Red Giant Color Suite 11.1.4- Essential tools for color correction, finishing & looks

Color sets the mood of your story, from the gritty blue of an action scene to a hot red romance. Red Giant Color Suite contains six essential products for color grading and effects. Remove digital noise with Denoiser II, then soften skin tones with a Cosmo beauty pass. Get professional color correction with Colorista II and LUT Buddy; add beautiful color treatments with Magic Bullet Looks 2; and make your colors pop with Mojo. With Color Suite, you will create the perfect look that tells your story.

After further experimentation I’ve found that my issue lay with the CineStyle LUT I was applying as basic correction in the Lumetri panel. It was this, that had been converted to.cube with LUT Buddy, that was to blame. Re-saving this with PR CC 2015.1 solves the issue entirely. Get professional color correction with Colorista II and LUT Buddy; add beautiful color treatments with Magic Bullet Looks 2; and make your colors pop with Mojo. With Color Suite, you will create the perfect look that tells your story.

In this lesson you will learn how to create your own color look-up tables (commonly referred to as LUTs) in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.

What You Need

Besides After Effects or Premiere Pro, in order to follow along with this lesson you will need to download a free plug-in from Red Giant called LUT Buddy. LUT Buddy will let you generate and export the color information needed to create a LUT, which you can then use with any other software that supports LUTs.

If you’re new to LUTs and need a primer don’t worry, we’ve got you covered: check out our introduction to color look up tables.

Make Your Own Look Up Tables With LUT Buddy

I often refer to LUTs as ‘universal color presets’ because they work in a similar manner to a color preset, but they are universal in the sense that they can be used across a variety of different applications.

It is important to note that LUTs can only contain color values so, unlike
effects presets, they can’t read things like blurs, sharpening, or
grain if they are applied to your footage. These effects will actually
cause errors if they are applied when you are exporting a LUT.

We start with the After Effects workflow in the video above. The Premiere Pro workflow is covered at 6:20 on.

1. Create the Reference Layer

This puts a standard pattern on your footage that LUT Buddy will reference when it creates the LUT.

After Effects

Lut

First, grab your footage and add it to a new Composition.

Next, create an Adjustment Layer (Layer > New > Adjustment Layer) and name it Draw. Select your adjustment layer and go to Effect > Red Giant > LUT Buddy. In the LUT Buddy effect palette, go to Action and select Draw Pattern. Change the Pattern to 3D 64.

Premiere Pro

Put your footage on the timeline. Go to the Projects palette, right-click and select New > Adjustment Layer. Rename the layer Draw and drag it onto the timeline above your footage. Find LUT Buddy in the Effects palette and drag it onto your adjustment layer to apply. Go to Effect Controls and for Action select Draw Pattern and for Pattern select 3D 64.

2. Create the Grade

After Effects

Add a new adjustment layer above the Draw layer, and name it Grade. Put all your color correction and grading on this layer.

Premiere Pro

Make a new adjustment layer above everything and name it Grade. Select Lumitri in the Effects palette. Drag and drop onto your Grade adjustment layer to apply, and make your adjustments.

3. Create the Read Layer

This step puts a second standard pattern on your footage that LUT Buddy will use to compare to your original and create the LUT.

After Effects

Create a new Adjustment Layer (Layer > New > Adjustment Layer) above everything else and name it Read. Select the layer and go to Effect > Red Giant > LUT Buddy. In the LUT Buddy effect palette, go to Action and select Read Pattern. Change the Pattern to 3D 64.

Premiere Pro

Go to the Projects palette and make a new Adjustment Layer. Rename the layer Read and drag it onto the timeline, again above everything else. Find LUT Buddy in the Effects palette and drag it onto your adjustment layer to apply. Go to Effect Controls and select Read Pattern and 3D 64.

4. Save Your New Look Up Table

Alright, time to save your work.

After Effects

On the LUT Buddy effects palette, click Options. Select Export LUT… In the dialogue box that pops up. Give your LUT a file name, select the file type (I usually use .cube files) and hit Save. Click Done in the pop-up box.

Premiere Pro

First, change your preview window from Fit to 100%. I’ve had some errors using Fit.

Click the Setup icon (a little arrow and box) under Effects Controls, which will load a pop-up. Select Export LUT…, give your LUT a file name, select the file type (I usually use .cube files) and hit Save. Click Done in the pop-up box.

Done!

And that’s it! Now you can make as many LUTs as you like.
