What It Does
LutLens gives you a library of over 600 LUTs (Look-Up Tables) organized into 25 style categories. The plugin lives inside After Effects as an extension panel, where you can browse presets, preview transformations, and apply color grades with one click. Categories range from cinematic and vintage looks to sci-fi, moody, wedding, urban, and newer additions like Euro Classic, Mystic Haze, and Travelogue.
Key Features
Before-after preview panel. Slide between the original and graded versions to see exactly how a LUT transforms your footage before applying it.
25 curated categories. Each category holds multiple LUT files, giving you options for different moods and visual styles without hunting through folders.
Intensity controls. Adjust the strength of any applied LUT to fine-tune the look. You’re not locked into full-strength presets.
Bookmark system with import/export. Save your favorite LUTs as bookmarks and transfer them between projects or machines.
Toast notifications. The panel shows lightweight in-app notifications when you apply a LUT or perform other actions.
Who It’s For
Useful if you grade footage regularly and want a faster way to test looks than manually importing cube files. The before-after slider and category organization make it easier to compare options when you’re working under deadline. The bookmark system helps if you reuse certain looks across multiple projects.
Pricing
LutLens costs $29 as an upgrade for existing users. The regular price is $112.50 (currently discounted from $149.99). One-time purchase, no subscription. A trial version is available to test the panel before buying.
