Hi

. . . . Magix Video Deluxe 2026 compatible with third party LUTs . . . .

Yes with 2 provisos, the LUTs must be a 3D* LUTs and with a .cube file extension.

* Nothing to do with 3D/Stereo, this refers to the number of dimensions for the internal colour mapping lattice.

VideoDeluxe does not have an existing folder for LUTs.

Create a folder called LUTPresets in the folder.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Program name\VideoEffects

If you have both Camera and Effects LUTs then create 2 subfolders LUTCamera and LUTEffect and put the .cube Luts in the appropriate folder. I create seperate subfolders for Camera LUTs by camera.

IN VDL the LUTS wiil appear in the Templates tab, Movie Looks option

I seem to be following all of your instructions properly but my luts are still not appearing under "Movie looks" even after restarting the program.

I am stumped here😭😭

@ImTerribleAtThis

Hi

The LUTPresets folder and LUT files are in the wrong location ie

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Video deluxe Premium Content\VideoEffects

it should be in:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Video deluxe Premium\VideoEffects

With Video deluxe not running, move the LUTPresets folder to the correct location.

@johnebaker

John, I can't get this to work either. Could you please post the complete path to (any) one of your LUT files ie one of your cube files?

If you have both Camera and Effects LUTs then create 2 subfolders LUTCamera and LUTEffect and put the .cube Luts in the appropriate folder. 

Are these mandatory? I can't see either of these in your screenshot here or on the other post.

FYI, I don't have a Video deluxe Premium folder, only a Movie Edit Pro Premium folder. I am running VDL 2026 as an upgrade.

@AAProds

Hi Al,

Works for me. Remember, Magix reuses the same Video Content folders from one version to the other so as not to have to download and install the additional content for each version. There are 3 flavours - VPX, MEP Plus, MEP Premium, where MEP could be something else, like Movie Studio xxxx if an installation of Movie Studio was the first time you installed the program.

I have:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Edit Pro Plus\VideoEffects\LUTPresets

which is for VDL Plus 2026. The program found this during installation and used it.

And for Premium (Movie Studio Premium 2025, I have:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\MAGIX\Common\Videocontent\Movie Edit Pro Premium\VideoEffects\LUTPresets

Hi Al

John CB beat me to it.

@ImTerribleAtThis clearly has a new install. I like you, and John CB, have the upgrade path:-

. . . . Are these mandatory? . . . .

For the LUTCamera and LUTEffect, well you could throw everything into one folder, however, and especially for Camera LUTs, if you have various sources video and images, or different effects LUTs, good organisation becomes a necessity.

No go. Perhaps I have a dodgy LUT. Could one of you post a LUT that works with VDL on Google Drive for me to try?

Here's one I've been trying with.

Thanks guys.

I found this post from Geoff:

https://www.magix.info/us/forum/luts--1245242/#ca1543125

So, on the import tab, I browsed to the LUTs, dragged one of them onto a video and it worked. I just can't get access from the "MovieLooks" Template.
