How To Apply LUTs the Right Way in Premiere!

Quick little tutorial on how I apply creative LUTs to my footage. I prefer to do it at the end because I feel as though it does the least amount of damage to the quality of my image. Let me know if this was helpful for you or if you have any future topic suggestions!

You can also just use an adjustment layer above your footy for a lut. That way you can still put it last, and also have it cover multiple clips at once without the need to copy it to each one individually:)

[@DannyGevirtz]

Daniel Peacocke hey man! If you put an adjustment layer above the footage that adjustment layer is effecting the footage before whatever is laying underneath it right? So the adjustment layer is effecting the footage first?

[@DanielPeacocke]

@@DannyGevirtz Nope! It works like when you added the second lumetri layer I believe. So its a layer after the first layer. I think it would be similar to how nodes work in resolve :)

[@eliostamm7393]

Daniel is right. The adjustment layer effects everything below it, but after the corrections within the individual clips. Therefore perfect to apply looks.

[@Mattithias]

@@eliostamm7393 I use adjustment layers like you and Daniel mentioned. I adjust exposure and contrast on the actual video clip but anything beyond is handled in adjustment layers.

11/10 on the series name. Would watch Just the Tip again

[@DannyGevirtz]

Neeks hahaha thanks brotha doing my best out here

[@MikeLunc]

Glad to say I finally knew something you were teaching 😱. I don't understand why there aren't more that tell this to the internet 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@troybedenbaugh1740]

Brooo keep those color grading tutorials coming. Love them!

[@DannyGevirtz]

For sure man!!! Glad you appreciate these! Thanks Troy!

[@CjFoxo]

thank you for the tip it filled me with exitment

[@lukeparkour3712]

This is super quick and helpful tip!! And easy too. I should try this on my next video! Thanks for the tip!!

[@DannyGevirtz]

박루크Luke Park glad this was helpful for you Luke!! Thanks man!!

[@petertwining5729]

Thanks Danny, great advice, I think many feel Luts are the be all and end all, but other adjustments need to be made prior to adding a Lut as you said. :)

[@DannyGevirtz]

Peter Twining absolutely Peter! Yeah a lot of people don’t understand how destructive they can be as well!

[@enriquesuarez9563]

Could you do the same with putting an adjustment layer over the clip then applying the LUT on the adjustment layer?

[@nicklennox]

Danny! Love your videos bro. What lut pack is this from? Keep up the good work, huge fan. Peace!

[@watsonryan907]

Thanks for the help

[@douglas.barbosa]

Does it matter what type of footage I apply the LUT? Can be Canon, Sony, smartphone footage? Tks.

[@lamhuynh3107]

This is great info! No I'm curious how I can do the same thing with DaVinci Resolve..

[@chrisnigul]

Hey Danny, I got a stupid question. Can you add a LUT to a footage that was shot in default color profile? Cheers, Chris

[@changeofpace9546]

Yes, you can! It just has to be a lut meant for this colour space:) So, luts that convert log footage to rec709, won't work properly if you apply them to a clip that is rec709 already.

[@ScottBell]

Boom Bam, just da tip!

[@DannyGevirtz]

Hahaha in and out baby!

[@Ultrarmx]

I've seen others use an adjustment layer. When is this used for color grading?

[@remouille334]

love you bro

[@andiebarry4110]

I may or may not have giggled like a school boy at the intro- Its so easy to make that sound like something else :') Awesome video as always though dude! I love watching peoples color grading methods. I'm a huge color grading nerd and your tones always look beautifully moody and cinematic. One day I'm just going to have to watch you grade raw footage from scratch

[@DannyGevirtz]

Andie Barry Hahahaha it still makes me laugh between takes. For sure man! Hahaha not sure if I’m ready to share everything I do on here but I’ll show you sometime!

[@andiebarry4110]

@@DannyGevirtz Of course not! A magician never reveals his tricks! It wasn't a literal request- I'd definitely love to be a fly on the wall in your edits though haha! :')

[@dominickmorales130]

Thank you

[@digvijaysharma7779]

Danny Sir thank you for sharing important tricks and tips. But I thought LUTs are for color grading straight out of camera footage. What other color grading can you do if you use LUT already Danny Sir?

[@DannyGevirtz]

I like to add them just as a little creative style at the end!

We could use more than just the tip man.

Muaz Tellawi is this information wrong? No? This video is for beginners.

[@kurtwallrath1844]

@@DannyGevirtz for starters you can stop saying the LUT is destroying your footage. It's not "destroying" the footage. If you're going to give a tutorial, please be technical.

[@mattm7426]

@@kurtwallrath1844 you're clueless

[@Kurtiskurtical]

You decided to reply to a 3 year old comment telling me I’m “clueless”. Please tell me how I’m “clueless”? My critique is to someone giving a tutorial and they’re using poor language when a LUT isn’t destructive. So maybe look in the mirror before replying to 3 year old comments and say “you’re clueless”
