Just updated - No more Lumetri Color panel. So annoying. Years and years of fast turnaround and quick color editing, gone. I stuck with premiere because I don’t like all the color wheels and fancy adjustments that the davinci users love. I like my quick and easy color editing. Very disappointed in Adobe for removing this and adding a whole color tab. Why?

I understand you can still find the Lumetri Color "effect" in the effects tab but that means I now have to drag and drop the effect over every clip. so dumb....

I cant be the only one that feels this way.

Just add the Lumetri Color tab back please.

You do not have to do one clip at a time: you can select a bunch of clips on the timeline, double-click on the Lumetri in the effects palet. The effect has been added to all clips in one go.

You’re not alone! And in the YouTube videos there are a lot of people asking for it to return too. If they’re keeping it as an effect, even if it’s tagged as legacy, it can’t be that difficult to keep the panel too.

I enjoyed Lumetri Color, I don’t mind the new interfacing cause it reminds me of Davinci however (and maybe I haven’t looked hard enough) but I am missing the curves layer, highlights. darks, shadows etc. The way it adds contrast is weird. The one thing davinci has is the fact that you can change exposure through each wheel (i.e. highlights, shadows) etc. As well as the color of each wheel. This doesn’t feel as custom. It would be a great addition to Lumetri but yeah I am not a fan and will probably switch to Davinci for all color grading.

You have zones for color, contrast, and saturation … and you can affect the values for each of those separately … so you have an amazing level of control. AND unlike most mouse things, you’re working two different things at the same time! … which is almost like using a control surface.

With the zones, this is actually very much like the 9-way wheels of SpeedGrade, which gave a curves-like control doable from a control surface.

That’s great except the color mode doesn’t currently support control surfaces, and most of the people here don’t even USE control surfaces. There was a good method that worked for everyone extremely well, and they removed it and replaced it with a half-baked broken update. Stop pretending this is anything close to a good idea.

Lumetri was only technology using old color science. The only way for Adobe to move Premiere’s color engine into a more modern era was to redo it. I would challenge you to spend some time in Color Mode and don’t just dismiss it because it is different from Lumetri and requires some new learning. Understand how it works and how to use it and you may find you like it better. It has many advantages over Lumetri and will get better and better as Adobe continues to refine it, add features and kill bugs.

I understand. It would be nice to have a dedicated space for these new tools in a more compact interface then having to do any color work in a completely different workspace. I understand you can make slight color adjustments in the properties tab, but why not just make a “color” tab and consolidate the new color mode into a tab, giving us the ability to make color adjustments while on the “editing” page….
