In addition to ProRes, Camera LUTs, and 4K Cinematic, the new iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature Log video recording for professional videography on mobile.

The Custom LUT filter in Motion applies stylized film and video “looks” (such as Summer, Old Timey, Sci-Fi, and so on), camera LUTs, or tone mapping (to convert footage from one color space to another).

Stylized LUT effects are available from a variety of third-party sources. Camera LUTs, used to convert “flat” or log footage from high-end cameras to standard color spaces.
