VideoLUT Reviews

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 VideoLUT 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.

I’m an aspiring filmmaker, and VideoLUT beats any other that I have so far seen when it comes to color grading your videos. Extremely easy to use, while some features could be tweaked, (such as being able to compare the original footage to the color graded one horizontally) it is overall an amazing product. I often will find several Luts that I like and can’t decide which one to use (which compared to many other apps that only offer a handful of mediocre options, is a good thing to be distressed about). I would say that VideoLUT is definitely worth the money, and really does deserve 5 stars.

As a side note, I would like to add that some people appear to have a problem importing their own Luts, but since I have not used this feature, I do not know. Overall, I am a satisfied customer.

Hands down the best. I looked around and tried a bunch of color-grading apps, but they were all missing this feature or that feature. If I’m shooting with the Apple camera app, I can push the image pretty far without too much unbearable artifacting. If I’m shooting with FILMIC PRO, getting a better image from the get-go, I can get amazing results with Video LUT.

The LUT part of Video LUT is the real winner here. While I don’t use most of the built-in LUTs and presets, the ability to IMPORT LUTS and save my own presets is indispensable. I feel like I have total control, and that’s what I expect from pro-level apps like Video LUT.

If you have any doubts about VideoLUT, banish then. It is the best.

I really like VideoLUT. I like the amount of tweaks I can make to every aspect of recording. However, there is still some lag issues when it comes to recording. There’s a bug where one has to open a camera in the portrait position before turning it sideways. But overall it’s pretty good.

To my filmmaker family out there. First you should know that the this app app is incredible. Its multiple functions and the amount of presets too, this is now one of my “go to” tools. It’s at a whole new level when coupled with the “Match Colours” app. Load up the video or still you want to correct, then load up a video or still you want the colors to emulate. Two separate apps, that work great together. Thank you!

Now I can finally apply my favorite LUTs to the videos I record in Filmic pro with LOG/flat profile!
VideoLUT comes with a lot of pre installed video presets to choose from. I had a backup of 7 favourite LUTs of mine on Google Drive in a .zip file. All I had to do was choose "open this item in Video LUT" and VideoLUT right away imported the LUTs into VideoLUT just like that! I didn't even had to extract the .zip file!
Also there are many other adjustments you can make to your video via VideoLUT.
Worth purchasing.
I'm using this on a 6s Plus.

Video or still image, VideoLUT can do more than function as a utilitarian applicator of color lookup tables. It can also waste hours of your time and tie up gigabytes of your storage with alternate versions of your best imagery in the most mundane monochrome and bland sun bleached photo paper from 1950 to flowing and meandering clusters of complimentary vibrancy from chroma disturbances not common to any known atmosphere that occurs without the assistance of cubensis lenses or binoculysergic goggles.... which I mean in the most complimentary sort of way.

Incredible control over the simulacrum of light and it’s rate of absorption in an easy to use interface.

Preset tables that run from the most subtle shifts to the most extreme, content altering variations.

A definite go to app, which has become somewhat expected from this developer.

I took some 10-bit D-Log M footage from my drone and saved it at max quality. About 10-15 mins later when it finished and I went to view the saved file it was absolutely terrible! It butcher my original footage to this terrible pixelated version. Then I wasn’t expecting the 50/50 before/after preview to be part of the final file I saved, but that was also done. I’m really aggravated at paying money for this when it gave me a worse end product in terms of quality and pixelated blocks everywhere.

I’m so happy I found VideoLUT! I use this all the time to apply looks to my insta stories. It’s easy to import and apply LUTs and the clips export at full resolution. The grading tools are very comprehensive for a mobile app. Most of all I love that it has Lightroom style HSL sliders to adjust the look if I need too it’s just beautiful. I’ve tried LumaFX and VideoGrade and they just don’t stack up whatsoever.

I wanted to shoot in log and apply a LUT... on iOS. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. Apparently it is. Or, was, until this handy app came along. If that’s what you need, BUY THIS and don’t look back.

Sure, the interface is clunky, and I’m super-annoyed that VideoLUT isn’t universal (seriously?!) but if you care about the primary need, the price is right.

I’m def a fan.. great built in presets. However, I uploaded one lut pack with no issue, but have not been able to upload any since. They’re all grayed out. I have all the cube files in my “files” on phone and for some reason it won’t read them.
Other than that, best color grade app you’ll find on the iPhone.

I use the Live Photo function with presets all the time. After purchasing the new iPhone 11 pro I was super excited to use the different lens selections with my custom LUTs. However this function is completely broken, went into settings and checked access to camera and toggled all advance settings “Use open GL context” and “Force OpenGL camera” to no avail. The camera will not turn on, the image is simply black in all video, photo, and selfie modes.

I will update this back to 5 stars once this function is fixed.

Love love VideoLUT but it’s not uploading videos at the moment : / when they upload it just shows a blank screen playing. Tried uninstall/reinstall and different videos.

I’m really enjoying getting to use and learn VideoLUT. I’m taking videos that I shoot on my iPhone to the next level. Is there any way to batch process multiple video clips?.. That would be amazing. Also, I’m noticing a little lag with saving video clips. Overall, really fun and easy to use.

The future of cinema has arrived with this app. Mobile Filmmaking has emerged. Cinematic storytelling is now in the hands of many. We now can all share high quality content cheaply, quickly, and efficiently.

Great filters and coloring for videos and picture put of your playing on using this for videos which audio that is supposed to be in sync with the video use another app because when you apply the filter and save it the audio is ahead.

Great app, full featured. One request: ability to export a still from video after you grade. Record a lot of 4K videos and would love to share stills on social media

VideoLUT produces really quality results and for me has been very stable. I’m really in need of batch video processing, though. It takes so much time to run all my clips through. If I’m missing something and if there is a way to batch process videos I will update this to 5 stars

This is the perfect app for anyone who edits videos on their phone. And its the cleanest app i have used to edit my videos. I wasn't expecting so many LUTS when I bought VideoLUT ... its just amazing... Its a must have app for any videos edited on IOS... Great Work!

Genuinely pleased. Best color grading I've come across on iOS. Take some time to play with it. Once you've found what you like, you'll keep coming back.
