Lens Correction Profiles in Premiere?

You definitely can do this. It's a bit of work, but it's doable.

I also have the Rokinon 14mm and have found Camera Raw's lens profile correction to be very effective. The way to apply this to video is to render out your footage as an image sequence and then process each frame in Camera Raw using a script. You'd then import the processed image sequence into Premiere and edit from that.

Because it's a time-consuming process, and because you'd be baking in any effects you may have applied to your footage, I'd recommending doing this as a final step in your edit workflow.

I think it would be better to use a lens that doesn't need post correction.

At what lenses are we looking?

Hi johansebamuel,

Lens correction presets in Premiere Pro is currently limited to only few of the wide angle action cams. This is usually because of the fact that these ultra-wide angle lenses have extreme distortions which are much more perceivable than the non-wide angle distortions.

Unlike Photoshop/Lightroom where you have a Lens correction profiles available for almost all the know lenses that you can apply to the images. Here in Premiere Pro, you won't have all those lens correction profiles.

Though if you want you may use the Lens Distortion effect in Premiere Pro to correct or compensate for some minor barrel distortions and pincushion distortions and then you may save a preset for your individual lenses that may work similar to a lens profile.

Please note that the camera raw lens correction profiles are much more accurate and the lens distortion effect might not be able to get to the same level of distortion correction but should be able to correct the minor ones.

If you wish to perform advanced lens corrections for the videos then you may want to use the Optics Compensation effect in After effects which can provide a greater degree of control to the distortion parameters

Hope you find it useful.
