How to delete default LUTs

[John34495747l9tu]

Hi all, I cannot for the life of me find the folder path to remove these default LUTs that I had installed. Is there any route or method I can use in order to locate them and remove? Taking up a bunch of space scrolling through 50-60 of them just to use the 10-20 that I actually use.

First, I hope you don't add anything to that folder. Nothing but pain can occur.

Because Premiere accesses those by relative sort order in the folder. NOT BY THE FILE NAME!

So you apply a LUT that happens to be the 15th LUT via computer alphanumeric sorting. Maybe it's called BlueMonday.

Premiere only sees it as the 15th LUT down.

Now add a LUT to that folder, that sorts previous to it, say AlphaBlue.

Now Premiere still applies the 15th LUT, but it's not the BlueMonday LUT anymore, is it?

And anyway, even if you hadn't added another LUT sorting earlier than BlueMonday, but exported from MediaEncoder?

Unless you added BlueMonday to the same folder of Me, you'll get the 15th LUT in Me's folder.

So do not mess with those folders! They have a chart in the documentation that tells you the location users can add LUTs to so that Premiere uses them correctly across all three apps, Premiere, AfterEffects, and Me.

Use those locations. Period.

I have the new folders created following the instructions for importing new LUTs so it's seperate from those already in there, from the chart like you said.

My problem is I want to remove the ones in the library but I don't know how. I am newer to this side of things so forgive me, I just don't want those LUTs that I will never use to be in there taking up space

In that case, they're in Premiere Pro x.x folder tree, Lumetri/LUTS ...

I'm assuming there is not a possible way to locate a file path through premiere pro, because I just tried searching through all of my files and found no luck going through the premiere pro folders either.

I've had previous versions over the last few years so I think everything is jumbled up and all out of whack

If you are on a mac might need to go into hidden files.

[John34495747l9tu]

I am on windows unfortunately. I might just have to live with it and learn to love those LUTs haha

If you follow Neils path you will find the luts (creative folder).

[John34495747l9tu]

I am not sure if these are the correct file paths, but neither of them had another folder within them in regards to LUTs or Lumetri. Is there a way to reset Premiere Pro to complete default or would I need to find and delete and uninstall all assets and files for Premiere Pro and redownload to have it fresh?

[R Neil Haugen]

You aren't in the Premiere Pro folder tree there. You're off in Users/documents.

[John34495747l9tu]

Are you able to send a full file path? I sent two screenshots with seperate file paths, the first one being through program files. Not sure where else the files could be

[R Neil Haugen]

Program Files/Adobe/Premiere Pro X.x/Lumetri/LUTs ... the x.x is because each numerical version has it's own folder, of course.

[John34495747l9tu]

I believe my downloads and files are all out of whack, as seen on the screenshot I dont even have a folder for Premiere Pro! The Common folder down below is where I was able to import my personal LUTs but other than that, no luck.

[R Neil Haugen]

Wherever you told your computer to "park" the Premiere Pro program files, that's where that folder will be.

A folder that happens to have a PrPro icon..................

[John34495747l9tu]

Wow I am so embarrassed, I thought that was just the actual application.... My apologies for the long thread of time wasting 

[R Neil Haugen]

Nothing to be worried about ... they park stuff all over the freaking computer, why should we assume anything is pretty much anywhere? One of the gripes I bring up every NAB ...  😉
