I am a still photographer that is getting into video. I cannot understand why it is so incredibly tedious to retouch video in premiere pro. I am quite surprised that there is not a panel with all the sliders laid out, as their is in lightroom in the develop module. Further, why does Adobe not bring all of the sliders from ligthroom into premiere pro?! I am now often shooting video and stills in the same moments, and am finding it very hard to match video footage to stills when the stills were editing with lightroom sliders such as dehaze that do not appear to exist in premiere pro! Thanks in advance for your help.
And thought I'd better add something here. I came out of stills, if you note my bio. Long time pro studio photographer, first used Photoshop with a scanner in the late 90's, used Lightroom from public beta 0.8. Been there done that, been nearly a decade in video post now.

When it comes to doing a beauty pass for video, it's been done for so long and so well in After Effects that I am not sure how much of a demand there has been for native tools in Premiere Pro. Of course, there is the need and there are some great third-party tools that work in both Premiere Pro and After Effects like Digital Anarchy Beauty Box (https://digitalanarchy.com/beautyVID/main.html) and BorisFX Beauty Studio (https://borisfx.com/products/continuum-filters/beauty-studio-filter-in-continuum/?collection=continu...). A trial version of each one is available. I suggest giving each a try.
