That's what we use, as well. It works well, for the most part. Highly recommend it for Premiere users!

I now work with the MBR Colour Correcror plugin. ( https://mattroberts.org/MBR_Color_Corrector/ ) This is the best system for colour charts that I have seen so far. It can even do the checker in the frame itself. I don't think even DaVinchi can do that. So my recommendation to all colleagues here!

@jackthegiantkillerThey're probably too busy fOcUsiNG oN pErFoRMaNCe aNd sTAbiLiTy i.e. creating AI features that will  put their users out of work and rolling in giant piles of subscriber money, Scrooge McDuck-style.

I've been working in both Premiere ecosystem and Resolve daily for over a decade. I'm tied into a colorist's network primarily and teach (and of course, learn from) pro colorists. So a lot of time both personally in Resolve, and ... I've far more 'friends' working in Resolve than Premeire. Where color is their reason for working in Resolve.

 

I don't know any actual colorist that finds Resolve's color picker thing for charts actually ... usable. For my own use, it's been pretty inconsistent, so I share their scepticism of it.

 

And as I do also 'shoot' a fair amount, I would love it if it did work for me. And I've got not only the Xrite passport, but the DSC Labs color charts also. But in both Resolve and Premiere, I do the manipulation to charts manually, once per camera, and save that as a preset to apply to any further work from that camera.

 

So I start by using the grey patches to set WB/shadows so all neutrals are neutral.

 

Then use Hue v Hue to move the chips into proper location around the Vectorscope for hue.

 

Then use Hue v Sat to move the clips to the same sat, typically about halfway between center and the outer bounding box. Then save the results, as from testing, the response to color after the WB is correctly set is pretty constant. So this seems to be correcting the sensor/processor dato of the camera, not the scene.

 

I'm wondering if they aren't hitting the same thing as with the Resolve system ... inconsistency that they can't quite eliminate.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

I've noticed that several Adobe representatives made a lot of promises to folks on January 24, 2023 with very little to zero follow up. Perhaps Adobe could deign to send their spokespeople out to placate the angry masses more than once every two years? Perhaps Adobe could actually execute some of these top rated ideas instead of making false promises?

If only it were - I'm clutching onto my X-Rite in the hope that it's implemented before I retire.  Come on Adobe, I love your work but I've been asking for this for years.

Is the feature already silently added after over a year without any notification?

Please no additional app in order to do this within premiere. Ideally, it would be as simple as Davinci has done and a user could have the option to use it in Lumetri within Premiere. A simple box with handles to adjust to the color slate in the footage and match the swatches of various brands of commonly used slates. Can we get an ETA on this feature that should've been addressed long ago?

Been using Premiere since v1.5 with the horse on the cdrom cover and was ever so happy to toss my Avid Symphony back in 2001 to make the switch.
