What are styles?

Styles are like artistic filters that shape the look of your AI-generated image or video. Think of them as your creative shortcut. You bring the idea, and the style helps keep everything looking polished and consistent.

Every great image or video starts with a vision, and the right style brings that vision to life. With 20 expertly curated styles, you have the power to shape the look and feel of your AI-generated images and videos. Whether you want something bold and cinematic, soft and dreamy, hyper-realistic, or artistically abstract, there’s a style for every creative idea.

The Artlist team carefully curated these styles after extensive research so that they truly work for video creators. We collaborated with filmmakers, content creators, and AI experts to refine each one, making sure it delivers high-quality, visually compelling results. Every style is thoughtfully chosen to give you the best creative options so you can bring your ideas to life effortlessly.

Choose the right style for your project

When you open the AI video generator :

1. Select the icon image
2. Choose the Text to Image tab
3. You can change the default style — Multipurpose — with the dropdown menu in your text prompt box or check out the other 19 options in the Style Catalog below the prompt box. We’ll explore all the styles below in detail. 

Some styles — marked (F) below — are available in both regular and fast options. The regular style generates more detailed results, whereas the fast option uses fewer credits and is optimized for quick generation. 

Of course, you can pick any of the styles for any type of video. We don’t want to limit your imagination. But to help you find the perfect fit for your project, let’s take a look at all the styles you can choose from and understand how you could use them: 

Multipurpose (F)

Generate striking visuals in any style — just describe your desired look in the prompt. What makes Multipurpose different from other styles is its versatility. It’s designed to adapt to whatever creative direction you’re exploring. Use this style for quick ideation, experimenting with different looks, and efficiently generating high-quality assets.

Storyboard

In the early stages of planning, trying to brainstorm ideas, and working on a storyboard, this style is built to help with concept visualization. It delivers minimalistic black-and-white sketches with clean lines, cinematic framing, and a hand-drawn aesthetic, perfect for ideating, and sharing drafts with your clients.

Successful filmmakers will tell you that great sound effects are the secret to creating compelling scenes. The best SFX are often used in such subtle ways the viewer doesn’t even notice them, yet they can change the entire mood and direction of a scene. 

Sound effects bring visuals to life, add extra layers of depth and realism, and help define a mood, all while progressing the story. Whether it’s the sound of a car hitting the brakes, the creak of a floorboard, or the rustle of a bush, SFX makes everything feel more real. Just try watching a film without any sound effects — it’ll seem quiet and flat. Watch again with the right background sounds, and the viewing experience transforms completely. 

Take A Quiet Place (2018), for example, a film about creatures that hunt by sound. The sound effects — like footsteps, breathing, or a creaking door — create huge amounts of tension. The strategic use of silence and sound forces the audience to pay attention to every little noise, making the sound effects one of the most important aspects of the film. 

Seasoned filmmakers understand that sound effects aren’t just background noise — they’re crucial parts of the emotional experience. 

We just released a brand new collection of spring sound effects, just in time for the turn of the season. We’ll break down some of these brand-new SFX and suggest how you can use them to bring your spring films to life and elevate your nature content.

Artlist’s Spring SFX Collection

SFX: Into the Bush – Leaves, Rustling, Light Wind

Artist: Céline Woodburn

This ten-second sound effect shares the sound of a bush rustling, with light wind in the background. This SFX can be used in a range of outdoor scenarios, with the light wind and rustling leaves reminding viewers of the presence of the outdoor environment. This could be powerful when paired with a quiet moment of introspection as a character walks through the woods, almost as if nature itself is offering the soundtrack.

SFX: Nourishing Nature – Melting Ice, Dripping

Artist: Nick McMahan

This one-minute clip of ice dripping could be used in lots of contexts to enhance the narrative of a scene. The melting of ice can be used to symbolize the passage of time, especially during the change of season, and it can show that spring is on its way, acting as a symbol of renewal and change. 

SFX: Serene Nature – Spring Ambience, Swarm of Bees Buzzing, Birds Chirps, Binaural

Artist: Cinematic Sound Design

This sound effect of bees buzzing and birds chirping backdropped by the sound of water is the ideal soundscape for a meditative scene. You use this SFX in a nature documentary, or alongside a character seeking solace in nature, and provide a calming, therapeutic backdrop to a moment of reflection. The audio will place the audience right there in the environment, and make them feel as if they’re experiencing the scene firsthand.

SFX: It’s Silly – Dreamy Harp Strings, Glissando

Artist: DT Sound

This beautiful audio clip of a harp is ideal for a dream sequence or flashback. The soft music creates a sense of surrealism and nostalgia, transporting both the character and the audience into another time or space. The fluid glissando could act as a transition between scenes, and blurs the lines between the present and the past, or between reality and imagination. And if you’re looking for more of this energy, we’ve collated a playlist of spring-inspired songs and music here.

SFX: Yellowstone Ambience – Quiet Ambience, Birds Chirping

Artist: Yellowstone Sound Library

Immerse yourself and your viewers in the serenity of Yellowstone National Park. This minute-long spring sound effect could be used to backdrop a scene in nature or to add texture to an outdoor documentary. Use this sound effect to elevate a quiet moment between friends, or a young couple’s romantic stroll in the great outdoors.

