- Download `.cube` or `.csp` from the export page.
- Open Project Settings → Color Management or LUT panel.
- Refresh LUT list after adding files.
- Create a node grade and apply the LUT.
Best check
Use one frame for validation before applying across full timeline to avoid unexpected global shifts.
