How to make your own LUTs in Premiere Pro

Open Adobe Premiere Pro and create a new project.

  1. Import the footage you want to apply the LUT to into the project.

  2. Create a new adjustment layer by going to Layer > New > Adjustment Layer.

  3. Drag the adjustment layer over the footage you want to apply the LUT to.

  4. Go to the Lumetri Color panel, and under the Basic Correction tab, select the Input LUT dropdown menu and choose "Browse"

  5. In the browse window, navigate to the location where you have saved your LUT file, select it, and click "Open"

  6. Adjust the intensity of the LUT by using the "Amount" control in the Input LUT dropdown menu.

  7. Render the footage with the LUT applied by going to File > Export > Media

  8. Make sure the footage is rendered with the LUT applied by checking the "Use Previews" option in the export settings

  9. Save the project and footage with the LUT applied

It is important to note that LUTs are a great way to color grade footage, but they are not a one-size-fits-all solution, so it's important to fine-tune the footage to achieve the desired look. You can also find many LUTs in the internet to purchase or download for free, but it's always a good idea to test them before using on your footage.
