How does this Classic Negative LUT work?

Built specifically for Log footage, this 2-in-1 LUT handles both steps in one go - it first normalizes the image to Rec.709 and then applies a stylistic grade based on the Classic Negative film simulation.

How To Use This Classic Neg LUT?

To get the best results, overexpose your Log footage by +1.5 to +2 stops. Ensure your source Log footage is white-balanced to a neutral baseline (5500K for daylight) before applying the LUT. After applying, adjust contrast, saturation, and exposure to your taste.

What Type of Video Footage Is It Suitable For?

It is suitable for footage shot in Log format. For best results, shoot in daytime at around 5500K light source.

Does this LUT work for both video and photos?

Nope. This is just for videos, since it was designed with a log footage starting point in mind.

Do You Have Classic Neg Presets?

Yes, Classic Negative Lightroom & Capture One presets are included in a pack of 80+ presets for Sony users. You get 2 presets: one that matches the in-camera JPEG recipe, and one that gives you a more accurate emulation of the look.

What Video Editing Tools are Compatible?

Any video editing tool that is compatible with .cube files, such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Final Cut Pro X.

Apply a Classic Negative LUT to your videos with this 2-in-1 solution, designed to convert log footage (S-Log, C-Log, Log C) to Rec. 709, while also applying a Fujifilm Classic-Negative creative grade.

Tested extensively on Log formats from Canon R5C, Sony a7S III, Burano & a6700, Red KOMODO, Nikon, Panasonic and ARRI Alexa S35 cameras. Each LUT was stress tested to ensure smooth transitions.

Inspired by Fujifilm’s Classic Negative film simulation, this LUT produces a cold, nostalgic tone, soft contrast, and desaturated colors. The heart of the grade lies in the magenta/orange highlight shifts and cyan-shifted shadows that define Classic Neg.

Built specifically for Log footage, this 2-in-1 LUT handles both steps in one go - it first normalizes the image to Rec.709 and then applies a stylistic grade based on the Classic Negative film simulation.
To get the best results from this LUT, follow these tips:

Set your Exposure Correctly:

When shooting in Log format (S-Log, C-Log, Log C), overexpose your footage by +1.5 - +2 stops.

White Balance

Ensure your source Log footage is white-balanced to a neutral baseline before applying the LUT. The LUT is balanced for daylight, meaning 5500K, so for any other type of light source you will have to color balance manually.

Apply the LUT.

After applying the LUT

Adjust contrast, saturation, and exposure to your taste. Use the curves or wheels for a more refined control. As a base look, Classic Neg has high contrast, faded shadows, and highly desaturated controls.
Shoot in Log format.

For best results, shoot in daytime at around 5500K light source.
