Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 66 Color 19: Change to Color
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the 'Change to Color' effect while also showing the importance of masking out the area of the footage that you wish to effect. Once again, the same effect can be had by using secondary color correction in the three way color corrector and once a mask has been created the hue can then be changed. The advantage of the three way version is a greater degree of control while the advantage of the 'Change to Color' effect is speed and ease of use.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 65 Color 18: Leave Color Effect
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the 'Leave Color' effect as well as a simple compositing technique to be able to focus on just the item needing to be shown without having to worry about similar colors in other parts of your shot. While the 'Leave Color' effect is powerful, it is also a simple approach which may or may not work for you depending on the footage you are working with. If you are not getting the results you want with the 'Leave Color' effect, then you may wish to use the secondary color correction techniques shown in previous tutorials to obtain a similar and slightly more controllable result.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 59 Color 12: Luma Corrector
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the Luma Corrector to change the brightness and contrast of your shot without flattening the shot. The temptation is to use the 'Brightness & Contrast' effect in Premiere Pro which is a very old effect and shouldn't really be used as it tends to squash or reduce the luma range of a shot thus lowing its quality over all. The Luma Corrector is a much more powerful tool and will work with the shot to improve it and increase the luma range giving you much more control.

Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 52 Color SIX: Output Levels
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis explains the level sliders in the 'Fast Color Corrector,' which help us to set up the contrast of a shot as well as change the brightness of a shot. This way of dealing with brightness and contrast is significantly better than using the 'Brightness & Contrast,' effect which tends to crush your luminance ranges and so degrade your shot. Andrew explains both the input and output sliders and show what a difference they can make to a poorly lit shot.
