VideoLUT

So I love the capabilities of this app. It’s essentially a stripped down davinci resolve, and I can do 90% of what I need to for my content in this app. The only place where it falls short is halation in videos. It only works like 50% off the time, the other half it turns on… but there is a halation border around THE ENTIRE IMAGE. obviously this ruins the effect and the video, so I just keep it off, but I would love to be able to use halation to its fullest. This is also missing sliders for RGB wheels which would make it much easier to use on mobile. Think Lightroom grading wheels and the sliders there. I know it’s possible to have these sliders bc those sliders already exist for the split toning. These a knit picks, but they would make this app 15/10.

Excellent app but I find the UI a bit difficult to navigate, and not aesthetically pleasing. Also I don’t like the fact that the highest quality LUT I can export is 33 when I can do 64 on my iPad Pro. So I’d like to make the request that there be support for higher quality LUT export. I work with a lot of 4K HDR and Dolby vision content so I need these color adjustments to match the quality of content I’m producing. This is otherwise a great app for creating LUTs, I appreciate all the fine adjustments they have and the calibration feature so I can use my color checker passport to efficiently color correct my videos. I recommend this for mobile content creators, it definitely completes my suite of editing apps on my iPhone when I don’t have my iPad Pro easily available at times. Just a warning, you have to pay twice for the same exact app on iPad. If you only want to pay once you have to choose between iPhone or iPad app, I personally don’t like that because I see it as greed; considering the iPad app doesn’t offer anything more than the iPhone app, so why not make it a universal app you pay just once for? I know as a developer myself the resizing of the app doesn’t take the effort it once used to take so I think it’s unfair to be trying to charge more for the same exact app I could get on my iPhone with no additional benefit.

If you’re looking for an app to grade both your photos and videos using LUTS you’ve downloaded from online, look no further. You can easily manage all your 3DL / Cube files into subfolders and have plenty of color adjustment tools to utilize along with their application- HSL, temps, vibrancies etc. My primary reason for this review is to contact the developer to suggest some improvements/added features. 1. Canon CR2 files work in RAW format, Sony ARW files don’t. 2. A tool to make completely separate layers of multiple LUTs. As of now, applying a second LUT is very basic in functionality. I find myself exporting a photo and reimporting it several times to apply 3-4 LUTs. Each LUT layer should be fully modifiable for its opacity / HSL / color / adjustments. No biggie if this is to extensive. 3. On the iPad app, have the option to enlarge the curve adjustments. As of now, the window is very small- iPad users often use it for the larger screen to make more intricate adjustments. I use a precision stylus but it doesn’t do much in the small window that currently exists. 4. There are desktop apps that allow you to preview what resembles a “proof sheet” per say of all your library’s LUTS applied onto the picture you’re editing as small thumbnails. The LUTs here are just in a scrollable roll that have a basic preview of them on the stock photo. It would really speed up workflow to preview all your LUTs on a photo in a small thumbnail library, even if it takes a minute or two to load. Hope these suggestions help, absolutely love this app on both iPhone and iPad! =)
