LOL just yesterday I couldn't hold it back anymore and posted a negative comment about FilmConvert
Just because Philip Bloom seems to like it, people started applying it everywhere. With all due respect to Mr Bloom, I effing hate the look, it dilutes and undermines the footage so much aesthetically with very little advantage. It looks utterly fake as a vintage attempt, IMHO. Anyway...

LUT: on ho, you don't want to do it in NLE or compositor if you can avoid it! With CineformRAW, you can apply LUT as metadata - sort of attach it to the file programmatically. Then, when you open such file in AE or PPro, the LUT is already applied without any processing or rendering.
RAW 2 CF RAW does let you apply a LUT at the time of conversion. (Of course you can change that LUT metadata later with Cineform tools like FirstLight etc.)
