A practical guide to applying LUT (Look-Up Table) color grading to Log video footage using ffmpeg's built-in lut3d filter, avoiding the need to open DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro. Covers the full ffmpeg command with Apple hardware H.265 encoding flags, explains the -vf "lut3d=file.cube" filter, and includes a bash script for batch-converting entire folders of Log MP4 files. Also touches on the lack of a universal LUT sidecar standard across camera manufacturers.
