Dynamic Link LUTs not transferring to After Effects

Hi there,

 

When I try to import my premier pro project into after effects using all sequences and transferring all my clips over, After Effects asks for the location of the LUTs for every single clip Lumetri colour uses. This isn't the case with LUTs built into Lumetri. It is fine obviously when I have imported the sequence as one whole composition, but not when I want to edit every clip individually in after effects. This is problematic as I have to premier open at the same time and edit between both. Is there a fix around this?

 

Thanks,

Ryan

    In the same situation. I took the time to add the LUTs so it's in the Premiere Pro dropdown, and still it's not shared between the same Adobe-to-Adobe ecosystem/workflow? How can they not see that the apps should be able to bring over all needed details of a clip? Adobe: find a solution.

     

    Other thoughts:

    Adobe: the system you set up is one of, if not THE greatest flow-killing part of my process.

    This day and age for LUTs, color correction, and/or color grading (and everything really), if it's not seamless it's an impediment to workflow, flow, creativity, and productivity. And Adobe's solutions are not seamless, requiring our energy and creativity to be expended in file management and workarounds (in their own apps!) because Adobe isn't interested in solving this. Meanwhile in blackmagic's davinci resolve there are at least 3 different workflow solutions for this, all in their one app, and in just a handful of steps, done.

      What gets me if you don't have a LUT in the common directory, and it asks for LUTs it doesn't tell you which LUT it is asking for, so if you use more than one LUT you are really in trouble. And yea if it is the same LUT it should just use the one you selected, or give the option to ignore the LUT and stop asking for every edit.

        And often I don't want a LUT in the shared directory. I often will throw a clip into DaVinci and do a much faster and quicker color correction than I can do in Premiere and export the LUT. It will only be used for this project. All I ask is that After Effects tells me which LUT it is looking for.

        You must be sure the LUTs to be included in the shared directory for After Effects to be able to apply the same LUT you are using in Adobe Premiere Pro.

        LUTs are already in the commons folder and can be selected within after effects. 

        Still the issue persists.
