FCPX LUT Loader

Professional LUT Tool for Final Cut Pro X

FREE/PAID OPTIONS

With the FCPX LUT Loader from Pixel Film Studios, editors can quickly and easily load a CUBE file directly into Final Cut Pro X to color correct or grade their footage without having to use another software. A LUT is a Lookup 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.

*FCPX LUT Loader for Intel Macs will require Mac OS 10.15 Catalina and FCPX 10.4.7 – 10.6.5.

*FCPX LUT Loader will require an Internet Connection to log into the LUT Editor inside of FCP.

*Experience the enhanced power of FCPX LUT Loader on Apple Silicon! The latest version of Silicon and FCP 10.6.6 brings exciting updates, but it no longer supports stacking and exporting LUT combinations showcased in the video. Fear not, as FCPX LUT Loader now offers a seamless one-click LUT application directly from the Loader window, providing instant and stunning results within Final Cut Pro.

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.

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.
