Have a nice day. Color Balance HLS effect stopped showing in Obsolete effects. I've been using it practically daily, it's a huge deal for me! Please put it back or tell me how to set H to -5 in a few steps.
Spinning every shot with wheels is complete nonsense.
I don't understand what was wrong with such a simple effect in the program that it had to go away.
Sorry for my English, Google.

You can achieve a similar effect using the Hue vs Hue curve in the Lumetri Color panel.
It's also worth noting that effects in the Obsolete folder, including the Color Balance (HLS) effect, have been removed in Premiere Pro 24.6.
For more details, you can refer to this guide: Adjust Color Using RGB and HSL Curves.

And why so complicated?
And also inaccurate!
You can't set the value, it drags the mouse, yes, sometimes these functions come in handy, but for such a quick adjustment, it's unnecessary and inaccurate.
The line is clicked and never clicked the same way and the result is not so good. Lengthy, unnecessarily laborious. Why why why??? I don't see a single reason to remove something as simple and functional as a simple number entry on three lines!!!
Terrible!!!
Is there any way to get the feature back?
Because of this, I went back to the original version, where zooming in on the timeline with the mouse does not work again. So I was finally happy that this was fixed in the new version and... Aaaaah

It would be enough to add an adjustment using a number to the HUE vs HUE function. To clearly see which part of the scale we are on. And it is solved.
But this has to be picked up before the original effects are removed, not the other way around!

Well, no, it wasn't enough. It just behaves differently. The result is ugly. Please give it back!

That was ancient code, and ... several pro colorists I know had tested it, and found the math basis seriously flawed. It may seem quick and easy, but it's a badly designed mashup.
Yes, it would be nice to have say numbers available in the HSL curves, but ... make sure you have the Vectorscope up, and view the change in the scope as you apply changes to the curves. Practically, it can work, and work better than the old obsolete effects.
That said, I have complained over the EOL decision for SpeedGrade years ago, to the point of being clearly disliked by a previous Premiere manager, even though I was always ... politely, if constantly ... noting the problems that would come from that choice. For Adobe and the users.
I've politely requested massive upgrades in Lumetri since it appeared, as it does have many limitations. Even if in most cases the math involved is far better than most of the Obsolete effects used. Still, it could use some work.
And the 25.x public beta includes massive further changes. Needed, but of course, as video color is actually pretty complex ... I'll be needing to help a lot of people through the changes coming.
