hello and welcome to another filter
0:04
great tutorial my name is leaden in this
0:05
video we're going to be learning how to
0:06
import and apply video LS in Adobe
0:08
Premiere CC today we're going to be
0:09
using the
0:10
iwltbap L pack which you can get right
0:13
here at filtergrade dcom this L pack is
0:15
great if you're looking for some
0:16
cinematic yet natural earthy tones with
0:18
both options for warmer and colder
0:20
overall color profiles this is what you
0:22
get when you download the L pack open it
0:23
up as a document telling you more about
0:25
the L pack itself and how to apply it to
0:27
different applications inside here is
0:29
the Luts uh we use the cube files only
0:31
time you want to use the 3dl files is
0:34
when your application does not support
0:35
the do Cube files but Adobe Premiere Pro
0:37
does support it so we're going to be
0:38
using those today inside the cube you're
0:39
going to find bonus film and utility
0:41
these LS are optimized for rec 79 and
0:43
srgb color profiles if you shoot in raw
0:46
this pack comes with the utility folder
0:47
with plenty of camera specific
0:49
conversion LS to turn your flat raw
0:50
footage into a more colored profile that
0:52
works a lot better when actually
0:54
applying Lots inside the film folder
0:55
you'll find all the Lots we're going to
0:57
be importing today this lot pack also
0:58
comes with several bonus LS that I've
1:00
already imported so without further Ado
1:02
Let's Open Up Premiere I've got my
1:04
timeline right here just four Clips
1:05
we're going to be testing out our LS
1:07
with today and there are several
1:08
different ways that you can apply lets
1:09
in Premiere but in this video I'm going
1:10
to show you what I think to be the best
1:13
and easiest ways to actually apply the
1:14
let files so for the first one let's go
1:16
up to window and you're going to want to
1:18
go down to lumry color or lumry color
1:22
click that and this will open up your
1:24
color grading window you can also do
1:25
this by changing the overall layout but
1:28
I like to work with the edit edting just
1:30
cuz I'm used to it that's what most
1:31
people use whenever they're editing
1:33
their footage you can also go back into
1:34
window and go down to lumry Scopes and
1:36
check out your parade you can make sure
1:37
all your colors are where you want them
1:39
to be but for this video I'm just going
1:40
to focus on this window right here the
1:43
first technique we're going to look at
1:44
allows you to look up and apply the L
1:45
without saving the lets directly to your
1:47
app data this method works well if you
1:49
already have a lot of lets to choose
1:50
from saved in Premiere and you're
1:52
looking to test out the L before
1:53
actually adding it to your collection so
1:55
when you first open lumetri color you
1:57
have a whole bunch of different options
1:59
standard with most color correction
2:00
software in Premiere we're going to be
2:02
going into creative open that up and
2:04
under look you want to hit
2:07
browse this will take you to your
2:09
desktop normally and I have the folder
2:12
right here on my desktop go into the do
2:14
Cube files into film and from here you
2:17
can select any one of these LS to apply
2:19
to your footage something I really like
2:21
about this L pack is how it uses a lot
2:22
of unique names for their LS so you're
2:24
not trying to find a number or a generic
2:26
title uh this makes it a lot easier to
2:28
find and remember specific look so for
2:31
this one we're going to use the miking L
2:32
open that up and right away you see a
2:35
difference between this video here and
2:36
this video here you can also change the
2:39
intensity so if you want your L to be
2:41
more obvious you can pull that out or
2:44
less and you can always adjust the basic
2:47
things after you've applied the L go in
2:49
basic correction you can still have
2:51
control over exposure contrast
2:53
highlights Shadows Etc so there we go
2:55
I'm satisfied with that look let's go on
2:57
to the next one here so we'll do the
2:58
same thing under create creative look
3:02
browse so for this clip we're going to
3:04
use the asate lot open that up and there
3:07
you have it you've applied your L gives
3:09
it a little colder look it is a winter
3:11
scene the next technique I'm going to
3:12
show you is saving the entire L pack
3:15
directly into the app data in Premiere
3:17
so you don't have to hit browse and
3:18
search every time you want to apply new
3:20
l so open a folder I'm on the Mac here
3:22
so I'm going to go into my applications
3:24
on the left under applications you want
3:25
to find your Adobe folder inside your
3:28
Adobe folder you want to right click the
3:30
actual application itself and you want
3:32
to go into show package contents so
3:34
you're going to have all this stuff here
3:36
all these random folders but the one you
3:38
really want to search for here is Luts
3:40
so once you click Luts there's going to
3:41
be three subfolders you want to click
3:43
the creative folder because that's where
3:45
we are applying the lets before in
3:46
Premiere so in the creative folder is
3:48
where you're going to be dropping the
3:49
actual lets into so I'm going to go
3:51
ahead and move this folder out of the
3:52
way so I can open up my L pack you don't
3:54
want to click and drag this entire pack
3:56
as there's a lot of subfolders and
3:57
different information just go into the
4:00
film start at the top shift click all
4:02
the way down to the bottom simply just
4:03
click and drag all the lets into the
4:05
creative folder and it'll import them
4:07
right there you can exit out of this
4:08
window so they're going to alphabetize
4:10
them but as you can see all my LS from
4:13
the L pack are now in this creative
4:14
folder we can go back and back and back
4:17
exit out of that so once you've dragged
4:19
all your desired LS into the creative
4:21
folder in the app contents make sure you
4:23
saved your project first exit Ed a
4:25
Premiere let it close and then you want
4:26
to reopen it kind of to refresh the
4:29
files reopen your project let it load a
4:31
bit so we're going to move on to the
4:32
next clip here go back up to window you
4:35
can also change your workspace to color
4:37
this will change the layout now that you
4:39
have your color correction side right
4:40
here as opposed to a separate window so
4:42
if you change your workspace to the
4:44
color setting you can always go back to
4:45
editing or effects they're all up here
4:47
in the top on the right you can see your
4:48
lumetri color options just like before
4:50
we're going to go into creative and look
4:53
so as you can see our L pack has been
4:55
applied these three here from the pack
4:57
they're all just alphabetized so maybe a
4:58
little bit more difficult to F so for
5:00
the next clip here we're going to be
5:01
using the rarg L uh it's probably one of
5:02
my favorite Luts in the entire pack it
5:04
gives a nice teal and orange kind of
5:06
desaturated look very dramatic and if
5:08
you don't like your L choice you can
5:09
always go back up to the top and change
5:10
it to something else all right there you
5:12
go we'll do one more example here so
5:13
this next clip nice orange fall colors
5:16
let's go back into the look where you're
5:17
going to find one of the bonus LS that
5:20
came with this pack Aspen it's very
5:22
subtle but just changes the orange Hue
5:24
little bit of luminance darkens the
5:25
Shadows a bit you can change the
5:27
intensity make it a little more orange a
5:28
little more faded sharpen vibrant
5:30
saturation you can still use all the
5:32
basic color Corrections once your L's
5:33
been applied so don't be afraid to
5:34
experiment with your Luts uh get to know
5:36
what they can do with their limitations
5:38
are and which LS work better in certain
5:40
situations this will just make your
5:42
editing workflow a lot faster if you
5:44
know exactly what L needs to go to what
5:46
clip and for what kind of lighting
5:47
environment etc etc so there you have it
5:49
that's how you apply Luts in Adobe
