LUTs for the GoPro HERO12 Black
Updated

Quick answer
Yes. Drone LUTs work with GoPro HERO12 Black footage. On Natural or Vibrant footage, apply a look directly. On GP-Log footage, first convert to Rec.709 with GoPro's free GP-Log LUT for your firmware version (on GoPro's "10-Bit Log Encoding" support page), then add the look on top.

How to grade GoPro HERO12 Black footage
Shoot: Natural or Vibrant for a finished look out of the camera, or GP-Log for the most dynamic range.
Convert (GP-Log only): apply GoPro's free GP-Log LUT for your firmware version (on GoPro's "10-Bit Log Encoding" support page) as the first step, or let your editor's colour management do it. Skip this for Natural or Vibrant footage.
Correct: set exposure and white balance.
Add a look: apply a Drone LUTs look after the conversion and set the strength to taste (60–100%).
Where each LUT goes in your editor: DaVinci Resolve · Premiere Pro · Final Cut Pro · CapCut · LumaFusion · Lightroom (desktop & mobile)
