Let’s start with the basics of LUTs
Let’s start with the basics of LUTs
What is a LUT? LUT stands for “Look Up Table”. It’s a table of values that spells out how to transform specific colors in your film to match the “look” of the LUT pack provided. This means making specific colors brighter, or darker, or adjusting the color values based on the LUT you choose.
LUTs are great for camera testing, mixing with other grades in post, and the Previz / Ideation / Look Development, using the monitor as a ” lookbook”. What LUTs are not good for is a one-and-done “magic bullet” for an entire project or as a substitute for manual color correction / shot matching / color grading (or any on-set department).
Download this free “Cinematic Looks” pack, which includes LUTs that have been designed to mimic color grades from various films for use on camera or in post to quickly try out new look ideas.

SmallHD monitors run on the Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy Award-winning PageOS platform, our intuitive, one-of-a-kind software that offers powerful tools, a streamlined workflow, and unprecedented creative control. On a SmallHD monitor, you can apply several looks to different pages, allowing for a quick glance at a wide variety of potential ideas. Below, we’ve broken down step-by-step instructions on how to add LUTs to your monitors.
Adding 3D LUT files to any PageOS-based SmallHD Monitor:
Adding 3D LUT files to any PageOS-based SmallHD Monitor:
- Download the LUT for your particular camera & log format, and save it to an SD card or USB flash drive
- Set camera to output the same log format selected above
- Insert SD card or USB flash drive into the monitor
- Add a ‘Look’ tool (Tools > Overlay > Look) to a page, and navigate to the 3D LUT file.
- Once added, adjust “Intensity” to dial in the strength of the Look.