SFX: Green Thumb – Garden Shovel Digging

Artist: Artlist Foley

If your scene is garden-related, then this is the sound effect for you. It reflects a range of moods — the sound of digging and gardening can be used to emphasize a character’s dedication, hard work, or physical effort. Gardening often represents growth, renewal, or the beginning of something new. The sounds of digging and planting can be used to mirror a character’s personal growth or transformation, signaling growth and rebirth.

SFX: Berlin – Calm Lake, Water Laps

Artist: Rei Elbaz

Experience peace and serenity with the sound of water lapping gently against the shore. This sound effect can act as a symbol of introspection, ideal if a character needs to process their emotions, memories, or make a big decision. The soft sound can mirror the internal flow of thoughts and feelings, or provide a soothing backdrop to a journey of self-discovery.

SFX: Rural – Cows Lowing, Near River, Cattle, Bells, Birds Chirping

Artist: Ivo Vicic

This two-minute sound effect of cows lowing near a gurgling river instantly transports listeners and viewers to a country farm. The combination of bird song, cattle, water, and bells conveys the simplicity and rhythm of farm life, and the gentle hum of nature creates a sense of calm and peacefulness.

SFX: Orchestral Logos – Mythical Chronicles

Artist: Ni Sound

This orchestral sound effect could open a spring fairytale story or a mythical scene. The 14-second clip is upbeat and inspiring, and can accompany the start of a busy day, the opening ceremony of a carnival, a character climbing a mountain, or making a breakthrough. This sound effect will hint at optimism and anticipation, and adds a positive spin to your scene.

SFX: TV Announcer – Today Will Be Mostly Sunny With Cloudy Periods

Artist: Apple Hill Studios

Use this playful and somewhat dramatic sound effect of a slightly robotic voice reading the weather in several ways in your video content. Perhaps as a parody of a weather forecast or to create a sense of realism in a surreal moment. On social media, this could be used to contrast a dramatic moment, like a rant about a huge workload or relationship problems. 

SFX: Fantasy Game – Calm Forest Ambience Loop

Artist: DT Sound

This sound effect has a serene, mystical, and tranquil quality which lends itself to various outdoor scenes. The forest ambiance can symbolize healing or restoration, and the meditative influence of nature. This spring sound effect could be used alongside a tranquil woodland scene, perhaps with a character deep in thought, or a dream sequence, when a character finds themselves in a half-waking state. The ambient forest sounds can loop gently as the dream unfolds, creating a serene but surreal atmosphere. 

SFX: Australian Wildlife – Magpie Bird Warble, Singing, Calling

Artist: Craig Carter Collection

The warble of a magpie in the Australian outback could be used by filmmakers to establish a rural setting. This sound effect, alongside a wide shot of an expansive landscape, will immediately transport the audience to the heart of the countryside. This will enhance the authenticity of a scene while immersing the audience in a specific region. 

The magpie is embedded into many Indigenous Australian cultures, often considered totemic or spiritually significant. Keep this in mind when creating your Aussie outback adventures.

SFX: Cinematic Elements – Dreamy Atmospheric Note

Artist: Tomas Herudek

This sound effect has a rich and ambient quality that creates a sense of wonder, surrealism, and emotional depth. Use this sound effect to create moods, guide the audience’s emotional journey, and build an immersive atmosphere. 

The dream-like quality of this sound effect works well in a flashback scene, or to convey a moment of deep introspection or emotional turmoil. This sound effect could also underscore a scene where the character is processing something deeply personal, perhaps in a moment of solitude or quiet contemplation.

SFX: Living in Madrid – Park Ambience, Birds Chirping, Wings Flap

Artist: Stringer Sound

Get transported to springtime in Madrid with this chirpy SFX from Stringer Sound. With its light, vibrant, and natural quality, this SFX brings the atmosphere of Madrid’s parks to life. Use it in a morning park scene, to emphasize the mood of a romantic stroll, to backdrop an afternoon coffee in the park, or during a quiet moment while a character wanders through gardens alone.

SFX: Worldwide – Small Plaza Ambience, Spring Birds, People, Toulouse, France

Artist: Articulated Sounds

This spring-like sound effect will evoke the charming, lively atmosphere of a quaint European town. Filmmakers and content creators can use this SFX to add depth and authenticity to a plaza scene in Europe and highlight vibrant streets, cafes, and historical charm. 

This SFX could work well for the arrival of a character in a new town, with the background of birdsong creating a sense of hope and optimism. Whether your character is sipping coffee at an outdoor café or navigating a small market, this ambiance will immerse the audience in southern France, adding layers of authenticity to a vibrant scene.

Roee Peled joined Artlist as Chief Product Officer in 2023 to lead product, design, and customer service while overseeing major product launches that empower video creators worldwide to reach their full creative potential.

“Our priority is to deliver an exceptional experience for our users, ensuring they have access to all the tools and assets necessary to create outstanding videos,” Roee says.

Today, Roee reflects on Artlist’s biggest achievements in 2024 and looks ahead to the projects, products, and content lined up for 2025.

Empowering creators: How generative AI transformed Artlist in 2024

For Roee the most notable product launch of 2024 was Artlist’s first step into the generative AI space. “Our generative AI voiceover project was a strong entry point,” Roee says. “Voiceover integrates seamlessly with all the other assets in the catalog, providing creators with a powerful tool to enhance their storytelling and elevate their video production.”

