Color Management Panel

There are a good number of new color management settings and changed color management defaults in the 2022 release. I would expect we will be getting more as we go along. This is becoming a nightmare to manage!

We need a single panel. One with perhaps two tabs:
1) The overall Default options for color management settings, and for default options for various media types.

2) The Override tab for clip or sequence overrides, covering the same items as in no. 1.

Essentially, One Panel To Rule Them All.

    Super important. And I would recommend a comprehensive learning resource so that people of any skill level can use CM without making mistakes that would have terrible downstream consequences for their work.

    Here you also need a setting to restore overexposed frames. Often, clients provide materials where some moments are ruined by excessive light from camera sensors. To save details in light areas, this function is extremely important. Another thing that is needed on the color page is matching frames by black and white points, not just the entire frame. Because the Match Frame that exists now, it overwhelmingly does not always bring results.

    Streamlining the color management workflow would remove the unnecessary but persistent dread of opening Premiere Pro.

    The Default of HDR Colour space on MXF Footage is a complete nightmare. Existing unfinished projects have become a mess...

    Would be great to be able to set your defaults of how you want footage handled, instead of having to individually change the Interpret settings for every individual clip.

    If you want to obtain any color consistency throughout the workflow, this should be an integral part of the start of most any project!

    And this should be a full Panel ... floatable, dockable, available from the Windows menu where the rest of the Panels are located.
    Everyone's mileage always varies ...

    please sort this out - adding 709 as a default CS is maddening - footage should be displayed as imported and then CM decisions can be made

    Just wasted a day on trying to figure this out! Professionals don't have time to deal with issues like this. Time is precious. A software update should make things better and more efficient, not the opposite. Please listen and sort this out.

    Adobe developers, do you hear the opinion of users??? How much writing does it take for you to solve the **** color management setup. I've been tormented by setting up this nightmarish color redefinition, which doesn't work properly and spoils the clips on the timeline.
