3D LUT Validator & Diagnostic Tool

Ensure your 3D .cube LUT will import cleanly into your Sony FX3, FX30, A7C II, A7CR, A1 II, or ZV-E1 camera. Our analyzer verifies syntax, dimensions, mathematical limits, and checks for destructive color banding.

Upload .CUBE LUT to Inspect

What This Validator Checks
  • Header syntax: TITLE, DOMAIN_MIN, DOMAIN_MAX, LUT_3D_SIZE
  • Dimensions: 33³ or 17³ for Sony camera compatibility
  • Data bounds: Clamping of negative (<0) and blown (>1) values
  • Gradient continuity: Detects color banding / posterization
  • File row count validation vs expected cube grid size
Upload a .cube file on the left to inspect its parameters, integrity, and Sony camera compatibility.

Guide

How to use LUT Validator

Best for: Videographers and filmmakers loading LUTs onto Sony cameras.

  1. 1Upload or drop any .cube file into the validator.
  2. 2Inspect the scorecard for dimension check, NaN check, and banding delta.
  3. 3View the 3D RGB lattice slice preview.
  4. 4If errors are detected, use the 1-click button to fix and convert it.

Tips

  • High banding delta (> 1.2) indicates steep color transitions that may cause visible banding on 8-bit footage.

FAQ

What causes Sony cameras to reject a LUT?

Common causes: 1D format instead of 3D, grid size larger than 33x33x33, missing header lines, or negative numbers.
