Instagram filters for video

Posted on February 11, 2012 by Brent Pierce

Everyone loves the Instagram app for their phones. It’s a cool way to create vintage/retro photos with a tap of the finger. Seriously, people go nuts over these type of filters. A while back, Daniel Box, created Photoshop actions of these filters. They’re awesome. Just a click of the mouse, and you’ve “Instagrammed” your photo in Photoshop.

I wanted a way to use these in applications like After Effects or Final Cut Pro. An easy way to achieve a simple color change is by using Look-Up-Tables (LUTs). I’m not gonna dive too deep into what exactly a LUT is, but basically, it communicates color changes from different applications. Aharon Rabinowitz posted a tutorial video about using Red Giant Software’s LUT Buddy, a free application by RGS to create and apply LUTs. It’s pretty helpful in introducing someone to what a LUT is, and how they work.

I took Daniel Box’s Instagram Photoshop actions, and made them into LUTs and presets to use with video. They work wonderfully. Keep in mind. LUTs are a bit limited in their functionality; they cannot apply things that use masks or generators, such as vignettes, diffusion, blurs, etc. But they are still awesome. If you are looking for more vintage presets for After Effects with more features and control, check out my Vintage FX presets.

How to use these presets.

For FCP7, Motion, and Premiere CS5
1. Download and install LUT Buddy from Red Giant Software. It’s free.
2. Apply the effect “LUT Buddy” to your footage, click Options, then Import LUT, then choose which effect you would like.

For After Effects
Download and install LUT Buddy from Red Giant Software. (If you have CS5 or CS6, skip this step. You don’t need LUT Buddy)
Copy the corresponding “Instagram” presets folder into your application presets folder. (Applications/Adobe After Effects/Presets)
There are 2 different AE presets folders. One is for CS3-CS4, and the other is for CS5-CS6.

For Dacinci Resolve
Place the LUT files in library/application support/blackmagic design/davinci resolve/LUT/CineSpace

Thanks man!

Thanks a lot. I’ve made this video with your filters https://vimeo.com/36650386. So thanks a lot!

  Looks really great, dude! Nice editing, goes superb with the filter!

am i able to use the normal presets without the red giant software with adobe after effects?
lovely greetings
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  no, you have to have Red Giant Software’s LUT Buddy.
  Unless you have CS5+.CS5 has a built in effect, called “Apply Color LUT.”

Thank you for share!! great!

You are awesome!

can you use these in Final Cut Pro X? Thanks!
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Negative. I’ve tried everything I know to get these to work in FCPX. If you have Motion, send it to Motion. It will work in Motion.
  - http://twitter.com/aboutaboyo Alex Houghton
    
    I do have motion. Thanks!
Erick_ok_xq

Is only for Mac right? I have Windows men
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I think it should work with a Windows machine. I could be wrong though. Try installing LUT Buddy for After Effects.

hi thanks for this, however when i try importing the LUT to Premiere cs5.5 ( via LIT Buddy) doesn’t have any effect. i tried Draw Pattern , 3D 64, and apply LUT but no luck. Any clues?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I’ve had trouble using these with Premiere Pro, as well. I think it may just be a glitch. Try reapplying it a few times and see if it eventually works.
- http://twitter.com/InvisionModz InvisionModz
  
  ive found the way to do it for CS5.5 for Premiere Pro. Hope this helps everyone! You have to move the Luts Buddy plug-in. For Mac OS X Lion:
  The location of the plugins folder is at /Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins, drag the MediaCore folder from CS5 to CS5.5 then restart Premiere and it should work.
  
  it was missplaced in a folder called CS5…this is for all CS5.5 users
  
  For Windows users its in:
  
  ProgramFiles/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS5/MediaCore/MagicBulletLut Buddy
  
  Just do the same thing for both, drag the MagicBulletLut Buddy file from CS5 to CS5.5 folder..Restart Premiere Pro and then it should be under Magic Bullet Colorista in the effect tabs next to the timeline!
  
