How to Color Correct in Adobe Premiere Pro

Today I am going to teach you how to color correct. The whole purpose of color correcting is to bring our pictures or our videos some life or in this case color.

There are a lot of color correcting effects however the one I prefer is The Fast Color Corrector.

Now , first open Adobe Premiere Pro and import your photo or video:




 Now go to the effects section:




Go to the video effects and go to Color Correction and then choose fast color corrector and then drag it to the effects panel if your life-less video or photo after dragging it to the timeline:





I will now instruct my opinions on what to adjust:


1. First add the color you want a little close to blue:






2.Then adjust the input levels according to what I am showing you  and don't adjust the output levels:




3. Then increase the saturation from 100 to 150 :



Then this is the difference:


Before:




After:




As you see the color has changed a lot and it gave some life to the picture.
