Warm Golden Hour — Free Cinematic Warm LUT

The amber, soft light of the hour before sunset, applied to footage shot at any time of day.

What it looks like

Shadows lift toward warm amber-brown, mid-tones take a golden cast, and highlights push to creamy yellow-white. Blues in sky and water are suppressed slightly so they do not fight the warmth. Contrast is soft: lifted blacks, contained highlights.

What it's good for

• Travel and lifestyle: warm outdoor scenes
• Wedding and event: flattering under mixed lighting
• Food and hospitality: warm light reads as appetising
• Short-form social: holds up at small sizes

How to use it

Download the .cube file and import it into your NLE:

• DaVinci Resolve → Color page → LUTs panel → right-click to import
• Premiere Pro → Lumetri Color → Creative → Look → Browse
• Final Cut Pro → Effects → Custom LUT → assign the file
• CapCut Desktop → Adjust → LUT → import (the mobile app has no LUT import)

Expose properly first. This enhances well-exposed footage and will not rescue an underexposed clip.