  Hope that helps!
Nick

So I just downloaded LUT buddy and thought it was pretty straightforward to get these guys working…

I loaded and applied one, looked great, and then went to export my
sequence and it spat out the video like the LUT wasn’t applied. Then I
opened the project up again and now LUT Buddy says there is no LUT
applied (???)

It all LOOKS like they’re applied in the timeline but when I export, the LUT disappears!

Am I doing something wrong?

screen caps:

Before export (shows LUT loaded) http://www.flickr.com/photos/44325995@N04/6837203610/

exported video (that magically doesn’t have LUT) http://www.flickr.com/photos/44325995@N04/6837203810/

project file opened after export (not showing LUT applied but visually showing it applied to clip) http://www.flickr.com/photos/44325995@N04/6983326683/
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  What program are you using?
  - Nick
    
    thanks – will give er a shot!
    
    I did find a workaround by doin the whole dynamic link with AE too… and applied the LUTs there
    
    (which look rad by the way. totally dig em)
    - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
      
      Thanks man. Sorry they’re giving you trouble.
    - Nick
      
      hmmm ya no goes. even with a fresh new project file I get the same results… guess I’ll try to work through AE
- http://twitter.com/brandonconn Brandon Conn
  
  Did you ever find a way to get this to work? I’m having the same issue.
  - Nick
    
    nope. I’ve given in to just linking/importing into AE and applying the LUT filter there in situations where I can make that work
  - Nick
    
    my understanding is the Premiere isn’t supposed to handle LUTs anyways – but that’s only based off some quick research
http://twitter.com/InvisionModz InvisionModz

is there any way possible to make this work for CS5.5? sadly ive upgraded to CS5.5 a few months back..i’m also running MAC OS X Lion and have both Premiere Pro CS5.5 and After Effects CS5.5 but LUTs doesn’t work for that version and i would love to use this effect on some of my videos…Please help! Thanks in advance!
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  There should be an effect in After Effects CS 5.5 called “Apply color LUT.” Use that effect.
  Let me know if that works.
  - http://twitter.com/InvisionModz InvisionModz
    
    YES! thank you so much! but i have another question, is it possible to do this in Premiere Pro CS5.5 as well or is AE 5.5 the only way?
    - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
      
      In Premiere, you have to use LUT Buddy. There is not a pre-built in effect like there is for AE CS5.
      
      But, as you’ll see above in the comments before, there are some issues with LUT Buddy in Premiere.
      - http://twitter.com/InvisionModz InvisionModz
        
        thank you for the quick replies! unfortunately LUTs is only for CS5 and not CS5.5 so it doesn’t load correctly, if there is any updates for CS5.5 for premiere pro please let me know! Thank you!

Girosebud1

can these be used with Final Cut X?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  No, I’m sorry. FCPX does not support LUTs. If you have Motion, you can use LUT Buddy with Motion and apply these LUTs.
  - Hope
    
    How do you get the luts into motion?
    - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
      
      You have to install “LUT Buddy” for Motion. When you go through the install process, you’ll select Motion.
      - Hope
        
        I did that and followed the instructions. I opened motion and cant seem to find the effects. any suggestions
      - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
        
        It’s in the “Library” window, on the top left of your screen.
        
        Go into the “filters” folder, then “Magic Bullet Colorista,” then you’ll see “LUT Buddy” in the window below.
        
        Drag that to your footage. Then, with your footage selected, you’ll go into the “Inspector” window and you will see the “LUT Buddy” effect. Click on Options and choose your desired LUT.
        
        Hope that helps.
      - Hope
        
        is it compatible with motion 5
http://twitter.com/theSkyWhale Jake Robinson

I would love to know of a way to change the opacity of the “LUT Buddy” filter in premiere
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this.
  
