Use assets stored in Creative Cloud Libraries

Last updated on Apr 2, 2026

Learn about how you can use assets and Looks from Libraries in Adobe Premiere to enhance your video editing project.

In Premiere, the Libraries panel makes it easy to access and apply creative assets directly to your projects. Whether it’s dragging a saved graphic element into your timeline or applying a custom Look to refine your footage, Libraries streamline your workflow.

Graphic element

You can use a graphic saved in your library by dragging the graphic element from the Libraries panel into the Project or Timeline panel, or right-click the graphic and select Add to Project. Premiere imports the graphic element as a project item and creates a default duration still-image clip in the timeline.

Look

You can apply a Look saved in your library by dragging the Look from the Libraries panel onto an item in the Project or Timeline panel.

Drag a Look to timeline

  • When you drag a Look from the Libraries panel onto a clip in the timeline, a new Lumetri Color effect is added to the timeline. If a Lumetri Color effect exists on that track, the existing Lumetri Color effect is updated with the new Look.
  • If the track item is visible in the Program Monitor, the effect is rendered.
  • A Lumetri Color effect is added to the Effect Controls panel.

Alternatively, you can also select a clip in the sequence, right-click the look in the library, and choose Apply Look.

Drag a Look to the Project panel

  • When you drag a Look from the Libraries panel to a project item in the Project panel, a Lumetri Color effect is applied to the master clip.
  • If the track item is visible in the Source Monitor, the effect is rendered.
  • A Lumetri Color effect is added to the master clip in the Effect Controls panel.
Note
  • When you drag a Look that has a .cube filename extension, the Input LUT field under the Basic Correction section of the Lumetri Color panel is set to that Look.
  • When you drag a Look that has a .look filename extension, the Look field under the Creative section of the Lumetri Color panel is set to that Look.
