OK AMIRA LUT CAN BE TURNED OFF, SEE BOTTOM OF POST ON HOW TO DO IT, I STILL WANT THE ABILITY TO NOT HAVE IT APPLIED THOUGH, WHY AM I FORCED TO HAVE THE DAMN AMIRA LUT APPLIED? AND WHY DOES IT TAKE MORE STEPS TO TURN IT OFF NOW THAN IT DID BEFORE? Yes Sorry I was yelling.

Adobe released Premiere Pro 2022 this week, and I was playing with some Alexa footage, and looked at the source in the effects window and there is no AMIRA LUT anymore, but the LUT is still being applied. WHAT IS GOING ON?
Honestly I have been complaining about the damn AMIRA LUT for years, and I just wanted ADOBE to remove the fucking thing. I never want it automatically turned on, I want to work with the RAW footage and I can add an Adobe LUT if want it.
So in 2019 I have Alexa footage, that if I bring into the project it has the AMIRA Lut applied.
Now lets take a look in 2022, and it looks like in 2021 as well.
So it looks like Adobe saw that people were complaining about the AMIRA LUT being automatically added to footage and instead, of listening to us and just not adding it, they are now automatically adding it to any ALEXA footage you import into Premiere without the ability to remove it. WTF!!!!!
THIS IS NOT THE DAMN SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM ADOBE!!!!!

OK HERE IS HOW TO TURN OFF THE AMIRA LUT, given by a very helpful Adobe Engineer in the Adobe Premiere Pro Editors facebook group, though my post was removed for being too emotional, so the solution is no longer available there.
OK so you can remove the AMIRA LUT, in a different way than you previously did, but why am I forced to have this LUT Applied. Adobe give me a way to not have the AMIRA LUT applied! And why does it actually take more steps to remove the “Embedded” LUT than it previously did?
Of course I was also told by an Adobe Engineer on UserVoice that the new top navigation bar is far better than the old one, even though it takes more clicks to switch between workspaces, but enough people complained, and now we at least get 3 that can be at the top, so I will continue to complain. And especially when things are made even less efficient!
In Premiere Pro 2019 you could select all the clips, and right click and hit disable Master Clips, and this turned the AMIRA LUT off.
Now it is right click, sub menu, then another sub menu in another screen. And I have heard said now it is removed, but I am not so sure about that. If it was removed, the AMIRA LUT wouldn’t be re-selectable. The fact that it is called Embedded now I think means it is still there. I wonder if it is still causing project bloat as the AMIRA LUT had previously done?
All I want is for an option to not have AMIRA LUT added at all, if I want a Alexa Rec709 LUT I Can add it. Most other footage doesn’t force a LUT on it in Premiere, except maybe RAW.
I deleted my previous post on this, and posted an updated post at UserVoice.