The launch combined AI-generated voiceover technology with Artlist’s high-quality, curated assets to offer one platform with everything you need to create amazing videos. “Today we have a rich catalog of AI voices supporting multiple languages, and accents, together with advanced customizable settings,” Roee says. “We’ve already had great feedback from our customers, both individual creators and big global brands, about the quality and range of voices in the catalog.”

“We stay closely connected with our users, constantly working to enhance our product to meet their evolving needs,” Roee continues. “Based on valuable user feedback, we introduced a popular feature that enables creators to use their AI-generated voiceover as a foundation for building Artboards.”

Artboards offer an innovative way to spark inspiration and discover creative assets, marking another standout product initiative from 2024. Leveraging the power of AI, this feature provides personalized recommendations for music, footage, and SFX, all tailored to the voiceover script, helping users bring their projects to life with ease and efficiency.

2024: a year that championed design and user experience

Last year also saw a new design for Artlist. The catalog has a brand-new look and feel — an intuitive workspace, personalized to each individual creator so they can easily find the assets best suited to them. This includes customized home pages that suggest features and assets you might like based on your past behaviors and downloads. 

Roee also recently oversaw the launch of LUTs, which represents a powerful addition to Artlist’s creative ecosystem. LUTs enable filmmakers to elevate their visual storytelling with professional-grade color-grading tools. “By integrating LUTs into our platform, we empower creators to achieve cinematic looks effortlessly, ensuring your projects stand out with a polished, cohesive aesthetic,” Roee says. This launch shows our commitment to offering a complete set of tools that spark creativity and improve the production process.

Finally, 2024 saw the launch of an extension for Adobe Premiere Pro, so users have access to music, SFX, and voiceovers directly within the video editor. Roee explains, “This initiative is part of our commitment to streamlining the workflow, giving you — the creator — greater control over Artlist assets to craft the perfect soundtrack and complement their videos with outstanding visuals. It’s a significant step forward in enhancing the creative process.”

Your all-in-one generative AI studio: Artlist’s 2025 vision

“In 2025, our product vision for Artlist is about expanding the boundaries of generative AI to empower video creators like never before,” Roee says. “We’re working on introducing new and exciting generative tools and capabilities to the platform so that creators have access to the best generative models available. What sets Artlist apart is our deep understanding of video creators and their workflows, so the platform is very powerful but also easy to use.”

A key focus is integrating these new generative capabilities with the existing AI assets, like AI voiceover, and combining them with Artlist’s curated, high-quality content — music, footage, and sound effects. The idea is to create high-quality generative image, video, and voiceover packages to conveniently give you what you need, all in one place. 

“One of the things that we want to provide is one subscription for all the generative assets,” Roee says. “This means creators will be able to produce and customize their videos simply to fit the needs of their specific video projects. The tools will naturally fit into the creators’ workflow without needing to become a prompt engineer. Our goal is to make these tools not just innovative but truly accessible and practical for every creator.”

Cutting through the noise so you don’t have to

Even the most seasoned filmmakers might feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options at their fingertips. That’s why one of Artlist’s key priorities is to tailor the content in the catalog to each individual’s needs and interests. 

All of these decisions are based on extensive research, with an in-house team dedicated to getting user feedback on any new features to understand how best to improve. Plus, many people at Artlist are video creators themselves, so the team knows exactly what will make the lives of the community easier.

“In 2025, Artlist’s product vision is about creating a truly personalized and dynamic experience so you can discover the right content at the right time,” Roee says. “Building on the foundation we laid in 2024 with a new look and feel, an intuitive workspace, and a personalized homepage, we’re taking it to the next level.” 

Roee continues, “This approach not only addresses challenges like content fatigue but also makes sure that every time you use the catalog, the content exploration journey is fast and tailored to your unique values, goals, and needs. We aim to make Artlist an even more inspiring and efficient platform for creators.”

An ecosystem for artists

Keeping artists front and center of the Artlist experience will always be a top priority. That’s why there are tons of new collaborations lined up with filmmakers, musicians, animators, and more.

“We’re making sure we bring artists to the fore and give users the ability to follow artists they like,” says Roee.

Next year, Artlist will focus on working with more artists to create original content, so the community has access to brand-new, high-quality assets that can’t be found anywhere else.

Because there’s so much discussion about the ethics of AI and how to keep supporting artists, Artlist will also continue to work with artists in the generative space. 

“We believe that the combination of supporting artists and generative AI can take us to new heights,” Roee says. “There are many solutions out there for generative AI, video, image, voiceover, and other assets, however, we simply focus on our user base to make sure the experience, the features, and the capabilities are relevant for them.”

Dedicated updates to support businesses and brands

Artlist Business is always at the forefront of new projects and product designs. “We launched several initiatives in 2024 that focused on adding value for Business clients, and we’ll continue that in 2025 with new collaboration tools for teams working together on Artlist,” Roee says. 

One of the initiatives in 2024 came in the form of storyboarding, which allows a team of video creators to use Artboards to brainstorm together with assets from the catalog. “That’s all part of our effort to boost team-building features for Businesses and brands,” Roee says.

Artlist’s vision for 2025 and beyond

“With the evolution of generative AI, we will work towards image and video generation, building it in a way that serves video creators’ needs,” Roee says. “We’re able to bring all those technological developments while ensuring a great experience, always with the utmost quality across all our assets.”

