Setting up a Colour Workspace in Premiere Pro
Premiere Pro has a preset workspace intended for colour correction and grading.
Navigate to the ‘Color’ workspace
Open your Lumetri Scopes panel in the source panel when using Lumetri Colour to view your colour scopes.
If you can’t see the ‘Color’ panel on your premiere pro interface, click ‘Window’, ‘Workspaces’ & then ‘Color’.
Scopes
Scopes are helpful visual aids in the colour correction and grading process.
Basic Correction
Input LUT: Use this to apply a preset colour adjustment.
Temperature: Measures colour on a warm-cool spectrum.
Cold: Blue, green & purple tones Warm: Orange, red & yellow tones
This is the easiest tool for correcting white balance issues.
Tint: A shade or type of colour.
This is useful when paired with alterations in temperature to correct white balance issues.
Saturation: The intensity of the colours in your footage.
Bright and vivid colours indicate high saturation, whereas subdued colours indicate low saturation.
Exposure: The amount of light in your footage.
If your footage is too light it is overexposed, if it’s too dark it is underexposed.
Contrast: The difference between individual hues that make elements in your footage distinguishable.
Extremely bright and dark parts indicate high contrast, a range of tones indicate medium contrast and no pure whites and blacks, with a range of medium tones indicate low contrast.
Highlights, shadows, whites & blacks are similar but not exactly the same.
Highlights: The brightness in your footage.
Use this slider to brighten the footage without altering the whites. This can be used along with the ‘whites’ slider to ensure the footage doesn’t become “blown out.”
Shadows: A dark area where light has been blocked by an object.
Use this slider to darken the footage without altering the blacks. This can be used along with the ‘blacks’ slider, to stop the footage from losing detail.
Whites: The white point in your footage, that alters the brightness of your footage.
Use this slider to adjust the white point in your footage - generally using this before your ‘highlights’ slider is better because you can set your white point and alter the highlights from there.
Blacks: The black point in your footage, that alters the darkness of your footage.
Use this slider to adjust the black point in your footage - generally using this before your ‘shadows’ slider is better because you can set your black point and alter the shadows from there.
The check mark in the top right hand corner of the ‘Basic Correction’ tab allows you to preview your changes.
