Color grading with lookup tables (LUT profiles)
You can color grade your video clips by applying a lookup table file, also known as a LUT profile. LUT profiles are typically used to recreate a specific film look that affects the overall mood of the clip. The LUT profiles contain color values that combine with the color values of your clip to create a new result.
Note: If you need to correct the color in your video clip, it’s best to do this before you apply a LUT profile, especially if you have several video clips that will have the same coloring.
LUT profiles let you recreate a specific film or creative look.
