Hi All,
I've seen a few threads the last few days about being able to scroll/preview/browse through your LUT collection in a gallery format, so as to see how each LUT affects your image by simply clicking through them instead of loading them in one at a time.
There are a few plugins out there, but I noticed that most people aren't aware that it's possible to do entirely free inside of Premiere Pro's Lumetri panel, by simply installing your collections into Lumetri itself. It's a huge timesaver for your coloring workflow and very easy to install. Premiere ships with it's own pre-installed collection of input and creative LUT's inside of Lumetri, so it's just a matter of pasting your own LUT collections into those same folders. Presto. No need to spend hundreds of dollars or switch NLE's.
I've made a quick screencapture tutorial (no audio) which is fairly simple to follow, the main part of it is simply right-clicking on the Premiere icon in your application folder directory and selecting 'Show Package Contents'. Then navigate to Lumetri's LUT directory where you'll find the two main LUT folders (Input LUT or Creative LUT), where you then install your various LUT's. I've found it easiest to install both input and creative LUT's into the creative folder, as this is where it allows you to click through them visually. But follow the video and you'll see how it works.
Click the arrows to navigate through your LUT's and when you decide on the look you're after, simply click in middle of the image window in the Lumetri panel and it applies the LUT to the selected clip or layer in your timeline.
Here's the link to the tutorial:

Feel free to let me know if you have any trouble, questions or additional tips for LUT browsing in Premiere. Hope you find it as useful as I have. Been waiting ages to finally do this, not sure why Adobe hasn't been more vocal about it, perhaps their not aware. Anyhow, happy coloring...
Cheers,
