HOW TO USE BUTTERY LUTs WITH BLACKMAGIC CAMERAS:
The workflow is extremely simple. Shoot in Blackmagic Film/LOG and apply the appropriate BUTTERY LUT directly to your footage in your editing or color grading software. Make your basic adjustments such as exposure, white balance, tint and contrast as needed. No complicated color management or additional conversion is required.
For a natural starting point, use the Natural Rec709 conversion LUT. If you want a stylized look, apply one of the included Creative LUTs instead. Each LUT is designed to work directly with the corresponding Blackmagic Film Gen 4 or Gen 5 footage.
BUTTERY LUTs are compatible with BRAW and ProRes footage and any software that supports .cube LUTs, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro.
Natural Rec709 can also be loaded into compatible Blackmagic cameras as a monitoring LUT, allowing you to preview a natural Rec709 image while recording in Blackmagic Film/LOG.
NOTE: Blackmagic cameras may add a +10 tint value when white balance is set to daylight. We recommend setting tint to ZERO as a starting point and adjusting it in post depending on the lighting conditions.
