LUTs are mainstream by now. Every halfway decent camera is capable of recording flat log profiles and therefore you have to employ a certain LUT workflow for your shooting / grading / monitoring. If that camera of yours happen to be a VariCam or EVA1, you’re in luck since Panasonic just has introduced their take on a LUT library, free of charge. All in all there are 35 Looks to choose from and Panasonic differentiates between technical LUTs (Log -> Rec.709 for example) and creative LUTs (“warm sun”). The whole LUT library can be used free of charge so you can download these LUTs and use them in your daily workflow as you please. Panasonic LUT Library The LUT library is tailored for the Panasonic VariCam line of cameras and the AU-EVA1 exclusively. So your precious GH5(s) with activated V-Log recording is not supported at this time, unfortunately. The total amount of 36 looks are made available in three different variants: Download them as .vlt files for applying a look in-camera, as E-E.cube files for post color grading or as E-L.cube files for using them with “LUT boxes” and other monitoring devices. I think that some of the looks in this LUT library are a little too much, but, and that’s probably the main purpose of this library, it’s nice to see a result very quickly instead of explaining a creative vision from a flat-looking LOG image on the screen. If I would ever use the provided green-tinted Matrix look?...
