Adjust color temperature how?

[avpromedia]

When shooting a play with tungsten lighting I set the camcorder to custom white balance but forgot to adjust the color temperature and the video now has a reddish cast.

If it was a still photo, I could open it in adobe raw/lightroom and adjust the color temperature slider until the color cast disappear.

Is there an equivalent function in premiere pro cs4?

There is a color balance video effect but it is overkill. I don't need to adjust the color on highlights, midtones, or shadow. All I need is change the color temperature. Any ideas?

I'm using premiere pro cs4. I also have photoshop cs4.

The Fast Color Corrector can set the white balance straight.

Ok, I used it to adjust the color. But it's still not quite the same as a color temperature slider. Is it in theory possible to implement this feature? If not, then I won't waste time looking for it.

The autocolor also works but over corrects the problem. I could mix in a percentage of the original. However I also worry this feature applies different correction at different times; whereas I want a constant correction throughout the video, so I can verify it looks ok without having to view the entire video.

You are correct. It is the same for about every "Auto Effect." They only work well, where nothing has changed, i.e. the lighting, the exposure, etc., so about the only way to really use this is in a very controlled studio, or properly lit location shot. That is not what one usually is working with.

If Fast Color is not working for you, explore Three-Way Color Corrector - more control.

There are also 3rd party plug-ins, like Colorista, that many favor over the CC Effects in PrPro: http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/products/all/magic-bullet-colorista-II/

Hi Anne and Wine man 🙂 Congratulation and thank you for your continuous support here. (makes me feel ... with my spasmodic CS4 attempts.  I just shot my screen with Words text and playing with auto or manual WB did not stop the puple clips I got.

I juts watched a good video with PP CC 2017 and how easy it is. I tried colour correction with little improvement as it seemed to be less purple but affected the text clarity... I know the best answer would be to move on with time but I have no real justification to go there now...

Did you realize this is a seven year old thread?

I had the same problem, and Adjustments > Photo filter did the trick.

There are a bunch of warming and cooling filters there.

That is for Photoshop, not Premiere Pro CS4.

By the way, did you realize that this is a six year old thread?

If anyone is still wondering as I was, there is now a newer feature in premiere called Lumetri Color, you an find the temperature slider by switching to the colour workspace and opening the Basic Correction tab in the right panel. Alternatively you can make the Lumetri Color window visible by selecting Window->Lumetri Color.
