# Adobe Quick Start

## Install and activate LensNode

1. Sign in to your [Video Village Account](https://license.videovillage.com) and find your LensNode license page.
2. Download the **Video Village Plugins** app.
3. On the license page, select `Activate on this device` to launch the Video Village Plugins app and install your license automatically.

### If you can't open the activation link

Select `Get activation code` on the license page and copy the code. Open the Video Village Plugins app, select `Activate a product`, then paste the code when prompted.

4. In the Video Village Plugins app, select `Adobe`, then select `Install`. (Premiere Pro and After Effects must not be running during installation.)

## Add LensNode as an effect

In Premiere Pro, find **LensNode** in the `Effects` panel and drag it onto a clip or an adjustment layer. In After Effects, apply **LensNode** to a layer from the `Effect` menu. Keep LensNode after any technical input conversions and after any creative corrections, but before your conversion to your final output color space or film emulation.

## Set your input color space

LensNode expects a scene-referred input. If your footage is camera log, set **Input Color Space** to the matching camera space. If another transform has already adapted the image into an intermediate working space, set **Input Color Space** to that space instead.

## Pick a lens and shape the look

Pick a lens with the **Manufacturer** , **Family** , and **Variant** dropdowns, then shape the result with **Master Blend** and **Overdrive** , and refine each characteristic in **Individual Controls**. The full guide covers every parameter.
