A lot of the time, I'll extract out a frame and try color correcting levels, brightness, contrast in Photoshop. Once I like what I've done, I note those levels and then apply the same filters in Premiere.
I do it in Photoshop because a lot of stuff happens faster and I can experiment more. If I had a short enough thing, I would seriously consider exporting as frames, applying the effects (I would obviously write a macro for this!) to the individual frames, and then re-importing. I often use this trick when I want to do a zoom because Photoshop does better pixel interpolation than Premiere. (I export the frames, resize each one, do the color corrections and adjustments, and then reexport the larger frames [for example, 720x480 resized to 1440x960]. Then I open a new Premiere project that is 1440x960, bring in the new frames, apply my 720x480 crop, and export that AVI). It sounds complicated, but once you've done a couple, it's actually easier than it sounds. Someone once told me you can make a filter "profile" of some sort in Photoshop, and simply import that "profile" into Premiere, but I haven't found that function. Haven't looked too hard, though, to be fair. Cheers, Edward ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
