What it does
A ref pack for color finishing. The creative looks are baked by varg from documented ffmpeg filter chains (haldclutsrc → curves / colorbalance / eq → Hald CLUT → .cube), so they are original and carry a license record per file; technical transforms point to the BSD-3-Clause ACES OpenColorIO config, and camera-vendor conversion LUTs stay link-only. Draft until the five starter looks are baked, hashed (sha256) and hosted on s3.varg.ai.
Use when
- A grade needs a LUT file rather than prompt words
- Applying one look across clips from several models
Not for
- Redistributing camera-vendor or paid LUTs
- LUT packs whose license or provenance is unclear

Example output
https://skills.varg.ai/previews/craft-lut-pack.mp4 — Split screen, no model run: left the untouched film, right the varg-baked print-film v1 .cube at 100% (ffmpeg lut3d, tetrahedral). The LUT is original: haldclutsrc=level=8 -> curves (lifted blacks 0->0.10, highlights rolled to 0.91, warm red/blue mids) -> colorbalance (teal-leaning shadows, warm mids and highlights) -> eq=saturation=0.8 -> Hald CLUT -> 64^3 .cube (sha256 9f7725eb...).
