjustments to footage or images. In motion design, LUTs help achieve consistent color tones and styles quickly, saving time during color correction and grading.LUTs are especially handy when working with cameras that record in a log format, which captures a flat, low-contrast image to preserve detail. Applying a LUT transforms the flat footage into a more vibrant and balanced look, making it easier to preview and finalize the desired style.
