Free LUTs

Free LUTs for
DaVinci Resolve.

DaVinci Resolve is built for color, and the 12-LUT pack drops right into its LUT system — free and Studio both. .cube files install once into Resolve's LUT folder, then apply from the Color page in a click. Free, no email.

Install

Put the LUTs in
Resolve's LUT folder.

Resolve reads LUTs from a dedicated folder rather than browsing to a file each time, so you install once and they appear in every project.

  1. Open the LUT folder
    In Resolve go to Preferences → System → Color Management and click Open LUT Folder. Resolve opens the exact folder on your drive.
  2. Copy the .cube files in
    Drag the pack's .cube files into that folder (a subfolder is fine — it becomes a category).
  3. Refresh the list
    Back in Color Management, click Update Lists. Your LUTs now show up inside Resolve.
  4. Apply on the Color page
    Right-click a clip's node in the node editor → LUTs → pick your look. Or open the LUT browser (top-left) and drag one onto the node.

Node workflow

Where a LUT belongs in your node tree.

Resolve's power is nodes. Do your primary correction — balance, exposure, contrast — on the first node, then apply the LUT on a second node after it. That order matters: the LUT expects corrected footage, and keeping it on its own node means you can dial its strength (with a Key output gain or a following node) or swap it without touching your correction.

Free vs Studio makes no difference here — .cube LUTs work identically in both. Studio only adds things like temporal noise reduction and HDR tools, none of which the pack needs.

FAQ

DaVinci Resolve LUT questions.

How do I install a LUT in DaVinci Resolve?

Go to Preferences → System → Color Management → Open LUT Folder, copy the .cube files in, click Update Lists, then right-click a node on the Color page → LUTs → pick your look. It works in both free and Studio.

Where is the LUT folder in DaVinci Resolve?

Resolve shows you the exact path via Preferences → Color Management → Open LUT Folder. It differs by OS, so use that button rather than hunting for the path manually.

Do LUTs work in the free version of DaVinci Resolve?

Yes — .cube LUTs work identically in free and Studio. Studio adds tools like noise reduction and HDR, but nothing the pack needs.

Which node should the LUT go on?

Correct first on your primary node, then put the LUT on a second node after it. That keeps your balance and exposure separate from the look, so you can adjust or swap either independently.

Are these Resolve LUTs free for commercial use?

Yes — free for monetized YouTube, client work, and social, with no attribution required.
