Premiere Pro: Matching Cameras & Composit Elements in After Effects & Using That Information in PP
Play Video
In this colour correction tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the tools in After Effects both to get excellent colour matching result in After Effects and also to provide information that can be copied into Premiere Pro to more quickly and intuitively achieve better colour matching in Premiere Pro than can easily be achieved with the present set of tool in Premiere Pro (recorded with CS5.5).
Andrew shows how to use both the right tool and specific colour channel views to visually match the channels to achieve the best results quickly and effectively. Use this to match footage from different cameras as well as matching elements to be composited into your composition so that they look as if they really belong together.

Premiere Pro: Matching Cameras
Play Video
In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows one approach to matching footage from different cameras. Sometimes, as editors, we receive footage from our clients that is from different cameras which may not have been set up in the same way. This can lead to a jarring effect when viewing the footage back as you switch between cameras which can distract your audience - a very big foe-par! But, matching cameras can be a difficult and frustrating process.
While the solution Andrew demonstrates isn't instantaneous and will require time to master, once mastered, it will enable you to quickly and effectively solve problems to (at the very least) ensure your audience isn't distracted when you switch cameras.

Premiere Pro: Sweetening Audio with Parametric EQ
Play Video
In this advanced Premiere Pro tutorial, Andrew Devis shows how to use the parametric equaliser in Premiere Pro and for CS5.5 in Audition and for CS4/5 in Soundbooth. The parametric eq is a simply and effective way to affect a whole series of frequencies in you audio to quickly and efficiently sweeten (or un-sweeten depending on what you want to do) your audio. However, the work-flow for CS5.5 and above and CS5/4 (and probably CS3) are different and so the tutorial starts with the work-flow for PP/Audition CS5.5 and above and then at 13:30 onwards looks at the work-flow for CS4/5 and Soundbooth including showing how to balance the volume level. Andrew also shows how to apply parametric eq directly in Premiere Pro even though this is a much less efficient way of applying the effect.
