You can make your own, pretty easily. Far faster than trying to find and download one. And actually more useful for your media. It actually takes longer to read how to do it ... than to do it.
With the Display Color Management (DCM) preferences option on, go to the Color workspace, with the Lumetri panel and the Lumetri scopes visible.
Do your color correction as you normally would in Premiere.
Now use the Lumetri tab 3-bar menu options to add another instance of Lumetri. This will appear in the Effects Control panel below the one where you corrected your clip. You might even name them separately.
Or you could add an Adjustment layer, over the clip, and use the Color workspace while the AL is the selected clip. Either way does the same thing.
In the second Lumetri instance, either 'below' the first on the clip, or in the AL, you will drop the shadows and some of the mids tones. There are several ways to do this, use whichever one is most normal for you. I'll list the different ways to do this here in bulleted separate points.
- In the Basic tab, use the Shadow control to pull your shadow values down a bit, which darkens them, noting that it also pulls down the mids some. You might need to very slightly increase saturation. Or ... not. And if your highlights 'sag' too much, you may need to slightly lift the Highlights control.
- In the Color Wheels tab, pull the Mids luma slider down ... the slider bar for the middle wheel ... again, a little bit. You may need to slightly 'lift' the luma slider for the highlights, if your white point area 'sags' in the scopes. Again, you may find a slight saturation adjustment helpful to match.
- In the Curves tab, click on the RGB Curves dialog, between a quarter and a third of the way in from the left side, and pull down slightly. Again, a slight saturation change may be needed.
Now ... export, and check the view of that file in say Qt Player against the image in Premiere.
If the file is too light still, darken a small amount more. If too dark, lighten a small amount. If saturation is different, adjust Sat until they visually match.
Once you've matched, go back into Premiere. With the second instance of Lumetri active ... go to the 3-bar menu system at the top of the Lumetri tab.
Click on the tab, and select "create LUT" ... however it's phrased. Save the LUT in the proper locations listed for user added LUTs ... I prefer the Program{package} files/Adobe/Common/LUTs folder area.
Whichever of the two listed places you choose, you may need to create subfolders if you haven't already. "Technical" will go to the Basic tab's Input LUT dropdown list, "Creative" to the Creative tab's dropdown Look list, "Input" for color management purposes.
Now ... will you be applying this only at export, as is likely? Then any of the folders will work, as you navigate to the folder it's in during Export.
And now, you've created your own, precisely set conversion LUT, which will do a better job for you than the Adobe created one would anyway.
Of course, on using that ... your clip will now be way, way too dark on any broadcast compliant system, and on most PC and Android devices, many TVs.
But if all you care about is how it looks on Apple controlled screens, this will float your boat.
