Once you build a look you love, you can bake it into a LUT and reuse it anywhere — other projects, other editors, even on-set monitors. Here is how to export a .cube LUT from a grade in DaVinci Resolve.
Create the grade you want to save as a node chain. Remember a LUT bakes in only color/contrast math — it cannot store Power Windows, tracking or spatial effects.
Right-click the graded clip's thumbnail in the Color page timeline → Generate LUT → choose 33 Point Cube (a good balance of accuracy and size). Save it — it lands in your LUT folder automatically.
Your new .cube now installs like any other — see how to install a LUT. You can share it, load it on a set monitor, or use it as a fast starting point on future edits.
Export a LUT when you want a portable, one-click look. Save a PowerGrade when you want every node to stay editable inside Resolve. Many colorists keep both.
Right-click the graded clip's thumbnail on the Color page, choose Generate LUT, and pick a resolution like 33 Point Cube. Resolve saves a .cube file to your LUT folder.
33 Point Cube is the usual choice: accurate enough for almost everything and a reasonable file size. Use 65 point for maximum precision, or 17 point for lightweight on-set previews.
No. A LUT only stores a color and contrast transform. Power Windows, qualifiers, tracking and spatial effects cannot be baked into a LUT — save those as a PowerGrade instead.
