Key Insights:
- LUTs, or Look Up Tables, are used in Adobe Premiere Pro to achieve specific visual effects on footage.
- There are two main ways to implement a LUT: under Basic Correction, Input LUT, and under Creative, where they are referred to as "Looks".
- Basic Correction Input LUTs are typically camera-specific, bringing out qualities that work well with certain film footage.
- For more creative, non-camera-specific effects, LUTs can be applied under the Creative tab.
- Adjustment Layers are commonly used with LUTs since they allow for effects to be applied across multiple clips, not just one.
- Noble Desktop provides tutorials such as these to assist those interested in mastering Adobe Premiere Pro and other industry-relevant skills.

Hello, this is Margaret with Noble Desktop. Today, I'll be reviewing LUTs on the Adjustment Layer in Premiere Pro.
So, what is a LUT? LUT stands for Look Up Table, and there are two different ways of achieving a LUT. The first way is under Basic Correction, Input LUT. The Basic Correction Input LUTs are the LUTs that go with your camera. They will bring out an assortment of qualities that work with your footage. For example, the Phantom Rec 709 Gamma is a common LUT. You can browse for free LUTs online and bring them in as well.
If this were a creative LUT, not necessarily camera-specific, I would put my LUTs under Creative and call them "Looks". From there, you can adjust it. If you're looking for a retro look, there are plenty of nice LUTs to give your film a specific look. LUTs in general are used with Adjustment Layers since you're not going to be putting it on one clip.
That's all for this tutorial. I hope you enjoyed learning how to use the Adjustment Layer with LUTs in Premiere Pro. This has been Margaret for Noble Desktop.
