Sony S-Log3 LUTs — S-Log3 to Rec.709 Conversion Pack
10 .cube LUTs for Sony S-Log3: 5 look LUTs to apply after your Rec.709 conversion, plus 5 film stock looks that convert S-Log3 and grade in one file. For A7S III, FX3, FX6, FX9 and VENICE.
5 cinematic .cube LUTs for Sony S-Log3 workflows. Covers the A7S III, FX3, FX6, FX9, VENICE, A1, and any Sony camera shooting S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine.
Apply your S-Log3 conversion first
These are look LUTs, not conversion LUTs. S-Log3 holds its highlights far above what a display can show, and these grades do not expand that range, so applied straight to log footage the result stays flat and the highlights stay dead. Convert to Rec.709 first using Sony's own conversion LUT or your editor's colour-space transform, then stack one of these on top. That is the normal order in any grading suite: technical transform, then look.
What's in the pack
Warm Cinematic
Rich amber and teal tones with lifted shadows. Gives Sony footage the polished, warm look of high-end travel and commercial cinematography.
Cool Moody
Desaturated blues and cooled highlights with deep shadows. Ideal for overcast conditions, urban environments, and dramatic narrative scenes.
Bleach Bypass
High-contrast desaturated look inspired by the classic darkroom technique. Lifts shadows, crushes colour. Gritty and stylised.
Faded Film
Lifted blacks, muted saturation, and a warm cast across midtones. The timeless film-worn aesthetic applied to Sony log footage.
High Contrast
Deep blacks, punchy highlights, and vibrant colour. Gives converted S-Log3 footage immediate visual impact.
Film stock looks
Five more files, built with Luttie's film engine. Unlike the five looks above, these go straight onto S-Log3 footage with no conversion before them: each one decodes S-Log3 and S-Gamut3.Cine itself, then develops the image through a film stock. Stacking Sony's conversion LUT underneath would convert the footage twice.
- Portrait 400 · Scan — inspired by Kodak Portra 400, scanned: soft contrast, warm skin, pastel highlights.
- Tungsten 500 · Cinema Print — inspired by Kodak Vision3 500T, through a print inspired by Kodak 2383: night and interiors, clean cool shadows, dense blacks.
- Daylight 250 · Cinema Print — inspired by Kodak Vision3 250D, through the same cinema print: neutral daylight colour with a projected-film finish.
- Soft 500 · Soft Print — inspired by Fuji Eterna 500, through a gentler print inspired by Fuji 3513DI: muted colour, soft contrast.
- Vivid 100 · Scan — inspired by Kodak Ektar 100, scanned: saturated, punchy colour.
Luttie's film stocks are its own, shaped after published data about the films named. They aren't measured copies, and Luttie isn't affiliated with Kodak or Fujifilm. To adjust one, set the same stock and source in the film engine and export your own.

What each look does
