Chapter 3, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro

Overview of the color maps

The color maps let you adjust the balance of colors in your target clip. Depending

on which color map you use, you can affect your clip globally, or only the

shadows, midtones, or highlights:

i Reference clip color box Shows the selected color you want to match

from your reference clip.

 Target clip color box Shows the selected target color that you want to

match to the reference color.

 Color map You can drag the crosshair throughout the map to fine-tune

your selected target color. For details, see “Fine-tuning your color match

effect” on page 39. To return to default values, double-click the crosshair or

the color map.

 Color balance values for each axis of the color map (cyan to red, magenta to

green, and yellow to blue).

¦NoteIf Match to luma levels ( ) is selected while performing your color

match, you’ll affect the input and output luminance values as well as the color

balance of your clip (by default,

Match to luma levels is selected). For more

information, see “Fine-tuning your color match effect” on page 39. Select

Preserve luminosity to maintain the luminosity (tonal balance) in your clip

while changing colors.

Performing an auto balance on your target clip

Before matching colors, you can perform an auto balance on your target clip to

automatically apply a color shift to compensate for different lighting conditions.

°To perform an auto balance, do one of the following:

$ Click the target clip color box for the tonal range you want to affect

(shadows, midtones, highlights, or global) to display a tracking rectangle

in the

Preview Window. Resize and drag the tracking rectangle to an

appropriate area of your target clip. For example, to balance your clip’s

highlights, click the

Highlights target clip color box, and place the tracking

rectangle over the lightest area of your target clip.
