Color Grading and LUT for Video

Apply a film look, a LUT of your own, or plain brightness and contrast, in one pass over the whole clip. Run the preset directly on this page or call the same agent-ready endpoint from your product.

A real example: the after side is the unedited output of a KinoPipe job. Run the live form above to generate the same result from your own media.

Useful defaults, typed options.

The tool slug stays stable while your agent supplies named media inputs and a narrow set of documented options.

  • Three looks built in, or bring your own .cube
  • Costs about the same as a plain re-encode
  • Refused rather than billed when it would change nothing

Know the boundaries before you run.

The built-in look and a supplied LUT cannot be combined; pick one.
A request left entirely at its defaults is refused rather than encoded, so nothing is billed for an identical file.
A supplied LUT must be a .cube file under 8 MB reachable at a public URL.

About color grade

Which looks come with it?

Teal and orange, warm, and cool. They are computed from a formula in the repository rather than sourced from a pack, so they can be read and changed. Each applies a filmic contrast curve in log space, a shoulder on the highlights and a slightly lifted black before any colour shift.

Can I use my own LUT?

Yes. Pass lut_url pointing at a public .cube file, up to 8 MB, and it is applied last so it carries the final look. Passing a LUT switches the built-in look off.

What does it cost?

About the same as a plain re-encode of the same clip. Measured on nine seconds of 1080p, a 33 point LUT adds roughly one second of worker time, and the curve presets and sliders are lost in the noise.

Will it fix an underexposed shot?

Only within what the file still holds. Raising brightness on clipped highlights or crushed shadows recovers nothing that was not recorded, and the sliders are bounded to keep that honest.
