Use Presets in Premiere Pro & After Effects to give your video editing and motion design projects unique color looks.

I use video editing presets often to quickly create stylized looks for color grading. They are a more affordable option than plugins for those on a budget. There are several FREE preset collections available online that will work in Premiere Pro or After Effects (they work in one application or the other, not both). These Premiere Pro and After Effects presets are a combination of multiple effects that you can use as is or modify to create your own custom looks.

Film Look LUTs & Footages package contains 30 unique, film color LUT's for Premiere Pro + 20 Bonus Clips (Film Grain/Light Leaks/Animated Film Borders). Package is very good for any type of videos: fashion, gaming, wedding, travel, sport, interview, film. Quickly and easily add a professional look to your next masterpiece. Make a fantastic video with these great LUT's & footages. These presets can be used with the most photo and video editing softwares (PC/Mac): Adobe Photoshop (CS6 and +) Adobe After Effects (CS6 and +) Adobe Premiere Pro (CS6 and +) Adobe SpeedGrade Avid Media Composer (7 and +) The Foundry NUKE DaVinci Resolve Assimilate Scratch Edius (8 and +) CyberLink ColorDirector (4 and +) Final Cut Pro X Sony. Lumetri Looks is a collection of presets that lives inside your Premiere Pro effects bin and supports grades created in Speedgrade as well as LUTs. It harnesses the power of the Lumetri Deep Color Engine inside Speedgrade and allows for continuous 32-bit processing of your footage. Biasanya color grading Premier dibarengi dengan color correction, seperti mengedit kontras, hue, saturation, black level, white point, dan lain-lain. Bisa digunakan untuk foto, video, maupun still images. Tingkat kerumitan untuk meracik warnanya pun berbeda-beda karena ada preset-nya masing-masing.

In this post I’ll share a few resources for free Premiere Pro presets and how to install them on your system. Then we’ll tackle free AE presets, with installation instructions as well.
