DJI D-Log M LUT Pack
16 LUTs for Osmo Pocket 3 & Mini 4 Pro
Shooting an Osmo Pocket 4? It records D-Log, not D-Log M, with its own pack: DJI D-Log LUTs
The Osmo Pocket 3 records D-Log M, DJI's flat profile, and it looks grey until something converts it. These LUTs do the conversion and the look together, so one file takes a Pocket 3 clip from flat to finished.
Osmo Pocket 3
Convert D-Log M before you grade it
Log footage is recorded flat on purpose: it holds highlight and shadow detail far outside what a display can show. A look LUT does not expand that range, so applied straight to log the image stays washed out and the highlights stay dead. Convert to Rec.709 first, then grade on top. Technical transform, then look, in that order.
The workflow
Turn on D-Log M
In the Pocket 3's settings, set Color to D-Log M and record 10-bit. The normal profile bakes in contrast you can't take back out.
Expose for the highlights
Skies and faces near a window clip first. Keep them off the top of the histogram and lift the rest afterwards.
Apply one LUT
Each one-step LUT here contains the D-Log M to Rec.709 conversion. Don't put DJI's conversion underneath it.
Grade on top
Set white balance and exposure before the LUT if a shot needs it, then fine-tune after.

Questions
Yes, D-Log M, in 10-bit. It is the same D-Log M as the Mini 4 Pro and Mavic 3 Pro: DJI ships the identical D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for all three.
For a plain conversion, yes, and it's free from DJI's download page. The Luttie pack is for when you want the look as well, in one file: a conversion, a neutral, four looks and five film stocks, each converting D-Log M first.
It's fitted to DJI's own Pocket 3 D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT: colour within about a degree of hue of DJI's, a little brighter, with Luttie's highlight shoulder in place of DJI's roll-off.
No. The Pocket 4 records full D-Log, a different curve, so a D-Log M LUT gets it wrong. It has its own D-Log pack.
In CapCut desktop, yes: it imports .cube files. The CapCut phone app has no custom LUT import, so on a phone grade the clip in the Luttie editor and import the finished video.
