 Let's talk about LUTs. What are they? Who are they? Why are they? I don't know. Today, Mike is your guide to all you need to know about the powerful world of LUTs. L-U-T-S. What is up, everyone? My name is Zesty Mike, and today we're going to be talking about LUTs. So if you're anything like me, you might not have time to spend hours and hours color correcting. Being a daily vlogger, I record all day, and then I edit the next morning and try my best to get the vlogs out by noon. So the quicker I can edit, the quicker I can get the vlog out to you guys. So after about 10 years of video editing, I just discovered this new color correction tool called LUTs. I don't know how long ago it came out, but it made me do a little bit of a face palm. LUTs are essentially pre-made color correction layers that are camera specific. This is nice because every camera has its own look, and if the color correction is made for the camera, it's going to look all the better and require less tweaking to make it actually look good. So pick your camera, download the LUT, select your style, and throw it on an adjustment layer, and you're pretty much good to go. Do a little bit of tweaking on color and adjustment layer opacity, and then it looks pretty good. I personally use this when we use the GoPro. It makes things a lot easier and much quicker. Now LUTs work in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Apple Color, and DaVinci Resolved. And the awesome thing is some LUTs are actually free. Obviously you get more if you pay more, but there are free options for those of us who don't like to spend money. You know we're all about the free here on Tips for Zesty Mike. The ones I use are from GroundControlColor.com, and they have a free download for each camera they offer. Another thing to note is all the example videos you've seen so far are actually used with the free GoPro LUT. So you can do a lot for free pretty easily. However, using this one free one, I think I might actually invest in buying a whole pack because I want to have some more options, and it's actually pretty cool, so why not support the company? Anyways guys, that's it for today's video, but before we go I want to show you some before and after LUT color correction stuff on some clips that have color correction. You guys can actually see how it looks before and after, and before and after, and before and after, and stuff, and before and after. So let's go ahead and roll those clips before and after. Haha.
