Auto Color

Auto Color uses Adobe Sensei ML technology to apply intelligent color corrections to video clips. Color corrections are basic adjustments, such as exposure, white balance, and contrast that enhance the look of your footage. Typically, color corrections are applied before doing creative color grading.

How to use Auto Color

Want to try how it works? Open a project in Premiere Pro (22.3 or later) and get started!

Make sure the Lumetri color panel is open (Window > Lumetri Color).

To use Auto Color, position the playhead somewhere in the clip you want to enhance. Click the Auto button in the Basic Corrections section at the top of the Lumetri panel.

Auto Color uses frame sampling to apply corrections across the whole clip, not just the current frame.

Adjustments are reflected in the re-organized Basic Correction sliders. You can easily fine-tune the results by further adjusting individual parameters. You can adjust the overall impact of these adjustments with the new Intensity slider at the top of the Basic Correction section.

Move the slider to see the color difference after applying Auto Color.
