How can you apply a LUT to a clip?

Explanation:
LUTs are applied through the Color page, using the LUT Browser. This is where you preview and apply predefined color transformations to a clip by selecting the desired LUT and applying it to the clip or to a color node. It’s the standard workflow because LUTs modify the image’s color data directly during grading, and the Color page provides a centralized, non-destructive way to manage them. The Fusion tab is for effects and compositing, not for applying LUTs. In the Edit page, color wheels are for manual grading rather than selecting and applying a LUT. Dragging a LUT onto the timeline isn’t how you apply it—the LUT needs to be applied within the Color page (via the LUT Browser) to affect the clip’s color data.
