New LUT treatment in Premiere Pro?

I just opened an old project from last year, and almost all my LUTs now look horribly wrong on my slog3.cine footage. Especially the AC709 Venice for FX9 that i originally used.

Has the PPro been updated with a new way to interpret LUTs?

Only the old FS7 with Panasonic V-Gamut exported LUT from LUTCalc looks anything like the original grade i did last summer.
 
Good morning. Opened a more recent project and everything there is fine. Looks like my old project has a LUT applied on every LOG footage by default without Lumetri applied. Cant find any obvious setting and have never had this "bug" or feature before.

Its like in Davinci when you specify a LUT for the entire project by default on output in project settings...
 
Hey Martin, unfortunately this is a new feature that came out in one of Premiere's more recent updates. I say unfortunately because it's extremely annoying to most of us.

Premiere is auto applying a conversion of your footage to Rec.709. That's why it's looking like it is. The only way to fix it is to highlight all of your footage in your bin and select Modify>Interpret Footage>Colorspace Override and then select Rec-709. This will get your footage back to looking like you're used to seeing it. Unfortunately if you have multiple bins of footage like I do, this creates some extra work. That's why it really frustrates the heck out of me.

Here's an article Alister Chapman wrote about it: http://www.xdcam-user.com/2022/01/pr...its-a-feature/
 
Fair enough! I welcome this change on any new project. Saves me from using the old adjustment layer with a LUT or adding a LUT to each clip as i edit projects. I send it to Davinci for grade anyways, in the end. Only the most low budget 2-3 day projects i grade in PPro.

But it sure is annoying that you cannot just pick a sequence or project wide color conversion. Lucky i only have small projects graded the old way, so its a 5 mins fix.
