Instagram Luts Color Filters Preset
Tutorial
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
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
You 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” efect 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, 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.
