    Thank You For Purchasing The NoamKroll.com Cinematic LUT Pack!

    The .cube files included with this package are compatible with virtually all major editorial and color
    correction platforms that support Look Up Tables.

    Below is a brief explanation of how to install and use these LUT files with some of the major software
    platforms that you may already be using:

    DAVINCI RESOLVE

    Step 1
    Copy and paste the .cube files into the “LUT” folder located here:

    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT/


    PC: ProgramData/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Support/LUT

    You may choose to either copy the individual .cube files, or copy the folder that they are contained
    in. By copying the folder, the LUT files will be organized in a sub-folder when you later access them
    inside of Resolve.

    Step 2
    Launch DaVinci Resolve, and your LUT files will now automatically be loaded into the software.

    Step 3
    Apply your LUT in Resolve by doing the following:

    In the Color Panel, create a new serial node and then right click on that node. Scroll down to “3D
    LUT” and then select your desired LUT from the sub menu. Once selected, it will instantly apply the
    look to your footage.

    ADOBE PREMIERE PRO

    METHOD 1

    Step 1
    Apply the “Lumetri Color” effect to the footage in your timeline. This effect can be found in the
    “Effects and Presets” browser, within the “Color Correction” folder.

    Step 2
    Navigate to the “Creative” tab inside the Lumetri Color Effect Panel and select the drop down
    menu next to “Look”. Then select “Browse”.

    Step 3
    Select your desired LUT and it will be applied to your clip.

    This method works perfectly in Premiere Pro, however each time you want to switch to a new LUT
    you will need to repeat steps 2 and 3.

    METHOD 2

    Alternatively, you can also install the LUTs manually in a subfolder within the Premiere Pro
    application so that you don’t need to re-load them each time you want to use a new LUT.

    To accomplish this, you will need to copy and paste the .cube files into the following subfolder:

    Mac: Macintosh HD/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro/Adobe Premiere Pro.app (right click and select
    “Show Package Contents”)/Contents/Lumetri/LUTs/Technical

    PC: C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Premiere Pro/Lumetri/LUTS/Technical

    Once you have placed the .cube files into the correct folders, follow these steps:

    Step 1

    Apply the “Lumetri Color” effect to the footage in your timeline. This effect can be found in the
    “Effects and Presets” browser, within the “Color Correction” folder.

    Step 2

    Navigate to the “Basic Correction” tab inside the Lumetri Color Effect and select the drop down
    menu next to “Input LUT”.

    Step 3

    Select your desired LUT from the dropdown menu and it will be applied to your clip.

    Please note that although this method is more convenient than Method 1, Premiere Pro is
    technically using your LUT files as an “input LUT” as opposed to an “output LUT”. This may be an
    important consideration depending on your overall color workflow.

    FCP X

    In order to use your LUTs within FCP X, you will first need to install a 3rd party plugin that will allow
    you to load .cube files within the software.

    There are several plugins that will allow you to do this, including “FCP X LUT Loader” by Pixel Film
    Studios. You can download this free plugin by visiting www.pixelfilmstudios.com

    Other tools such as “LUT Buddy” by Red Giant Software can be used as well. Each plugin will have
    it’s own unique instructions for installation and loading of .cube files, so please refer to the
    software manual for whichever plugin you choose to utilize.

    Avid Media Composer

    Step 1
    Right click on a clip in your Bin and select “Source Settings”.

    Step 2
    In the “Source Settings” window, click “Color Management Settings”.

    Step 3
    In the “Color Management Settings” window, click on “Select LUT File”.

    Step 4
    Navigate to the desired .cube files and click “Open”. Once the LUTs are loaded into Avid Media
    Composer, you can close the “Color Management Settings” window.

    Step 5
    In the “Source Settings” window, select your desired LUT from the drop down menu and click “Add”.
    The LUT will then be applied to your clip.

    Adobe Photoshop

    You can also use LUT files to color grade still images inside of Adobe Photoshop by following these steps:

    Step 1
    Open an image inside of Photoshop and then select “Layer” in the top menu bar. Navigate to “New
    Adjustment Layer” and click on “Color Lookup”.

    Step 2
    An Adjustment Layer will now appear on top of your image in the “Layers” panel. The “Properties”
    panel should also now be open. If it isn’t open, select “Window” in the top menu bar, and then click
    on “Properties”.

    Step 3
    On the “Properties“ tab, select the small grid-like icon on the top left (if it isn’t already selected),
    and select “3DLUT File” if it isn’t selected by default.

    Step 4
    Click on “Load 3D LUT" from the dropdown menu, and navigate to the LUT file of your choosing,
    Once selected, the LUT will be automatically applied to your image.

    It’s also worth noting that you can dial down the opacity of your adjustment layer to decrease the
    effect if you want to create a more subtle look.

    Happy color grading!
