Hi,

I just started using Premiere Pro and on my project I noticed that when I add a clip, it automatically is color corrected. When I right click to remove attributes there are no attributes to remove. How can I add clips in it's original colors so that I can color correct them manually? Thanks

Did you try to create a new sequence and paste the footage in there? That helped for me when PPRO decided to change the colorspace without ACTUALLY changing the colorspace.

    That isn't any 'auto-color' ... it's a color management issue. You're using a (probably) HLG clip, a form of HDR, on a Rec.709/SDR timeline.

     

    Select one or more clips in the project panel, right-click/Modify/Interpret Footage. The new color management tools are at the bottom.

     

    Set the Override to Rec.709 option.

    Hi Neil,

    What is the workflow when someone is using Premiere Productions? Overriding doesn't seem to work for me, because the footage is being stored in a different project then the project holding the sequences. Once you 'forget' to override to Rec. 709 from the beginning (once importing the footage into Productions, dropping it on a timeline) it seems impossible to 'relink' the modification.

    Isn't there an easier way instead of removing the old footage and having to import it again? That seems to be the only way for Premiere to recognize the footage to be 'flat'.

    Thanks.

    Maybe I should add:

    I'm importing all footage into a Footage project within a Productions project. Within that Footage project, I'm dropping all clips onto a sequence. That sequence is being moved to a separate sequence project.

    Once you forget to modify the Interpret Footage from the start, the only way to make a colorless export from your edit is to move the sequence back to the Footage project (as if the sequence needs that project to reestablish the 'connection' with the footage), and only then you are able to make an export without colors.

    Is that really the only way to make a 'flat' export for graders who work within (for example) DaVinci Resolve? If so, why would Adobe change their software in such a drastic way that you can't just switch back to the way how things worked before the recent Color Management update? That really messed up our workflow.
