How do you import Technicolor Cinestyle MGA LUT file

[wandera89]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Technicolor's Cinestyle LUT file for Canon 5DMII in Speedgrade. Unfortunately Speedgrade does not seem to be able to read the MGA file nor the .txt file provided. I'm using a windows computer.

I think I figured it out. Download Magic Bullet's LUT Buddy, install the CS5 version. Move the plugin to CS6 folder. Then open Premiere or After Effects, use LUT Buddy to import the MGA file, and export it as a .cube file.

Enjoy.

I've done all of this but how do you import LUT? If I select that folder with the lut in it at the bottom of speedgrade nothing happens. Also my other looks aren't showing up there either. Not sure what's going on?

I found the import button under calibration.

Thank you so much for coming back to tell us how you did it!  I Googled this problem today and thanks to you, it's working perfectly.

Anyone have a Technicolor LUT compatible for SpeedGrade somewhere? I'm on a PC with CS6 and MB LUT Buddy is only for CS5 and CS5.5.

Hi Patrick!  I can help you out, my friend.  LUT Buddy does in fact work in CS6, as I have it installed and use it in there a lot.  I realize that it's not advertised as such, but it definitely does work.  As the original poster pointed out, you need to install the CS5 version and move the plugin manually over to the CS6 plugins directory.  The LUT file I use is called "S-curve_for_CineStyle.mga"

That was it.. I was trying the 5.5 version and it would fail out with a Registry Error. I tried the 5 and manually moved it.. Thanks.
