Short answer: For Sony FX3 / FX30, a .cube LUT is the fastest way from flat, log-style footage to a finished cinematic grade — drop it in after your Rec.709 conversion and the clips get contrast and color in one step. Every GradeColor pack pairs that LUT with Lightroom presets, so stills and footage match.
The FX3 and FX30 are built to be graded: S-Log3 protects an enormous range, and the price is a washed-out, milky image on the monitor and in the timeline. Sony’s cool, green-leaning skin rendering is still in there too — it just shows up later, in the grade.
Why presets help
A creative LUT solves both at once: contrast and color in one step, plus warmth in the skin tones that S-Log3 footage almost always needs. Apply it after your conversion and a run-and-gun shoot starts looking like a graded piece.
Every GradeColor pack ships in three formats — 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 — cold shadows, warm skin, the standard cinema look
- HAVANA — warm retro-film tones that counter Sony’s cooler rendering
- NEON MILE — clean neon-night grade for night exteriors and city work
How to install
Convert S-Log3 / S-Gamut3.Cine to Rec.709 first (a colour space transform in Resolve, or Sony’s own conversion LUT), then apply our creative .cube LUT on top in the Lookup/LUT slot. Reduce the strength if the grade lands heavier than the scene needs.
FAQ
How do I apply the LUT to Sony FX3 / FX30 footage?
Load the .cube file into your editor’s Lookup/LUT slot — Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut — after converting the log footage to Rec.709, then apply it to the clips. Lower the intensity if the grade lands stronger than the scene needs.
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.
Is there a free pack to try first?
Yes. The free starter pack has 13 files — five .xmp presets, five mobile .dng profiles and two .cube video LUTs, with no card required — try our color on your own files before buying anything.
