Direct LUT Import on Red Cameras: A Beginner's Guide to Color Grading
Here are the general steps to use a LUT (lookup table) directly on a Red camera:
-
Make sure your camera is running the latest firmware version that supports LUTs.
-
Import your LUT file onto the camera's media card or into the camera's internal memory.
-
Access the camera's menu system and navigate to the "Look" or "LUT" settings.
-
Select the LUT you want to use, you can preview it in the live view if the camera support it.
-
Choose where you want to apply the LUT, you can apply it to the live view, recordings, or both.
-
Start recording or shooting and your footage will now be captured with the LUT applied.
-
Repeat these steps to apply a different LUT or to turn off the LUT.
Please note that the above steps are general and may vary depending on the specific model of Red camera you are using. Refer to your camera's manual or consult with Red support for more information.
It's also important to note that LUTs can be applied to the footage during post-production, so if you're planning to do further color correction or grading later on, it's better to shoot with a "flat" or "log" image profile and apply the LUT in post.
