2. In the Lumetri Color panel, open the Color Wheels & Match section, and click the
Comparison View button; or click the Comparison View button in the Program Monitor.
3. Try changing the reference frame in one of these ways:
Drag the mini playhead under the reference frame to a new position.
Click the reference position timecode and enter a new time, or drag on the timecode to
choose another time.
Click the Go To Previous Edit or Go To Next Edit button on either side of the
reference position timecode to jump between clips.
4. Try the split view options, and drag the divider between the two sides of the split.
Stay in Comparison View, ready for the next exercise.
Matching color
One of the most powerful and time-saving features of the Lumetri Color panel is the option to
automatically match colors between two clips.
To use this feature, you’ll switch to Comparison View in the Program Monitor, choose a
reference frame and a current frame, and click the Apply Match button in the Color Wheels &
Match section of the Lumetri Color panel.
The result will not always be perfect, and you may need to experiment with different reference
and current frame selections to get a closer match, but it’s often close enough for you to make
final adjustments that are guided by the automated adjustment. If Premiere Pro gets you 80% of
the way there, it’s a huge time-saver.
Let’s try it with our current sequence.
1. Continuing from the previous exercise: Set the reference frame to 00:01:00:00.
2. Set Timeline panel playhead to the start of the last clip in the sequence. You can use the Up
and Down arrow keys to quickly jump between the clips in the sequence.
