LuttieBetter than Lightroom
for color grading video.
Lightroom is a great photo editor — but it wasn't built for video color grading, and it can't export .cube LUT files natively. Luttie was. No Adobe subscription needed.
Where Lightroom falls short for video.
Lightroom excels at photo editing. Video color grading is a different workflow.
No native LUT export
Lightroom can't export your grade as a .cube LUT file without a third-party plugin. Luttie exports .cube natively — ready for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and CapCut.
Built for photos, not video
Lightroom's color grading workflow is designed around stills. Luttie is built from the ground up for video colorists — with the three-way color wheels, RGB curves, and HSL secondaries a video workflow actually needs.
Requires an Adobe subscription
Lightroom starts at $10/month as part of Adobe Creative Cloud. Luttie Pro is $7/month — open a tab and grade, no install required.
