Mimic – Make Your Footage Look Like the Film You Love

$49.95 USD – one price, yours to keep. License covers 2 machines, activated with your key.

Here is your footage on one side of the window. Here is the film you want it to look like on the other side. Press the big button – Make Mine Look Like That – watch the result play in the PREVIEW, and if you like it, Save My LUT. That’s the whole workflow. No node graph, no color-science degree, no subscription.

Mimic doesn’t just slap the reference film’s LUT onto your footage. It watches the whole reference – sampling frames across the full run – measures your footage the same way, and builds an original LUT matched to your material, in both directions: your footage to the film, or the film’s world to yours.

What it reads

  • Real production files: ProRes 422 and 4444, DNxHR, H.264 / H.265, FFV1, AV1 – 8, 10 and 12-bit sources, any of the 4K variations, any aspect ratio.
  • Short plates and elements are fine – even sub-second clips sample properly.
  • Frame folders: PNG and JPEG, 16-bit PNG and TIFF, DPX, EXR, WebP and JPEG 2000.
  • Everything is processed on your own computer. Your footage never leaves your machine.

Controls that stay out of your way

  • Sampling: Auto, Quick 40, Standard 75, Deep 200, or Custom (25-400 frames) – more frames for long films, fewer for a fast pass.
  • Finish-it sliders: Softer/Stronger, Cooler/Warmer, Less/More Faded – composed into the LUT you save.
  • Scopes, built in: waveform (RGB parade), histogram and vectorscope float over the preview while it plays, so you can judge with instruments, not just eyeballs.

  • Reset button: a bad file or a stuck job never means restarting the app.
  • Check for updates built in – Mimic tells you when a new version is ready.

What you get

A standard .cube LUT that loads anywhere LUTs load – DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, LightWave (through the Sensor / HyperLook), and more – plus a recipe file recording how the look was built. Every LUT carries its creator stamp from your license automatically.

Your LUTs are yours: use them in your own projects, including commercial work, with no royalties. Building LUT packs for resale is the one thing the license reserves to Liberty3D – see the EULA in the installer.

Good to know, honestly

  • Windows PC. Activation needs an internet connection once; after that Mimic works fully offline.
  • The installer is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen will ask once – “More info”, then “Run anyway”. The install guide walks you through it.
  • Mimic works in SDR / display-referred space. HDR clips (PQ / HLG) will load, but there is no HDR tone mapping in this version.
  • ProRes RAW is not supported – no third-party decoder for it exists. Every regular ProRes flavor is fine, no Apple software needed on your PC.
