You can import .cube LUT (Lookup Table) files into Adobe Premiere Pro in two primary ways via the Lumetri Color panel.
Importing .cube LUTs in Premiere Pro
Here's how to import and apply .cube LUTs within Premiere Pro:
-
Access the Lumetri Color Panel: Open the Lumetri Color panel by going to Window > Lumetri Color.
-
Method 1: Input LUT:
- Within the Basic Correction section of the Lumetri Color panel, find the "Input LUT" dropdown menu.
- Click the dropdown and choose "Browse…".
- Navigate to the location where you've saved your .cube file.
- Select the .cube file and click "Open". Premiere Pro will then apply the LUT to your clip.
-
Method 2: Creative Look LUT:
- In the Lumetri Color panel, navigate to the "Creative" tab.
- Next to "Look," click the dropdown menu.
- Select "Browse…".
- Navigate to the location of your .cube file.
- Select the .cube file and click "Open". Premiere Pro will apply the LUT to your clip. This method is often used for more stylistic looks.
Important Considerations:
- LUT Storage: While not strictly necessary to "import" into Premiere's folders, consider organizing your LUTs into a dedicated folder on your hard drive for easy access and management.
- Intensity: After applying a LUT, you can adjust its intensity in the "Creative" tab by using the "Intensity" slider to fine-tune the effect.
- Compatibility: Ensure the .cube LUT is compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro. Most standard .cube LUTs will work without issue.
By following these steps, you can successfully import and utilize .cube LUTs to enhance the color grading and overall look of your video projects within Adobe Premiere Pro.
