Exploring the color-oriented effects
As well as adjusting color using the Lumetri Color panel, there are a number of color-oriented
effects worth familiarizing yourself with. You add, modify, and remove color correction
effects in the same way that you manage the other effects in Premiere Pro. Just as with the
other effects, you can use keyframes to modify the settings over time.
As you build familiarity with Premiere Pro, you may find yourself uncertain about which effect
is best for a particular purpose; this is normal! There are often several ways of achieving the
same outcome in Premiere Pro, and sometimes the choice comes down to which interface you
prefer.