Ultimately, Roee believes that Artlist will continue to be viewed as a brand focused on the video creator community, committed to quality, simplicity, and creativity. “That’s where we want to be, and that’s what we’re here to do,” he says. “Our vision is to be the go-to place for video creators, social creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses, and make sure we give them everything they need to create amazing videos.”

Meet Dan Ramm. He’s a Connecticut-based filmmaker with big ideas and an even bigger heart — and that’s not an exaggeration, he has a heart condition. This is partly what inspired his winning idea — that and his wife, who works in a hospice. Today, we’re delighted to announce that Dan’s 7 Wonders series is the winner of Artlist’s $100K Fund 2024, and we can’t wait to see it. 

We caught up with Dan to find out more about his winning project, the many people who inspired the concept, and how he hopes the end result will resonate with the Artlist community.

Meet Dan Ramm, the winner of the 2024 $100K Fund

Mortality has always been a part of Dan’s story. Born and raised on the East Coast of the USA, his father passed away from a heart condition before he was born. The condition was hereditary, so both Dan and his sister grew up with heart issues, something that has affected Dan’s outlook on life. 

“My dad died of heart failure after getting a heart transplant,” Dan says. “So I grew up with this sense of wanting to make him proud in some way.”

Dan fell in love with film through Terminator II, and knew from a young age that was what he wanted to do. “I was obsessed with movies,” he says. “I would watch VHS tapes over and over, and when it was time to go to college, I wanted to go to film school.”

His parents weren’t so enthusiastic, and despite attempts to sabotage his entrance exams, Dan got into college to study Communications. Soon after, he was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, which had a knock-on effect on his entire well-being. 

“It spider webs into other things, like arthritis and anemia, and a few years ago, I started getting heart episodes,” he says. “I was playing volleyball, jumped and landed, and my heart just would not turn off. It was in racing mode, palpitating non-stop for hours.”

But despite his health battles, Dan left college to become a successful marketer. “I was able to make videos, and I’d freelance in my spare time to make films for other people,” he says. He landed a role at a non-profit called Boys and Girls Club and, from there, started making a film about the inter-connected true stories of the kids, which is now in the final stages of post-production.

The story behind Dan’s 7 Wonders series

Dan had been using Artlist for his film projects for years, and heard about the $100K Fund through a newsletter. He looked at his list of ideas and found his Seven Wonders series sitting at the top of it.

“My wife Jackie works as a social worker in a hospice, and I wanted to tell her story,” Dan says. “It’s tough, she’ll get attached to a really cool client, but, like, all of her clients are dying.”

Dan learned from Jackie that working in a hospice really levels the playing field. “She has clients who are everyday people, and she has clients that are Fortune 500 CEOs,” Dan says. “She comes home and tells me about the regrets people have, so I started writing them down. There’s obviously more than seven but they all fall into a similar kind of theme, so they really boiled down to the same issues.”

This, alongside his own personal experiences of health struggles and mortality, is the inspiration behind Dan’s Seven Wonders series. Dan plans to create a 7-part mini-series exploring the seven biggest regrets people face on their deathbeds. 

Each episode explores one central theme tied to a big regret people have at the end of their lives, building up to one climactic scene in which Dan himself overcomes that regret. 

Why Dan’s submission stood out

Dan’s submission has it all — the sense of adventure, the personal story, and powerful messaging. His submission film and accompanying presentation showcased his personality, humor, and natural presenting abilities, which gave the team a taste for how the series will turn out. On top of that, Dan’s submission was full of interesting personal nuggets of information that made us want to learn more. 

”We loved how Dan’s project is rooted in something very personal, yet universal,” says Roy Mayer, Artlist’s Social Media Lead. “We also loved how he constructed a really exciting concept out of that core idea, in a way that will work well on YouTube with content that feels over the top in a good way.”

How Artlist will help bring 7 Wonders to life

Artlist’s $100K Fund has one aim: to help creators like Dan realize their most ambitious and impactful projects. That’s exactly what happened last year with the 2023 $100K Fund winners Sent Into Space, who broke records documenting the Northern Lights from space. With this fund, Artlist can empower creators to expand their horizons, while inspiring the community to be more courageous with their creativity.

Dan will have access to all of Artlist’s resources throughout the creation of his project. That includes access to the Artlist team for consultancy and advice, feedback from the filmmaking team, and, of course, $100,000 to bring his vision to life. 

“Growing up as a kid, the two words I said the most were ‘I wonder,’” Dan says. “I was just so curious, and I feel like modern generations are kind of robbed of that because we don’t have to wonder anymore. We can just say, ‘Hey, Siri, how fast is the sun spinning at any given moment?’”

The $100K Fund means Dan has the opportunity to continue to wonder while providing answers for others who are just as curious as he is.

What’s next for Dan Ramm and 7 Wonders

Each episode will explore a different regret and how to overcome it, and the first episode is all about balance — “‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard’ is a big regret people have,” Dan says. 

For this episode, Dan will team up with One Inch Dreams, a slack-line and film production team, who will accompany Dan as he attempts to break a world record by slack-lining across two hot-air balloons three miles in the air. 

The episode will take place in Spain, where they will interview local people, together with Alexander Schultz, co-founder of One Inch Dreams, about their thoughts on balance. “He’s slack-lined across two skyscrapers and an active volcano,” Dan says. “Like, over a volcano spewing lava wearing a gas mask, so I gotta get that guy’s thoughts on mortality and regret.”