  But, you could copy the original clip UNDER the Instagram clip. Then lower the opacity of the entire Instagram clip.
  So, you’ll have 2 layers of video. The top one has Instagram applied, and the bottom one has no effect. You then lower the opacity of the Instagram clip.
  
  It’s not perfect, but it will work.
kj

thanks a lot! these rock! i’m going to use them for a ‘it’s spring’ fun video i am making
angry

Why do none of these sites explain how to get this program into final cut? Magic Bullet does not just magically install into my filters, so please explain how to do that.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Just download and install the program. http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-lut-buddy/
  Once you open the downloaded file, it should walk you through the install process. Let me know if you need more help.

Does someone work with these filters in Motion5? i tried everything, but they do not appear in the ‘filters’ folder. any suggestions? thanks anyway!
kraiccek

If you are like me, that have AE CS6 and this doesn’t work for you this is the solution.
For NASHVILLE:
Go to: Effect > Color correction > Levels
then in the left panel change the “RGB” to Blue. Then in Output level write 125.

Then go to New > Layer > Solid and will appear a window. In the section of color click on the color selection and then type in this code:
f6ddad

Make sure to set the blending mode of this layer in “Multiply”

And this is it! All i do was investigate how to make these filters in PHOTOSHOP and then repeat the process in after effects.

Have fun!!
Lukehainesingram

thanks so much man! you’re a true legend
http://twitter.com/Eddykins Eddy

I have After Effects CS6 but LUT-Buddy is only updated upto CS5.5 so I can’t install it.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  You don’t need LUT Buddy for AE CS6. When you download the files, there is a folder called “CS6.” You’ll drag that folder into your presets folder.
Shawn

Great filters! To all people having problems with Premiere CS5. Here is the solution: http://youtu.be/bo2_hAZpJV0?t=2m7s

How does it work in motion? and in Final Cut pro X ?
Jude_gruger

If i do “import lut” , it works, but when I just put the instagram filter, it says

“This favorite contains 12 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (“Apply Color LUT”) ”

How do i just apply them like the video?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Make sure you are draggin the correct folder.
Casey

Has there been an update to the photoshop actions zip. download recently? When I unzip the folder I get an .atn file and not the listed presets as it shows in the video. Am I doing something wrong?

  Are you talking about the PS actions from Daniel Box? Or these presets?
Jocelyn A

Hi, thanks for this awesome tutorial. I’m having an issue though. I’m running a trial version of After Effects CS4 and downloaded the LUT Buddy and the Instagram presets. I put them in the folder just like you said, but I’m receiving an error message when I try to apply them. It says:

“This favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (LUT Buddy).”Is there something I need to do with the LUT files that come with the Instagram ones? I may have missed this.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  You’re doing it right. “LUT Buddy” didn’t install correctly. Try installing it again.
Tauteur

GREAT creation.. Will download soon! Question, what about the brightness contrast button at the bottom left of the instagram screen? Is that function available? If not, it needs to be. It is the best function!

Quick question. All my filters give the exact same result?? Anyone else have this problem?? Using CS6
- Jonnie
  
  I had this problem.
  
  Try installing LUT Buddy even though you apparently don’t need it for CS6. I did this and the filters now work fine – I’m not sure if it was just a coincidence, but give it a try!
Julian Duke

Dude! First than all, this is huge! thaaanks! Now, I’m trying to add the LUT Buddy Filter (I have Premiere Pro CS5 and Mac) but when i do it my premiere fails and quits unexpectedly…what could it be? I’ve tried and tried…i have just 4GB of ram…maybe is that?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I doubt it’s a RAM issue. Maybe try reinstalling LUT Buddy. If the problem still persists, try clearing your Premiere Pro preferences by deleting everything this folder: /Users//Library/Preferences/Adobe/Premiere Pro Then restart PP. Let me know if that helps.
Melisa De Carlo

does it work n cs3 ?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Yes, in After Effects CS3.

Thanks so very very much! I always struggle to find good filters and love the instagram looks. I can’t thank you enough for your generosity!

