Browse through hundreds of cinematic LUTs with visual previews. Find the perfect look for each scene without leaving your timeline.
Organize, preview, and apply LUTs from a single panel. Favorites, categories, side-by-side comparison. Coming soon to the Studio.
The Problem
Finding and applying LUTs in Premiere is a tedious, frustrating process.
LUTs from different sources end up in random folders across your system. Some are in Downloads, others in deep system directories. You can never find the one you want.
Premiere gives you a dropdown of LUT file names with no preview. You apply one, check the result, undo, try another. It's a slow, blind guessing game.
You found the perfect LUT three weeks ago. Now you can't remember its name or which folder it was in. There's no way to bookmark or organize your best LUTs.
