Browse and preview looks in the Look browser

Applies to 0.11Updated 6 Nov 20262 min read

Every look on a tile, previewed on your own clip, grouped by what it does and named in plain words. Hover to see it on the monitor; click to apply it.

Choose Color › Look › Looks…. The Look browser opens.

Groups by what a look does

Camera Profiles (by maker), Film Stock, Cool & Blue, Warm & Gold, Black & White, Retro & Vintage, Clean & Neutral, Technical and My Looks. Each group says in one line what it is for.

Names you can read

• "BLUE COLD - SL - 3527" is Blue Cold.
• "CANON 5D - UEX - SL - PROFILE" is Canon 5D, noted "for under-exposed footage".
• "GOLD RUSH HDR" is Gold Rush, noted "for flat footage".
• "FullToSMPTE10" is Full Range → Video Range, noted "10-bit".

The files keep their names, so projects that use a look keep working.

Preview and apply

• Every tile shows the selected clip's frame through that look, drawn when the browser opens. The frame is the one at the playhead, or the clip's middle when that frame is nearly black.
• A look you install later gets its preview the same way.
• Hover a tile to see the look on the Program Monitor. Nothing is kept and nothing goes into Undo.
• Click a tile to apply the look.

Search and the group list help you find a look. Install Looks…, Install Premiere's Lumetri Looks and Show Looks Folder are at the bottom.

Groups with Premiere's SpeedLooks say they are made for flat (log) footage. On ordinary video, lower Intensity in Effect Controls.

Dragging a curve point in the Curves tab now changes the picture live, as the sliders do. More: Use a .cube LUT.
