LUTs for the DJI Air 3S
Updated
Quick answer
Yes. Drone LUTs work with DJI Air 3S 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 3S (Downloads section of its page on dji.com), then add the look on top.

- Video
- 4K up to 120fps on both cameras, 10-bit in D-Log M and HLG
- Sensor
- 1-inch 50 MP wide camera + 1/1.3-inch 48 MP 70 mm tele camera
- Photos
- JPEG and RAW (DNG)
The Air 3S has two cameras. Shoot both in the same profile and use the same look across them so wide and tele shots match in the edit.
How to grade DJI Air 3S 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 3S (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 3S?
Yes. Drone LUTs work with DJI Air 3S 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 3S (Downloads section of its page on dji.com), then add the look on top.
Which colour profile should I use on the DJI Air 3S?
On the Air 3S, 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 3S photos?
Yes. The presets work on DJI Air 3S 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.
