In case you find my tedious narrative excruciating here are some written guidelines.

1. Download the first 3 files from the very first link after submitting the kinds.

2. Make certain you have the EOS Utility installed. Plug in your camera and set it to manual mode “M”.

3. Go to “Camera Settings/Remote Shooting” and click “Register User Defined Style”.

4. Select the cinestyle.pf2 file you downloaded previously.

5. * Vital: Set your video camera settings to Contrast: -4 and Saturation: -2.

6. Tape some video.

7. Go to the 2nd link and download and set up LUT Pal.

8. Open After Effects or Premiere (or last cut).

9. Use LUT friend to your footage, go to alternatives and import the.LUT file you downloaded earlier.

10. Apply your color correction on top of this.

The entire point of the.LUT file Technicolor provides is to give your footage a log profile. It includes contrast around the midtones while providing highlights and shadows a smooth roll off. If you just apply your color correction without using the.LUT you will be losing a lot of information.
