Best LUTs & Presets for Insta360 (X6 / X5) in 2026

Updated October 21, 2026 · GradeColor

Short answer: For Insta360, the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your RAW/DNG files in one click and the whole shoot stays consistent. Each GradeColor pack includes .xmp for desktop Lightroom, a mobile .dng profile for the free Lightroom Mobile app and a matching .cube video LUT.

The Insta360 X6 (and X5) capture jaw-dropping 360 and action footage, but the flat, low-contrast color profile that protects all that dynamic range looks undramatic straight off the card. Whether you reframe 360 clips or shoot in a flat profile, a grade is what turns raw Insta360 footage into something cinematic.

Why presets help

Our video .cube LUTs are built for exactly this kind of flat, log-style footage. Drop one in and your Insta360 clips get a consistent, punchy color signature in seconds. For RAW stills, our presets do the same, so every reframed shot and photo shares one look.

Every GradeColor pack ships in three formats: mobile .dng profiles that run in the free Lightroom Mobile app, desktop .xmp presets for Lightroom & Camera Raw, .cube video LUTs for Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut, so one look stays consistent across your whole feed.

Best GradeColor packs to try

  • COLD START: cinematic teal & orange, stunning over travel, water and open landscapes
  • DAKAR: warm adventure tones for trails, mountains and the outdoors
  • ASPHALT: dark, moody grade for urban and street action

How to install

Video: load the .cube LUT into your editor’s Lookup/LUT slot (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut) or into Insta360 Studio, and apply it to your clips. Photos: import Insta360 RAW/DNG into Lightroom and apply the .xmp preset (or the mobile .dng in the free Lightroom Mobile app).

FAQ

Do these presets work with Insta360 RAW files (RAW/DNG)?

Yes. Import your RAW/DNG files into Lightroom (Classic or CC), open Develop and apply the .xmp preset. It lands as an editable starting point, so exposure, white balance and strength stay fully adjustable per shot. The same look is also included as a mobile .dng profile and a .cube video LUT.

Do I need a paid Lightroom subscription?

No. Every pack includes mobile .dng profiles that install in the free Lightroom Mobile app on iPhone and Android, with no subscription and no computer needed. The .xmp presets are there for desktop Lightroom and Camera Raw if you already have them.

Will my photos and my video share the same color?

Yes. Each pack ships a matching .cube LUT alongside the presets, so the grade you apply in Lightroom is the same one you drop on the timeline in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut. One signature across stills and footage.
