A few problems I'm having with Lumetri Color panel

[Offbeat Bryce Productions]

Hello,

I'm currently using version 2018 CC. I for some reason can't seem to apply an adjustment layer for color with lumetri panel if there are fades on clips. What happens is the adjustment layer will not show the color effect when the clips below it transition. Meaning once the clip starts to transition with a cross dissolve etc the adjustment layer above any of those clips will cross dissolve but without the color adjust applied. As soon as the cross dissolve is finished the adjustment layer kicks back in.

If I apply the same lumetri color effect to the two clips that are cross dissolved together the color works fine. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to use an adjustment layer and have it recognize cross fades?

Another issue I'm having is when I apply a preset LUT. I can apply it fine but almost every time after I save the project and reopen it another time the applied LUT that should be there is not. Like it's not even in the list anymore.

Interesting problems.

I've used adjustment layers above scenes of clips with dissolves, and can't replicate that situation. So I'm thinking on that one. I wonder if you switch from Mercury Acceleration options to software only, if it works better ... ?

As to LUTs going away ... for the 2018 release, they came out with a process to navigate to a specific location on the system, manually create Technical and Creative folders there, and place your LUTs in those folders ... then they show up in the dropdown in Basic tab and dropdown/preview window in Creative tab in alphabetical order.

Are you using that process? Are you putting LUTs in the program folder/package folder?

Quick question R Neil Haugen​

When you install an upgrade like cc2019, do you preserve your preferences from the previous version?

Yes. And it's been changed ... FINALLY!!!! ... so it defaults to leaving previous versions alone and installed.

It will install without affecting earlier versions but will add your preferences, keyboard shortcuts and all.

I'm using the LUTS from the basic tab and then they go away one by one it seems after I use them once and save and then quit the program.

Still having the issue with the Adjustment layer thing. I looked at it again and it creates this weird flash like thing when the transitions happen when there is an adjustment layer but the same color lumetri applied directly to the two clips themselves don't do this.

Where are your LUTs located?

[Offbeat Bryce Productions]

they should be where they are when I installed premeire I did not move them. I never have. I just select the premade ones built into lumetri creative tab etc

[R Neil Haugen]

So you're having this trouble with the ones that come with PrPro? Ouch!

If you do a manual save (Ctrl/Cmd-S) after applying a LUT, close then return,  they aren't sticking?

This is strange. The LUTS issue is fixed in premiere 2019. Very odd. Still can’t get the adjustment layer thing to work.

Still puzzled about the adjustment layer thing.

Out of the office, might be in today (Saturday) for a bit, probably not. So I'll try to test this next time I'm at my rig. But I've done Lumetri via adjustment layers without troubles in transitions before.

Have you tried the multiple layers of Lumetri controls on a clip now? In 2019, I don't see the reason for using Lumetri via adjustment layer except for layering over a scene or project 'look' over groups of clips.

The ability to apply multiple Lumetri via that drop-down box at the top, name for what work you're doing, and pop forth & back depending on what you want to work is slick and much easier to handle things like moving clips around when you don't have to keep two layers together.

BryceD,

Sorry. Likely this is a render pipeline issue. I would wager that the problem would be quashed if you nested the underlying clips containing transitions, then add the adjustment layer with the Lumetri color effects. Does that work for you? Let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin
