Luttie for Premiere Pro

A look you built yourself.
Loaded straight into Lumetri.

Premiere ships with Lumetri's stock looks and not much else — building your own reusable LUT isn't something it does. Grade a reference frame in Luttie, export a .cube, and load it under Creative → Look.

Exports .cube — no plugin or extension to install.

What trips people up in Premiere Pro

The three things worth knowing before you blame the LUT.

Creative Look, not Input LUT

Input LUT under Basic Correction is meant for technical conversions and has no strength control. Creative → Look is where a stylistic LUT belongs, and it has an Intensity slider.

Log footage needs converting first

Put the camera's log-to-Rec.709 conversion on Input LUT, then your creative look on top. Stacked the other way round, the look fights the flat image.

Browse… beats the dropdown

A LUT only shows up in the Look dropdown if it's in Premiere's Lumetri presets folder. Browse… loads it from anywhere and is the faster path.

Custom LUTs in Premiere Pro

Can I make my own LUT in Premiere Pro?

Not directly — Premiere applies LUTs but has no export-a-LUT command. You can save a Lumetri preset, but that only works inside Adobe apps. To get a real .cube file you need a tool that renders one, which is what Luttie does in the browser.

Where do I put .cube files so they show in the Look dropdown?

Premiere reads Lumetri looks from its own Creative folder inside the app's support files. In practice most people skip that and use Creative → Look → Browse… to load the .cube from anywhere on disk.

Does a LUT from Luttie work in After Effects too?

Yes. It's a standard .cube, so the same file loads in After Effects via Apply Color LUT or Lumetri Color, and in Photoshop via a Color Lookup layer.

Premiere applies LUTs. Luttie makes them.

Build your look in the browser and export a .cube that loads straight into Lumetri Color.

Free to grade and export watermarked previews. Pro — from $11.99/mo or a one-time $68.99 lifetime licence — unlocks clean LUT export, and Luttie is fine to use for commercial and client work.
