6 Steps for properly adding a LUT to your footage

• Place LUTs in Correct Folders

  To install multiple LUTs, first create one or more of the folders listed below if they are not already created. Then copy your LUT files to the correct folder.

  MAC INSTALL
  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Creative
  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Technical

  WINDOWS INSTALL
  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Creative
  C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Technical

  

• Open Premiere and Select Clip

  Open Adobe Premiere and Select your Clip or Adjustment Layer in the Sequence where you want to add the LUT.

• Add Lumetri Color Effect

  Open the Color Workspace by clicking on the Color Tab.

  Or navigate to your Effects browser and select “Lumetri Color” and drag it onto your footage.

  

• Open the Creative Tab to Load the LUT

  In the Lumetri Panel, Open the Creative Tab and select the “Look” dropdown list to navigate to your LUTs we previously added to the Creative Folder. The LUT you select will now be loaded and you should see the look applied to your footage. 

  *Conversion LUTs in the Technical Folder appear in the Basic Correction “Input LUT” dropdown list.

  

• Alternative Way to Quickly Add a LUT

  If you want to just add one LUT quickly, select “Browse” and navigate to the .cube file (which is the LUT) and click “Open.” If you have a Conversion LUT, you would instead load that in the Basic Correction Tab.

• Adjust LUT Intensity

  The LUT you imported will now be loaded and you should see the look applied to your footage.

  You can also change the intensity of the LUT by adjusting the Intensity Slider to taste.
