It&#8217;s basically like a color grade for your video. If it helps, you can think about it like an Instagram filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know, in Ecamm it gives you the option to adjust the picture settings like brightness, temperature, tint saturation, etc. What a LUT does is allows you to apply other settings to your video that aren&#8217;t necessarily available within the picture settings. So what you do is find a LUT, apply the look, and then adjust the intensity to your liking. All of this helps give your video a unique and professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you find LUTs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of companies that create and sell packs of LUTs. If you do a simple Google search, you&#8217;ll see tons of examples of the kinds of LUTs you can use to apply to your videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marshall recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/\">Envato Elements<\/a>, which is a subscription-based service that starts at $16 per month. They offer tons of templates for video and graphic design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of options for where to get LUTs. The only thing to keep an eye out for is that most LUTs are a little on the dramatic side. They&#8217;re very cinematic. They are often designed for film and not necessarily for live stream broadcasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply a LUT in Ecamm Live<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So now you&#8217;re surely asking yourself &#8220;okay, how do I apply a LUT in Ecamm Live?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> This process is not as easy as just &#8220;applying a LUT&#8221; and going live. There are a lot of factors at play when it comes to achieving the right look for your specific needs. Things like lighting, the type of camera that you&#8217;re using, the lens, and then the settings available within the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three things to consider when applying a LUT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first is your camera&#8217;s specific settings. For example, the Canon M50 that has something called &#8220;picture styles.&#8221; All those things are adjustments to the actual color in your video before it gets from the camera to your computer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing to consider is the picture settings within Ecamm. Those are the things like brightness, temperature, tint, saturation, and gamma. They are located within the camera settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third thing to consider is LUTs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let&#8217;s get into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll want to over to the the Camera Effects window in Ecamm Live. You&#8217;ll see the picture settings right below the Zoom &amp; Pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-4.50.20-PM.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-4.50.20-PM.png 940w, https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-4.50.20-PM-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-4.50.20-PM-768x397.png 768w, https:\/\/ecamm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-27-at-4.50.20-PM-600x310.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is, you can actually do a lot just by using these camera settings before you even apply a LUT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below the camera settings, you&#8217;ll see a button called &#8220;select LUT.&#8221; You&#8217;ll click this button and select the LUT you&#8217;ve made or downloaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first apply the LUT, you may find it&#8217;s too dark or too &#8220;intense.&#8221; No problem! You can use the picture setting sliders to adjust to exactly how you like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is that you can switch this up as often as you want! Simply hit &#8220;reset&#8221; to remove the LUT and try another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Want to Purchase a LUT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for a perfect LUT to use in Ecamm Live?
