Overview

Apply professional 3D Look-Up Tables (LUTs) directly to your video files online. This tool allows you to upload a video, select a LUT file in formats like .cube or .3dl, configure interpolation modes, and export the color-graded video in formats like MP4, MOV, or WebM while preserving the original audio track.

When to Use

  • When you need to apply a cinematic color grade to raw or log video footage using a standard .cube or .3dl LUT file.
  • When you want to preview how a specific 3D LUT looks on your video clip without opening heavy desktop editing software.
  • When you need to quickly convert a video to a different format while baking in a color profile.

How It Works

  • Upload your source video file and your 3D LUT file (such as .cube, .3dl, or .vf).
  • Choose your preferred interpolation mode, such as Tetrahedral for high-quality color rendering or Trilinear.
  • Select the desired output format (MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, or MOV) and choose whether to keep the audio track.
  • Process the video to apply the color grading and download the finalized file.

Use Cases

Color grading log footage from mirrorless cameras to match a specific cinematic style using a .cube LUT.
Quick color correction of social media clips before publishing to platforms like YouTube or Instagram.
Testing and comparing different LUT presets on a test clip using different interpolation algorithms.

Examples

1. Cinematic Log Footage Grading

Videographer
Background
A videographer shot a short promo video in S-Log3 and needs to quickly apply a standard Rec.709 conversion LUT to preview the footage.
Problem
The raw footage looks flat and desaturated, and they need to apply a .cube LUT without launching a full NLE.
How to Use
Upload the raw MP4 video file and the Rec.709 conversion .cube file. Set the interpolation to Tetrahedral, choose MP4 as the output format, keep the audio enabled, and run the tool.
Example Config
{
  "interpolation": "tetrahedral",
  "outputFormat": "mp4",
  "keepAudio": true
}
Outcome
A vibrant, color-graded MP4 video ready for client review.

2. Quick Color Correction for WebM Export

Social Media Content Creator
Background
A creator has a quick gaming highlight clip and wants to apply a stylized creative LUT for a retro look, then export it as a lightweight WebM.
Problem
The original video lacks contrast, and the target platform requires WebM format.
How to Use
Upload the source AVI video and the retro style .3dl LUT file. Select WebM as the output format and set the interpolation to Trilinear.
Example Config
{
  "interpolation": "trilinear",
  "outputFormat": "webm",
  "keepAudio": true
}
Outcome
A stylized WebM video with the retro color grade applied, ready for web upload.
