Bransford MediaApple Log to Rec.709
Free Apple iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max LUT (Apple Log to Rec.709)
Turns the iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max's Apple Log footage into normal-looking Rec.709 video. One .cube LUT, free for any project, no email.
The zip holds the same LUT twice: a 65-point file for editing, and a 33-point file for monitoring on a camera or in an app, or for older apps that won't load the larger one.
Built from Apple's published spec and checked against Apple's own LUT.
Apple Log, as recorded
With the LUT
The LUT converts Apple Log with Rec.2020 color, as the manufacturer publishes them, into Rec.709 through the ACES 2.0 output (SDR, 100 nits).
