Updated from CC 2015.0.2 to CC 2017.0.2 and now LUTs don’t work

[Andy Edwards]

Mike,

Where are you storing the LUTS? Are they local to your machine or in a shared folder like dropbox? I’ve seen issues where any “Cloud” based storage cannot be read by AME to apply the LUT. If they are located in the cloud, move them to a local folder and re-apply the LUT so both programs can see it.

Adobe removed a bunch of the older LUTS when they made the push from Speed Grade to the Lumetri Panel. Some of the older LUTS did not get ported to the new versions of Premiere and should not be used with new version of Premiere. They will play back in Premiere, but AME has a hard time reading these older versions and will not apply it to the footage when exporting via Queueing in AME.

In your AME prefs check to make sure you have “import sequences natively” box checked.

I’m storing the LUTs on my internal hard drive in Adobe Premiere Pro CC>Contents>Lumetri>LUTs>Creative

I looked at my preferences and the box for “import sequences natively” is checked.

Is there another location on my hard drive where I can store the LUTs?

Thanks,

Mike

Are these custom LUTS or ones you chose from the previous versions of Premiere?

Did you upgrade to today’s new release?

Some of them are custom LUTs from Jame’s Miller’s DELUTS but others are Adobe LUTs. I think the Adobe LUTs came with the software but I’m not certain.

I didn’t know there was a new release. I just looked on the menu bar icon and it’s not showing an update, is there another way to access this?

Found an old adobe post talking about copying the LUTS to the AME technical folder you might be able to try.

Be careful doing this as some older LUTS are not supported and this could hose your system and cause export errors with your footage.

If your LUTS are from an older version of the software this could be the problem with the AME export. I saw this with one of our shows and we had to dig into the Lumetri panel and make sure no old LUTS were applied. Try creating a new test project and import one piece of media you used with your old LUT. Apply one of the new Lumetri LUTS and see if you can Queue it to AME and retain the look once exported. If that works, it could mean your older LUTs are not supported. Regarding Miller’s LUTS, find out from him if his LUT’s are updated to work with the latest version of Premiere.

To see the new update go to your CC desktop app and log out. Log back in and see if the CC desktop app requires an update to the new version and then it should offer you the new application updates. Don’t dive into this new version if you are in the middle of a project. Finish the project and plan for the upgrade so you start fresh.

Here is the Adobe Blog showing all the new features:

The LUTS are applied in the Lumetri Panel and not through an Adjustment layer?

2017.0.2 is the new release today isn’t it?

I too am a holdout on 2015.0.2, will be watching this thread.

[Andy Edwards]

Nope, that was the previous version. Today’s release moves it to 2017.1 v11.0, Tanq

Mike,

Did anything get it working again?

Defiantly Have to Re Import them. I have had the same issue.

Go into your old File folder or even Speedgrade. They should all be in there in the Lumetri Folder. Copy them into the new folders for the New Premier Lumetri. There should be 3 folders.
