Once you have exported a LUT file, you can install it into other applications. In Premiere Pro, custom LUT files appear in the Lumetri Color panel. LUTs from other applications or to support cameras can also be installed so that they are available in Premiere Pro.

To install a custom LUT file, create one or more of the directories listed below:

macOS 

Available only to the local user

  1. Select Go > Go to Folder from the macOS Finder and enter this path: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs

    • Modify > Interpret Footage > Color Management > Input LUT, which is Modify > Color > Input LUT in Premiere Pro v 24.0 and later.
    • In Premiere Pro 24.0 (or later), LUTs stored in the Input folder also appear in Lumetri Color > Settings > Source Clip > Input LUT.

    • ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Technical - LUTs stored here appear in Lumetri Color > Basic Correction > Input LUT.
  4. Copy your custom LUT files to the respective folder.
