Can't choose LUTs after a certain point in List

I have about 100 creative LUTs.

I can only choose down to about M in my list.

Chosing anything beyond that doesn't work.

Is there a limit to how many can be installed? If so, why?

Did we ever find a solution to this? In my 26.2.2 I cannot choose any Input LUT underneath the first 8! It is not usable in this current state and I am unsure what the solution is.

The first question for this is always ...where are you putting those LUTs very specifically. I trust not in the Program files/Premiere/Lumetri/LUTs path?

Where else can you put them?

I’m getting the same issue in 26.0.2. I can select only first 65 LUTs

Yea, there’s a limit, though they don’t publish what it is.

I work for/with/teach pro colorsts, it’s the main group I visit with at NAB every year ... I’ve built a ton of LUTs over time ... but that said, I can’t see when I’d ever have that many LUTs in current use. Though we all work differently.

I can build a look faster than I can sort through a long list and try 2-3 LUTs ... so ... again, we’re all different.

But yeah, they should allow a much easier, more obvious way to handle LUTs in Premiere period.

There is a limit as to how many user LUTs Premiere will load. I don't know an exact figure, but it is limited.

We all work differently, and I know some others really prefer looking through long LUT options. For me, I can get it looking as I want faster by just doing it than looking at 50 LUTs. But then, I've spent a lot of time doing the grading, in both Resolve and Premiere, and I've got a Tangent Elements control surface.

I like to do the grading, and for many, that is a painful thing to try. Hence ... many LUT options, like you have.

For those like unto you, and there are many out there! ... they should allow more user LUTs, and I've argued for years that they should allow users to sub-locate LUTs by specific folders within a Lumetri tab.

So you could have a subfolder of Cool Looks, Warm Looks, 70's Looks, whatever ... and quickly browse a specific set of LUTs.

THAT would be an awesome upgrade.
