Color Grading vs Lightscope

Color Grading: Video LUTs helps you give your iPhone videos a cinematic look with built-in LUT presets and simple color controls. Add warmth to travel footage, try a faded film style for a vlog, or explore a cooler look for city clips. IMPORT, GRADE, SAVE Choose a video from Photos, apply a look, adjust its strength, and compare the result with your original. Save the graded video to Photos and share it using the iOS share sheet. Edit clips up to 5 minutes; for a longer video, select and trim a section of up to 5 minutes before grading. PREVIEW 8 BUILT-IN LOOKS Try all 8 LUT presets on your own footage before choosing a look. Use the intensity slider to make the effect subtle or stronger. Free to export at 720p with a watermark: Clean Film, Warm Sunset and Bright Travel. Pro required to export: Moody Street, Soft Portrait, Vintage Fade, Teal Orange and Night City. FINE-TUNE YOUR COLOR Adjust exposure to change brightness, contrast to shape light and dark tones, saturation to control color intensity, and temperature to shift the image warmer or cooler. COMPARE BEFORE YOU EXPORT Tap Original to view the source footage, then Graded to return to your edit. Check the look and your adjustments before saving. FREE & LIFETIME PRO Free includes all 8 preset previews, color adjustments, before-and-after comparison, and 720p export with a watermark using the 3 free presets. Lifetime Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks export with all 8 presets, the 1080p HD export option, and watermark-free videos. No subscription. The 5-minute clip limit applies to both free and Pro. Video processing happens on your device. No account is required. Color Grading focuses on individual video clips. Custom LUT import and multi-clip timeline editing are not supported.
