Color Presets For Premiere Pro Cs6 Free Download 10/7/2019 My Favorite Free Premiere Pro Plugins & Presets – Version 2.0 After working on VFX intensive feature films like: Deadpool, Gone Girl and Sharknado 2, I’ve learned the power of both subtle and overt visual effects. Make your videos more cinematic in Premiere Pro in seconds with these free Lumetri looks. Adobe Premiere Pro is a rich video editor with tons of tools you can use to salvage, beautify, enhance your footage. Premiere Pro also allows to export presets that you can re-use in other edits or share with the video community, peers and friends.
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.
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.
Created by Jarle Leirpoll, this Premiere Pro preset pack consists of Looks & Grading Tools. Jarle’s Looks has common color grading looks like bleach bypass, cross process and teal/orange (cool/warm). The Grading Tools has corrective options like “3-Way Skin Tone Fix” and “Curve Highlight Roll-off”.
Check out this tutorial on how to use these free Premiere Pro presets in your video editing projects and DOWNLOAD the pack from PremierePro.net.
Some of Jarle’s presets are designed to be used on adjustment layers, which is a quick way to apply a look to all the clips in your sequence.
Studio 1 Productions has a free set of 56 Premiere Pro presets called CinemaFX. These range from film styles (1960, 70s, 80s) to warm & cool looks. DOWNLOAD
Installing Premiere Pro presets is quite simple. With the “Effects Panel” selected, right click and select “Import Presets” (or use the pulldown menu). Navigate to the preset file and click OK. The presets are now installed. It’s that easy.
The Premiere Pro presets will be listed in the Presets Bin in the “Effects Panel”.

The “Blue Brown” preset has a a nice tobacco look without completely tinting the footage like a traditional sepia effect would.
