Good to know
- CapCut accepts .cube and .3dl LUT files.Source
- CapCut's pages don't show the exact click that applies an imported LUT, where its intensity slider is, or whether LUT import needs CapCut Pro.
- No official CapCut page describes importing a .cube file in the phone app, so this guide covers the desktop app only.
