In Premiere Pro: Color Correction and Enhancement, Adobe Certified Instructor Jeff Sengstack streamlines the color-correction workflow and provides practical methods for improving the color and tonality of footage in post-production. The course details basic color-correction concepts, addresses colorcasts and exposure errors, and shows how to match color among multiple clips. The course also covers secondary correction techniques, such as limiting tonality and color modifications to specific portions of a clip with track mattes, and shows how to create stylized looks by tinting footage, incorporating gradients and vignettes, and using the Magic Bullet Looks plug-in. Exercise files accompany the course. Topics include:
