Important Guidelines before using LUTs
My LUTs are tested for specific apps called Lumafusion & VN. Feel free to use it with other mobile apps that support .cube files but do know that they may not have been tested.
You can also use the LUTs with Desktop version of editing apps that support .cube LUT files like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
Ensure white balance is correct when using LUTs! This will dramatically change the look of the LUT.
When using LUTs, your footage may need adjustments to get optimal results, such as exposure, saturation, contrast, etc. depending on your preference.
Shooting conditions such as lighting, weather, locations etc. can vary which can drastically affect a LUTs look. Some LUTs will work better in different scenarios depending the conditions.
My LUTs are made based on my preset tones, but doesn’t include specific effects such as smoothing, grain, noise reduction, or sharpening, so the output of your preset edited photos may not look 100% the same as your LUT applied videos.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Presets are a quick way to edit your photos, but you’ll also need to learn how different settings, adjustments, and sliders work. While it’s quicker than doing everything manually, the presets I made is a base to make them all look unified with minimal adjustments needed after being applied.
As presets is only for photos in Lightroom, LUTS is like a preset for videos. It will improve the look of your high quality videos footages, making it appear consistent and unified with your photos. The LUTS I’ve created are based on my presets and can be used in iOS apps like Lumafusion, or desktop softwares that is able to import .cube files.
The LUTs may need a little bit tweaking.
In Lumafusion for iOS or iPhone, you can adjust the balance slider.
I am not a magician, and I cannot magically transform the colours of a photo / video with a single preset. The presets are made to create consistent theme and unify your pictures as a whole, whether it’s for a photo album or your instagram feed.
Each gadget, whether it is your camera or your phone, each different light at each place is different. In order to produce the same exact tone for a picture, you need the same exact gadget, with the same exact settings, at the same exact place, & with the same exact lighting. So each photo will probably need little bit of tweaking for it to be consistent and have a similar tone.
Suggested tweaks after applying preset: exposure, color, and dehaze in the effects tool.
If you juggle between your phone & camera like me, please read about Color Profile and the difference when using different gadgets at the next question.
Most of all, all pictures will look best with a good light source which is the sun. No presets can ever help improve poorly taken photos. Please take your time to learn about basic photography & lighting. The presets & LUTS are made to create the BASE, for a consistent theme and unify your photos & videos as a whole. The best way to be consistent is to shoot with the colours you want on your feed while the presets & LUTs will act as the base for that extra oomph and unite your photos/videos as a whole.
