Matching colors between two clips
You can perform a color match to match colors between two clips (such as skin
tone, sky, etc.). The color match lets you select colors from a reference clip to
match to your target clip. You can affect the colors globally (
Master ), or just the
Shadows , Midtones , or Highlights .
You can select the colors for your reference color and match color by either
clicking the Color Picker button or the eyedropper.
The eyedropper can be used in two ways:
$
Click the eyedropper button and click on the desired color in your clip.
$
Click the eyedropper button and click and drag anywhere on your clip to
create a rectangular area containing the color you want to select. The
selected color will be an average of the pixel information contained within
the rectangle.
° To perform a color match:
1 Prepare your workspace for color correction by choosing Window >
Workspace > Color Correction .
2 Open your target clip (clip that contains the colors you want to correct) in the
Source Monitor.
¦ Note For best results when using a target clip that has multiple effects
applied to it, create a nested sequence and open it in your Source Monitor
before performing the color match. For more information about creating
nested sequences, see your Adobe Premiere Pro documentation.
3 Apply the Matrox Color Correction effect to your target clip on the
timeline.
4 Use the controls under the Reference Monitor to move to a frame in your
reference clip that contains the colors you want to match.
5 Use the controls under the Source Monitor to go to the frame in your target
clip that contains the colors you want to match to your reference clip.
