How do you create and apply a LUT in Lumetri Color?

• A. In the Lumetri Color panel, use the Look or LUT drop-down to load a 3D LUT (.cube/.look) file, applying it to the clip; you can adjust intensity with the Master or specific color wheels if needed.
• B. LUTs are created automatically when you apply any color grade and require no user action.
• C. You apply LUTs by rendering a new video file with the LUT baked in.
• D. LUTs are only used for black-and-white footage and cannot be color corrected.

Answer: (A)

A LUT is a preset mapping of input colors to new output colors, used to apply a specific look or color correction quickly. In Lumetri Color, you bring in a 3D LUT by using the Look or LUT control and selecting a .cube or .look file, which applies that color transformation to the clip non-destructively. After loading it, you can fine‑tune how strong the effect is with the global Intensity (Master) or by adjusting the color wheels to blend the LUT with your existing grading. If you want to create your own LUT, you can grade a clip and export that grade as a LUT for reuse, but applying an existing LUT is the fastest way to achieve a consistent look across clips. LUTs are for color data, not limited to black-and-white, and you don’t have to render the footage to see the effect.
