LUTs!
What the heck is a "LUT"?
Is that like... more than a little?
The word LUT actually stands for
"Look Up Table" and it's just a series of information that
can be easily loaded into your video editor to change the look of your
footage well guess what Fillmore and I now allows you to bring in custom LUTs
that you can use on your own footage and I've made three of them that I'm going
to give away to you at the end of this video so stick around the naturalizer
this will make your footage look a little smoother, silkier and cinematic
when you apply it directly onto your project vintage black and white this
captures that real old-school feel of vintage black and white footage from
back in the 40s and finally good night thick this look I
can feel like nighttime even if you during the daytime so let's get to it
and show you how to install and use custom LUTs just like these in FIlmora 9
right now
Are you ready? Let's go!
So let me show you exactly how to do this
if you open up Filmora 9 and bring a piece of footage down into your timeline
this is a piece of footage that I got from pixabay.com
of some couples in the park if you double left-click on that footage down
in your timeline in the upper left it'll open up some options for to that piece
of footage now it defaults to the video tab but if you click over to the color
tab and scroll down you'll see a feature for "3D LUT" now it should be activated
with a check in the box next to it make sure it is so that it's actually working
and applied to your footage but then you'll see a drop down over here
currently no 3D LUTs are applied to this if you hit the drop down you'll see that
there are some that comes stock with filmora
but at the very top the second option down is load new lot if you click on
that and open up the file where you saved the LUT that you want to use I'll
be giving you some and you can use these the first one that I'll be giving you is
the naturalizer if you click on that and hit open it will automatically apply it
to your footage can you see how it's changed you can see this was a very
crisp digital footage of this people in the park, If I put the LUT in, it sort of
gives it a softer more cinematic look another thing I did in the opening
segment is if you saw, I gave it the 21:9 cinematic bars
The way you can do that is if you click on your effects taband then scroll down to where it says
"Frame", the very first option is the cinema 21:9 frame drag that down put
it on top your footage in your timeline and you'll see it adds those 21:9
bars and gives your footage that real cinematic feel now you can turn off the
LUT that's affecting your particular piece of footage either by clicking on
the check marks in the 3d lut tab or if you scroll up from the drop down you can
go back to the none option and it'll take any luck that you've applied off of
that piece of footage and brought it back to stock now let's try another let
that I'm giving you this one is called the vintage black and white if we apply
that one you can see our footage immediately turns into a very slick
1940s old-school feeling footage but there's other things you can do to
really make this effect kick into overdrive and let me show you those in
your effects tab if you scroll down to old film you'll see this options to add
dirt and dust to your footage like the old film that had been sitting around
and gotten scratched from being run through the projectors let's bring this
extremely dirty film down and I'll put it in a track just above our footage you
can stretch this out to cover as much of the footage as you want but you can see
once that's added it gives you all that dust and grain and really starts making
that footage feel old now if you click on that effect in your timeline it'll
open up the ability to control how much of that effect you want to dial in it
defaults to a hundred percent but you can pull that back so that it's not
quite as heavy an effect and just gives you a subtle bit of dust and grain and
scratches onto your footage cool huh now the last one I want to show you is
another really cool lot that I created and that is the g'night lot and if you
click on load new lots find where you've stored it on your computer and add it in
it's gonna give your footage that sort of overcast blue night look even if you
film something in the day clearly this footage was filmed in bright daylight
but by adding this it sort of gives it that nighttime effect and it looks like
these people are hanging out in the park after sundown
now listen I want to show you where you can get these particular effects if
you're already a website member to my website daniel batalla comm you have
already been sent this out in an e-mail but I'm gonna drop a link down below
that if you drop your email and it will give you immediate access to get these
particular LUTs yourself download them they're free use them any way you want
and you'll be subscribed to my website so when I have more
free stuff you'll be immediately notified the minute it goes live I hope
this was really useful and I will talk to you guys soon
PEACE!
