Luts for the EOS R7

[Bigmon68]

Hello, I recently purchased the Canon R7 and I am trying to learn how to edit my footage.  I keep seeing references to Luts.  Can someone share with me two things?  First, does the R7 have Luts available for it and second, where can they be found?  

Thanks

A LUT is used to transform the flat Log footage in to something more readily recognisable or a specific colour space. Some LUTS are also used to add a colour grade to footage.

Canon has two LUT packages available for the EOS R7, you can find them on the software and drivers page for the EOS R7 camera https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-r7#idReference%3Dsoftware-drivers

Thank you so much for your help.  I don't see any file that specifically shows the LUTS.  If you don't mind, can you send me the link?  All I see are downloads for firmware updates, and I have the latest update.

Choose an OS on the page, I selected Windows 11 and then scrolled down and had to click the load more button to see the LUTs but I found them. 

This is the file you want to download

Thank you, I've downloaded the file.  I hope it works because I am using a MAC.

The ZIP file will extract on the Mac then you need to put the LUT files in the place required for your software. The LUTs themselves are suitable for both Windows and Mac.

Unless you are editing a lot of footage, I would suggest staying away from C-Log, it just adds an extra step that keeps you from sharing your videos with friends. 

Unless you find that the standard video formats are deficient in some way.
