Hi all
the ad said:

"Access a full library of third-party LUTS to apply styles and moods to your footage."
I cannot seem to find those, ecxept a few generic 709 conversion LUTs in the CG panel.
What am I missing? Are they available somewhere online?

Thanks!

My 500+ conversion and grading LUTS don't have an ad; they have been completely free to Vegas Users for about a decade.

Third party LUTs aren't executable packages like video FX; rather, they are usually .CUBE files that are copied onto a folder on your computer. Once you know where that folder is, use the Browse button in either Vegas Pro's LUT Filter VFX or in the LUT section of the Color Grade Panel to drill down to the folder where those .CUBE LUT files are stored.

Thanks but I know, it's what I wrote in the OP. I have a bunch of LUTs, but I thought V22 provided new ones , as advertised.

Sorry, I wasn't sure what you were referring to with an 'ad' as there was no reference to what or where the 'ad' was, it seemed that it could have been a third party package. I've now found the reference to the 'ad' text which is on Vegas Pro 22's product page:

In Vegas Pro 22, I found the LUTs by clicking on the 'Look LUT' field in the Color Grade Panel:

Cool, thanks very much Dexcon!👍
All I had found was a reference to the input LUT menu in the CG panel.

Is there a LUT add-on with the package you bought? Maybe the "cinema LUTs" one I saw VEGAS packaged with before.

That would seem to be a vast over-statement by MAGIX. What is a full library - every LUT ever created? The reality is that you get some LUTs in the Edit version (as shown in the image I uploaded earlier) and even more in the Suite version via an additional download (Cinema LUTs).

This is very poorly worded. I have notified the marketing team.

Mindmatter wrote on 11/21/2024, 11:27 AM

there actually are some what they call "look LUTs" appearing under that specific menu in the CG panel.
I gave them a quick try on Sony Slog3 footage and they are pretty useless. Unless I misunderstood them and I need to apply an Slog3 to 709 conversion LUT and then add those, in which case they aren't really LUTs by my understanding, but LOOK presets.
I presume that's what they're meant for, as they aren't any maker's LOG specific.

Thank you Derek, I was kinda hoping there were real LUTs in the package, which isn't the case.

There was a good HitFilm tutorial years ago about color grading and LUTs. In that tutorial, it pointed out that there are two types of LUTs:

1. Technical LUTs that are used to treat camera footage shot in a particular picture profile such as Slog3 (or many others) - this type of LUT is used before color grading; and

2. Creative or Look LUTs that are used to give the video a certain 'look' such as the look/image style of a particular feature film or TV show, or a genre (e.g. sci-fi). With creative LUTs, the tutorial recommended basic color grading the video before adding the Look LUT.

I always thought that was about the movie appearance luts, and this is the result after Magix's legal people digested it, they didn't outright want to say the luts give a color grading similar to well known films and tv. Further, instead of calling a lut 'Game of Thrones' they call it 'Winter is coming' . Filmora outright say their luts are based on Hollywood films and the lut names are of the actual movies.

Dexcon wrote on 11/22/2024, 6:50 AM

@UltraVista  ... over the years I've seen 3rd party LUT producers call their custom feature film / TV series look LUTs directly named by their film / TV based sources, I took it that Vegas took a more tongue-in-cheek naming approach. But you may be right in Vegas' naming the LUTs to a source film / tv program may have been for a legal reason - though I'm not sure how that would be a copyright issue unless the film / TV maker's LUT or look has been patented.

Maybe it's the name of the film that is patented.