For his adventure episode, Dan will explore the idea of finding your purpose. “One regret people have is discovering their purpose in life too late,” Dan says. “Jackie will tell me about how someone will start playing violin at the end of their lives and be amazing at it. Can you imagine never being good at much your whole life and then, right at the end, discovering something you’re not just good at, but feel passionate about? I think that’s such a tragedy.”

The other 5 episodes will be centered around:

• Authenticity: “I wish I had the courage to just be myself.”
• Expression: “I wish I had the courage to express my feelings.”
• Connection: “I wish I’d stayed in touch with friends and family more.”
• Decision: “I wish I could be happier.”
• Presence: “I wish I hadn’t focused too much on the future and lost touch with the present.” 

Although Dan will be the main protagonist, he plans to explore these themes with an ensemble cast of characters, from long-lost personal friends to new ones he makes along the way. 

Each episode will have three acts: the first will consist of a raw and honest interview with real people to frame the regret, the second will show Dan and his crew discussing the theme on their way to complete the final stunt, and the third act will be the stunt itself, with Dan overcoming his fears and countering the regret.

Dan describes himself as an adventurer and believes he could have been a stuntman in an alternate universe, which is why he’ll be attempting the climactic stunt set pieces himself.  As well as the highest tightrope world-record attempt, he plans to skydive from a hot-air balloon in Spain, drive a Formula 1 race car in England, fly in a fighter jet in Florida, jump from a moving helicopter in Ireland, wingwalk with The AeroSuperBatics Wingwalkers in England, wakeskate and skimboard across a world-famous black sand beach in Iceland, and jump off a skyscraper in Dubai. 

Stay up-to-date on Dan’s journey

We can’t wait to see what Dan has in store for us — and we’re just as excited about the emotional journey as we are about the physical one. Make sure you stay up-to-date on Dan’s adventures through Artlist’s blog and social media channels, and we hope you feel just as inspired by Dan’s story as we do.

And for those feeling motivated to enter the $100K Fund next year, Dan has some advice: “Make your idea as fully fleshed out as possible, and break down the barrier between imagination and reality. Ideas are like a wild horse and they can seem unattainable to people who want to help you, so if you can tame that idea and show you can ride that wild horse, you’ll get the help you need.”

We’re excited to announce that hundreds of LUTs are now available for you to download on Artlist! LUTs have long been one of the most important tools for editors in the post-production process, specifically when it comes to color grading. Now, with access to Artlist LUTs, video creators have a wealth of new options in how their films look and feel. 

In this blog, we’ll take a look at LUTs in general, explore the new category in the catalog, and understand how to download and use them in your own projects.

What are LUTs, and why would you use them?

LUTs, also known as Look-Up Tables, are essential tools in video editing that convert input color values to specific output values, simplifying your color grading and adjustment processes. Put simply, they allow for much quicker manipulation of color tones and styles.

You can learn more about LUTs in this dedicated blog article.

Why Artlist’s LUTs are perfect for video creators

Artlist’s new LUTs collection is the result of careful work led by our expert in-house colorists, who are passionate about making these LUTs as user-friendly and high-quality as possible. “We made sure they are optimized to work across a wide range of shots,” says Dor Zammir, a Colorist at Artlist. “They’re designed to enhance the footage, helping you achieve beautiful, professional results while minimizing the risk of harsh colors or contrasts.”

Creating LUTs that elevate visuals without overpowering them is no small feat, and Dor’s team dedicated months to this balancing act. Artlist LUTs are made to keep your footage looking natural while bringing out its best qualities, so users can enjoy filmic or cinematic looks without compromising on details. In fact, Dor and his team use many of these LUTs in their own color grading work because of their quality and versatility.

Each LUT in the catalog is optimized for Rec. 709 color space — a widely used color standard — making them compatible with a broad range of footage and setups. “We wanted our LUTs to be usable across as many shots as possible,” explains Dor, making sure that video creators can find the right look easily, whether they’re after a dramatic mood or a soft, vintage style.

Artlist’s intuitive browsing interface also makes finding the right LUT easier. Gone are the days of endlessly scrolling through lists of LUTs or downloading and manually testing LUT packs. 

On Artlist, you can select sample footage that’s close to yours, and then browse and preview LUTs by mood, style, or specific adjustments like contrast and saturation, saving tons of time. As Dor puts it, “What’s important is that our users find what they want fast and enjoy using the LUTs.”

The result? A LUTs collection that’s as reliable and easy-to-use as it is high-quality, built for everyone from beginners to seasoned professionals. 

How to use the LUTs category on Artlist

Getting started with LUTs on Artlist is very straightforward:

1. Start by navigating to the LUTs option in the left-hand menu.
2. Choose the sample footage that best matches the style or lighting conditions of your project. This helps you see how each LUT might look in a similar context.
3. Refine your search by adjusting filters for temperature, saturation, or contrast. You can also explore by Style, with options like cinematic, vintage, and nature, or search by Tone, which covers a whole range from dramatic or moody to soft and playful.
4. Once you find a LUT that catches your eye, click on it to view a full preview. You can also use the arrows on the right and left to browse through different LUTs on the same sample footage to compare styles.
5. When you’re ready, simply download your selected LUT. Then, import it into your preferred editing software to start enhancing your footage!

This streamlined process makes it easy to test and choose the best LUT for your project without the hassle of bulk downloads or trial-and-error.

