HD Video Pro - Help Desk: LUTs, Looks And Scene Files | HDVideoPro.com
At a recent AbelCine seminar introducing the new ALEXA Studio camera, I gave a presentation on ARRI's Look Files and their online LUT generator. Afterwards, several people asked me to describe the difference between a Look File and a LUT. I explained that ARRI's Look Files were more like Scene Files. It seemed like an easy answer, but it just opened the door to more questions. With more and more cameras shooting in flat-looking Log modes or RAW, the topic of LUTs on set and their implications in post have become big points of discussion. At the same time, there are many cameras that utilize the more traditional Scene Files for control of color and contrast. Furthermore, there are cameras like the ARRI ALEXA and RED EPIC that offer their own unique types of image control. The confusion is understandable. Let me start by explaining some of the terms.
