Match color between shots

Place the playhead on the current clip to begin matching the shot.

Switch to Comparison View by selecting the Comparison View  button in the Program Monitor or in the Lumetri Color panel. This view allows you to select and display a reference frame and compare colors across shots.

Choose a reference frame by selecting the reference position via a slider bar, timecode, or by jumping between edit points with arrows.

Select the target location by simply positioning the playhead over the desired clip.

Once you have both the reference and target locations set, you can adjust the comparison view to the desired display.

Choose either a side-by-side or a vertical/horizontal split display. In split mode, you can drag the location of the split to view a specific area of the screen.

Choose a target clip by positioning the timeline playhead over a clip you want to match to the reference frame. Make sure the clip is selected.

You can check the Face Detection option if you have faces in the shots and leave this option enabled.

Face Detection is on by default, and if Auto Color detects faces in either the reference or current frame it gives higher weight to the colors in the facial region. 

This feature yields higher quality matches of skin tone especially when there are distracting colors in the background, but you can disable it for situations where you want or need the whole frame to be evaluated equally. 

If you use face detection, there is a slight increase in the amount of time it takes to calculate the match.  If you are working with footage that does not contain any faces, disable face detection to speed up the color matching.

Select Apply Match.

Premiere automatically applies Lumetri settings using the Color Wheels and Saturation control to match the colors in the current frame to the colors in the reference frame.

The Color Wheels (and Saturation slider if necessary) update to reflect the adjustment that the automatic color matching algorithm has applied.

If you are not satisfied with the results, you can use another shot as a reference and match the colors again. Premiere overrides the previous changes and matches the color with the new reference shot.
