ALL LUTS DELETED IN NEW PREMIERE PRO 22 UPDATE

Hi there 

Premiere pro has updated to v 22 and has deleted all my LUT files and grade from a film I need to deliver. Is there a fix for this?????????

You need to ask program questions in the forum for the program you are using

For starters, if Premiere automatically updated then do yourself a solid and go into the Creative Cloud panel and turn off automatic updates. that way you have to manually choose to update an application. Also be sure to uncheck the "delete older versions" option as well, that way you'll be sure to keep a backup of the older versions (you can can have multiple yearly releasses instaleed simultaneously. 

Now, on to your problem: what version of Premiere were you working in? If it was the prior release (cc21 -- v15) you can download that again from Creative Cloud. You should have a copy of your project that was not converted to v22, or else a prior autosave. I would finish your project in the version you started it in to avoid issues like this.

This sounds like you had placed your LUTs in the Premiere Pro program LUTs folder? Because that would certainly get this behavior, if you upgraded by removing the previous version, rather than adding it. And if so, the problem is that unfornate choice. If that is not the case here, ignore the rest of this post.

But I've seen many posts identical to this one over the years, and they had all put their LUTs in the Premiere program folders. Hence my assumption here.

Users should NEVER EVER put their LUTs in the Premiere, AfterEffects, or MediaEncoder program folders. The ones in there are used not by name, but by relative position in the folder when searched by a computer-alphbetized listing. And assumed to be the same as the list in the other two programs.

They have a chart that has the locations that users should store their LUTs in, that Premiere/Ae/Me always check on launch, and will be used for those apps if you use the Basic or Creative tab LUT slots to access them. And do not change with changing versions of the programs.

I put mine in the Programs/Adobe/Common/LUTs folder, in folders I created called Technical and Creative. The Teck folder is seen by Basic, the Creative by Creative. Same folder used by every Pr version on my computers from Pr2015 on.
