Short answer: For DJI, the fastest way to a finished look is a preset built for its color: apply it to your .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.
Aerial shots from a DJI drone have incredible perspective — but flat light over water, coast and landscape, and the low-contrast D-Log video profile, both cry out for a grade. Presets handle the photos, and video LUTs handle the footage.
Why presets help
A cinematic preset adds punch, depth and a cohesive color signature to aerial DNG stills, while a .cube LUT gives your D-Log clips the same look in the timeline — so your photos and videos match.
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
- SANDSTORM — dramatic, high-impact grade for bold landscapes
- DAKAR — warm desert & travel tones for deserts, fields and dunes
- COLD START — cinematic teal & orange — beautiful over coast and water
How to install
Photos: import your DJI .DNG stills into Lightroom and apply the .xmp preset. Video: drop the matching .cube LUT into your Lookup/LUT slot in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut to grade D-Log footage.
FAQ
Do these presets work with DJI RAW files (.DNG)?
Yes. Import your .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 — 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.
