How can I import and apply a LUT in Premier Pro CS6?
It seems that LUT buddy is not yet compatible.. And I’m going nuts trying to find an import or apply LUT command in PP CS6…
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply Derrick,
As I said in my post though – LUT Buddy isn’t yet compatible with CS6. I’m hoping there’s another way to do it.

Aaah, sorry, feel stupid for not reading properly, and rightly so. he he.
hopefully redgiant will get it available soon, as they did with the other plugins.
in Speedgrade CS6 you can add a “LUT” custom look layer.
It’s a pitty one has to do some rendering to use speedgrade in your workflow. (But it being the first release we can forgive Adobe this round, he he).

Speedgrade is an incredible piece of kit to have ‘bundled’ in the cloud… But yes – for this project at least rendering kinda defeats the object. 4 different formats on the same timeline (C300, EX-1, GoPro, AVCHD) which so far the Mercury Playback Engine (even without the right graphics card) is handling admirably, but I want to lay the LUT on the (C-log) C300 – before I do any sort of grading.
I discovered that people found a work-around for CS5.5 – which consisted basically of installing LUT Buddy for CS5 – but changing the install location to the CS5.5 media core folder – it may work with CS6 – I’ll let you know!

As a work around, provided you have After Effects CS6, you can import the PPro sequence into AE.
You can also Import a PPro Sequence Via Dynamic link. However beware of Dynamic Linking a PPro Sequence with embedded AE Dynamic Links 🙂
There is a plugin in AE for LUT called Apply Color LUT and supports 3dl, cube, csp & look (native from SpeedGrade).
SpeedGrade can make a look file and export to the other 1 and 3DLUT formats.

Thanks Jon!
Red Giant said that you can use LUT Buddy with PP CS6 – but there’s no install setting – so you have to install for CS5 and move the plugin to the PP CS6 media core folder – or the ‘common’ folder. This has worked – but so far I’m not getting the results I’d expect – I may figure it out, or if not – I’ll go with your AE advice. Using that method I’m assuming I need to render sequences first?
thanks again,
James

Where do I find the plugin when I install it for CS5 ?

Are there any options other than lut buddy? I find it lags my pc a hell of a lot when absolutely nothing else does
