Color and luminance

Adjusting color and luminance

In video, color correction encompasses adjusting both the hue (color or chroma) and luminance (brightness and
contrast) in an image. Adjusting the color and luminance in video clips can create a mood, eliminate a color cast in
a clip, correct video that's too dark or too light, or set the levels to meet broadcast requirements or to match color
from scene to scene. Effects can also adjust the color and luminance to emphasize or de-emphasize a detail in a clip.
Adobe Premiere Pro's color and luminance adjusting effects can be found in the Color Correction bin inside the
Video Effects bin. Although there are other effects that adjust color and luminance, the Color Correction effects are
especially created for making very fine color and luminance corrections.
You apply the Color Correction effects to a clip the same way you apply all Standard effects. The effect properties are
adjusted in the Effect Controls panel. The Color Correction effects and other color effects are clip-based. However,
you can apply them to multiple clips by nesting sequences. For information about nesting sequences, see "Nesting
sequences" on page 148.
In addition to the Color Correction effects, you can also use the Broadcast Colors effect to adjust a clip's colors to
broadcast standards. For more information, see "Broadcast Colors effect" on page 346.
When color correcting, it's useful to use Adobe Premiere Pro's Vectorscope or waveform scopes (YC Waveform, RGB
Parade, and YCbCr Parade) to help you analyze the chroma and luminance in a clip. You can view a scope in a
separate Reference Monitor that's ganged to the Program Monitor so that you can check your video levels as you
make adjustments. For information about scopes, see "About the vectorscope and waveform monitors" on page 279.
