If ARRI thinks there’s a good reason why you might not want to color correct with ANY of their LUTs – surely they think it’s a good idea to experiment with more than just the one standard Alexa LUT that ships with many software apps? I sure do. Therefore, using a 3DLUT with a custom look is a perfect alternative to using the LUTs provided by ARRI. You may prefer fully saturated colors or the bleak look of a bleach bypass process. You may prefer a more contrasty or a softer look. The situation is similar to choosing a print film. There is a certain degree of freedom when a Log C image is rendered for display. It’ll output just about any file format you’ll need to just about any app that needs them.Īs to the question: Why would you want to use a LUT other than the one that might ship with your software? Here’s a quote from ARRI’s website: It can generate files to upload to ARRI cameras, a reference monitor, editing software, compositing software, and color correction software.

The ARRI LUT Generator is an interactive online tool for creating all sorts of files that you’d want to use when shooting with the ARRI Alexa – especially if you’re recording or color correcting ARRI RAW or ARRI Alexa Log-C footage. This Insight is about understanding the Arri Alexa LUT Generator. If I find the LUT either slows me down, is difficult to work with or just doesn’t get me very interesting results then I’ll abandon it.Īnd this brings us to the ARRI LUT Generator, a unique tool among camera manufacturers – and a tool that is frequently misunderstood by post-production professionals. I’ll use a LUT when it makes my job easier, faster and the final image more interesting. If you’ve watched my earlier Insights on LUTs you’ll know that I consider LUTs an optional tool. It’s designed to be used with ARRI RAW or ARRI Log-C recorded images for viewing and color correcting in the HD color space. This Insight will take a close look at ARRI’s online LUT Generator for the Alexa. That Insight is somewhat of a culmination of our LUT series, teaching one way of thinking about and using Look Up Tables creatively. In Part 1 of this series, I showed how you can creatively work with a dozen different LUTs from the ARRI Lut generator. Understanding the ARRI LUT Generator: Part 2
