FCPX LUT Loader

Description

What is a LUT?

A LUT is a Lookup Table that contains a mathematical formula for modifying an image. The LUT changes every pixel’ 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.

FCPX LUT Loader Frequently Asked Questions

Does the LUT Loader come with any free LUTs?

.

No, the LUT Loader is only for loading LUTs you already own. This plugin does come with a test LUT, which is used to verify that the plugin is working correctly.

.

Are The LUT's Preview-able?

.

The FCPX LUT Loader is a look-up-table file loader tool built with real-time application in mind. The LUT files are designed to populate in a drop-down menu, which can only be previewed by selecting the LUT when its already applied to a clip.

.

Can The LUT Files be Adjusted?

.

The FCPX LUT Loader includes opacity adjustments, Vignette controls, and also gives users 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 The LUT Files be Deleted?

.

Only imported LUTs can be deleted. That means all LUTs that come with the full version of the LUT Loader cannot be removed. Imported LUTs can be removed. To delete an imported LUT select the LUT/s to be removed by holding shift and clicking any LUT that you wish to remove. Once the LUT/s are selected press the delete key on your keyboard. A prompt will appear asking I if you want to remove them. Press the Remove button and the LUTs will be removed.

.

.

How Can I add other LUT's to the Drop Down Menu?

.

To load an external LUT, 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. To make things easier for the user, it’s possible to populate the dropdown list by adding LUT files to the directory: /Library/Plug-Ins/FxPlug/FCPXLutLoader.fxplug/Contents/Resources/LUTS Just make sure that you’re using the correct “Library” folder. There are a number of other “Library” folders in varies places that the user could mistake for the correct one. The first / means that you’re at the root level on the hard drive. To get there, open up any finder window and press Cmd+Shift+g. This will bring up the go to folder command. The simply type “/“ without the quotes and press enter. The user may need administrative privileges to get to the folder and change it’s contents. If the LUT files don’t show up in the dropdown list after adding them to the directory, try restarting Final Cut.

.

.

Why am I getting a lock icon on my export?

.

Currently, the LUT Loader is only able to render out directly from Final Cut Pro X. Exporting the video through compressor is not possible yet. If you export the project through compressor clips with the LUT Loader effect added will show a lock icon over the render.

.

Where do I find FCPX LUT Loader?

.

Once the installation is complete, you can find FCPX LUT Loader in the FCPX effects library.
