Potensic LUTS FOR DRONE FOOTAGE
Potensic drone flyers can use DroneLUTs to shape the colour of aerial video and stills without locking themselves into one visual style. Start with the cleanest correction you can, then choose a grade that fits the location.
These are creative looks for drone footage, not camera-specific conversion profiles. If you are new to grading, start with what a LUT is and how it works, then follow the steps below for your footage.
HOW TO USE POTENSIC LUTS
- Start by checking whether your Potensic clip is standard or recorded with a flat-looking profile. Flat footage should be converted to Rec.709 before a creative LUT is applied.
- Set exposure and white balance first, then lower LUT intensity when a lighter touch suits the scene. This helps retain detail in clouds, water and bright ground.
- Use .cube for compatible video editors and .xmp, .lrtemplate or .dng for supported Lightroom workflows.
DRONELUTS FORMATS
Every pack includes .cube, .xmp, .lrtemplate and .dng files. That means one purchase covers a broad range of video editing and photo workflows, from a desktop colour grade to Lightroom Mobile.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do these work with Potensic Atom footage?
They can be used with compatible Potensic video and photo workflows. Apply the technical conversion required by the recorded profile before using a creative DroneLUTs grade.
What file do I need for Potensic video?
Use the .cube version in compatible video software. Each pack also includes Lightroom-friendly .xmp, .lrtemplate and .dng formats for still photography.
Do I have to shoot in a flat profile on a Potensic drone?
No. You can apply a creative LUT to standard footage after correcting exposure and white balance. Only footage recorded in a flat or log profile needs the matching technical conversion before the creative grade.
Can I use a Potensic photo preset on video?
For video, use the .cube LUT in an editor that supports it. The .xmp, .lrtemplate and .dng files are for compatible Lightroom and still-photo workflows rather than direct video LUT imports.