How to use LUTs in every editing software

Here’s a quick-start guide on how to use a LUT in your editing software.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Go to the Lumetri Color panel, then under Basic Correction or Creative, select the Input LUT dropdown and choose Browse to locate the LUT file.

DaVinci Resolve

Open the Color workspace, right-click on the Node where you want to apply the LUT, and select 3D LUT to load your LUT file.

Final Cut Pro

Select the clip, go to the Effects browser, search for Custom LUT, drag it to the timeline, and choose your LUT from the options or import one.

Best practices for using LUTs in your videos

There are many ways to apply your color-grading LUTs. Here are a few top tips and rules that can help guide you through the process and get the most satisfying results.

Adjust Intensity

Remember to always take some time to fine-tune the LUT’s intensity to avoid over-processing. Dialing down the strength ensures a more natural look and prevents harsh color changes.

Combine with other adjustments

You should use LUTs as a starting point and combine them with other color corrections, like exposure, contrast, or saturation, to achieve balanced and refined results.

Match footage

You should ensure the LUT you choose aligns with your footage’s exposure and white balance. Applying a LUT to well-balanced footage will give you better, more consistent results.

Test multiple LUTs

Experiment with different LUTs to see which one enhances your visuals while preserving the detail, then adjust it to your taste and vision.

Subtlety is key

Most professional colorists will tell you that less is often more with LUTs. A subtle adjustment can improve the aesthetic without drawing attention to the grading itself.

Which Artlist plans include LUTs?

LUTs are included in all Max and Footage & Templates plans at no extra cost. If you’ve already got a plan with LUTs included, you can get started downloading and using them in your projects right away. Subscribers with Music & SFX plans need to upgrade to Max to get full access to the LUTs category.

So, how do you choose? To answer that, let’s tackle a few key questions, including what exactly makes an action camera an action camera, and how best to film with one. You’ll also read thoughts on the three latest flagship offerings, alongside a few essential gear recommendations to help you get the most out of your new purchase.

What is an action camera?

First of all, what is an action camera? The clue is in the name here — it’s any type of small, rugged camera that’s been built and designed for ‘action’. This broad term covers everything from skiing to surfing, hiking, paragliding and just about everything in between.

The main characteristics of an action camera

A great action camera is almost always going to be a compact, rugged, and waterproof camera that’s been designed to capture high-quality video and photos in extreme or fast-paced environments. With these factors in mind, it’s typically lightweight and portable, with a wide-angle lens to capture immersive, exciting footage both above land and underwater. 

Action cameras are most popular for activities like sports, outdoor adventures, and travel, and they’ll often feature image stabilization and 4K video recording, as well as mounts that allow them to be attached to helmets, bikes, or other gear. The mark of the best action camera on the market is in the build quality — it can withstand the rough conditions you put it through, while continuing to deliver crisp, dynamic shots.

Top tips on filming with action cameras

Here are six top tips on how to film with an action camera.

1. Use the right mount

You always want to make sure that your action camera is securely mounted for stability, whether it’s on a helmet, bike, or strapped to your chest. This helps create steady, immersive shots without constant camera handling. Buying an action camera head mount and other various mounts is always a great idea.

2. Leverage that wide-angle lens

Action cameras often have really wide lenses, so you want to get as close to the action as possible to avoid distant or underwhelming footage. This helps to create a dynamic, first-person perspective.

3. Enable image stabilization

The best action cameras all offer amazing image stabilization features nowadays, which smooth out shaky footage, especially during fast movements like biking or running. Make sure this setting is enabled whenever possible.

4. Experiment with different angles

Action cameras are really small and compact, which means you can position them in places you wouldn’t normally be able to if you were using a DSLR or mirrorless camera. Remember to get creative with your camera placement and angles — try low angles, top-down views, or unique perspectives to make your shots stand out.

5. Think about lighting

Action cameras usually have quite small sensors in comparison to other types of cameras, so make sure to shoot in well-lit environments for the best quality footage. If you’re filming in low light, use in-camera settings that optimize exposure.

6. Try out different video modes

Each action camera comes packed with different video modes for you to try out. Time lapses are always a great way to make your videos more dynamic, while shooting in slow motion is what action cameras were made for!

What is the best action camera on the market right now?

So, with all of the above information in mind, what’s the best action camera for you? As mentioned, there are a few top competitors. Let’s dive into each in a little more detail to help you decide which one is the right fit for your needs.

Insta360 Ace Pro 2

Insta360 have been busy setting the pace in the world of 360 video with their latest X4 release, but they’re also pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a classic action camera. Their new release, the Ace Pro 2, builds on the success of the original Ace Pro and solidifies its position as one of the “big three”.

The core marketing for the Ace Pro 2 is that it can record 8K video, but its real strength lies in its overall video performance. Small, lightweight, and rugged, this action camera excels with its 4K video capabilities, offering great stabilization and a new I-log picture profile for improved dynamic range and color. The large 1/1.3 inch sensor developed in collaboration with Leica guarantees beautiful image quality, and it’s particularly amazing in low-light conditions thanks to the PureVideo Plus setting. 

Additionally, the Ace Pro 2 boasts an action camera first with dual AI chips, providing more shooting modes at higher specifications, making it ideal for fast-moving motion and high-intensity action. The flip touchscreen is now larger and sturdier than its predecessor, and in another first for action cameras, there’s an innovative, removable wind guard design that keeps wind and noise at a minimum during those peak moments.

