LUTs for the DJI Air 3
Updated
Quick answer
Yes. Drone LUTs work with DJI Air 3 footage. On Normal footage, apply a look directly. On D-Log M footage, first convert to Rec.709 with DJI's free D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for the Air 3 (Downloads section of its page on dji.com), then add the look on top.

How to grade DJI Air 3 footage
Shoot: Normal for a finished look out of the drone, or D-Log M for the most dynamic range.
Convert (D-Log M only): apply DJI's free D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for the Air 3 (Downloads section of its page on dji.com) as the first step, or let your editor's colour management do it. Skip this for Normal 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)

Questions
Do Drone LUTs work with the DJI Air 3?
Yes. Drone LUTs work with DJI Air 3 footage. On Normal footage, apply a look directly. On D-Log M footage, first convert to Rec.709 with DJI's free D-Log M to Rec.709 LUT for the Air 3 (Downloads section of its page on dji.com), then add the look on top.
Which colour profile should I use on the DJI Air 3?
On the Air 3, use D-Log M when the scene has bright skies and deep shadows (sunrise, sunset, snow, cities at night) and you plan to grade: it keeps the most detail. Use Normal when you want a finished clip quickly or edit in an app that cannot load LUTs. Drone LUTs work on both; D-Log M just needs the conversion step first. Avoid HLG if you are grading for normal (SDR) screens.
Do the Lightroom presets work with DJI Air 3 photos?
Yes. The presets work on DJI Air 3 JPEG and RAW (DNG) photos in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop and Lightroom mobile. RAW gives you the most room to adjust.
Which editing apps can I use?
Any app that loads .cube LUTs, including DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut on desktop, LumaFusion and VN, plus Lightroom for photos.
