I-Log is Insta360’s log profile: 10-bit on the X6 and Luna series, 8-bit on the Ace Pro 2 and X5. It buys real latitude on cameras with small sensors, which is precisely where you need it.
Insta360 X6 — 10-bit I-Log
Each camera records its own I-Log: Insta360 publishes a separate I-Log to Rec.709 LUT for each, and they are three different curves — one for the X6 and Luna series, one for the Ace Pro 2, one for the X5. Our decodes are fitted to those files: exposure and tone are matched to Insta360’s conversion; colour is close but not identical, and stays neutral. Pick the one for your camera. Beyond the decode, what matters is what you do afterwards: the sky is in nearly every 360 frame, so highlight rolloff is the first job, and footage gets cropped hard when it is reframed, so lifted shadows turn into visible noise fast.
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.
Shooting I-Log in HDR or Dolby Vision mode. The decode assumes an SDR I-Log recording; in HDR the numbers mean something else and the conversion lands wrong.
Shot I-Log on the X6 and it looks grey and lifeless? These seven LUTs bake the I-Log → Rec.709 conversion and a finished grade into a single .cube file, so one node or one adjustment layer takes you from flat to graded.
Insta360 X6 → True North is free.
The free conversion gets the footage right; the pro packs add the finished looks on top, with the same I-Log decode in every file. Each is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
Because it has not been decoded yet. I-Log 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 I-Log as your footage type before you download and the I-Log → 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.
Insta360 X6 — 10-bit I-Log. If your camera records I-Log, these conversions apply to it.
Yes — True North is free and is exactly this conversion, at full strength with no watermark. The phone, DJI and Insta360 packs each give their conversion away; they are collected at https://ireelz.com/luts/free.
Four are free, one per camera: True North for the X6, and First Light for the Luna, the Ace Pro 2 and the X5, each with that camera’s own decode. All four are the full I-Log → Rec.709 conversion at full strength with no watermark, downloadable from /luts/free.
Graded footage still gets claimed for its soundtrack. Original music with a licence in your name — start with the free tracks.
