  • Matching scene colors in Premiere Pro 2.0

    Posted by Contrain on September 12, 2006 at 4:51 am

    I have an interview and part of it is darker that the other part, I’d like to match the color of the two scenes, is there any way to do this that can take the color format of one scene and apply it to another?

    I’ve looked at the Adobe help page on this and it wasn’t very clear to me.

    Thanks in advance,

    There is no magic bullet solution. I would use the Levels effect (not auto levels) to bring the luminace of one clip up just a bit and the other clip down just a bit.

    OK, but what about the color matching steps in Premiere Pro, do you know anything about how to do that?

    The Fast Color Corrector is a great tool! Begin with the White Ballance function to correct both clips, that should bring colors pretty close. You may need to desaturate (HSL) one clip to complete the correction.

    setup the two clips as a split screen, so as you adjust one clip you see how it compares to the other. You may need to flip flop between the two clips to get them close. Then you can copy and paste attributes from the corrected dark clip to the other similarly corrected dark clips, etc.
