Media Encoder CC 2015 Not rendering Lumetri effects

Ive tried the following with Red Raw, Pro Res and  .mp4 footage.  If I add a Lumetri Color effect to a clip or adjustment layer and queue the timeline to Media encoder, no color effects show up on the final compressed file. The only way to get the color effect to show up is to bypass media compressor entirely and export directly from Premiere which stops me from working in Premiere. This is one of many issues I have had with this VERY buggy release. Anybody else experiencing this issue?

Could have been the LUT I created with SG that is causing the problem? I have upload it to google, please take a look?

These were created on 19 June

I was using the exactly the same workflow(PR->SG( create LUT)--PR(apply as input lut adjustment layer/on clip) ->AME    on 14 April 2016 and I did not notice any error. Hardware is New MACPRO 6core (with full MAX upgrade options)

Latching on.  I've actually never run into this issue because I typically don't find the LUTs useful.  I used one though on something that I wanted to look way too heavy handed, and lo and behold I get nothing on the export.  Have tried everything in this thread, I'm still not getting anything.  I'm actually getting A TINY BIT of LUT because when I move the sliders around my exports look different, but they're not outputting anything like what I'm seeing in Premiere.  I'm also not getting what I'm seeing with a Premiere export either.  And we're also saying Premiere 2015.3 hasn't fixed anything?  Wow.  Thank god I'm paying all this money to rent software with major features that don't even work.  That whole thing where Adobe said the subscription model would allow them to work on bugs more sure hasn't panned out has it?

For what it's worth... I finally found this thread after pulling my hair out when none of the LUTs applied were visible on export no matter the format.  Turns out the simple fix was to copy/paste same LUTs into Media Encoder/After Effects folders.  I should've known better... after all I used some LUT from DELUTS and the create specifically instructed to have those copied across all apps you send your files to.

Anyway, worked for me.  I'm working on the late 2013 MB Pro with latest Adobe CC as of today.

[jsolterbeck]

Yeah, that's not working for some of us.  I'm on 2015.3 now, and nothing has changed.  I'm getting different looks than what I see in the program window.  To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm seeing.  The exports don't seem to be be "dry", they've got something applied, but it's not what I'm seeing within Premiere by any means.  I've tried using the Effects added on the export, I've tried export from Premiere, Export from AME, moving things around in the myriad of folders Adobe sprays all over, and I'm getting different results all over the place but never what I have inside PP.  Not sure what to try or where I'm even at.

I just updated, now to Premiere 2017 and I still lose my LUT with Media Encoder.  It works just fine exporting out of Premiere.  This is a major oversight on Adobe's part.

So the fix for this in CC 2017 is to also copy across the Lumetric>LUTs>Technical folder from Premiere to Media Encoder. As well as the Looks folder mentioned on page 1 of this thread.

This worked for me at least anyway. Running Windows 10 and Adobe CC 2017.

Hope that helps people out.

If you copied custom luts to Premiere->Contents->Lumetri->LUTs you have to do the same for Media encoder... it works!

So after 5 hrs "on the web", I might have a solution which is not really a solution but a fact. Have any of you tried uploading your videos on youtube or watching when on other pc's?

In my case, it's the graphics card (I have Intel 530) and when uploading to youtube the video has all the color corrections/adjustments it had in Premiere. Don't really know what to do tho.

Had this issue when exporting sequences from Premiere to Media Encoder. LUTs applied using the Lumetri effect panel were not rendering in AME. And even worse, sometimes AME could not find a LUT and substituted one of the preloaded LUTs. As suggested in this thread, ensuring that Premiere and AME both have the same LUTs stored in the App folders does solve the issue. But if you move the project to another machine, the problem is back. The "problem" is that many of us are used to working in Davinci Resolve where you load LUTs into a designated app folder. Adobe Premiere technically does not support adding to the  LUTs that come preloaded in the Premirer/Content/Lumetri/LUTs folder. The "fix" is to simply load your LUTs differently. In the Lumetri color panel, load LUTs and Looks by selecting Custom or Browse in the pulldown menu and navigate to where you have the LUT saved. If you work with multiple editors or move the projects, the path to the LUT has to remain the same. Most DPs save LUTs in a folder along side their footage. Yes, it's a drag if you use the same LUTs all the time. But I'm in the habit of coping LUTs into the project folders, if the DP or colorist hasn't already done so, and simply loading them when needed.

