I like good colour. I just don't particularly enjoy spending half my edit building it from scratch. Cinecolor gives me a much faster starting point for Sony, DJI, Fujifilm and mixed-camera footage — and you can save 15% with my code SIMON15.

I'm a photographer and filmmaker first. I want colour to support the film — I don't want every edit to become an afternoon-long exercise in node trees.
My actual shooting life is quite mixed. Commercial filmmaking might have me working with Sony or Lumix. Travel work can be shot on a DJI Pocket camera. Other projects might involve Fujifilm, multiple cameras or footage captured days apart in completely different conditions.
I enjoy colour, but I'm also very aware that time spent grading is time I'm not shooting, editing the story or getting the next piece of work finished. That's why I jokingly describe myself as a lazy grader. I want a strong starting point quickly and then I want to make small corrections around that.
That's where a well-designed LUT can be genuinely useful. I'm not looking for something that destroys the image with an enormous baked-in “cinematic” look. I want cleaner colour, sensible contrast, usable skin tones and a base that I can refine.
Cinecolor's range is particularly interesting because it now covers both sides of that workflow: technical conversion and camera matching at one end, and creative film-inspired looks at the other.
Cinecolor supports far more formats than these, but Sony, DJI and Fujifilm are particularly relevant to the way I shoot and to the people who follow my work.
Sony Log can look deliberately flat straight from camera. Cinecolor offers both free technical conversion tools and much deeper paid S-Log3 packs for getting to a stronger starting point quickly.
Particularly relevant for travel filmmaking. Cinecolor currently offers a free DJI D-Log conversion LUT as well as D-Log support inside its wider camera-matching tools.
Fujifilm already starts with strong colour. Cinecolor's Fuji Pro Color pack is currently designed for both F-Log and F-Log2 and includes multiple filmic looks rather than just one conversion.

LUTs are most useful when they solve a specific workflow problem rather than being thrown over every clip at 100% intensity.
For client films I care more about controlled colour, natural skin and consistency between shots than an aggressive “look”. A technical starting point followed by a subtle creative treatment makes more sense.
Travel edits can involve huge amounts of footage. A strong starting LUT lets me establish the direction quickly and spend more time shaping pace, sound and story instead of correcting every shot from zero.
If Sony, DJI, Lumix, Fuji or phone footage ends up in the same timeline, getting those cameras into a common neutral space before adding a look is far more useful than simply dropping one creative LUT over everything.
The current store is broad enough that it's worth understanding the difference between technical tools, camera packs and creative looks before spending money.
Camera-focused packs built around formats such as Sony S-Log3, Fuji F-Log, Panasonic V-Log, Canon C-Log, Blackmagic and Apple Log.
Explore Camera Packs →Designed to bring footage from different cameras into a common intermediate starting point — especially useful when a project mixes several acquisition formats.
Explore Cinespace →Colour-space transformation LUTs designed to provide a more controlled Log-to-Rec.709 starting point in editors such as Premiere and Final Cut.
Explore Technical LUTs →Cinecolor also has 35mm, 65mm, monochrome, bleach-bypass, Technicolor and other film-inspired treatments when the project genuinely calls for a more stylised finish.
Explore Film Looks →A broader collection aimed at filmmakers who regularly move between multiple camera brands rather than owning one fixed shooting system.
Explore Masterpacks →A larger collection for Sony shooters who want multiple S-Log3 looks and environments rather than purchasing individual packs one at a time.

Try Free LUTs →Beyond straightforward camera LUTs, Cinecolor also offers stylised colour, textures, film grain and other creative tools for projects that need something less conventional.
