  null out & correct color cast in w eyedropper tool in Premiere CC?

  Posted by Paul Dougherty on July 23, 2014 at 2:55 pm

  Is there an eyedropper tool in Premiere CC like the one in FCP (3 way color correct effect) that allows one to use an eyedropper on what should be a neutral gray or white in an image and (instantly) null out and correct for a color cast? That is to make white “true white” or grey “true grey” This is how on FCP tutorial put it…

  The eyedropper tool allows you to select a specific portion of your image that best represents true white, black or gray (midtone). Final Cut Pro will then readjustment the color automatically.

  Note that this is not a “change color” effect that is only working on one shade of grey but rather treating the image as a whole, pulling a bad color cast out of all the greys/gamma etc.

  For that matters there something similar in Photoshop and After Effects?

  Thanks,

  Paul

  [Paul Dougherty] “The eyedropper tool “

  Try the Effects > Color Correction > Three-Way Color Corrector

  (Note also if you do any 3-way color corrector in FCP7 and XML out of 7 and into PP, the above mentioned effect will be applied, which is very helpful.)

  Thanks Richard, as best I can tell the eye dropper tools in Premiere (3 way CC) do not work the same way as FCP. I will try the XML you suggest but would really like to do this correction natively in Premiere

  This technique is a great and easy way to white balance clips in Premiere. I find it more accurate than the eye-dropper/3-way Color Corrector in FCP.
