This article provides suggested naming for partners delivering output viewing transforms or Look-Up Tables (LUTs) used in color grading. If an ACES workflow was used in finishing, Netflix prefers an AMF (ACES Metadata File) and any associated look transforms (LMTs) used in the color grading project (such as CLFs). If non-standard 3DLUTs were used, they should be delivered in .cube format; there is no requirement for LUT dimensions.
File Naming
For a LUT to be useful, it is important that its file name be descriptive as to its application. It must be easy to understand at a glance.

| Season / Episode (if applicable) / Longplay | s[season##]e[episode##] or r[reel##] or lp[longplay] | s01e01, s011e02 or s01 or lp |
| Input Colorspace | gamma_gamut | vlog_vgamut, slog3_sgamut3 |
| To | TO | TO |
| Output Colorspace | gamma_gamut | rec709_g24, dci_p3, pq_p3d65 |
| Light Level / Max Luminance (if applicable) | Max Luminance | 10000nits, 14fl, 100nits |
| Signal Range IN & OUT | F = full/extended, L = legal/head | FF, FL, LF, LL |
