Turn greens into cinema.
Designed on real Bali footage and tested across Europe, Teal Forest adds a rich cyan–teal bias to foliage and shadows while preserving clean, natural skin. It’s the look I reach for when I want coastal blues and jungle greens to feel premium and intentional—without the plastic, over-processed vibe.

Apply on a timeline node or final node; adjust Key Output to taste.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Lumetri Color → Creative → Look: Browse… and load the .cube.

For LOG footage, first use Basic Correction → Input LUT (LOG→709), then add Teal Forest in Creative.

Tweak Intensity (60–90%), add a slight Temp/Tint if needed.

Final Cut Pro

Add Custom LUT effect to an adjustment layer.

Load the .cube and choose Rec.709 input.

For LOG, apply your Camera LUT (LOG→709) first; then Teal Forest.

Grading tips

Set white balance first, then apply the LUT.

Dial the LUT intensity—it doesn’t have to be 100%.

Add a gentle S-curve and a light vignette for depth.

For skin, use a secondary (HSL qualifier) to keep tones natural.

Not allowed: redistributing, reselling, or including the LUT in another pack.

FAQ

Will this work on mobile apps?
Yes, any app that supports .cube LUTs (e.g., LumaFusion, VN on desktop). Some mobile apps need you to import it into a desktop NLE first.

My image gets too contrasty.
Lower LUT intensity to 50–80% and reduce contrast. Ensure you’re in Rec.709 (convert LOG first).

Does it work for portraits?
Yes—Teal Forest is skin-safe. For close-ups, consider a subtle skin isolation to keep tones perfect.
