A simple way of doing color grading with 3D LUT Creator

3D LUT Creator is a great tool for color grading. It’s the most professional color grading tool in my opinion. So here is a suggested workflow for who are using grading tools which support OFX.

As I explained before color correction needs to go before grading. So the first step is to do color correction which removes color cast from the footage:

Original zlog footage

With plugin we made color correction to remove cast

If you are a master of the colors 3D LUT Creator should be the best tool for you to create the Looks as you want. It controls the color accurately that where you want to change and where you want to remain.

So with the sample workflow(Accurate color correction + subjective color looks) you can separate color correction from color grading and probably you can use the same look as a base to multiple clips and then customize each one.
