Just put the source code for the LutP utility into the original zip package if anyone wants to play with it. And the details on github about how to I built the app in Visual Studio.

I solved the recursive search issue. I created a folder on my desktop named CubeFolders, and put the whole directory of LUT subfolders in there. I also placed a copy of lutp.exe on the desktop.

Then, from the cmd prompt, I did this:

cd Desktop\CubeFolders
mkdir AllCubes
for /r %x in (*.cube) do copy "%x" AllCubes\
copy ..\lutp.exe AllCubes\

This created a new folder named AllCubes inside CubeFolders, that contained all of the individual LUTS plus a copy of lutp.exe

The rest is pretty much straightforward.

what is the result if the lut.cube is of the same name in various folders?

Why don't you try it and report back?

If there is a file name conflict, I assume you would do it with an if/then loop and ren DOS command (pretty easy to learn), or any batch file renamer. But as of now, I have no real need to pursue it.

 

You are welcome to download my free LUTS4Vegas package, which includes a collection of nearly 400 profile, camera, and grading LUTS, in addition to a couple of my own. A new feature is the addition of the Bulk Luts Previewer, which allows you to preview any video clip or image with any of the Luts from my compilation. Enjoy!

Hi, vegas pro 21 unfortunately does not work, although it would make the work easier

@SirPurgatory Been a while since I've used it myself but I just confirmed it still works fine on my win11 laptop on vp19, 20, and 21. Note that it's specific to OFX whose LUT FX is inserted into a Vegas FX chain. Not as a preset to the LUT pane in CGP. I load my LUTs in CGP now. And adding presets there is actually easier. I just copy the luts into this folder:

C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 21.0\OFX Video Plug-Ins\Vfx1.ofx.bundle\Contents\Resources\AutoLooks

Only complication is you need administrator position to write there.

Hi, doesn't work for me, I paste the .exe file into the .cube files, it creates a preset folder with the .xml content and I paste it into the com.vegascreativesoftware_lutfilter folder, vegas sees it but there is no preview because it can't interpret the xml file and there is no path because it can't interpret the xml file content. In the attached picture you can see that cinematic lut is installed by vegas pro and there is a preview while the exe file you created which is now showing the movie lut installation here has no preview. Any ideas?

@SirPurgatory Vegas presets don't appear on that screen. They appear in the preset dropdown of the FX chain properties. Here's a screen shot of the the effect of xmls I added to the folder in docs copied from the preset folder created by the utility:

to preview the lut, just click on it:

If you save the presets manually with the folder icon, they get saved the same way in the same place. The utility just makes it more convenient to do a bunch at once.

oh man there were several problems here for example that there were many subfolders and the path was long, but interesting because if I did the xml file in Vegas it worked, then at the end of the folders for example there was a marker so Camera Profiles™ and "TM" was not read by vegas because of that, of course it was still faster than manually scanning the files one by one, but if someone reads this at least they won't fall into these errors. You recommended the autolooks folder, I tried to copy the CUBE files there but vegas didn't see them, is there a trick for that?
