Can't restore missing LUTS FCP 10.8.1 on new iMac

Hi there. I worked on a project on my old iMac, and used a Custom BlackMagic LUT on several clips. I keep the project on an external SSD, and when I first opened it in my new iMac, I had no issue. Now if I open it, I get the red 'Missing Camera LUT' icon on those clips. I've redownloaded the LUTS and put them into the new iMac's appropriate folder for Custom LUTs, then restarted. Still just a logo, and the Info for the clip does not show the application of a Custom LUT. I've also tried applying it afresh, and no luck..


Any help would be really appreciated!

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 13.7

Camera LUTs and Custom LUTs are two different things.


They should go in


~/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Camera LUTs


and


~/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Custom LUTs


respectively.

Which of the two are you using - custom LUTs?


Are they in the correct places? Do they appear in the menu in the Inspector?

Hi there. Thanks for the reply.


I miswrote Camera LUTS... I meant Custom LUTS. On the installation of FCP on the new machine, I don't have any Custom LUTS in the appropriate ProApps folder. I was able to use the extended menu in the Inspector window and remove the BlackMagic LUTS I had used on the old computer, and the original footage is there. I believe I can now import the Custom LUTS to the ProApps folder and re-apply them. Oddly, my project shows all of the LUTS I had in my old computer, but they are greyed out and unavailable, which makes sense. I will try and find those and re-import as well.


Appreciate your speedy response!
