Need help with Colour Correcting in CS3
Hi there,
I have just started using Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC and am trying to edit together a film that I shot last month for my University interviews that are coming up in the next few weeks.
I have the whole shoot (60 mins) in one continuous file and have been chopping and arranging the sections that I want to keep in Premiere pro CS3.
My question is: How do I colour correct a number of seperate slices with the same colour correction properties?
I can add colour correction to one slice of my film e.g. a shot of a woman that is slightly too red, but I cant work out how to apply that same colour correction to the other slices of the same shot that are throughout my entire film.
I could just add a new colour correction effect to each slice that needs correction but there must be a faster way to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Dan,
If you havent figured this out already:
Copy the edit that has the color correction applied. Then select the edits that you would like to apply the same correction to by holding down shift and clicking on them. From there right click on one of the selected files and select paste properties.
This should save you loads of time.

Aah, that makes sense. So if I paste the properties, in this case colour correction, to the frames that I want, when I change the colour correction will it apply to all the frames that I selected? This means that I could edit the colours in one place and it will automatically apply to all the frames that I selected.
Thanks

Unfortunately not. Each occurrence will have to be edited individually or you will have to remove the filter and do the copy paste actions again. Be careful not to add multiple color correction filters. It may degrade image quality and add to the rendering time. Unless that is what your intentions were. Good luck.
