Feature request: exclude individual clips from sequence level color operations in Color mode

Version: Premiere (beta) 27.1

In Color mode, I cannot exclude individual clips from a sequence level color operation. Preserve RGB only bypasses the input to working color space conversion, so it does not solve this.

Use case: I apply a look at sequence level, but some clips need to stay ungraded or use a different look, for example client supplied footage, archive material, or clips that are already graded.

Current workaround: I create a separate sequence, apply the grade I want there, then nest or copy the clips into a final timeline. This adds extra sequences and makes revisions harder to manage.

Request: a per clip toggle to disable or bypass sequence level operations, for example in the Clip Grid or Color Controls.

Happy to provide extra details when needed.

    Create separate groups then for those clips. The whole concept behind Color Mode is the use of groups to speed and simplify color manipulations. Especially as it sounds like you often do have several clips of the same need. Just make them into their own group.

     

    Having learned to do that, it’s very fast in operation.

    シー​​​

    シーケンスレベルでカラー調整を行った場合、編集モードのタイムラインにオプションが表示されます。
    「上位のトラックにはシーケンスカラー調整を適用しない」という選択が可能になります。

    This work!! I had to translate, but this is the fix that I, too was looking for. Here is the AI summary: 

    1. Switch to Edit mode or look at your active timeline.
    2. Locate the Sequence Style / Color Adjustment indicator settings attached to your track headers or timeline configuration.
    3. Toggle the option: "Do not apply sequence color adjustments to upper tracks" (or the corresponding track exemption limit).
    4. Place all your branded motion graphics and title templates exclusively on the tracks above this designated cutoff line to keep them completely untouched by global look passes.
