Installing Luts in Premiere Pro 2025 (All Articles Do Not Lead To Correct Place)

[jruzic3186]

Hello All,

I have read articles from Adobe and followed the steps, and previously had been able to install luts to show up in the Lumetri panel (I speak of third party Luts).

However with this new versions of 2025 I cannot find the folder to install the Luts. I do have the Luts that come from adobe appearing in Lumetri.

Has there been a change for 2025? 

Thanks everyone and yes I know this is such a basic question, but I have spent already 30+ minutes to no avail, and this should have been a five minute process like every other time I had done this.

A lot of the time, you need to create the 'final' folders at either of the two correct locations.

I always use Program files/Adobe/COMMON/LUTs ... and create the Input, Technical, and Creative folders therein.

This doesn't work. What's the current method?

[R Neil Haugen]

What doesn't work for you? Specifically? On what OS? Premiere version? What type of LUTs are you using, created by what, stored where on your machine, and used where in Premiere, for what?

"We" can't offer suggestions or advice without knowing the details.

This prescribed process has worked for me and many other users without fail for years now. The LUTs on my machine are in one folder tree, and are seen by all versions of all the Adobe video apps, Premiere, AfterEffects, and MediaEncoder.

It does have limitations, as you can only use somewhere around a hundred or so LUTs, which varies between users for why I don't know.

Every previous version of Premiere has had a LUT folder to drop a custom LUT in to. I can't locate this folder in PP 25.0 either. Using an M4 Pro. Sequioa 15.5

They have had two locations, each, on Macs and PCs. One in the User/<username> file folder tree, and one in the Program files/packages/Adobe/COMMON/LUTs folder tree.

Users have needed to add folders to each for the specific use ... "Technical" for Basic tab use, "Creative" for Creative tab use, and "Input" for Input use in color management.

Which one did you use before?
