Top 3 Film Emulation LUTs (Look Presets) to Instantly Change Picture Styles
In this Top 3 round-up, we focus on three of the top film emulation LUTs, or quick presets to apply a film-style to your video footage. Supported by popular video editors like Final Cut and After Effects, these LUT files allow you to give any video that classic celluloid look and feel. They’re refined enough to deliver this unique look, yet flexible enough to apply to almost any project.
All of these LUTs are included with a monthly membership to Envato Elements, an unlimited-download service featuring over one million digital assets. LUTs found on Elements are designed by skilled professionals, taking the guesswork out of your own video creation.
Note: The assets in this round-up are promoted as Lightroom photo presets, but you’ll get a matching LUT video file for each one, too.
