Hi

. . . video files recorded from my samsung 23+ but they all look washed out . . . hevc 265 with hdr . . .

Has the pale video from the phone looks like it has been recorded in a Cine-D, Log or colour profile format.

If so, then Samsung should supply a colour correction LUT (Look Up Table) which should be placed in a new sub folder of

Correction 09/10/2024 - correct path is

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Studio version\VideoEffects

the folder should be named called LUTPresets and within that folder create a folder called LUTCamera, inside thid folder create another call Samsung s3

To use the LUT drag and drop it on to the video, the LUT will be found in Templates tab, Movie Looks, Samsung S3

This is what I get with my Osmo Action 4 HEVC, HDR Cine-D format.

Hello Serge,

Have you activated the lightning bolt (blue)? If so, deactivate it.

Best wishes,

No that wasn't activated, but thanks for trying to help.

Considering that I have the Moviestudio 2025 plus version instead of platinum. I don't have a LUTpresets folder.

So probably my application version cannot use those.

So that means that the rec2020 (equals HDR content?) and should be downconverted to 709 (standard HD content?)

Bit strange that a videoediting tool from 2024 doesn't support HDR material? Or is this conclusion incorrect?

(Im an IT guy, but not a video editing guru ;)

@Serge-2024

I know nothing of LUTs and all the other dark arts bits and pieces within MS but I think John means you have to create the various folders at the address he's shown.

I may be wrong but ...

@me_again is correct, you have to create the folders yourself as I described, MMS 2025 does not have a separate LUT category unlike it more pro version Video Pro X.

Hi

Pleased to hear you have a solution - 'Auto belichting' - 'Auto lumination' is close, in the English version of MMS the button is labelled 'Auto Exposure'.

. . . . downloaded a few *.cube files . . . .

Cube files come in 2 different formats, 1D and 3D, if you downloaded 1D cubes they will not work. There is a very good explanation of these here.

Hi everyone,

It is true that in MMS2025 versions there is no LUTPresets folder in the location specified by John EB. But don't worry, you can still use the LUTPresets.

How to do it:

• create a LUTPresets folder somewhere on disk
• 
• copy the "Free" LUTs Cube files here
• 
• start MMS2025
• create a shortcut
• 
• You can use the LUTPresets via this shortcut
• 

Good luck,
Rob

Thanks Rob, that did indeed work!

@Serge-2024

Hi

@Bol has given you an alternative option, however when you update/patch MMS the link you created may be lost and you will have to recreate it.

If you followed the steps I gave then you should have something like this which includes their usage - do note I have several libraries of LUTs for various cameras and effects with folders to reflect the usage.

Correction: video removed, see comments below.

Hello John,

I just installed VDL2025 premium completely new. I don't see the folder LUTPresets and the subfolders LUTCamera and LUTEffecten. Did you create this manually? That's why I gave Serge an alternative option

Greetings,
Rob

@Bol

Hi Rob.

MEP/MMS has never had its own LUTS folder. It's one of the differences between VPX and MMS.

@CubeAce

Hi Ray,

You confirm all my findings, that's why I gave @Serge-2024 an alternative option, which works. If you own Pro X16, there is a way to make it visible via templates. But that is not the case now.

Greetings,
Rob

@Bol

HI Rob

. . . . I don't see the folder LUTPresets and the subfolders LUTCamera and LUTEffecten. Did you create this manually? . . . .

Yes, this was mentioned in the procedure I gave here.

@johnebaker

Hi John,

I have reviewed your procedure again. As a result, I have thoroughly removed Video Deluxe 2025 again and I really mean everything. VDL2025 reinstalled. Here is a screen recording of the standard Filmlooks Basic.

I have also made a video of this so that you can see how and what.

Greetings,
Rob

PS. I am now going to create the folders LUTPresets with subfolders LUTCamera and LUTEffecten and will make a movie of it again and upload it

@johnebaker

Hi John,

I am very curious how you managed to do this. What you show in the video, I do not see, no matter what I try.

That is how I do it....

Greetings,
Rob

I believe it has something to do with the version that he is using, compared to ours. I couldn't get it to work with his steps either.

@Serge-2024

Hello Serge,

In the video you see that John did this in Movie Studio 2025 Platinum and this is similar to Video Deluxe 2025 Plus.

Best wishes,
Rob

Hoi Rob😉, Maybe its a platinum feature, to have those Luts visible from the GUI. But it could also be that we have to refresh or enable something within Moviestudio...who knows..

You solution works fine for me.

Btw do you know how to revert back to the original photo or video when applying a Lut (Other then delete and re-add the image/video)