Thanx
I hav a problem.. whenever i try to apply effect it says
“”This favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (“Apply Color LUT”) “”

so where can i get this Apply Color LUT effect??
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Try installing “Magic Bullet LUT Buddy” and using the effects with that instead.
  - Paul
    
    I have got Magic Bullet LUT Buddy installed with After Effects CS5 and I get the same error message.
    - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
      
      Apply the effect “Magic Bullet LUT Buddy” to your layer. Then, in the effects window, go to “options” and “import LUT”. Then choose the desired LUT file that was downloaded.

- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  You don’t need the Magic Bullet suite for this to work. Just the free LUT Buddy software, but, LUT Buddy does not work with PP6. You’ll have to go through After Effects.

  “Apply Color LUT” is an effect that comes preinstalled with AE CS6. It seems that your install did not include this effect for some reason. Maybe try reinstalling?

- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  In CS6, use the other folder that you downloaded. There is a folder called “AE CS5-CS6.” Use the ffx presets in the folder.
Anna Hoffman

Hi, Brent thank you for making this filters, I love Instagram and I love vintage/retro effects on video so this is awesome! I am also using After Effects CS 6. I received the “This favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (“LUT Buddy”) I also tried installing the LUT Buddy software but since there is no option for CS 6, is that why its not working? I would love to use the filters so I hope there is a work around! Thank you!
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  If you have CS6, you don’t need “LUT Buddy.” Just use the presets that are in the “AE CS5-CS6″ folder that you downloaded.
Barbararebolledo

hi, I just downloaded the folfer, but there is no CS6 folder in there. There is only one calles AE presents and inside one called Instagram. Can you upload the CS6 presets again?

How do I get these to work on premiere CS6 ?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Unfortunately, LUT Buddy does not yet work in CS6. There is a workaround though.
  
  You could dynamically link it in After Effects. Or, you could force the install of LUT Buddy in CS6. Install LUT Buddy for CS5, and move the plugin to the PP CS6 media core folder called the “common” folder.
  - http://twitter.com/sebastianlevin Sebastian Levin Z
    
    What is the name od the plugin? i cant find it… i install for CS5 but then i dont know where is the plugin i have to move to the folder “common”

    I don’t know what you mean by plugin. After I install the program all I find on my system is a file with misc images and other files contained within. Can you tell me which one I need to move.

Hi there do your vintage fx presets work with FCP 7 OSX.5 ?

Thanks
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I am going to release them as LUT’s soon. So they’ll work in programs that can use LUT’s, like FCP7. Watch Twitter and I’ll announce it when they’re released.
  Thanks

No download after clicking your social links, what a scumbag.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  No need for the hostility.
  
  Some people’s browsers may not allow cookies, so the download won’t work automatically. I usually the files to people manually if it gives them trouble. But, I guess since perceived I’m a scumbag, sorry.

  Dude, if you read the comments below, you would realize that for some people it doesn’t always work and that Brent is willing to send people the stuff manually if you email him.
  That doesn’t sound like a scumbag to me. A scumbag to me sounds like someone who jumps to conclusions too quickly and complains about free stuff.

Hi everyone – I’m having a bit of trouble loading the filters – whenever I try to use it, a message pops up saying that there is 1 effect missing “Apply Colour LUT”, and then takes me to search my computer for the file…is anyone else having this problem?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  What version of After Effects are you using?
  - Alex
    
    CS5
    - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
      
      You might have to use Magic Bullet LUT Buddy. Install it and use the other filters from the CS3-CS4 folder.
      Let me know if that works.

Krissicook

So I’ve used these in AE and now it’s saying: This favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (“LUT Buddy”) I even installed the LUT but I thought you didn’t need it for CS6 after effects. Any help? All my instagram .ffx files are in the applications/adobeaftereffectscs6/Presets folder.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I think you drug the wrong folder into your presets folder. There is a folder that you downloaded called “AE CS5-CS6″. Drag the folder inside of that folder called “Instagram.” Let me know if it works after that.
  