I had very much the same issue. It turned out that in Media Encoder is was using Apple's Metal GPU engine and not OpenCL. Switching to OpenCL rendered the video with LUT on.

[AlexClaude]

Wow it has been 3 f****** years since the problem was reported in this post....and STILL the LUTs are not applied in Media Encoder if put on a adjustment layer.... ADOBE WHAT THE HELL?? If we have large volume of small videos to export daily, what do we do??? We stay next to our computer because we have to manually export each of the videos using Premiere (which by the way stops us of working on other videos while exporting) ??

[NickPapps]

With the recent update to Premiere Pro/Media Encoder I'm having this issue again. I tried putting the AME LUTs I regularly use in the same folder structure as I have them in Premiere, but it's not working.

Has anyone solved this?

[JayLocke]

Try this.

Adobe Premiere technically does not support adding to the  LUTs that come preloaded in the Premirer/Content/Lumetri/LUTs folder.The "fix" is to simply load your LUTs differently. Save your LUTs in a folder next to your footage. In the Lumetri color panel, load LUTs and Looks by selecting Custom or Browse in the pulldown menu and navigate to where you saved the LUTs.  Now export in Media Encoder.

Yes, I have this exact issue and it's incredibly frustrating. If I export using 'queue' and sending to AME, all colour grading (using Lumetri) doesn't work. If I do it through Premiere Pro, then it works fine. This is 28th June 2017.

This issue only started happening in the latest update to CC.

UPDATE:

After trying the options on this forum, this is what I found:

1. Copying LUTs over to AME folder did nothing in my case. Problem still there.

2. Going to AME preferences and turning OFF "import sequences natively" seems to have done the trick. For now. Sequences are exporting to AME and carrying over LUT/Lumetri information.

Got the same issue. It's July of 2017. Why is this still broken after 2 years? Why am I paying monthly for this?

Vignette in Lumetri is not exporting.  If I park on the image, I can see it, but it does not export, even if I export via Premiere.

Strange as Adobe is usually more responsive for an issue that has been going on for 3 years.

[JayLocke]

STOP saving LUTs in the Premirer/Content/Lumetri/LUTs folder as suggested here and elsewhere on the internet! That's for Premiere's pre-installed LUTs ONLY. Save LUTs anywhere else. Then, load LUTs in the Lumetri color panel by selecting Custom or Browse in the pulldown menu. If you are having issues exporting in Media encoder, copy your LUTs into a folder next to your media, step back into Premiere and reload ALL LUTs in the sequence. Media Encoder is loosing the path to your LUTs.

Also with Premiere CC 2017 (latest version) the problem continues. All proposed solutions can only be short-term solutions. It's a BUG and that since 2015!

[Gabofilms]

It's incredibly frustrating. I have this exact issue since the last update again....

[Department4]

I am getting this same issue in Media Encoder v 2017.1.2

I have an adjustment layer with a Lumetri preset over some Arri Alexa 2k footage. When I export with Media Encoder, it ignores the Lumetri preset on the Adjustment layer.

When I export from Premiere, it uses the Adjustment Layer and the look is applied.

Can't believe this is still an issue! Makes Media Encoder virtually useless for my workflow.

[Velezjc]

A problem still arises. if you add any effect to the master clip it will not render out in media encoder. only exported in Premiere Pro.

[praxis2018]

Not fixed three years later, same problem

[Megan May · Accepted solution]

here's the workaround:

In Media Encoder Preferences > General > Premiere Pro > Uncheck "Import sequences natively"

[annyufish]

Thanks alot, ur solution works for me!

[Jonathan Newman]

Thank you this seems to be the solution!!
