Auto color correction
for log footage.
White balance, exposure, and a clean Rec.709 starting point, applied to a whole wedding's worth of footage automatically and matched across cameras. The creative grade stays yours. Locally, on your machine. Nothing uploads, nothing trains on your work.
Real output from the Basecut pipeline. Drag the handle.
No card, no account. Correct and match your whole shoot free; pay only when you export.
The Windows installer is code-signed (verified publisher: Jonathan Wiltshire). SmartScreen may show a first-time notice while the new certificate builds reputation; click More info, then Run anyway. Verify any download against the SHA-256 at basecut.app/version.json.
Log to graded, automatically. Cut by @sotoxvisuals, Basecut beta tester.
One card dump in. A corrected, matched shoot out.
Drop your shoot in
Point Basecut at a folder of log footage. It detects the camera and log profile per clip: S-Log3, C-Log, V-Log, F-Log, D-Log, Apple Log and more.
It corrects every clip
Log to Rec.709, then a closed-loop pass that measures, corrects, and verifies white balance and exposure per clip, expands the flat range, and matches color across all your cameras.
Add a look, ship it
Drop a graded look on the whole run (or import your own LUT), then export LUTs, baked video, or hand the grade straight to DaVinci Resolve.

Fair questions.
Is it really local?
Yes. The color pipeline runs entirely on your machine: nothing uploads, nothing trains on your footage. The AI analysis runs on your computer too with Argus, Basecut's own AI (an Apple Silicon Mac with 16 GB or more, or Windows with an NVIDIA GPU with 10 GB or more of video memory). Basecut Cloud and your own Gemini key are optional alternatives that send reduced-size clips to Google's Gemini API.
What cameras and formats?
ProRes (including ARRI ALEXA ProRes), ProRes RAW, and BRAW on Mac, plus standard mp4/mov/mxf from Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Panasonic, DJI, GoPro, Insta360, and iPhone. Sixteen log profiles are auto-detected. Native ARRIRAW and REDCODE R3D aren't supported yet.
What's free, exactly?
Everything except output. Import any size shoot, run the full correction, preview with scopes, grade with looks: all free for 14 days with 5 free exports, no card. You pay only when you keep exporting.
Does it replace my grade?
No. It does the correction a colorist does before the creative work: white balance, exposure, range, cross-camera match. The look on top is optional and adjustable, and everything is inspectable and reversible. Your creative grade stays yours.
Does it work with DaVinci Resolve?
Yes. The Basecut Grade OFX plugin applies your per-clip grades live on the Resolve color page (works in free Resolve), and with Resolve Studio, one click builds a full graded project: bins, timelines, grades applied. ALE and FCPXML exports cover any other NLE.
Do I need an Apple Log LUT in Final Cut Pro?
No. Final Cut Pro has an Apple Log Camera LUT built in, so there is no file to download. Set the library's color processing to Wide Gamut HDR and check the clip's Camera LUT reads Apple Log. Basecut detects Apple Log too, and its corrected, matched baseline is built for DaVinci Resolve; for Final Cut it exports FCPXML with your culled, rated, organized clips.
Do I need an Apple Log LUT in Premiere Pro?
Usually not. Premiere Pro can auto-detect iPhone Apple Log and color manage it: turn on the auto-detect log setting in the Lumetri Color panel's Settings tab and check the clip reads as Apple Log. Basecut exports Premiere Pro XML and ALE with your culled, rated, organized clips; its automated color correction is built around DaVinci Resolve.
Which cameras does the log-to-Rec.709 correction cover?
Basecut auto-detects Apple Log, Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log2 and C-Log3, Fujifilm F-Log and F-Log2, Panasonic V-Log, DJI D-Log, GoPro Protune, Insta360 I-Log, ARRI LogC3 and LogC4, RED Log3G10, and Blackmagic Film Gen5, and you can override the profile by hand.
