It seems that the new Premiere Pro version that came out a few weeks ago does not include the fast color corrector effect, it disappeared from my video effects list after I updated, has Adobe deleted this effect?

    Correct answer Kevin J. Monahan Jr.

    It's in the Legacy folder, for older projects that have it already

    Actually, the "Obsolete" folder.

    Cheers!

    The Fast Color Corrector seems to be completely gone now. I only used it for one thing, skin tones. It was instant. It took me seconds to get perfect skin tones. No other tool does what the FCC did. I want it back. Is there a replacement plugin or something?

    The FCC was in the Obsolete folder for several years, meaning it wasn't going to be updated. On the newest Macs, they use a different coding process, so the entire Obsolete folder set went buh-bye.

     

    The Lumetri effect easily handles skin tones. Especially in the Curves section. Use the Hue v Hue curve, select your skin-tone, and move it either more red or yellow.

     

    Or use the Secondaries tab and select a range of tones, and move them as thou wist.

     

    And btw ... the Lumetri effect has much better math behind it than the old FCC, one of the reasons that was junked.

    This absolutely does not work for people who embedded it in projects. There should have been (and currently should be) a big warning in red letters on the "Obsolete" or "Legacy" folder that ACTUALLY COMMUNICATES this to users as a threat... whether you think it should have been obvious with YOUR education or not... rather than just implying it in a way that devs think is logical. Because that warning is absolutely not present.

    The reason people are not happy is: the fact that bad communication is happening regularly. So many things are being done to our projects without warning that it's worthy of class-action... but Adobe reps just keep responding with essentially, "We talked about it around our offices for years, how could you not know? Weren't you in on the thing we didn't say?" It's become ridiculous.

    +1 on Lumetri.  Yes, there is a slight impact on performance. If you rig is setup correctly, it should be negligible.   I'm sure the fast CC will be gone in the next update, so start learning now.

    Tip, start using the search bars in panels to quickly find things:

    The Lumetri effect is far superior.  You should try that instead.
