Fix fluxuating white balance changes in clip

Question

Greetings fellow users. This is my first post, and I'm glad to be here.

I am stuck on a trying to fix a long video clip (90 min) in which the footage did not get a good color balance setting when video was shot (it remained on some auto white balance setting which changed constantly, depending on where the camera was pointing). Now there must be some Premier magic that can happen to correct this issue. If you could be of any help here, I would love to hear from you. Footage was shot on a Panasonic camera, format was AVHC.

Many thank yous in advance!

AVCHD ... with auto white balance, the camera pointed various directions for 90 minutes ... Oh. Joy.

Probably the best thing would be to go through, and put clip markers on the various main color whatevers ... hopefully, several are consistent when the camera is pointed 'x' way .... then cut the clip into sections, grade one section, move to the next, balance back using Comparison view in the Color workspace.

If several sections have close WB ... you can copy/paste those from the earlier to later instances.

It's gonna be a slog ...
