Question

Colorimetry export as an adjustment layer on older version of premiere pro

Hi everyone,

 

With a friend we recorded and edited a video clip. We wanted to split the colorgrading part but my friend works on an older version of premiere pro while I'm on the 25 one.

To give him the project, I exported the project in XML. In the .prproj file, the colorgrading was done with lumetri in adjustment layers, not directly in the clips. He can correctly open the file and go on with the edit on premiere pro 2021 but the adjustment layers with the colorgrading appear hatched, as when premiere can't find the source of a clip. The colorgrading obviously does not appear.

Do you know what could I do to send him tge colorgrading part ? Should I copy/paste the lumetri settings directly into the clips or is there a way to export the adjustment layers separately ? Maybe my question is stupid, I don't even know if it's possible, it's the first time I do colorimetry so any help is more than welcome ! Thanks in advance

The older version of Premiere cannot read the newer version's Lumetri effects. Period.

 

You would need to do a render/replace (including effects) or select all clips on the sequence and drag to a new bin ... then in the bin, select all, export media.

 

Either way you need to create new media for him to use to offline/online replace the clips on the sequence. 

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
