LUTs for RED

The conversion and the look are both inside the file, so there is nothing to set up first and nothing to fix afterwards. Drop it on and the shot is finished.

What it does to a picture

The same shot, without and with PursuitLuts.

The pier at sunrise through PursuitLuts Film, the sky holding its gradient and cloud. The same frame without PursuitLuts, the sky burned out to flat white. Without PursuitLuts PursuitLuts: Film

Our files render the same scene the same way on every camera we support, and we measure that rather than claim it. How we check.

What's in the RED pack

RED Log3G10 / REDWideGamutRGB

Every RED that records R3D, from Komodo and V-Raptor back to older Dragon footage.

Each format comes in three versions, each in its own folder. Web is for YouTube, social media, laptops and phones, and it's the one most people want. TV is for broadcast and professional monitors. Cinema is for projectors only, not Mac or iPhone screens.

Five looks, all included

Three scenes through each look. Every camera's files render them the same way.

Three scenes through the Base look: a face, a sunrise and a white bird.
Base. Natural and true to the scene.
The same three scenes through the Film look, softer with lifted blacks.
Film. Blacks that never reach zero, softer contrast, color pulled back, cool shadows against warm light.
The same three scenes through the Outdoor look, more contrast and deeper blues.
Outdoor. Strong contrast, deep blues, greens that stay green.
The same three scenes through the Travel look, golden and richer.
Travel. Bold, rich, warm color.
The same three scenes through the Golden Hour look, warm golden light with calm color.
Golden Hour. Warm, golden light with calm, natural color and clean shadows. Built from a hand grade.

The same colors through each look

Every color, dark on the left to very bright on the right, with a gray ramp along the bottom. It is the quickest way to see what a look actually does.

15 files in the RED pack: every look, every format, every output.

In the Camera Raw tab, decode to REDWideGamutRGB and Log3G10. That is what a RED gives you by default in Resolve.

The RED files are measured against a color chart, not just converted by the published formulas. We filmed a Calibrite ColorChecker Classic on a V-Raptor [X] 8K VV in daylight, at two exposures, and fitted a correction from the gap between the chart's true colors and what the camera recorded. Average color error drops from 5.1 to 2.9, and the worst patch from 14.5 to 6.7. It sits in scene light, before the look, so every look and every exposure benefits. Sony follows the maker's published conversion until we have measured that sensor too.

The same math, run on every pixel instead of stored on a grid, with the look, the output, strength, exposure and warmth as sliders on the node. Exposure runs in scene light before the look, which is where you want it and where a LUT cannot reach. One file covers TV, web and cinema instead of three.

It does not look better. We measured our 65 point files against the math and the gap is below what anyone can see, which is why we ship 65 point files. Buy this for the controls, not for the color. It needs Resolve Studio, it will not load in the free version, and Golden Hour is not in it because that look is a measured grid rather than a formula. The measurements are here.
