LuttieThe Fuji Eterna film look
Eterna was Fujifilm's motion picture negative, loved for restraint: low saturation, soft contrast and cool, slightly green-leaning mids. Luttie's Soft 500 is shaped after it, for footage that should feel like cinema without shouting.
Where it comes from
Fujifilm made Eterna for cinematographers who wanted a calmer palette than Kodak's, and it became a byword for muted, naturalistic colour. Fujifilm later stopped making motion picture film, but brought the name back as a film simulation in its mirrorless cameras — which is why so many people now search for an Eterna LUT to match footage from other cameras.
How to grade it
In order. Every control below exists in the Luttie editor, free to use in your browser.
Film panel → Soft 500
Pick Soft 500 as the negative.
Soft Print keeps the gentle cinema feel; Scan is flatter still. Cinema Print adds more contrast than Eterna is known for.
Source
sRGB for Rec.709 footage and photos, or your camera's log profile. Panasonic V-Log isn't a source option yet — convert to Rec.709 first.
Crosstalk
Lower it towards 50–70 for the most muted Eterna feel.
Printer lights
Red +1 or +2 gives the cooler, cleaner cast; more light on a colour means less of it.
Export
Export a .cube (Luttie Pro) for Resolve, Premiere, Final Cut or CapCut desktop.
When it works
Drama and documentary footage that should feel natural and understated
Overcast exteriors and interiors where saturation would look forced
Footage going into a darker, cooler grade that needs a gentle base
Matching other cameras to Fujifilm's Eterna aesthetic
When to avoid it
Anything that should pop — food, product, travel with bright colour — where Eterna's restraint reads as dull. Reach for Vivid 100 instead.
Frequently asked
No. Fujifilm's film simulation is an in-camera profile. Soft 500 is a film model shaped after the Eterna cinema negative's character. It aims for the same restraint, but it isn't a copy of the in-camera simulation, and Luttie isn't affiliated with Fujifilm.
