Very simple and disappointing problem for a long time. For example if I select clip with color correction that using LUTs and use command Replace With AF Composition then AF asking me to locate this LUT manually. It's not hard if I'm using this command for one clip with one LUT. But if I apply several LUTs  then AF wanted from me to find every LUT manually. And even more, AF don't tell me what LUT do I need to find. He just telling on import "select a LUT", but what LUT, what name of the LUT... nothing.

This type of issue happens most commonly when the LUTs aren't stored in the proper locations. For instance, by adding LUTs to the Premiere or AfterEffects program/package folders. NOT good.

 

So first, make sure the LUTs are stored in the proper folders ... this chart shows the appropriate places. Note: you do need to make the Technical and Creative folders at the end of this folder-tree, as for some reason they don't create those by the program. The Technical folder will be accessed by the Basic tab of Lumetri, the Creative folder by the Creative tab. And similarly in Ae.

 

Premiere will display them in the drop-down boxes along with the included ones, in computerese alpha-numeric order. So I add a prefix to mine, either like 1 or A so mine are displayed first, grouped by my own choices.
