QT Gamma Compensation Lut

QT Gamma Compensation LUT for Premiere Pro

The QT Gamma Compensation LUT for Premiere Pro fixes color and gamma issues caused by differences in color processing between macOS and Windows. H.264 and H.265 exports often appear washed out or too dark. With this LUT, you can ensure your video looks exactly the same after export as it does in Premiere.

Perfect for anyone who wants to avoid color shifts and ensure a consistent look across all devices.

Why Do You Need the QT Gamma Compensation LUT?

• Apple’s QuickTime color processing interprets gamma values differently than Premiere Pro, which causes exported videos to look different on Mac and Windows.
• Videos often appear washed out, too dark, or low in contrast when viewed on different platforms.
• This is especially problematic for H.264 and H.265 exports, as Premiere Pro often saves them with an incorrect gamma value.

What Does the QT Gamma Compensation LUT Do?

• It corrects gamma differences, particularly between Rec.709 (2.4 Gamma) and Rec.709-A (Apple’s interpretation).
• It ensures that your video looks the same after export as it does in Premiere Pro.
• Especially useful for Mac users who need to test their videos across different systems.
