HLG is not a log profile — it is an HDR delivery format — but it lands in the same place in practice: you have footage that looks wrong on a normal timeline and needs converting to Rec.709 before anything else.
HDR footage — Sony, Canon, phones
Our decode inverts the HLG transfer function and maps BT.2020 to Rec.709, which is a tone-mapping problem as much as a colour one: HDR highlights have to be brought into a range Rec.709 can actually show, without flattening everything below them.
Both halves live inside the .cube you download, so the conversion cannot be forgotten, applied twice, or stacked in the wrong order — the three ways log grades usually go wrong.
Mixing HLG and SDR clips on one timeline without converting. They will never match, and colour-managing the timeline after the fact is far more work than decoding on the way in.
No pack here is authored specifically against HLG footage, but every grade in the library can carry its conversion: choose HLG as the footage type in the LUT Library and the decode is written into whichever .cube you download. If you want a starting point, the free conversions show what a neutral decode should look like.
Because it has not been decoded yet. HLG stores far more dynamic range than a normal picture profile by recording a flat, low-contrast signal — that is the point of it. A conversion to Rec.709 maps it back to an image meant to be looked at.
Not here. Pick HLG as your footage type before you download and the HLG → Rec.709 conversion is baked into the same .cube as the look, so it is one node in Resolve or one adjustment layer in Premiere.
HDR footage — Sony, Canon, phones. If your camera records HLG, these conversions apply to it.
All 175 grades in the library can bake a HLG conversion in — choose HLG as the footage type before downloading and it is written into the .cube. The free conversions at https://ireelz.com/luts/free are authored for specific cameras, so use those if you shoot one of them.
