Use the Custom LUT filter in Motion

The Custom LUT filter in Motion applies stylized film and video “looks” (such as Summer, Old Timey, Sci-Fi, and so on), camera LUTs, or tone mapping (to convert footage from one color space to another).

To use LUTs in Motion, add the Custom LUT filter to a layer in your project, import third-party LUTs into the filter, then choose the LUT you want to apply to your footage.

Note: Stylized LUT effects are available from a variety of third-party sources. Camera LUTs, used to convert “flat” or “log” footage from high-end cameras to standard color spaces, are available from many camera manufacturers and other sources.

Apply a LUT

In Motion, open the Library, click the Filters category, then click the Color category to reveal the color-correction filters.
Drag the Custom LUT filter to the layer in the Layers list you want to adjust.
The Custom LUT controls appear in the Filters Inspector.
In the Filters Inspector, click the LUT pop-up menu and select Choose Custom LUT.
In the dialog that appears, navigate to the LUT file you want to import, then select it.
You can import LUT files with the filename extensions .cube and .mga. (Motion does not support 1D LUTs.) You can select single files, multiple files, or a folder of files.
Click Open.
The LUT you imported appears as the selected LUT at the top of the Custom LUT section.
If you imported a folder of LUT files, it appears as a submenu in the LUT pop-up menu. (In this case, choose a LUT from the submenu.)
To add additional LUTs to your project, repeat steps 3 through 5, above.
To apply a different LUT, click the LUT pop-up menu and choose a LUT from the list.
Note: Although you can import multiple LUTs into the Custom LUT filter, you can apply only one LUT at a time. (To apply additional LUTs to the same footage, you must apply additional Custom LUT filters).
Click the Input pop-up menu and choose the color space the LUT converts from.
This color space was determined when the custom LUT was created.
Note: Camera LUTs and custom LUTs typically include the names of the input (source) color space and intended output (target) color space in the LUT filename. If you’re not sure which color space to choose, see the LUT creator for more information.
Click the Output pop-up menu and choose the color space the LUT converts to.
This color space was determined when the custom LUT was created.
To optionally set the amount of the original image to be blended with the adjusted image, drag the Mix slider.

Remove a LUT

When you import a LUT into the Custom LUT filter, a copy of the LUT is placed in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Custom LUTs/ folder.

To remove a LUT from the Custom LUT filter, use the Reveal in Finder command, then delete the LUT file.

In Motion, in the Custom LUT controls in the Filters Inspector, click the LUT pop-up menu and choose Reveal in Finder.
The Custom LUTs folder opens in the Finder.
Drag the LUT file you want to remove to the Trash, then quit and reopen Motion.

Share a LUT

You can also use the Reveal in Finder command to locate a LUT and then share it with others.

In Motion, in the Custom LUT controls in the Filters Inspector, click the LUT pop-up menu and choose Reveal in Finder.
The Custom LUTs folder is in the following location:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Custom LUTs/
In the Finder, select the LUT files you want to share, then choose File > Compress.
Compressing the files prevents any change to custom LUTs during transit.
Transfer the resulting ZIP file (with the filename extension .zip) to your friend or colleague using email or another convenient method.

Note: Because Motion stores third-party LUTs externally (outside of Motion projects), it’s inadvisable to use LUTs in templates created for Final Cut Pro.
