USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 318 Effects and transitions • To shift the colors toward a target color with gain and magnitude adjustment, drag the Balance Magnitude circle out from the center toward the color you want introduced into the image. The farther you drag the Balance Magnitude from the center, the introduced color is more intense. Drag the Balance Gain handle to fine-tune the intensity of the Balance Magnitude adjustment. You can make the adjustment very subtle. Adjusting the Balance Gain to fine-tune the Balance Magnitude setting. Note: The Three-way Color Corrector effect lets you make separate adjustments to the three tonal ranges using individual wheels for the shadows, midtones, and highlights. 7 Use the Saturation control to adjust the color saturation in the image. Moving the slider to the left (lower value) desaturates the colors. Moving the slider to the right (higher values) increases the color saturation. More Help topics Editing and color correcting video Adjust color and luminance using curves The curves adjustment of the Luma Curve and the RGB Curves effects, like the Levels sliders in the Fast Color Corrector and the Three-way Color Corrector effects, let you adjust the entire tonal range or just a selected range of colors in a video clip. But unlike Levels, which has only three adjustments (black level, gray level, and white level), the Luma Curve and RGB Curves let you adjust up to 16 different points throughout an image's tonal range (from shadows to highlights). Opening a scope in a Reference Monitor that's ganged to the Program Monitor lets you view the luminance, chrominance, or both values as you make the curves adjustments. If you're using the Vectorscope, there should be minimal green shading in the areas outside of the center of the scope. Areas outside the center define the level of color saturation. 1 In the Effects panel, click the triangle to expand the Video Effects bin, and then click the triangle to expand the Color Correction bin. 2 Drag one of the following effects to the clip in a Timeline panel: Luma Curve Adjusts primarily luminance. Keep in mind that adjusting the luminance does affect the perceived saturation of the colors. RGB Curves Adjusts both color and luminance. Note: If a clip is selected in a Timeline panel, you can drag the effect to the Video Effects section of the Effect Controls panel. 3 In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle to expand the Luma Curve or RGB Curves controls.
