THANK YOU. What a wonderful, understandable, coherant way of explaining what a LUT is. It's so refreshing to watch a vidoe that gets right to the point, completely explains the promised answers and does it with clarity. I can't wait to see the other videos you have created.
This was explained so well. LOL. I care much more about this subject than I should after hearing this explanation. For real tho, this explanation really sparked my curiosity about this subject, and I didn't really believe that was possible. Good work. Good teaching.
Wow! This was explained exactly how I needed to understand the concept. Down to the pace. Probably helps that I'm a software enginee by trade. Amazing job.
Fantastic. Thank you! I'm so glad you pulled it all together with the grid explanation at the end. I was trying to figure this part out with the Canon LUT naming convention.
Great video. All the other videoes on this stopped after the instagram analogy, which is the part I figured out myself by just choosing a LUT from the dropdown. Now I actually know what it does, which is what I wanted!
Perfect came here having seen and used but with little knowledge of how they funtioned . Left knowing why some had failed and produced artifacts .a very low node value was the cause . Thanks a bunch
At last.. there is something stimulating on YT.. You are a good man to know, Thank you for the succinct explanation, Subscribed. Now I am gonna check the rest of your contribution bellow.
Thanks a lot for this great explanation. So good interpolation algorithms can bring more accuracy to the result when the LUTs resolution isn't that high.
Very good explanation. And I really like the animations you have used and the way you have used them to keep the video interesting and entertaining. After all, how information is presented determines if one will take it to memory after watching.
Excellent video thank you I’m trying to figure out if all luts are compatible with all photo or video editing softwares but cannot find a video about this So the issue of compatibility is a topic that could be addressed
Beautifully produced video, and great explanation. I guess viewers have an understand of lookup tables, however, the only reason I am looking at this is because I am investigating 3DTV (how retro!). If my understanding is correct, LUT is used for colour (contrast, brightness etc), and has absolutely nothing to do with 3D. Currys (.co.uk) have an article "Is 3D TV still a thing?" in which they say that "Most new high-end TVs still have it. Though they’re no longer branded 3D TVs. They’re 4K UHD TVs or OLED TVs that include 3D as one of their myriad features." ...so, I am looking at TV specs, and don't see 3D as a feature, but come across 3D LUT ... maybe people appreciate lookup tables as a feature, but I find this terminology confusing (and generally unnecessary for a consumer).
Thanks for the video! I often make LUTs in Resolve for Premiere Pro. Should I be making 33 point, or 65 point LUTs for Premiere? If 65 is offering better quality and less banding, is there any reason to make a 33 point LUT? Thanks!
4:30 if the colors in between are calculated it means that different bit depths are no problem bcs it can calculate all the possible colors in between the nodes? So no quality loss when using 3d lut on a 16 bit image? Or is there a border at like 12 bits or 14 bits where the lut is not able to find the accurate exact color and instead go to the next 8bit or 10 bit color which is close to the actual one?
I learned so much, thanks. Imagine a world where it's all analog and we don't have to know or use this stuff. :) Great title for the video would be LUT, WUT?
I have a moderate background in photography and am just getting into color grading of my drone footage. In order to get an accurate "Golden Hour" color LUT, can I take a large grey card and expose it in natural "Golden Hour " light and then create a lut from it? Thanks
Thanks for explanation, it was very useful . In my case 1D LUT used , for converting HDR video to SDR on SoC platform. And I'm still can't get why exactly N point of LUT is used. It's because of precise of interpolation?
great job explaining this
Agreed! 👏Very nicely covered...Thank you for this! 🙏
Detailed answer with great visuals, thank for you not wasting 10 minutes talking!
Nicely done! I already had an idea what they were but this was next level, and explained beautifully.
This is fantastic. You were the only person I've ever seen explain the grid system of 3D Luts. Very well explained video. Bravo.
I only had a vague notion of LUTs before watching this. Very clearly explained. thanks.
you are an excellent teacher. thank you for sharing your understanding of LUT's.
As programmer, I relly liked the way you gave a glance at the mathematical aspect without getting too much in depth. Good job!
Thank you! This was the only video I could find that actually explains how they work clearly.
First rate explanation. Thank you.
wow you are an incredible teacher... thank you!
Video well colorgraded with a simple but very eye pleasant look. Good composition, good skin tones and well managed lighting

I want to thank you and say you really are good at teaching intricate subjects quite simply and understandable. Great lesson.
Perfect video, thank you! Short, no intro, great detail and visuals.

