How to install LUTs in DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve has the most powerful LUT system — here's the simple version.

1. 1

   Open DaVinci Resolve → Preferences → System → Memory and GPU and click Open LUT Folder. (In some Resolve builds the same button lives under Project Settings → Color Management → Lookup Tables.)

2. 2

   Copy your .cube files into that folder.

3. 3

   Back in Resolve, right-click inside the LUT browser on the Color page and choose Update.

4. 4

   Go to the Color page and select your clip.

5. 5

   Right-click your node and choose 3D LUT, then your LUT name.

6. 6

   Use the Key Output gain (or a parallel node) to mix the LUT in or out.
