How to load LUTs into Premiere Pro, Resolve & FCPX

Adobe Premiere Pro

Our LUTs can be loaded into premiere numerous ways. The easiest is to access it via the Input LUT menu in Lumetri. Click the drop down menu next to Input LUT and select the .cube file / LUT you would like to apply.

Alternatively, you can load the LUT in Lumetri in the creative panel. Next to “Look” there is a drop down menu, select the LUT you would like to apply. The benefit of loading it in the creative panel is that you have instant easy access to ‘Intensity’ which controls the opacity of the loaded LUT.

For easy grading, we suggest using the LUT on an adjustment layer and adjusting exposure separately on the individual video clip however this is personal preference.