As many have already stated, you are a natural at explaining complex information. Well done.
I've heard about LUTs for years, but never took the time to learn what they were. Thank you for the info, it was very helpful!
Perfect came here having seen and used but with little knowledge of how they funtioned . Left knowing why some had failed and produced artifacts .a very low node value was the cause . Thanks a bunch
And I thought I knew how luts work... Thanks for a great explanation!
I already believed this was how it worked, but I wasn't certain - you confirmed it for me, thanks.
Absolutely brilliant explanation. Visual examples are perfect for visually oriented people. BIG THANKS!
Made my day, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for
That was so easy to understand and so helpful, thank you!
Really the best explanation on here, you're the best man!
I didn't find the link to the poll, but: The explanation was excellent. Job well done.
I like how you explained this concept. Thank you
Thank you for this explanation. The part about low resolution LUTS being a source of banding was particularly interesting.
My maths knowledge gained from school just tingled a bit after watching this video
A really good lut explanation. I like the animations alot!
Your explanation was awesome!! Way to go ;)!
At last.. there is something stimulating on YT.. You are a good man to know, Thank you for the succinct explanation, Subscribed. Now I am gonna check the rest of your contribution bellow.
Wow, it makes so much sense now. Thank you for explaining LUT.
Thanks a lot for this great explanation.

Very good explanation my friend. I respect that.
That was really good. I'm impressed! Thanks!
This is a very good explaination of LUT. Reminded me of my image processing lab, but using MATLAB instead.
Congrats very good and clear Explanation!
The poll didn't show but you helped me understand 100%.
Thank you!!!
Excellently described, thanks
Perfect, nice and bright explanation.Thanks :)
Very well explained! Pls keep up the good work!!!
Amazing as always!!!
Thanks, this helps a lot. You must have put a lot of time into the video, it's very nicely made!
This was a very good tutorial on what is lut
best LUT explaination ever
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. You are very knowledgeable!
that was very well explained indeed.
Thank you for your work sir! Explained very clearly!
Killed it! I will be sharing.
If only you were my math teacher in school, I would have nailed all my problems.
Thank you sir. Clear and concise.
thanks so much--- video is perfect and extremely helpful!!! keep them coming!!
Nicely explained! Thanks mate!
Nice summary!
Great explanation. Very clear.
Excellent explanation!
Thank you for explaining so well
Great visualizations!
superb explanation
Very clear explanation thanks !
Excellent explanation.
Love the way you explained it with a very simple voice So how can I these luts
This was excellent. Thank you.
best intel on luts so far. thanks!
Excellent video thank you

Thank you so much. It is easy to understand.
Sure! What's the difference between Full to Full and Full to Narrow. Full to Narrow seems to be more contrasted
Awesome explanation
This is so helpful, thanks!

Thanks for your explaination. It helps a lot!
Good explanation, one question, how do we read and interpret a cube file, for example. Also how to create a cube file.
Wonderfully informational!
it is the only video let me understand about LUT, thanks !!!
Thank you very informative and to the point
Great information, thank you!
so very well done!
Excellent work. thank you.
Amazing Explanation man!!!
Great explanation
very nice and clear
best explanation ever... Thank You..

Strong work
Thank you for this 🙌🏽
I learned so much, thanks. Imagine a world where it's all analog and we don't have to know or use this stuff. :) Great title for the video would be LUT, WUT?
fantastic explanation thanks!!
I would also like to see an update for tetrahedral luts that DaVinci Resolve uses.
Beautifuly explained
Are certain luts made for certain base color profiles? What happens if you apply a lut to an image where a lut was already applied?
I have a moderate background in photography and am just getting into color grading of my drone footage. In order to get an accurate "Golden Hour" color LUT, can I take a large grey card and expose it in natural "Golden Hour " light and then create a lut from it? Thanks
Thanks for explanation, it was very useful . In my case 1D LUT used , for converting HDR video to SDR on SoC platform. And I'm still can't get why exactly N point of LUT is used.
It's because of precise of interpolation?
