How do I batch apply a LUT to an entire bin of source clips?

Does anyone know how to do this? I created a bin with a bin of clips all shot in LOG on the same camera. Now I want to apply the LUT to all clips in that bin, so that the LUT is automatically applied whenever I use those clips in any timeline. As of know, all I know how to do is goto the project panel, double click the first clip to open it in the source monitor, then goto Lumetri, browse for the LUT cube file on my desktop, and poof, It's applied. Then I went into Effects Controls on that clip, copied the Lumetri effect, then went and foundf the second clip in my project panel, opened it in the source monitor, then navigated to the effects controls tab, and then pasted the Lumetri effect. And on and on it goes. There's got to be a way to batch this. I know that if the clips are in a timeline, I can simply select them all, then navigate to the timeline Effects Controls panel and hit paste to apply to all, but of course, I want to do this for the "global" source clips, not a singular instance of them in any given timeline., Please and thanks!

and one follow up question. once i import the LUT, does it need to stay on my harddrive going forward, or does that cube file get baked into premiere somwhere, and then i can delete the file cube file i downloaded?

Hi @Jeena22389650a1ho,

I read your note. You have the technique down right. Have you tried copy/pasting the Lumetri effect to multiple selected clips in the Project panel? If that doesn't work, perhaps you need to include the LUT in your Premiere Pro install. Place LUTs here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/faq-premiere-pro-lumetri-color-custom-lut-directory-and-location/td-p/4785911

Yes, the LUT needs to be on your computer, either in the file structure so it can be browsed or included in the installation, which I just gave you info about. Try a test out ans see if it works and come back with any questions. I hope the info helps.

Thanks,

Kevin

Of course you can! But LUTs are applied via inclusion in a Lumetri panel, right?

So simply add the LUT preferably to the Creative tab LUT slot so you can trim clips into the LUT with the basic tab controls if needed. And of course, the LUT should be in the appropriate locations for user LUTs, and NOT in the same folders as the Premiere LUTs are stored in.

Now save that Lumetri instance as a preset.

Then select any clips you want, entire bins even. Drag/drop that preset onto the selection of clips.

Done.

@R Neil Haugen @Kevin-Monahan,

I just completed a trip where I shot in log for the first time. And I am now in the workflow learning curve. I found this thread trying to apply a lut to all the clips in a timeline. As I recall when I was only paying little attention, things have been changing. And the help documents do not appear up to date. I'm still on Win10.

To apply an input lut to multiple clips at once, select them in the Project Panel, right-click, Modify -> Color -> Input Lut. Adding a LUT here puts the LUT into the single user location for reuse, even creating the Input folder.

The helpx article for luts and looks is here, but does not mention Input luts:

The article that deals with applying input luts to source media is under Source Clip color settings here, but does not mention the method for adding LUTs for reuse.
