"Why does my footage look darker in Premiere?" Color Q&A

[rodneyb56060189]

there are two basic color temperatures measured in kelvin color degrees. This is true for film cameras and digital cameras. They are blue ( daylight = 56k ) and orange ( tungsten interior = 32k ).

Most digital prosumer cameras today have the option of setting those temps ( called WHITE BALANCE on digital cameras ) manually or automatically.

If shooting inside a house with lights on in house, and a window that looks out into daylight outside... it is fairly common that the stuff out the window will look a little blue. The higher the color temp the more blue it is. Lower temps turn orange ( or in your case toward red which would make it look pink ).

That's kinda basic. Further study reveals that some fluorescent bulbs and sodium vapor lamps introduce green or magenta color into the light. The color 'balance' of shooting stuff with different light sources is a very complicated but fun subject ( if you are a crazy person).

Most sane people just want to shoot stuff and make it look nice without having to become a scientist etc.

sheesh, hit some key by mistake, and got posted... to continue...

Even Albert used to edit on a desktop computer with a typical sRGB computer monitor, and got different color on his monitor than the colors he got AFTER EXPORTING to youtube.

That's why he used to tear his hair out and always looked disheveled with hair standing straight up !

Why did this happen ?

The monitor you are editing on is NOT calibrated correctly for color. What you see when you edit is a false color representation.

There is some new feature with Ppro that allows you to use your monitor's ICC ( color ) profile … with the aim to try and make your monitor show you the correct colors you will get when you edit and export.

Please look into that solution first !

"Variants of this question have been covered to death on this and every other color grading forum. The answer is always the same.  The only way to get a [proper] image you can trust is to run SDI [or HDMI] out to an accurately calibrated reference monitor.  Grading by viewing the image in the GUI just doesn't work."  - Jamie LeJeune

Here's a video how to use ColorSync on a Mac to properly set your apps to display color from different spaces in their creation,  to correct remapping on your screen in its color space.

The first few minutes cover it.

Past that, understand that outside your setup, no other screen will ever show exactly what you saw. Not even professional colorists have any controls once a file goes out Into The Wild.
