Media Encoder CC 2017 Not rendering Lumetri effects

thanx, how is this not stickied???

5 years later and i STILL have thad his same problem - took me 3 days to find this answer... 

I just tried this.  It works fine for me.

IF you are on a mac, you'll have to put your luts in the encoder folder area.  One way to ensure this is to simply move those to a common area, and symlink to them when you want them shared.  Put all your lut structure into a single top level folder, and where secondary folders match, merge the contents.  They should be roughly the same lut for the same name, just included for different apps.  Now you can create a symbolic link in each folder structure of adobe apps.  Remove the other folders, and symlink them to where they match in your common LUT folder you just created.  Open the apps.  You should have access to all your LUTS.

In windows, I found that I had to run as administrator every adobe app that I wished to interface with other apps.  I also found that .CUBE luts worked better than lumetri file .LOOK, for whatever reason.  I think that AME can read the CUBE format with more ease than the .LOOK in instances where I color graded and wanted other same cam\same light shots to have the same balance.  I was also able to get other cameras to match afterward, when I used the newly transcoded clip and used the matching feature.  Some had other issues like color space mismatches but they still came out great after a run through lumetri.  Speedgrade is great for when you're creating a whole new look, but lumetri is the boss when you're matching shot for shot.  Remember, .CUBE is older, but .LOOK is newer.  Not all of it's features are fully functional in all apps yet.  I was able to load the .CUBE from any drive i saved to, not just the location in encoder's luts.

I just finished an overnight render where I used input LUTS in Lumetri Color. None of the videos rendered the LUT and the entire project was a waste of time. Why is this BUG still here? Please report this to Media Encoder: Hot (174 ideas) – Adobe video & audio apps

To intstall LUTS manualy to the media encoder app - open the Apps folder. Right Click on The Media Encoder App and chose Show Package Contents. In this folder look for the Lumetri folder. Inside that you will find the LUTS folder, Inside that you will see the Technical folder. Copy all your LUTS into the technical folder and restart the app. Make sure you recheck the import natively in the preferences.

Thank you @Riot Media

Adobe - Why are the LUT's not in a common folder shared by Premiere, AME and After Effects?
