Cinematic LUT for Sony SLog 3 🎞️ Unlocking Cinematic Color: Using LUT 24-5 with Sony S-Log3 Footage

If you’ve ever worked with Sony’s S-Log3 footage, you know that while its dynamic range and flexibility are unmatched, it also demands a solid color grading workflow to reach its full potential. That’s where the Cinematic LUT 24 comes in — a custom-crafted .cube LUT designed specifically for Sony S-Log3 gamma and SGamut3.Cine color space.

Whether you’re a filmmaker, YouTuber, or content creator aiming for that cinematic aesthetic, LUT 24 helps you take your log footage from flat to filmic with just a few clicks.

🎬 What Is LUT 24?

LUT 24 is a Look-Up Table (.cube format) designed to give your Sony S-Log3 footage a rich, cinematic look. It enhances contrast, color tone, and mood without crushing dynamic range or oversaturating skin tones. It works seamlessly across Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro.

🛠️ How I Use LUT 24 in Adobe Premiere Pro

Here’s a simple, effective workflow I follow to grade my S-Log3 footage using LUT 24:

1. Create an Adjustment Layer

• In your timeline, add an adjustment layer and place it above your video clips. This allows you to apply the LUT non-destructively and make global changes easily.

2. Basic Color Correction on Original Footage

• Select your original S-Log3 clip.

• Apply Lumetri Color directly to the clip and adjust key parameters like:

  • Exposure – Balance the brightness and shadows.

  • White Balance – Correct temperature and tint.

  • Contrast, Shadows, Highlights – Fine-tune the image to prep it for the LUT.

💡 Think of this step as setting the stage for the LUT to shine. The better your base correction, the more cinematic the final look.

3. Apply LUT 24 to the Adjustment Layer

• With the adjustment layer selected, open Lumetri Color again.

• Navigate to the Creative tab (or Basic Correction > Input LUT) and load the LUT 24.cube.

• Instantly, your footage takes on a polished, film-inspired tone with enhanced mood and depth.
