Question

adjustment layer in Premiere?

Hi all,

I remember seeing a video where a Transparent/ black video/etc..was added to the above layer of all clips.

It would act as an adjustment layer.

I know I could Nest them, but that would mean I would loose the ability to move clips around unless I double click them.

I remember there was a way to add an adjustment layer in premiere.

Anyone know?

Thanks,

lou

    I wanted to let you know that I HAVE applied color correction, via the fast color corrector, Red Giant Mojo, Red Giant Looks and Colorista to an adjustment layer, and they ALL worked beautifully for me!  In fact, it was the fastest "look" session, I've ever had... I started with Fast... then moved through the rest to find the "best" look for the project... settled on Magic Bullet Looks plugin... fantastic stuff!

    Why not just:

    1. make your adjustments to your clip

    2. save those adjustments you just made as an effect and name it whatever you want.. like save it as 'My Curves - Project Name'

    Then you can apply it to your whole sequence in one click or selected clips or even keep and use in another project down the road.

    see here for saving an effect (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS5B38CF0A-C465-437d-9D19-41C35ECD6200.html)

    *keep in mind any keyframes you have, like if you are ramping the effect up/down, those keyframes get saved in the new custom effect that you plan to save!!! But in your case, it doesn't look like you are keyframing any of the effects..

    Bill - it depends on which mode you use to import the PSD. For example, if you select merge all layers during import then the adjustment layers in the document will render with the PSD, but if imported as individual layers they will not.

    That was what I thought, and greatly appreciate the clarification.

    Thanks,

    Lou,

    Some Effects will work on Transparent Video, on a higher Video Track. The Transparent Video is created from the New Icon>Transparent Video, just like Black Video. The effectiveness of its use will depend on the Effect that you desire to use.

    Good luck, and let us know which Effect you wish to apply.

    Hi,

    You know, I tried that (transparent video), and of course the first effect I needed didn't work.

    I wanted to raise the blacks a little, so i tried RGB curve.

    Thanks,

    That is pretty obvious. How would you like to raise blacks on a transparent video? Transparent video is great for effects like timecode, but not for correcting color or whatever you want to do, since it contains no color (hence the word transparent) to adjust.
