- Description
- The .3dl format stores a 3D Lookup Table (LUT) used for color grading and color transformation in video and film production. It defines how input RGB values are mapped to output RGB values, often used to apply a specific color look or convert between color spaces. It is commonly used in professional color grading software such as Autodesk Lustre and Flame, as well as other NLEs and grading tools that support LUT import/export.
- A CDL file is an ASC Color Decision List: XML that pairs shots with ASC CDL colour corrections (slope, offset, power, saturation), used to carry grades between editing and colour grading applications.
