Why Grading Log Works Here
Get the base right before the look
Log footage is deliberately flat and low-contrast so it can take a grade later — but grading it while it still looks grey is how clips end up muddy. Bring exposure, contrast and saturation back to a normal Rec.709 picture first, then judge the look on top of that.
A look on every shot, not one
A grade built shot by shot never matches across a scene. Because keyframes animate the LUT strength, Lift/Gamma/Gain and Post FX over the timeline, the same look can fade in at the top of a sequence and hold steady for the rest of it.
Film stocks over a neutral base
Once the base is neutral, thirty-three LUTs sit on top — Kodak and Portra negatives, CineStill 800T, bleach bypass, three-strip Technicolor — plus seventeen grain stocks, so a clean digital camera can read as 35mm or as Super 8 without leaving the browser.
Push, pull and halation
Push the grade for a harder, more contrasty look, pull it for a flat log-style finish, and add the red-orange halo a film without an anti-halation layer puts round every highlight.
Works on phone and mirrorless files
H.264, HEVC, ProRes or a phone clip — the same panel takes the file and the same export paths carry the grade. A 10-bit log file downsamples for preview and grades the same way a 1080p one does.
Export carries the grade
The Rec.709 conversion, the LUT and the grain are all drawn into the frame, so Record (MP4/WebM) and Render Mode exports leave with them baked in, exactly as previewed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert S-Log3 to Rec.709 here for free?
Yes. Load the clip, dial exposure and contrast back to a normal picture in No Tracking (FX only) mode, and export — the Rec.709 base and any LUT you stack on it are drawn into the frame. It is free, needs no signup, and the file never leaves the browser tab.
Which log formats does it take?
Any log footage you can get into the browser as a video file: Sony S-Log2/S-Log3, Panasonic V-Log and V-Log L, Canon C-Log, DJI D-Log and GoPro flat profiles. The conversion is a normal three-way grade, so it does not need a per-camera matrix.
Is this a real LUT or just a filter?
Both, depending on what you want: thirty-three built-in cinematic LUTs, film-emulation grades, and an importer for your own .cube files from Resolve or Premiere — all parsed locally in the tab. See the color grading guide.
Will it match my other footage?
That is the point of grading to a neutral base first. Grade one shot to taste, then apply the same preset and keyframe it across the rest of the sequence so the whole scene holds one look.
Does it work without installing anything?
Yes — it runs in a browser tab. There is no plugin, no daemon and no upload step, which also means it works on a locked-down edit suite or a borrowed laptop.
