Lightroom Plugin for Mac (Apple Silicon): Instantly Create Custom Video LUTs from Your Edits

Use your develop settings in Lightroom Classic to create a LUT that can be applied in most professional and prosumer video software in an instant.

After purchase, you'll receive an email with a download link and license key.

System Requirements

1. An Apple computer with an Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2, M3, etc.)
2. Adobe Lightroom Classic 10.0 or newer
3. macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) or newer
4. 200MB of free storage space

Installation & Usage Instructions

1. Download and open the .dmg file. This will mount a volume containing the plugin.
2. Important: Before using the plugin, you must move the .lrplugin file out of the mounted volume and onto your local drive (e.g., your Documents folder). Lightroom cannot use plugins directly from the mounted volume.
3. Open Lightroom, go to File > Plugin Manager.
4. In the popup window, click Add, locate the .lrplugin file (now on your local drive), and select it. The plugin is now installed.

To export a LUT:

1. In Lightroom, go to File > Plugin Extras > Export Settings to LUT.
2. Enter your license/activation key when prompted.
3. Select the folder where your video editor stores LUTs, then click Choose/OK.
4. The LUT will generate automatically. You’ll see a popup if any settings couldn't be included (like masking, cropping, noise reduction, sharpening, dehaze or other local adjustments).
5. The LUT preserves most color and tone from your image, but the translation may not be 100% identical.

Best Practices

• Use a still frame from the video you want to edit — this gives the most accurate result.
• Export an unedited frame (no color or exposure adjustments) from your video to use as your base image in Lightroom.
• After generating and applying the LUT, you can continue to fine-tune the look in your video editing software.
• Extremely heavy edits may not translate cleanly and could produce unexpected results — keep your grade balanced for best outcomes.
