THE PART EVERYONE SKIPS

How to Install Your LUTs

Every Arch Pro pack works in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro. Pick your editor below and follow the steps.

DaVinci Resolve

Premiere Pro

Final Cut Pro

In-Camera Monitoring

First things first

Unzip the download. macOS usually does this for you; on Windows, right-click the .zip and choose Extract All. The .cube files inside are what your editor wants.

DaVinci Resolve (Mac & Windows)

The easiest route works identically on both platforms and skips hunting for hidden folders:

Open Resolve and any project, then open Project Settings (the gear icon, bottom right).
Go to Color Management and scroll to Lookup Tables.
Click Open LUT Folder. Your file browser opens exactly where Resolve looks for LUTs.
Create a folder called Arch Pro and drop your .cube files into it.
Back in Resolve, click Update Lists in that same panel. Done.

To apply: on the Color page, open the LUTs panel (top left), find your Arch Pro folder, and drag the Natural LUT onto a node. For a Film Look, give it its own node after the conversion—that’s the whole trick to dialing intensity: adjust that node’s key output gain and the Look scales from subtle to full send.

Prefer to place the files manually? The folders are:

Mac: /Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/LUT
Windows: C:\ProgramData\Blackmagic Design\DaVinci Resolve\Support\LUT (ProgramData is hidden—type the path into the address bar)

Premiere Pro (Mac & Windows)

The no-install way (fastest, per-project): select your clip, open Lumetri Color, and under Basic Correction → Input LUT, choose Browse and select your Natural LUT. For a Film Look, go to the Creative tab, hit Browse under Look, and pick one—the Intensity slider right below it is your mix control.

The permanent way (LUTs appear in the dropdowns forever):

Quit Premiere.
Create the LUT folders if they don’t exist. Put Natural / conversion LUTs in Technical, and Film Looks in Creative.
Mac paths: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/LUTs/Technical and …/LUTs/Creative. Windows paths: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Common\LUTs\Technical and …\LUTs\Creative.
Relaunch Premiere. Your LUTs now live in the Lumetri dropdowns on every project.

This split isn’t just tidiness—it mirrors how the system is built: conversion in Basic Correction, character in Creative, intensity on a slider.

Final Cut Pro (Mac)

In the Effects browser, search for Custom LUT (it’s under Color) and drag it onto your clip.
In the Video inspector, open the LUT dropdown on the Custom LUT effect and select Choose Custom LUT…, then pick your Natural .cube file.
For a Film Look, add a second Custom LUT effect below the first and choose your Look. Its Mix slider is your intensity dial.

Order matters: Natural first, Look second. Same system, same logic, every platform.

Monitoring LUTs (In-Camera & External Monitors)

Every tier includes 33-point monitoring LUTs—smaller files sized for what cameras and monitors can load, so what you see on set matches what lands in your edit.

The general flow:

Copy the 33pt .cube file(s) to your memory card. Most cameras want them at the card root; some want a specific folder—your manual will say.
In your camera’s menu, find the LUT import option and load the file, then enable it as your monitoring/view-assist LUT.
For external monitors, load the same 33pt file via the monitor’s SD card slot and assign it to your input. Expose with false color and zebras as usual.

If Something’s Not Working

LUT not showing up? Usually the wrong folder, or the app needs a rescan—Update Lists in Resolve, full restart in Premiere.
File looks like a folder of gibberish? The .zip needs extracting first.
