“I can’t promise this will work for you, but many people have had luck using this LUT I made for youtube.

64 cube iridas lut for burning in darker 16-235 from 0-255 for youtube upload. it darkens image, then youtube re-lightens again.

The trouble with the ‘fixmyyoutube’ lut is that it blows out whites and crushes blacks, leading to quite a loss in detail. And no, the detail doesn’t return when Youtube re-lightens it..

Here’s a few examples.. first image is before, second is after..

Just look at that ferris wheel!

And thought this screengrab from a boring 2D animated commercial was a very good example! The grey almost disappears.

It is frustrating as i really want all footage to look the best it can on Youtube, but when compared to the original it always looks washed out. Hopefully there’s a way round preserving the detail with this method.
