Auto Color in Basic Corrections Lumetri Panel

It's just showing Auto these days. It's the 'upgraded' version, but they seem to have dropped the "Tone" in the name.

That would be nifty if one could give it a default setting. From testing, I think it does about an 85% job on tonal corrections, though I normally zero out it's WB/sat settings. But still, getting that close on tonal stuff "bang" is great.

One thing I would suggest, especiall as you're working with mulitple cameras ... bulk corrections applied to the clips in a bin! I covered this with my 2021 MAX S565 session, "Thinking like a Colorist: Color Correction in Premiere Pro". Free for anyone to watch the half-hour show.

Take a camera, make a sequence of maybe one or a few clips from it. If multiple clips, do the Lumetri in an Adjustment layer so it applies to all clips. With one clip, just use the Lumetri panel in the color workspace on the clip.

Now ... "normalize" that clip to the tonal settings and color settings that work for that camera. Including using the Curves tab for any hue modifications to make it more "blendable" with other cams say if the skin tones are slightly yellower or greens a bit towards blue or yellow comparatively.

Now go to the Lumetri tab's 3-bar menu, and select "save as preset". Name and describe what happens in it.

Do that for your other cams in normal use.

Now ... you can simply select a bin of clips, drag/drop the appropriate preset you've made onto the group, and that Lumetri instance will be applied to all of the clips' "Source" settings. And show in any use of any bit of any of those clips anywhere in the project.

This is the fast and accurate way to 'normalize' tons of clips in bulk corrections. Doing this can make shotmatching so much faster and better in results.

There's a few things from the public beta that weren't included in the first 22.x "shipping" release. This might have been one, I forgot to check yesterday if it was there!
