What are custom filters (LUTs) in VN Editor app
LUTs (also known as presets) are custom filters that can add a cinematic look to your videos. They can be used to color grade your footage and make it look more professional.
If you are a beginner who knows nothing about color grading and using editing tools, then LUTs are a blessing to you. By applying a custom filter or LUT to your video footage, you can easily adjust the color and tone in your video to create a specific look and feel.
LUTs are basically files that have CUBE format. These files can be imported into any video editing software that supports custom filters like the VN Video Editor. You can download and use custom LUTs that have been created by other professionals.
How to import custom filters in VN app on iPhone
The first thing you need to do is to download the LUTs on your iPhone. You can find these LUTs online through Google search or YouTube. Simply, search for “Cinematic LUTs for VN” or “Best VN LUTs Filters”. You can also download LUTs that are available for other editing programs like Adobe Premiere or Lightroom.
