In addition to the look, which will be sent as a 3D LUT to a connected grading device such as a LUT box, the new major update of Livegrade also offers filters “beyond the LUT”.
They offer the option of adapting the image of a connected monitor device to individual requirements.
Following filters for slots and outputs are provided:
- Crop with offset and rotation parameters and an auto-detection to crop out the black-bordered status info from a camera HUD
- Flip for flipping the image horizontally/vertically
- Image Overlay with offset, scale, and opacity parameters (e.g., for adding a logo or watermark)
- Metadata Overlay with parameters for the metadata fields Camera, Slate Info, Slot Mode (Playback/Live), Clip Name, and Timecode
- LUT for loading a 3D LUT in a .cube format (e.g., for applying a conversion LUT for a certain display that should not be part of the look)
These filters can be added
- to a slot via the slot settings or
- to an output via the output settings
Adding a filter to a slot
Filters that you configured for your slot, will be saved with the shot in the library.

Add filter to input slot
To add a filter to a slot, please follow these steps:
- Select the slot settings tab in the slot panel and scroll down.
- Press + Add Filter and select the filter you want to add.
- After you’ve added the filter, you can also re-order your filters.
- If you load a shot into a slot and reconfigure its filters, press the Save button to update the shot in the library.
Example:
Add a WVO-to-LogC4 LUT and re-order it to be applied before the look.
Adding a filter to an output
Filters that you configured for your output, will be applied to all shown slots individually. They won’t be saved with the shots in the library.

Add filter to output
To add a filter to an output, please follow these steps:
- Select the output settings tab in the right sidebar.
- Click + Add Filter and select the filter you want to add.
- After you’ve added the filter, you can also re-order your filters.
Example:
Add a crop to hide the camera’s metadata infos.