  Thanks
  - Krissicook
    
    Great, thanks! I must have dragged in the wrong one…I don’t know why it dissappeared in the first place, but either way, thanks a lot! If you ever have a way to do this right in Premiere CS6 let me know. Thanks a ton!

Jeanno

Hi, it’s impossible for my AE 5 to find the plug in.. Or the plug in is not good ?
- Jeanno
  
  The plug “Apply Color Lut” is in my effect.. But “The favori conten’t 1 element with absent effect. You must install “Apply color Lust” … ?
  - http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
    
    Try installing LUT Buddy for CS5 and use the Instagram presets that are in the CS3-CS4 folder. That might work.
    
    I don’t know why, but some installs of After Effects CS5 don’t have the effect “Apply color LUT”.
Ashto Handoyo

Hi, Brent
I’ve install LUT Buddy and copy instagram to the preset folder. it showed in Effect & Preset, but when i use it, i got error :
“after effect error: this file was created with a newer version of after effects — time to upgrade your application”
can you help me? or anyone have same issue?
Thanks,
Ashto
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Hey Ashto, for CS3, you have to install “LUT Buddy” and apply the effect “LUT Buddy” to your footage. Then go click option in the effect and import LUT.
Ashto Handoyo

I’m using After Effect CS3
Krissi

So you can use these in Premiere CS6 too, which is awesome because
sometimes I don’t need to go into After Effects. Here’s how: Download
CS5 LUT Buddy, like they said, then find it in Library-Application
Support-Adobe-Common-Plug-ins-CS5-MediaCore. Copy plugin and add to
Media Core folder in the CS6 Folder. Then once you have downloaded the
LUT’s put in place you can remember. I put mine in Adobe Premiere CS6
Application folder. Open Premiere. Apply LUT Buddy to clip from
Effects Tab. In Effect Control click on the little square with lines on
it. Import LUT. Find where you put your LUT’s and then just click on
one, and click ok. It will add the effect to your clip. Better yet,
you can save it as a preset. Can save all as a preset. Also, can make
an adjustment layer and add the effect to that, and change opacity.
Sweet!!!
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Nice.
  
  But be warned: every time I made a preset with LUT Buddy, it didn’t save after I closed Premiere Pro. Might just be me. That’s why I don’t offer these as downloadable PP presets.
  
  Thanks for the info Krissi!
  - Krissi
    
    Haha, yeah, I just noticed that after I did all that work.

Hello, thanks for the link, I downloaded the effects, then I copied the folder in the “ae presets” folder but when I try to use an effect on the program tells me that the effect is not installed, how can I do?

hey i tried using these in after effects cs6 . but somehow when i export it, it keeps flickering very quickly between different filters. I’ve deleted and applied all the filters from scratch and also created a new project but nothing seems to work. Anyone know a reason for this?
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  I think it’s just a glitch with your export settings. Have you tried different export settings?
  
  Also, maybe try a different method of applying the effects. Try adding the effect to an adjustment layer instead of just the footage layer itself.
  
  Hope that helps.
  
  Thanks!
Jenny

I downloaded the filters and the LUT buddy, put the filters in the presets file and set the LUT buddy to work with After Effects CS5, but whenever I choose one of the filters it says: “This favorite contains 1 reference to a missing effect. Please install the following effect to restore this reference. (“Apply Color LUT”)”.
What should I do?
Thanks.
- http://www.cineblur.com Brent Pierce
  
  Hey Jenny, that means that the effects you’re trying to use are actually for CS5 & CS6. For some reason, “Apply Color LUT” is not installed in the application.
  
  Try applying the effect manually. Apply the effect “LUT Buddy” and then import the LUT in the effects window. The LUT’s are in the downloaded folder called “LUTs”.
  
  Hope that helps.
  
  Thanks!
