Suggestion - Premier Color Correction

I’m new to Premier and I’m trying to work with color correction.

I think that if Adobe would create a plug-in that if you simply put a color card (x-rite color) in front of your shot. It would have the white, grey and black, plus to have some other colors, red, blue, green, yellow, … and then you would assign which color on the card is in the plug-in, it would create a perfect color balancing for an initial start point.

I think this would be the simplest way to have white balance and correct color balance.

I hope that you can implement this!!!

Yes, I know about the scopes and everything, but the problems with the scope is that you have to go in manually and set each clip up, playing around with the black and white and then try to guess at the skin tone.

What I'm asking for, is for a preset or plug-in that if you have an approved color card from adobe, with a color picker, you would pick the white color from the chart, then you will pick the black color of the card, then the red color, then the blue color, then green and then some other colors that adobe would select. You will have 6 to 10 colors, which have been predefined by Adobe, and whatever the lighting will be, the these colors are standard and then the preset will automatically correct the color of your clip.

These colors will be your starting point, where no matter, how the lighting is, the color result will be the same.

This is also helpful if you have a multi-camera shoot that have different cameras types.

The colorist will save alot of time spent to initialize each clip.

this makes luts to match color charts, but its not a plugin in premiere. its separate.

a lot of the code is floating around the old rebelcc ae preset. or you could xml from resolve(as it has this color match feature built in)

you can also simply use the crop tool down to one color and watch premiere's scopes line up with that one color. save as preset.

if you know how to read scopes, color charts aren't needed as you use them to neutralize whatever you have. if each shot gets neutralized, then every shot matches. now you can add one adjustment layer for all and everything matches. the problem with charts is the angle of the sun reflecting off them and fading the color. there're just for a rough estimate anyway.
