How to apply my own Premiere Lumitry presets?

Hello,

(I'm still more of a beginner with Adobe Premiere 2019.)

Following this good tutorial:
https://helpx.adobe.com/de/premiere-pro/how-to/lumetri-color-overview.html

https://helpx.adobe.com/de/premiere-pro/how-to/lumetri-color-overview.html

I've successfully adjusted the color corrections for my current video setting.

Since I've got plenty of clips to edit that need the identical color corrections,

I've saved my corrections as proposed in that tutorial (at about 4:17 - Lumetry Color menue "Save Preset...")    

Question 1: How can I apply this preset to all further clips in my project?

Question 2: Or should I follow another, simpler workflow?
[Note: With standard "effects" I usually edit one clip, and then I copy the effects of that clip (in the "Effect Controls") and paste them to all the other clips in my project. But in this case I cannot find a spot where I could copy my corections here...]

Help is greatly appreciated,

thanks,

GH

1) Simply select the clip with Lumetri corrections in the sequence, right-click Copy. Then select all other clips needing the same correction and right-click Paste Attributes, selecting only the Lumetri effect.

That is simplest.

You can save Lumetri instances as a Preset in you Presets bins which is good for larger projects or using the same preset as a starting point across projects.

You've already got two answers from people who know what they're talking about, but I did want to mention it's possible to copy your Lumetri Color settings from the Effects Controls Panel as well. Just click the part that says "Lumetri Color" then Crtl+C, and Crtl+V on the clip you want to copy too. However, if you are applying the same correction across all clips, Ann's suggestion of using an adjustment layer is probably the way to go.

I would place an Adjustment Layer over the clips and drop the preset on the AL

Thank you for this, but I have a different problem. My film is all greenscreen with scenes underneath. So the adjustment layer will affect the scene screen, which I do not want to happen. Anyway around this?

I recommend using Render and Replace on the keyed-out clips. To do that, select the clip, right-click, and select Render and Replace. You'll need to choose a codec that supports alpha and check the "Include Video Effects" option. You might not see these options if you're on an older version of Premiere Pro.

If my suggestion doesn't help, please create a new post in the Premiere Pro community.

    Thank you, this has helped a lot.

    It would be even better if I could modify the preset, resave it with the same name, and it would then affect all the clips with that preset. I tried, it does not. So if I want to undo and replace with a new preset, I have to have saved the previous version without the preset, restore that and then do all the clips again
