The Easiest Way to Colour Grade Apple Log on Your iPhone

The Easiest Way to Colour Grade Apple Log on Your iPhone

If you've just started shooting in Apple Log on your iPhone, you’ve probably noticed something:

Your footage suddenly looks flat, grey and washed out.

That’s normal.
And it actually means your iPhone is capturing more detail than before.

Apple Log keeps more information in the bright areas and shadows, so your video has more flexibility when you edit. The trade-off is that it doesn’t look great straight out of the camera — it needs colour grading.

The good news?
Colour grading Apple Log doesn’t need to be difficult at all.


Why Apple Log Looks Flat

Standard iPhone video comes with baked-in contrast and colour. Apple Log turns that off so the camera can save as much highlight and shadow detail as possible.

This gives you a more cinematic starting point, but only after you grade it.

Until then, it will always look:

  • Grey
  • Low contrast
  • Low saturation

Totally normal.


The Simple Fix: Use a LUT

A LUT is basically a video preset.
You apply it to your Apple Log footage, and it instantly brings back clean contrast and colour.

Think of it like:

Flat Apple Log → Add LUT → Cinematic look

No complicated colour work.
No messing with curves.
No guessing.

Just one click and your footage looks the way it’s supposed to.


Why iPhone-Specific LUTs Matter

Apple Log and Apple Log 2 behave differently from big cinema cameras, so generic LUTs often look too contrasty or too colourful.

This is why iPhone-specific LUTs give the best result — they’re designed for the way the iPhone sensor captures colour.

The iPhone Apple Log LUT Pack was built exactly for that:

  • Clean colour
  • Balanced contrast
  • Normal skin tones
  • Consistent results across all iPhone Pro models

You get a professional-looking grade without needing any editing skills.


The Easiest Workflow for Beginners

Here’s the simple version:

Shoot Apple Log → Apply the LUT → Make tiny adjustments → Export

That’s it.

Every editing app that supports LUTs will work:

  • CapCut
  • VN
  • LumaFusion
  • DaVinci Resolve
  • Final Cut Pro
  • Blackmagic app

If you can import a .cube file, you can use the LUTs.


Why This Makes a Big Difference

Using a LUT saves you:

  • Time
  • Confusion
  • Unnecessary editing
  • Inconsistent colour between clips

You get a clean, finished, cinematic look in seconds — even if you’re not a professional.


If You Want the Fastest, Easiest Results

The iPhone Apple Log LUT Pack gives you ready-made colour grades designed specifically for iPhone Log footage.

One click → your flat footage becomes clean, colourful and cinematic.

If you’re shooting Apple Log on iPhone and want the easiest way to make your videos look better instantly, this is the tool you need.
