Last updated on
Apr 2, 2026
Learn how to add a look to the Creative Cloud library in Adobe Premiere.
You can save color grading information that you applied to a clip as a Look and if you want to, you can upload it to your library.
Ensure that the Lumetri Color panel is in focus and a Lumetri effect is applied to the clip.
Select the Add Look icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel.
A Look file is created with the same name as the selected clip. The uploaded Look is displayed as a thumbnail in the Libraries panel.
