Device Compatibility
There are two ways to use this LUT, depending on your iPhone model:
Method 1: Native LOG Recording (iPhone 15 and Newer)
- iPhone 15 series and newer models can record in LOG format directly through the native camera app
- This is the recommended method as it provides the best quality
Method 2: Using Blackmagic Camera App (Older iPhones)
- If you have an older iPhone model, you can still achieve similar results
- Download the Blackmagic Camera app from the App Store
- This app allows LOG-style recording on older iPhone models
Step-by-Step Guide
Recording Your Footage
- Open your camera app (either native iPhone camera or Blackmagic Camera app)
- If using iPhone 15 or newer: Enable LOG recording in your camera settings
- If using Blackmagic Camera app: Select LOG color profile in the app settings
- Record your footage - don't worry if it looks gray and flat, this is normal
Applying the LUT
- Transfer your footage to your editing device (computer or iPad)
