Question

How to make auto color consistent over multiple shots? deselect temperature and tint?

As its not possible to copy the color corrections in premiere with a simple shortcut, I thought I could give auto color a try to speed up grading in very fast workflows (daily broadcast). To test it out I just added the LUT on the creative-page so it does not blow out my highlights and then added the auto color to ALL of my shots. It lowers the blacks to 0 and extends the highlights so I could work with it just to add enough contrast BUT it also changes temperature and tint - and it does very inconsistently. When I have a talking head interview it adds a completely different temperature and tint on the first shot than on the second one - which is essentially just a crop-in from the same shot. So suddenly the face turns orage or green. Is there a way to tell it that those shots belong together like in other applications as colourlab.ai - or can I somehow make autocolor just affect brightness and leave colour untouched?

    Once again about premiere autocolor. Is it somehow possible to program a script that activates auto color with a keyboard shortcut and then immediately resets temperature and tint. So I just get auto-exposure to get started?

    For scripting, @Bruce Bullis is the staffer with knowledge.

    There are several ways to copy/paste effects like Lumetri onto a TON of clips simultaneously.

     

    Including of course, getting one corrected, copy (and cut) the effect on the clip, select all the appropriate clips in a bin. Ctrl/V. Or of course, drag/drop from the Effects panel to selected clips in a bin.

     

    On a sequence, copy one clip, select others, right-click "paste attributes", and de-select all but say that Lumetri.

     

    Or go to the Effects panel, "copy" an effect, select a bunch of other clips, paste.

      Thanks a lot Neil - and a happy new year! I already tried shortcuts to speed things up. 

      Select Previous Clip

       Cmd Up

      Copy

      Cmd C

      Select Next Clip

      Cmd Down

      Paste Attributes

      Optn Cmd V

       

      But its far from ideal. When you have to change the colour of a sequence of six clips for example you now have to remove lumetri from all clips again as copying doesnt update but applies a second lumetri effect. So you have to go into every clip, remove the effect manually and start again. Or you have to click remove attributes and select all checkboxes but lumetri.. and then again paste attributes- deselect all but lumetri... its really not a quick workaround for colour correction. Plus you have to add the LUT in the creative tab every time..

      I am afraid thats not a very useful workflow.

       

      So I was hoping for the new auto color correct feature thats adverties as the new ai functionality. But it doesnt seem to be very intelligent. Is there any way to just auto correct exposure like in AVID? Or can I remove just lumetri color attributes and keep lumetri exposure parameters?
