LUT is an acronym for Look Up Table. It processes a color value and outputs a corresponding value. You can use LUTs to manipulate saturation and contrast, or completely change the color of a clip. LUTs are commonly used to create and save color grades that can be applied to give your clips a unique style.
Premiere Pro classifies LUTs in two categories:
- Input LUT: An Input LUT interprets footage. It is applied on flat log footage to enhance and color correct footage. You can use it a starting point for grading footage.
- Looks: A Look is a LUT designed to change the appearance and color style of a clip. Apply looks to make your video look like a professionally shot film. For more information, see Get creative with color using Lumetri looks..
How to add LUTs
To add a LUT, do the following:
-
-
Do one of the following:
- In the Lumetri panel, open the Basic Correction tab.
- In the Effects Control panel, open the Basic Correction tab from the Lumetri section.
-
In the Basic Correction tab, select the Input LUT dropdown menu. You can add existing LUTs from Premiere Pro. To add a new LUT, click Browse…
-
The File Explorer on your system opens. Select the LUT of your choice.
The LUT is applied on the clip. You can then edit the white balance and tone of the clip.
Export Looks, LUTs, and save presets
Premiere Pro lets you save and reuse your color adjustments in different projects or applications. You can export color grading information as a .look file or a LUT file to use in Adobe Premiere Pro or a third-party application.
Select the Lumetri Color pop-up menu, and choose one of the following:
- Export .look: Exports color adjustments as a Lumetri Look preset file in .look format.
- Export .cube: Exports Lookup tables in .cube format for import into other color grading applications.
- Save Preset: Customize individual color effect settings and save them as presets. In the Save Preset dialog box, specify a name for your preset. If desired, enter a description. For more information, see Create and save an effect preset.
Install Custom LUT files
Once you have exported a LUT file, you can install them into other applications. In Premiere Pro, custom LUT files appear in the Lumetri Color panel. LUTs from other applications or to support cameras can also be installed so that they are available in Premiere Pro.
To install a custom LUT file, create one or more of the directories listed below:
Available only to the local user:
From the macOS Finder, select Go > Go to Folder and enter this path: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs. This location contains two folders: Input and Output. 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.
You can also create the following folders to store LUTs:
- ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Creative - LUTs stored here appear in Lumetri Color > Creative > Look.
- ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Technical - LUTs stored here appear in Lumetri Color > Basic Correction > Input LUT.
Available to 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.
Available only to the local user:
On Windows, LUTs are stored in the C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs\ location. This location contains two folders: Input and Output. 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.
You can also create the following folders to store LUTs:
- C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Creative - LUTs stored here appear in Lumetri Color > Creative > Look.
- C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Technical - LUTs stored here appear in Lumetri Color > Basic Correction > 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.
