    Hi Martin,

    With 12.1, there is a new feature related to color correction and the Lumetri Color panel for adding LUTs to your editing system much more easily than before.

    In the past, users had to add a single LUT at a time for any custom LUTs or packages of multiple LUTs. This became quite cumbersome in a good number of workflows and lead to unexpected behavior when users added LUTs incorrectly via hacking the app package.

    This feature allows you to create a location for adding LUTs to Premiere Pro and other Adobe video applications en masse. For this feature to function properly, you will need to create specific folders in your computer before importing LUTs into them. In general, create the folders as follows:

                • Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs
                  • /Creative
                  • /Technical
                • Win: \Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs
                  • \Creative
                  • \Technical

    Place LUTs in these folders, restart the application, and they will appear as you’d expect in the Lumetri Color panel and elsewhere, like in the Lumetri Color effect in After Effects.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Hello friends, I have a new very unusual problem, it seems that exedido default limits premiere looks, in my folder looks now I have many .Look presets but in my premiere in Lumetri not see them at all.

    They know if there is a limit of looks or how to fix this?

    What do you mean by "so?"  This is a continuation of a previous post and you're linking the two with so, which means therefore?

    I just started working with V-LOG and would love to add .cube LUTs to Premiere Pro. I can live without the preview (although that would be great), but loading LUTs one at a time from the Mac's Finder is way too slow.

    Has anyone figured out the path yet for Mac users?  I can't seem to find it...

    On MAC, it's inside the app package.

    NOTE: As of CC 2017 (12.1): Please do not add looks inside the app package any more. There is a new folder you can make see the release notes for details or scroll down in this thread.

    so i played around with the lut/looks folders. i added a .cube lut and couldn't get it to appear in the "creative" lumetri menu in premiere, no matter where i placed it. i did get the .cube luts to appear under "basic correction" pulldown menu from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015\Lumetri\LUTs\Technical".

    i then tried a .look lut and it did show under the "creative" pulldown menu. so it appears as if that menu is limited to .look files. if you have .cube you can try a converter or try to use speedgrade to convert. then place the .look files in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015\Lumetri\Looks\Cine Looks". if you dont want to convert your .cube files, then you would have to place them in the luts\technical folder and use the "basic correction" pulldown menu.

    if you want to load up the speedgrade lumetri looks that were in the effects panel in cc2014 but seem to be gone in cc2015, copy them from here "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe SpeedGrade CC 2015\Look Examples\Style" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2015\Lumetri\Looks\Cine Looks".

    NOTE: As of CC 2017 (12.1): Please do not add looks inside the app package any more. There is a new folder you can make see the release notes for details or scroll down in this thread.

    I would also love to see a way to import (e.g.) Osiris LUTs into the dropdown (and therefore the preview window) of the new Lumetri-color-panel! So far the preview works amazing and the workflow is just incredible faster than if I had to klick on brows, browse for a LUT apply it and do the same over again if I don't like it...
