LUT auto applied to Sony Venice .mxf files on import in Premiere

Having an issue with a feature film that was shot on the Sony Venice. Whenever I import the raw .mxf files into Premiere Pro (2020) it seems to be auto-applying a LUT to the footage. Solutions like the Amira Lumetri workaround, and "disable masterclip effects" aren't relevant and don't solve the problem.

Looking for help with this. Thanks!

I found a solution that worked for me to switch lots of Sony Venice footage to s-log 3 all at once.

First, select any of your clips, open up Effects Controls, change the color space to s-log3, then right click the 'Sony RAW MXF Source Setting', copy, highlight the rest of your footage, right click and paste. I had to right click to copy and paste. Using hotkeys didn't work for some reason. Hope that helps!

Not sure if you figured this out yet, but I ran into this issue too and found a solution:

In the project panel, select all your venice clips NOT including any folders. Right Click - "Source Settings" and change from Rec709 to "S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3" or whichever color space you want.

Not sure why the method of disabling master clip effects is different for some cameras but whatever Sony!!

I'm having the same problem. Nothing happens when I do this.

Found it, "Interpret Footage>Color Space Override: Switch to Rec. 709"

For all those interested, I found the solution!

After you bring your clip into the timeline, click on "Effect Controls" and there will be two tabs. Click on the "Master * [clip_name]" tab and there should be a control setting that looks like this:

Click the dropdown menu and select "S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3". As far as I can tell, this only works after it is in the timeline, and it won't work when looking at the "Source" window for the clip. This also means you will need to go in and manually select this setting for every clip in the timeline. But at least it's something. If someone has a way to apply this setting to all the clips, please feel free to share. (Copy/Paste Attributes does not work.)

Oh, I assumed you'd checked the Master Clip tab, my bad! For the meta-heavy RAW and Log pro cameras, Premiere often has a Master Clip setting for their specific format. My BMPCC4K BRAW is handled via the MC tab also.

A "Master Clip" setting will apply across all uses of that clip in any timeline in the project. It is best used to set a 'neutral' view of the clip, so that you can then do any further corrections in the normal manner using the regular clip tab.

If you need to set a different MC properties setting for some uses, then you would duplicate the clip in the Project/Bin, and to the duplicate clip reference you can make changes to the MC settings that would apply to any use of that duplicated clip.

Check the Media Properties in the Project panel. Right-click the clip, then select Modify/Interpret Footage. That's where they've moved input LUTs and color space options to.

This is the only thing that comes up when right clicking Modify > Interpret Footage:

Huh, wonder if @Kevin-Monahan might be able to help with this?

Does anyone have any additional information on this? I have the exact same issue as described, and I've tried Premiere 2020 with both a Windows 10 PC, as well as a 2018 Macbook Pro. The LUT is always auto-applied, even when converting the raw .mxf files into proxies through Media Encoder.

I can confirm the Sony Venice files are raw and there should be no LUT applied because they open up just fine as raw files in the Sony RAW Viewer.
