LUTs presets don't fully appear in Premiere Pro 2019

Windows 10

Adobe Premiere Pro 2019


I purchase 1947+ PREMIUM LUTS pack from Studio Planet, only around 200 LUTs presets appear. There's no way to see & choose the rest 😞

 

Copy LUTs to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Creative. They just don't appear all in the drop down menu.

 

Please any suggestion?

John's correct.

 

I'm a contributing author over at MixingLight.com, a pro colorist's teaching website. I work daily with Resolve and with colorists around the world based in Resolve and Baselight. And I don't know a colorist that has nearly that many LUTs loaded in their systems.

 

In the amount of time you take to scroll through and test that many LUTs, you could have hand-built your grade for your show look. And have something you know works with the media involved.

 

So ... load a couple hundred in Premiere. Spend some time working through that list, testing each with several very different shots. See which ones you like, and put the 'keepers' in one folder, the others in another. Go through the list.

 

Then with may 20-50 keepers, you'll have a usable, manageable list. And won't waste your own time when editing.

get a lut gallery plugin. also, i don't know if you can format folders inside premiere, that may allow it to parse larger number of luts.

    That may just be too many LUTS for the program to handle. I don't think it was designed to hold that many; I've only added a couple dozen or so, tops. 

    I don't know how much colro grading you do, but even 200 LUTS is probably more than anyone needs. You honestly only need a handful with a few special one-offs for special effects. Personally I would use a third-party tool to preview your LUT collection and use that to pick out a few key looks.
