COW Library : Adobe Premiere Pro basics Tutorials : Andrew Devis : Premiere Pro CS6 Techniques: 63 Color 16 Levels Effect
 In this tutorial, Andrew Devis shows that there is a levels effect in Premiere Pro which you may have used if you are a Photoshop or After Effects user. However, the levels effect in Premiere Pro can be both hard to find and hard to use, and according to Andrew, should not be your first port of call for brightness & contrast adjustments. That said, Andrew demonstrates how to use the level effect in Premiere Pro as well as showing its short-comings. |
