Five Advanced Color Techniques for Premiere Pro

Working with color in video is a bit different than working with it in images, and it is important to learn the proper techniques and order of operations to produce the best quality footage possible. This excellent video will show you five techniques for more refined color correction when working in Premiere Pro.

Coming to you from Jordy with Cinecom.net, this great video will show you five helpful techniques for creating better color in Premiere Pro. Of course, it is important to remember that you have to approach color in video a bit differently than in photos. In still images, you have the beauty of the raw file format, which allows you to push color around pretty much as much as you want without penalty. On the other hand, almost no one works with raw video, and as such, it is much more important to get color (and exposure) as close as possible in camera. However, you will still likely want to make minor adjustments in post, and of course, color is one of the best places to add your own personal style to your work. Check out the video above for lots of helpful tips.

"almost no one works with raw video" ...with the advent of BRAW (on newer Blackmagic cameras), ProRes RAW (now on Nikon Z6 & 7), Cinema RAW Light (Canon cinema cameras C200 etc and the new 1DXiii)....and even as DNG RAW on all the now older Blackmagic cameras, original Pocket, Cinema and Ursa's...many videographers/filmmakers are actually shooting video in RAW
