Chapter 4, Setting Up Realtime Effects with Adobe Premiere Pro
Matching colors between two clips
You can perform a color match to match colors between two clips (such as skin
tone, sky, etc.). The color match lets you select colors from a reference clip to
match to your target clip. You can affect the colors globally (
Master), or just the
Shadows, Midtones, or Highlights.
You can select the colors for your reference color and match color by either
clicking the Color Picker button or the eyedropper.
The eyedropper can be used in two ways:
$ Click the eyedropper button and click on the desired color in your clip.
$ Click the eyedropper button and click and drag anywhere on your clip to
create a rectangular area containing the color you want to select. The
selected color will be an average of the pixel information contained within
the rectangle.
°To perform a color match:
1 Prepare your workspace for color correction by choosing Window >
Workspace > Color Correction
.
2 Open your target clip (clip that contains the colors you want to correct) in the
Source Monitor.
¦NoteFor best results when using a target clip that has multiple effects
applied to it, create a nested sequence and open it in your Source Monitor
before performing the color match. For more information about creating
nested sequences, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation.
3 Apply the Matrox Color Correction effect to your target clip on the
timeline.
4 Use the controls under the Reference Monitor to move to a frame in your
reference clip that contains the colors you want to match.
5 Use the controls under the Source Monitor to go to the frame in your target
clip that contains the colors you want to match to your reference clip.
