Install custom Look-up Table files

A Look-up Table (LUT) file can be used across different color grading applications. You can install LUTs created in other apps in Premiere Pro.

To install a custom LUT file, follow the folder structure prescribed for your operating system:

macOS

Only for local users

For all users

You need to create the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs folder (absolute path) and all other folders that you need inside it. To create these folders, you need Admin credentials.

Windows

Only for local users

On Windows, LUTs are stored in the C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs\ location. This location contains the Input and Output folders.

Premiere Pro uses LUTs stored in the Input folder for this operation: Modify > Interpret Footage > Color Management > Input LUT (Modify > Color > Input LUT in Premiere Pro v 24.0 and later). In Premiere Pro 24.0 (or later), LUTs stored in the Input folder also appear in Lumetri Color > Settings > Source Clip > Input LUT.

Available to all users

You need to create the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\ folder and all other folders that you need inside it. To create these folders, you need Admin credentials.

Result

When you open a project using Premiere Pro, these folders are scanned, and LUT files are loaded from these folders. LUTs in the Technical directories appear in the Input LUT dropdown list.