GoPro Hero 13 Black

GoPro practically created the action camera niche from scratch, and for a long time dominated it. But with competitors now catching up, can it remain number one? The GoPro Hero 13 Black is, as expected, a solid entry to their most famous camera lineup.

The best way to describe the GoPro Hero 13 Black is that it offers a refined upgrade on its predecessor, the Hero Black 12. It remains a polished 5.3K shooter with enhanced slow-motion capabilities, a new lens, and ND filter accessories, along with easier magnetic mounting, all combining to make it a more well-rounded option for serious filmmakers. The auto-detection feature for the new HB-series lenses and the Macro Lens Mod are particularly impressive, especially for vlogging purposes.

Pros include a superb range of accessories, improved battery life, better heat dissipation, and excellent 5.3K video quality. However, the sensor and resolution remain unchanged from the Hero Black 12, the slow-motion processing takes time, and it’s clear that Insta360 cameras still perform better in low-light scenarios. The additional cost of Lens Mods can also add up.

DJI Osmo Action 5

Last, but certainly not least, the Osmo Action 5 Pro shows that DJI is a strong competitor in the action camera market, rivaling GoPro with its excellent all-around performance. More waterproof and freeze-proof than its rivals, it also boasts longer battery life and close compatibility with the DJI Mic 2 for crisp wireless audio. Its versatility and range of features make it a great choice for content creators and vloggers alike.

Key pros include good dynamic range and detail, dual OLED screens, waterproofing up to 20m without a case, long battery life, and seamless integration with the DJI Mic 2. However, it lacks a 5.3K+ video option, and its SuperNight mode pales in comparison with the Insta360 Ace Pro 2.

Action camera gear

If you really want to get the most out of your action camera, then you need to invest in additional gear. Here are a few essentials to get you started.

Action camera protector

Your action camera is rugged and durable, but there’s no harm in buying a lens or body protector for when it’s not in use.

Action camera head mount

For really fun, interesting shots that offer the unique perspective only an action camera can, you should get a head mount.

Action camera body mount

 Alongside a head mount, a body mount is also a great idea for those classic POV shots.

Tripod

If you’re looking to vlog with your action camera, then having a tripod with you is always a good idea. It helps you set up a variety of interesting shots, as well as keeping your hands off the camera body, ensuring there are no unwanted scuffs or scratches on the audio.

Extra batteries

While the battery life of action cameras is getting better and better, it’s always a good idea to have a spare on hand. Sometimes you might be out in the middle of nowhere with no opportunity to charge for days on end, so an extra battery is going to come in very handy.

SD Card

A micro SD card is going to be essential for storing high-quality footage and ensuring smooth recording at higher frame rates.

The final verdict

In conclusion, choosing the right action camera is ultimately going to depend on your specific needs and preferences, as the latest models from Insta360, GoPro, and DJI all offer outstanding features suited to different types of creators. Whether you prioritize image quality, ruggedness, or advanced video modes, each camera has its strengths, from Insta360’s groundbreaking 8K video and low-light performance to GoPro’s enhanced slow-motion capabilities and DJI’s exceptional battery life and waterproofing. 

When you pair your camera with the right accessories, such as mounts, extra batteries, and an SD card, you can get the most out of your shooting experience, making sure that you capture stunning footage in any environment.

Searching with typos

It can be so frustrating when a search doesn’t work because you made a mistake in the spelling, or sometimes there’s more than one way of spelling something (think R&B vs RnB vs R‘n’B). 

The new AI music search doesn’t let these mistakes get in the way of finding you the right result, so you can focus on getting the right song, not your spelling.

How does it work?

The new AI music search uses the latest large language model (LLM) technology. It’s trained on huge amounts of music and their corresponding descriptions, to be able to match your search query, in your natural language, with the best results. 

After this training process, our catalog curators got involved. They’re true music experts, and we used their feedback to refine the model and get you even more accurate results.

This is just the beginning, the model will keep learning with every new search that goes into it, and we’ll keep making it better and better over time.

Find the footage and SFX to fit your music

Artlist also has a powerful AI-powered footage search that uses similar technology to get you the perfect results when looking for royalty-free footage for your video projects. 

Every clip in the catalog comes with suggestions from Artlist’s huge collection of high-quality sound effects that match the visuals. 

So, you really have everything you need to create amazing videos. To get full access to the catalog, check out the Artlist Max plan.

There’s even more to come

Over the next few months you can expect lots more updates and new features in Artlist to help you create better videos faster than ever. Get news on the latest developments, together with tutorials, and inspirational curated collections, when you sign up for free.

When Alex Keen and Matt Lanning entered Artlist’s $100K Fund competition last year, they weren’t necessarily expecting to win. For years, their project had seemed like a far-off dream. So when they sat in a meeting room with the budget to execute it, they felt a bit overwhelmed.

“You dream as big as you can and then you realize: oh god, now we have to start working on this,” Matt laughs.

That’s exactly what the $100K Fund is all about. The aim is to empower the Artlist community of creators to pitch their most mind-blowing video project. The most impressive, exciting, and unique concept receives $100,000 from Artlist to bring it to life. 

The idea behind the fund is to encourage the Artlist community to create without limits, and to give you the chance to work on an outlandish passion project. Often, creatives have to work according to a brief, so this is an opportunity to create something on your own terms, and grow as a creator while you do it. 

