The image below is using the Channel Mixer in Premiere 2017 vs 2024

The channel mixer settings are the same but why are the results so different? Is this a bug? (After Effects 2024, colour mixer produces the same effects as Premiere 2017)

This version of Premiere is 24.1.0 (build 85) on Windows 11

I work for/with/teach pro colorists, and have been working between Adobe apps and Resolve for over a decade. The colorists I work with did not ever trust the Channel Mixer's math. That effect, and a couple other of the "obsolete" color effects, could be made to break an image pretty easily.

So I'm with Ann. It's in the "obsolete" bin for a reason, a very good reason.

I do wish we had a good replacement for it though. Ah well.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Thanks for the added info, I hadn't seen it was in the obsolete bin, as I was just loading it from an older project.

Using the colour mixer in Photoshop and then exporting that as a LUT and importing that into Lumetri works for my project, but it's not exactly a simple process.
