Where is the black adjustment in the new color panel? I'm having trouble finding the effects that were in the old Lumetri panel. This new panel is very good, I just want to know where to find certain effects that were in the old Lumetri panel with the black adjustment.

Where are features like color match and lumetri auto color? Is there any way we can use lumetri in the new beta?

They’ve talked about this, and HEAVILY, at NAB this week.

As noted in all their discussions and documentation and such, this is not completely finished nor will it be until at least September I’d guess. Probably longer.

All they can say is that there are a lot more things coming, including the auto-color and match, but they’re not ready for the public beta testing yet. No timelines are ever given, of course. Not by Adobe nor BlackMagic nor anyone in the biz.

And of course Lumetri is still available in the public beta. That installs separately, never replaces the current “shipping” version, so you can and should have the public beta installed and every so often make sure it’s the lastest and spend a few minutes poking around it. With test projects.

The Black level is the horizontal movement of the Exposure control when in full-range ‘zone’ setting. Exposure is vertical movement, Blacks is horizontal.

Like the Contrast control, where vertical is Contrast, horizontal sets the Pivot point … which we’ve not had in Premiere before.

Thanks Neil.

I just updated and haven't encountered any crashes or bugs yet. Let's see when I'm editing a long, large document. I like the interface of this new color panel; it's somewhat reminiscent of Da Vinci.

Folks, there are some major changes here. Especially the new Color page.

As someone who works for/with/teaches pro colorists, and “flies” a full Tangent Elements panel in both Premiere and Resolve for years, this new Color Page is ... an entirely different approach to visually working with color and tonality.

Very different!!!!!!!!!!!

So do yourself a favor and look through their documentation, and especially some of the vids, particularly the ones by Alexis Van Hurkman, legendary colorist/author teacher of SpeedGrade, Resolve, and now the Color Page in Premiere. This whole thing came out of that marvelous skull of his, bounced around Jason Druss and the others on the enlarged Premiere color team. It’s been an honor to test this, even if I was puzzled about it much of the time!

This is designed to allow us to push or twist or pull color hues and sat and tonal ranges fluidly and ... more visually than anything I’ve ever worked with. It takes time to start getting how to do things down ... but oh my, what you can do now is stunning.

I fought film for over 25 years, that was nasty stuff, every ‘type’ had different emulsion batches that weren’t the same, and wow, you had to be a tech wizard to get consistent and good results. I have never been a fan of trying to force the new and amazing capabilities of digital capture into the tight strictures of “film” ... which was only like that because they couldn’t do anything else.

While you can push the color page towards “film emulations” ... oh my good GRAVY you can push tonality and color to lush, new places we could never go before!