We caught up with Sent Into Space, the winner of last year’s $100K Fund, to find out how their creativity and workflow has been impacted by the opportunity to work on the project of their dreams. 

We also checked in with Josh Guvi, the runner-up of last year’s competition. He’s been working with Artlist as an ambassador, and shares how this has benefited his creative output and his ability to dream bigger than ever before.

What happened after winning?

It’s been close to a year since Sent Into Space was announced the 2023 $100K Fund winner, and when we talk, they’re about to head off into the wilderness of Northern Sweden to capture the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) on film from 100,000 feet (30,480m) above Earth.

Matt, the Head of Creative Services, Alex, the Communications and Marketing Manager, and eight other team members will travel to a remote part of the Arctic Circle with custom-designed cameras they’ve spent close to a year engineering. They’ll launch into space from the Swedish Space Agency, and the team will film their journey from start to finish to produce a documentary called Reaching for Light. 

“I’m a camera operator and a protagonist in the film,” Matt says. “So we’re all wearing multiple hats.”

Preparing for this project has pushed the team to their limits as they’ve had to do it alongside their usual client projects. “We’ve got some pretty technically complex rigs,” Matt says. “The main camera system is an amalgamation of 12 different Insta360 Ace Pro cameras that all have to turn on and start recording at the right time, in the right position, so that we can stitch everything together in 360.”

Although it’s been a huge amount of work, the team is already feeling the creative benefits in many ways. “It’s great that our team can be themselves on camera,” Matt says. “For this documentary, we’re getting to know the person, who they are, and what they do for the company, and it’s really refreshing being able to shoot that content rather than having a script and a teleprompter.”

Matt says another benefit is simply being able to afford brand-new equipment. “We’ve got new, professional lighting, and the extra kit we’ve been able to buy is helping develop our skills,” he says. “We’re learning how long each shot takes, how we can light it better, and then we can transfer those skills to the next project. So everything we’re learning in this campaign will help future client projects.”

Once they return from Sweden, they hope to finish all three films by the end of the year. That includes the 15-minute documentary, a behind-the-scenes version, and, of course, the 360-degree visual of Aurora Borealis. They’re hoping to work with planetariums to share their Aurora visuals, and plan to submit their documentary to film festivals.

Alex and Matt say this project has boosted excitement and morale within the entire company. “We all have our set ways, and often we can be split up, especially as we grow as a company,” Matt says. “It’s easy for things to get siloed, so this has been a great team-building exercise as well.”

“And having a shared vision for ourselves, and not anybody else, is really motivating,” Alex adds.

Josh Guvi’s stand-out submission

Josh Guvi is a content creator and filmmaker from Vancouver, Canada. He was working as a filmmaker for corporate clients before he decided to quit everything, sell everything, and travel the world. A few months into his adventure, he picked up his camera and started sharing his unique insights and perspectives alongside the jaw-dropping scenery he caught on film. His network grew exponentially, and soon he was living out his dreams in real time, motorbiking across Vietnam, scaling mountains in Nepal, and exploring the tropical rainforests of Madagascar. 

As a content creator, he’d been following Artlist for a while, so when he saw the opportunity to enter the $100K Fund, he pitched his most ambitious project to date. “My goal has always been to help tell stories of voices that haven’t been heard, or humanize people around the world who haven’t yet told their stories,” Josh says. “When you travel a lot, you come across incredible people who never had a stage to share their experiences, and I want to help become a platform for that.”

And that’s what he pitched. He planned to travel to every continent within 60 days, and tell one story from each continent within that time.

“I always felt like a lot of travel content focuses on where to find the most empty beach,” he says. “Obviously, when you travel, you don’t have much time to actually get to know locals, but for me that’s the part that really shines.”

Although he didn’t win the $100K Fund, Artlist was so impressed with this unique perspective that they asked Josh to join the team as an ambassador and brand partner. “It’s been awesome,” he says. “It’s really helped me grow as a creator in a lot of ways. When you have a company that backs you creating whatever you want to create, and funding you, it’s really cool and really inspiring. It gives me total creative freedom.”

Not long ago, Josh rode a motorcycle across Nepal, and shared a video blog on YouTube which included a breakdown on how to make the video, and the ways in which he used Artlist to execute his creative vision. 

Josh also played an important role in Artlist’s biggest product release this year: the new AI voiceover generator. His video showing how he used the feature played an important role in the launch campaign, and was also the subject of a dedicated blog article to explain the voiceover feature.

In the future, Josh plans to continue pushing the boundaries of his creativity and to move into the cinematography, documentary and filmmaking space. “I want to be telling stories on an even bigger scale, and move away from being in front of the camera,” he says. “I want to focus on other people’s stories and experiences more than my own.”

Lessons learned

If you’re thinking of applying for this year’s $100K Fund, Sent Into Space recommends you think big, but try to keep those ideas rooted in reality, because you might actually win. “It sounds corny, but dare to dream,” says Matt. “There’s no limits. Put forward your most creative, wacky idea, but obviously, it needs to be well thought out, so definitely research. Planning, research, creativity – all of those things combined.”

Josh adds, “Don’t hold back, and do something that is unique to you, not something you think will win. Do something that shows your authenticity and your passion.”

Both Sent Into Space and Josh caught the attention of Artlist’s panel of judges because their ideas were ambitious yet authentic to the creators.
