To save color correction presets in Premiere Pro, you can use the Lumetri Color panel and the "Save Preset" option. This allows you to quickly apply the same color grading to multiple clips in your project.
Here's how:
-
Apply Color Correction: First, adjust the color settings in the Lumetri Color panel to achieve the desired look. This includes adjustments like white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, and saturation.
-
Save the Preset: Once you are satisfied with the color correction, navigate to the Lumetri Color panel's dropdown menu (usually indicated by three horizontal lines). Select "Save Preset."
-
Name the Preset: A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your preset. Choose a descriptive name that reflects the style or purpose of the color correction (e.g., "Warm Cinematic Look," "Desaturated Interview").
-
Apply the Preset: To apply the saved preset to another clip, select the clip, open the Lumetri Color panel, and find your saved preset in the Presets dropdown menu. Simply click on the preset name to apply it.
-
Drag and Drop: You can also drag and drop the saved preset directly onto the clip in your timeline.
You can also export your preset as a ".look" file, which allows you to share the preset with other Premiere Pro users or use it in other projects. To do this:
- Save Preset: After adjusting the colors to your liking, select "Save Preset" from the Lumetri Color panel dropdown menu.
- Export as Look or Cube: When you want to share the look, you can export it as a ".look" file (Premiere Pro’s native format) or a ".cube" file (compatible with other software).
By following these steps, you can efficiently save and reuse your custom color corrections in Premiere Pro.
