Canon CLOG 2/ REC709

Thomas Kovacik Canon CLOG2/REC709 LUT — a professional grading base for freelance video work

The gist: A neutral, professional-grade conversion LUT built by a working commercial DP — a useful shortcut if you edit or shoot Canon CLOG2 footage as part of a remote video or content career.

• Four LUT versions: V1 through V4 offer different contrast/saturation starting points, useful for matching varied client footage or lighting conditions across projects.
• 17, 33, and 65-point cube options: gives editors flexibility to balance grading precision against system performance on a laptop workstation.
• Wide Dynamic Range Pre-LUT included: recovers extra dynamic range before applying the main LUT, helpful for high-contrast interview or event footage.
• DaVinci Resolve and Premiere compatible: Premiere users apply it through Lumetri's creative tab, fitting standard freelance editing workflows.

According to Thomas Kovacik's own site, he built this as a "natural clean base where you have the latitude to add / take away contrast, sat, etc." — he's a working commercial, branded, and YouTube-content DP based in Huntington Beach, CA.

Best for: freelance videographers and editors handling Canon CLOG2 client footage who want a professional neutral starting point. Skip it if: you don't shoot CLOG2 or prefer a fully baked stylized look. Check the current price before buying.
