Some Input LUTS and Looks not appearing in drop-down menus after adding

Question

Hi there,

In Lumetri Color of Premiere Pro version 25.3.0, I have pasted my .cube files for Input LUTS into the folder at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2025\Lumetri\LUTs\Technical. They appear in the Input LUT drop-down menu under Basic Correction, but when I go to select them I can't and it defaults to another one from the end of list.

Same thing happens in the Creative section under Look. I pasted my .cube files into the folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2025\Lumetri\LUTs\Creative. Some are selectable in the list as they should be, but some at the end of the drop down menu list are unselectable as I desctibed for the Basic Correction.

How do I get the LUTS/Looks to be selectable? Is this a bug?

My .cube files are from a pretty reliable third party source.

Thank you!

Do not ever add LUTs into the Program's Lumetri/LUTs folder! EVER! Why? The app only scans that folder by relative location in the folder, not by LUT name! So it goes for "5th LUT down" not "Abracadabra Teal Orange" ... as it only expects the original LUT files to be in that folder. They have a chart in the User Help documentation for LUT placements, there are two different places users can put them and the app will scan those folders at startup and add them to the appropriate lists. One is something like:Users/<Username>/Roaming/Adobe/Common/LUTs, the other is Program (package) Files/Adobe/COMMON/LUTs ... I use the latter and have for years. Then you need to add in the following folders at those locations ...Input for Input LUT use in color management options;Technical for Basic tab use in Lumetri;Creative for Creative tab use in Lumetri. After adding those folders in the chosen (above) location, CLOSE Premiere, and relaunch. It will scan and add those to the dropdown lists on restarting.
