Color Grading with FCPX LUT: Summer in Final Cut Pro
60 Warm Look-Up Tables
A LUT is a Look Up Table that contains a mathematical formula for modifying an image. The LUT changes every pixel’s color to the corresponding color indicated by the table. By manipulating each pixel, LUT’s can change each color range differently, giving the user more control over their look.
Endless Summer
Inspired by many summer and vintage film looks, FCPX LUT: Summer can instantly give any footage a warm look. With 60 different color gradings to choose from, you can make your project look anywhere from cozy to clammy in the click of a mouse.
FCPX LUT Summer Loader
CUBE LUT files are extremely versatile. They can be used in many different softwares. With the FCPX LUT Summer Loader from Pixel Film Studios, editors can quickly and easily load a LUT file directly into Final Cut Pro to color correct or grade their footage without having to use another software. Users can simply drop the loader on top of their footage and then, use the drop down menu to select or import a CUBE file.
Designed for Final Cut Pro
If the LUT doesn’t fully achieve the desired look, editors can use the built-in customization controls in the FCPX LUT Loader to adjust the strength, contrast, brightness and saturation of their image. They can also make further adjustments to color of the light, dark and mids.
All the LUT loaders are similar in functionality and usability. Watching this following tutorial will help you to understand the workflow and how to correctly apply and modify each LUT effect. The newer version of this plugin has a couple of differences, but works similarly to the older version. Please see the FAQ section to understand changes made to this plugin.

Are the LUT's preview-able?
To preview the LUTs (Look-up Tables) in this product, you must first apply the LUT preset from your Effects library in Final Cut Pro onto your selected clip. Then, use the LUT selection dropdown in the Effect’s controls panel. The LUT files are designed to populate in a drop-down menu which draws from your Mac’s Custom LUTs folder..
.
.
Can the LUT files be adjusted?
Through the Effect's controls panel you can adjust Saturation, Brightness, Contrast, and make opacity adjustments. Users also have the ability to add tints to their Lighter Tones, Mid-Tones, and Shadows. This adjustment has a Mix control allowing the effect to be strong or subtle, depending on the users liking.
.
.
Can I stack multiple LUTs on a clip?
Yes. Simply apply the LUT preset and select your LUT from the dropdown menu in the controls panel. Then, add another LUT preset and select a different LUT from the dropdown. You can then adjust the Mix controls under the LUT Loader section of the controls on each effect to dial in your look.

This version of the plugin looks a bit different than the original release verion. Where are all of the additional effect controls that use to be in my pack?
The custom controls are now included as a separate download that comes with your purchase of the LUT plugin. These effects have been included as a separate download so that we can easily include them with all of our different LUT plugins. There are 24 unique tools included in this new extra download.
The Tools library that comes with the LUTs can be accessed on on the Account Downloads page or the PFS APP under FCPX LUT - Tools. Once installed will show in your Effects library under PFS - FCPX LUT - Tools. Please note this will be accessed in a separate effect category from the LUTs.
.
.
Have the names of the cube files themselves been changed?
Yes! We have trimmed down the names of each of the cube files to show the Category name and a Number or Style name.
For example, if you have downloaded and installed FCPX LUT Action and were selecting a cube file from the dropdown LUT menu you would see Action - 01. Action is the category and 01 is the style/number.
*Please note that even though the portion of the name Rec709 was removed from the name of the LUT names these LUTs are still designed to be used with Rec. 709.
.
.
Where are the LUT.cube files stored on my Mac?
After you have installed this LUT plugin can can find the .cube files in your Custom LUTs folder. The LUTs are in a folder titled PFS - FCPX LUT Summer LUTs. This folder can be found through the following path in your Finder:
Macintosh HD > Users > Your User > Library > Application Support >ProApps > Custom LUTs
*The Library folder in the path above is hidden by default on Apple computers. To show hidden folders press Shift+Command+Period.If your LUTs have not populated in this location after installation we recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin.
.
.
How can I add my own LUT's to the drop down menu?
To load your own personal LUT or one you have gotten from another third party, the location of the LUT file itself isn’t important. So long as the user knows where the LUT is located (i.e. the desktop), it can be loaded from anywhere. From the Effect's controls panel select the LUT selection dropdown and press Choose Custom LUT...
Now that you have selected your own LUT is should be stored in the Custom LUTs folder on your Mac under the following location:
Macintosh HD > Users > Your User > Library > Application Support >ProApps > Custom LUTs
You can also add your own folder of LUTs to this location. Simply create a folder and name it whatever you like. Then place all of your favorite LUTs in this folder. Next, drop this folder into the Custom LUTs folder above and you will see your personal LUTs in one tidy location!
Just make sure that you’re using the correct “Library” folder. There are a number of other “Library” folders in various places that you could mistake for the correct one so be sure to follow this exact path. If the LUT files don’t show up in the dropdown list after adding them to the directory, try restarting Final Cut.
