Super Members Mattias Burling Posted February 29, 2016 Super Members Share Posted February 29, 2016 One of the guys behind the looks in Instagram has released a set of LUTs. Whats great, and also bad, its that they are quick drag-n-drops for Rec709. So little to no adjustment needed. As you can imagine the "vintage" is strong with these. But there are some modern looks as well. I count at least 5, flipping through them, that will give a very nice base for a modern non vintage and non stualized look (only used one of them in the video, couldn't help myself, went for the Insta Look ). I just played around with them a little today. So don't take it as "finished looks" but more what base for tweaking they would give you. Some bars and grain and possibly a vignette would probably really make it true "Instagram", but I didn't do it this time, I plan on using them on NX500 footage which I almost exclusively shoot in standard PP and full auto. For Log I will stick to my regular grading. (even though Log to Rec709 Luts are included. BTW: Last time I did this, some where upset so I say it again to clarify. These are LUTs, they are ment to be tweaked. They aren't a quick fix for everything. The reason I didn't last time, nor this time, tweak to much is because then the viewer will have no idea what part of the grade the LUT stood for.

boxtree Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hey Mattias I am new to Luts and colour grading, would you say these ascend Luts are the best route for a beginner and are they worth the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they are a bit pricy I think. There are plenty of cheap or free LUTs floating around that might be better to start of with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 13, 2016 Author Super Members Share Posted April 13, 2016 Old thread but its the first time Im using them. And I think it illustrates why I find these type of Drag-n-Drop LUTs useful from time to time. This was a pure random, just out of boredom type of point&shoot video. A memory for myself of the time I worked in Poland for a week. Didnt care about focus, exposure or stability. Nor do I want to spend any time on grading. Thats when a quick LUT-slap and some over the top grain is perfect to give it a little feel. No tweaking no curves, no Lift/Gamma/Gain, just dropped it on and left it at that. BTW, as always grain is preserved better on Vimeo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
