COLOR THAT FEELS INTENTIONAL
DRIFT is for footage that needs a cleaner color direction without looking overly graded.
It helps control greens, cool the shadows, soften highlights, and keep skin tones feeling natural inside a more muted, finished palette.
How to apply “DRIFT” in premiere pro
DRIFT is a LUT we created to be a strong starting point for almost anything you make. It gives you a solid, balanced base that already feels polished, then from there you can tweak skin tones, saturation, contrast, and other details to push it toward your own final look.

MOTION + ATMOSPHERE
Works on city movement, travel footage, and handheld shots where you want the image to feel raw, timeless, and less digital.
ASH is a black and white LUT we built for footage that needs a more timeless, finished feel without looking washed out or overly crushed.

FINISH THE IMAGE WITH GRAIN
A small texture layer that helps digital footage feel less digital.
Place it above your final grade, lower the opacity, and use it to add subtle movement and a softer finish.
GRAIN is a 4K DCI Super 35mm film grain overlay made to add subtle texture over your footage. Use it after your color grade to soften the digital edge, add movement, and make the final image feel less clean or overly sharp.

These LUTs are made for footage shot in S-Log. You do not need to convert your footage to Rec. 709 before using them — just apply the LUT directly, adjust the intensity if needed, then fine-tune exposure, contrast, warmth, and shadows to match your shot.
-
They load natively in 3D LUT-compatible apps including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro (via Lumetri), Final Cut Pro, and any NLE that accepts .cube files.
-
Slightly under-expose so highlights don’t clip. These LUTs thrive on preserved highlight detail and clean shadows, you can always lift mids after the LUT is applied.

Sell The Feeling
Built for the part of editing where the shot is working, but the image still feels unfinished. Use the looks to control the palette, then add grain when the image feels too clean.
