How to Get the Look for Free
Trub Film LUT is designed to transform LOG or flat footage into a rich, saturated image that mimics the look of 35mm cinema film. Instead of dealing with washed-out yellow, orange, or green tones, you can quickly achieve a more balanced, filmic result. It helps your footage look closer to the movies you love, giving it a polished, cinematic style that feels natural and visually appealing to audiences.

what's a LUT?
A lot of people don't realize that how footage looks when filmed RAW, digitally, is not the same as what you see on the big screen. The footage is color graded, but what can also be applied is a LUT, or Look Up Table. A LUT automatically replaces colors based on a pre-designed template and acts as a color grading filter for your flat footage.

For Adobe users click here. Different NLE softwares apply LUTs differently and plenty of information is available online. If Trub Film LUT makes your footage look terrible, it's because LUTs don't always apply well to all footage. Different lighting conditions, camera settings, etc. might affect how the LUT interacts with the footage. Having said that, try rolling back the LUTs intensity, as that might help solve the problem.
