XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) is a standard for embedding metadata in digital files, commonly used in photography, video, and other media to store information such as camera settings, edits, copyrights, and descriptive tags. A CUBE (or .cube) file is a common 3D LUT (Look-Up Table) format used in color grading workflows to map input colors to output colors. Converting XMP to a CUBE file is typically required when you want to transform color or creative adjustments saved as metadata (for example, in Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom) into a 3D LUT that can be applied in video-editing or color-grading software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, etc.).
