Apple Log 2 to Rec.709 Conversion LUT
As is now Apple tradition, they’ve released iPhones that can record in Apple Log 2, yet they still don’t provide an official, easy-to-download LUT for converting to Rec.709. While a few opportunists sell over-priced LUTs, I decided to fix that.
I built two free, high-precision conversion LUTs that take Apple Log 2 straight to Rec.709:
- AppleLog2_to_Rec709_33_Grid.cube → perfect for on-set monitors (Atomos, SmallHD, etc.)
- AppleLog2_to_Rec709_65_Grid.cube → 65-point grid for Adobe Premiere & DaVinci Resolve
If you shoot ProRes RAW on non-Apple recorders (e.g., Atomos Ninja) and switch the “RAW → Log” setting to Apple Log 2, I’ve got you covered too:
Download them, drop them in your LUT folder, and grade away. If these save you time (or money), feel free to buy me a coffee: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RodrigoPolo
Thank you so much for making these, everywhere I looked I could only find paid LUTs or an apple page that requires login, while I am just a low-income editor who was handed some iphone footage.
Thanks a lot for LUT, i record with my iPhone in “Blackmagic Cam” color space “Apple Log 2 – HDR” and edit video in Davinci Resolve for export (SDR) REC709 Youtube.
Wow wow wow! I’ve been trying to grade from scratch for the longest time. You have just changed the game for me.
