I'm trying to keep all color correction inside of Premiere without having to round trip Resolve - this would definitely keep me in Premiere

Yes, I agree: there is a kludge where you can take the image of the colour chart into Resolve, which can create a colour correction from that. You can then create the LUT from that and bring it into Premiere.
However, it’d be great to have this feature in Premiere itself, and for a variety of targets too: Datacolor as well as X-rite.

Well. Mr Anonymous. I guess you've never worked with footage that wasn't shot with rec709 specs?

Doing shoots using color charts to match colors between scenes and cameras have been a staple of color motion photography since at least the belated "lily" of three strip technicolor fame in the 30s.

It's a great tool in video (as in digital photography) to identify how a standardized set of colors change in specific lighting conditions and is then used to create a LUT to bring those colors into the desired specs of your choosing. Even if you are chooting slightly off white balance in a log format. If you have a standardized set of colors where you can point premiere to and say "this is ff0000" and "this is ccff22" etc you can quickly generate that desired LUT. This goes even quicker if the colors in question are arranged in a standardized grid so the editor only has to point out the corners of the chart and the NLE will find however many dozen the individual samples are automatically.

This is done on a clip basis to make the colors accurate to the specs you define (rec709 for instance) and is very much within what can be expected from a NLE or a plugin therein and is not a question of calibrating the playback monitor itself. Because if the colors in the clip aren't correct then calibrating the monitor will not help at all.

Hope I cleared things up more than I rambled. 🙂

I totally agree. We use the charts with almost every shoot. A plug-in would speed up the workflow and save time.

These charts are essential for matching various types of cameras on the same shoot. All of the charts supported in Resolve should absolutely be supported in Premiere with the CLICK OF A BUTTON!!
