Question

How do I batch apply a LUT to an entire bin of source clips?

Does anyone know how to do this? I created a bin with a bin of clips all shot in LOG on the same camera. Now I want to apply the LUT to all clips in that bin, so that the LUT is automatically applied whenever I use those clips in any timeline. As of know, all I know how to do is goto the project panel, double click the first clip to open it in the source monitor, then goto Lumetri, browse for the LUT cube file on my desktop, and poof, It's applied. Then I went into Effects Controls on that clip, copied the Lumetri effect, then went and foundf the second clip in my project panel, opened it in the source monitor, then navigated to the effects controls tab, and then pasted the Lumetri effect. And on and on it goes. There's got to be a way to batch this. I know that if the clips are in a timeline, I can simply select them all, then navigate to the timeline Effects Controls panel and hit paste to apply to all, but of course, I want to do this for the "global" source clips, not a singular instance of them in any given timeline., Please and thanks!

and one follow up question. once i import the LUT, does it need to stay on my harddrive going forward, or does that cube file get baked into premiere somwhere, and then i can delete the file cube file i downloaded?

Hi @Jeena22389650a1ho,

I read your note. You have the technique down right. Have you tried copy/pasting the Lumetri effect to multiple selected clips in the Project panel? If that doesn't work, perhaps you need to include the LUT in your Premiere Pro install. Place LUTs here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-premiere-pro-lumetri-color-custom-lut-directory-and-location/td-p/4785911

 

Yes, the LUT needs to be on your computer, either in the file structure so it can be browsed or included in the installation, which I just gave you info about. Try a test out ans see if it works and come back with any questions. I hope the info helps.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply. So I cannot apply LUT to an entire bin of footage at once? It needs to be done manually, clip by clip? This is quite surprising if so.
