USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 356 Effects and transitions Equalize effect The Equalize effect alters an image's pixel values to produce a more consistent brightness or color component distribution. The effect works similarly to the Equalize command in Adobe Photoshop. Pixels with 0 alpha (transparent) values aren't considered. Richard Harrington provides a video tutorial on the Creative COW website that shows how to use the Equalize effect to correct color and exposure. Equalize RGB equalizes the image based on red, green, and blue components. Brightness equalizes the image based on the brightness of each pixel. Photoshop Style equalizes by redistributing the brightness values of the pixels in an image so that they more evenly represent the entire range of brightness levels. Amount To Equalize How much to redistribute the brightness values. At 100%, the pixel values are spread as evenly as possible; lower percentages redistribute fewer pixel values. Fast Color Corrector effect The Fast Color Corrector effect adjusts a clip's color using hue and saturation controls. This effect also has levels controls for adjusting intensity levels of image shadows, midtones, and highlights. This effect is recommended for making simple color corrections that preview quickly in the Program monitor. Here are links to some additional resources describing the Fast Color Corrector effect: • Using the Fast Color Corrector Effect by Karl Soule • Basics of Color Correction podcast with Aanarav Sareen • Color Correction Made Simple by Charlie White In this tutorial Andrew Devis from Creative Cow demonstrates how to use the Fast Color Corrector for primary color correction. Jeff Sengstack explains how to work with the Fast Color Corrector in his article, "Streamlining Color Correction in Premiere Pro" on the Pro Video Coalition website. Output Lets you view adjustments in the Program monitor as the final results (Composite), tonal value adjustments (Luma), or display of the alpha matte (Mask). Show Split View Displays the left or upper part of the image as the corrected view and the right or lower part of the image as the uncorrected view. Layout Determines whether the Split View images are side by side (Horizontal) or above and below (Vertical). Split View Percent Adjusts the size of the corrected view. The default is 50%. White Balance Assigns a white balance to an image using the Eyedropper tool to sample a target color in the image or anywhere on your monitor's desktop. You can also click the color swatch to open the Adobe Color Picker and select a color to define the white balance. Hue Balance And Angle Controls hue balance and hue angle using a color wheel. The small circle moves about the center of the wheel and controls the hue (UV) translation. This changes the balance magnitude and balance angle. The small perpendicular line sets the relative coarseness/fineness of the control, which controls the balance gain. Adjustments to the Hue Balance And Angle can be viewed in the vectorscope. Hue Angle Controls the hue rotation. The default value is 0. Negative values rotate the color wheel to the left and positive values rotate the color wheel to the right. Balance Magnitude Controls the amount of color balance correction as determined by the Balance Angle. Last updated 1/16/2012
