 # LUT Robot
 
-**Advanced LUT Management for Final Cut Pro.**
+**Automatically apply Camera LUTs with matching filenames.**
 
-Unlike Final Cut Pro's built-in Custom LUT and Camera LUT tools, **LUT Robot** allows you to "link" to a LUT stored in any folder.
+![](/static/lut-robot.png)
 
-It also allows you to apply LUTs in bulk to clips - for example, if you have a unique LUT for each of your rushes files.
+When working on big long-form projects, such as feature films and television shows, DITs on-set create unique Camera LUTs for each shot.
 
-LUT Robot is currently in active development. We hope to release a beta on FxFactory towards the end of January 2024.
+For example, the production might be shooting on an ARRI Alexa and when they hand over the rushes, they also hand over LUTs for each camera file.
+
+LUT Robot automatically applies Camera LUTs with matching filenames, saving hours of work for Assistant Editors, who until now, had to manually set the Camera LUT for each clip.
+
+You can select a specific sub-folder within your Camera LUTs folder to scan.
+
+This is a simple niche app, that saves high-end professional assistant editors using Final Cut Pro hours of time.

 # How To Use
 
-**LUT Robot** is currently in a **private beta testing phase**.
+When you first run LUT Robot from the Mac App Store you'll be presented with this:
 
-We are actively developing it based on [user feedback](https://github.com/latenitefilms/lutrobot/issues).
+![](/static/install.png)
 
-We'll post more here when it's ready.
+Clicking **Launch Final Cut Pro** will launch Final Cut Pro and close the LUT Robot application.
+
+You can now access LUT Robot from the Workflow Extension button in Final Cut Pro:
+
+![](/static/toolbar.png)
+
+You can also access it from the Workflow Extension menubar:
+
+![](/static/menubar.png)
+
+The first time you open the LUT Robot Workflow Extension you'll be presented with the below alert, explaining that LUT Robot needs permission to access your Camera LUTs folder:
+
+![](/static/permission-required.png)
+
+Click **OK**, and then click **Grant Permission** in the next window:
+
+![](/static/permission-required-02.png)
+
+You'll then be presented with the main user interface:
+
+![](/static/lut-robot.png)
+
+First, select the **Search Folder** you want to search.
+
+It works recursively, so if you select **Camera LUTs** it will search every sub-folder for a match.
+
+Once you have a Search Folder selected, simply drag the **Event** you want to process from the Final Cut Pro Browser to the Drop Zone.
+
+The drag zone at the bottom of the user interface will turn from grey to blue:
+
+![](/static/after-drag.png)
+
+You can now drag this from the Workflow Extension to your Final Cut Pro **Library**.
+
+This will create a new temporary event, which you can delete straight away, as **Camera LUTs** apply globally - so the updated Camera LUT in the new event, also affect the same source clips in the existing event.
+
+For example, if you had a clip in your Event with the filename of `A002_01281732_C001.mov`, if there was a matching `A002_01281732_C001.cube` file in the **Search Folder** you selected (or a subfolder of that folder), then LUT Robot will apply this LUT as a Camera LUT.
