how to apply a lut to video online

this post contains a sponsored link to invideo.

to apply a lut to video online, you need either a browser video editor that can import .cube files, or a browser grading tool that renders the graded video for you. most online editors can't import luts at all, so it's worth knowing which is which before you pick one.

this guide covers which online editors take a lut, which we couldn't confirm, and the route that works with all of them.

which online editors can import a lut

we checked each editor's own help pages and product pages on 30 september 2026. features change, so treat this as a snapshot.

invideo lists custom lut support, in both .cube and png formats, on its colour grading page. more on it below.

capcut imports .cube and .3dl luts on desktop, under adjustment → lut → import. guides consistently report that the web and mobile versions can't. our capcut lut guide has the desktop steps.

clipchamp and veed both document built-in filters and manual colour sliders (exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature), but we found no way to load your own lut in either one's help documentation.

canva and kapwing we couldn't confirm either way. their help pages didn't answer it.

editing online with your own lut

if you want to edit videos online and keep a custom look, invideo's browser editor imports your own .cube or png luts directly. it also has colour wheels, curves and scopes, so you can apply the lut and fine-tune the grade in the same place you cut the video.

the route that works everywhere: grade, then edit

if your editor can't import luts, apply the lut before the video gets there. grade the clip in a browser grading tool, render it, and edit the graded file like any other video.

in luttie:

1. drop your mp4, mov or webm onto the canvas.
2. apply your lut. free luts and pro lut packs load in one click, or build your own look with the grading panels.
3. click preview under export to render six seconds around the frame you're on (free, watermarked) and check the grade in motion.
4. click export (pro) to render the full clip. it keeps the source frame rate and audio.

then upload the graded file to whichever online editor you like. see working with video for length limits by browser.

the one catch: the look is now baked into the file. if you want to change it later, go back to the original clip. keep it.

if your editor does take a lut

1. get the look as a .cube file: download one from the free lut library, or grade a frame in luttie and save your own with export lut (pro). how to create a lut file walks through it.
2. import it using your editor's lut option.
3. apply it to your clips, then adjust its intensity if the editor has a slider.

a lut expects a certain kind of input. a creative lut is built for normal (rec.709) footage. if you shot in log, convert it first or the result will look washed out. see log footage.

summary

• many online editors can't import a .cube lut
• invideo can; capcut can on desktop only; we found no lut import in clipchamp or veed
• grading and rendering the clip in a browser tool first works with every editor
• use .cube, and convert log footage before a creative lut
