LuttieCapCut LUT workflow · Built for the grade, not the timeline
CapCut can't export LUTs.
Luttie builds them for it.
CapCut is a great editor, but it only applies LUTs — it can't create or export your own .cube file. Grade in Luttie and export a .cube for CapCut desktop; on mobile, where CapCut has no LUT import, export the graded file itself instead.

What CapCut can't do.
CapCut is built for editing, not for building a grade from scratch.
- No LUT exportCapCut can apply .cube LUTs from your files, but there's no way to export your own color adjustments as a LUT file.
- Fixed built-in filtersCapCut's built-in filters only adjust intensity — you can't tweak white balance, reshape the tonal curve, or fix a color cast inside the filter itself.
- No reference-image matchingThere's no way in CapCut to drop in a reference photo and match its color palette automatically. Luttie's Color Match does this in one step, then exports the result as a LUT.
