Custom LUTs
by Sensei
Creative color built from a real production workflow. Explore custom LUT packs designed to give color-corrected footage a stronger starting point, richer character and a more intentional finish without overcomplicating the grade.
The Approach
Built from real work.
Made to spark new ideas.
These LUTs come from looks I’ve built, refined and used across real projects, including documentaries, corporate work, branded content and client productions. Each one reflects a visual direction I genuinely like and is designed to help you find a stronger creative starting point for your own footage.
Built from real productions.
These aren’t random preset experiments. The looks are shaped by work created for clients, documentaries, corporate projects and other real-world productions.
Rooted in personal taste.
Each LUT reflects a specific color preference and visual sensibility, giving you a distinct look you can make your own.

Executive LUTs are designed for corrected and normalized footage. Apply after your technical correction, then adjust intensity and final image controls as needed.
Workflow
Correct first. Create second.
The LUTs are designed for color-corrected Rec.709 footage. They are not meant to be dropped directly onto log footage as a replacement for technical correction.
1. Correct your footage
Get exposure, white balance and your base color where it needs to be first.
2. Apply the creative LUT
Choose the look that fits the scene and apply it after your base correction.
3. Adjust intensity
Dial the look up or down to fit the footage instead of treating the LUT as a fixed result.
Compatible with major editing platforms
Universal .CUBE files work with Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and other applications that support .CUBE LUTs.

What editing software can I use?
They work with major applications that support .CUBE LUTs, including Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve.
Can I use the LUTs on client work?
Yes. The LUTs can be used on personal and commercial projects. The LUT files themselves cannot be resold or redistributed.

No. Adjusting the LUT intensity is part of the workflow. Use the amount that best fits the shot.
