New in the PXL suite

Match the colour of one shot to another.

Drop a reference frame and your clip. Lut works out the look and gives you a .cube LUT you can use in Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut, plus a graded copy of the clip. Great for making AI shots sit next to real footage.

Latest versionFirst release coming soon · Free and open source · macOS and Windows

Drag across the frame to compare. Your clip on the left, matched on the right.

Features

A colourist's first pass, in a second.

Lut does the matching. You keep full control in the editor you already use.

A real .cube LUT

A 33-point 3D LUT that loads in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects and OBS. Apply it to one clip or the whole timeline.

Matching that looks right

Colour is transferred in OKLab, a space built around how eyes see, so skin stays skin and highlights don't go muddy.

Photos or video

Use a still, a frame grab or a whole clip as the reference. Match photos, video, or AI generations.

A graded copy too

Lut also writes the graded clip with ffmpeg, at full quality, beside the original. The original is never touched.

And a CLI

Batch a folder of shots against one look.

$ lut match ref.jpg clip.mov
How it works

Pick a look. Get the LUT.

No nodes, no curves, no scopes, unless you want to take it further.

Drop a reference

Any frame with the look you want: a film still, a photo, a hero shot.

Drop your clip

Lut samples both and builds the colour transform between them.

Export

Take the .cube into your editor, or use the graded copy as it is.

Private by design

It runs on your computer. That's it.

Lut has no servers. Your footage, references and LUTs stay on your machine.
