The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

Apply the approved TikTok LUT to this campaign cut so all clips sit in the same color family. Load the LUT, apply it to the whole track, then review headshots and product closeups for clipping or blown highlights. Export a 1080×1920 draft and send to Jonah in performance by Wednesday for A/B testing setup. Ladder":"L1"

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before shipping to Jonah, make the LUT application easy to approve: show a single representative frame from each camera with and without the LUT, call out three shots where the LUT changes skin tone, and propose the one clip where a reduced LUT strength would keep highlights from clipping. Ladder":"L2"

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I applied the campaign LUT and a few clips look tacky

I just applied the campaign LUT across the sequence and two interview clips now look plasticky while the product shots improve. The stakeholders are Jonah in performance and Priya in procurement who expects consistency. I don't know whether to remove the LUT from the whole track, hand‑mask the interview clips, or reduce LUT strength. What's the likely diagnosis and the lowest‑risk corrective step? Ladder":"L5"

Become — change the pattern

I keep slapping LUTs across edits and then reworking mixed camera footage

Over many edits I default to applying a single LUT to speed up grading, then waste time fixing mixed camera footage and losing delivery time. Where am I losing credibility, what routine should I change, and what two checks will stop this from happening? Ladder":"L6"

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
