About color grading

Premiere Pro provides professional-quality color grading and color correction tools that let you grade your footage directly on your editing timeline.

Understand how you can easily correct color in Premiere Pro.

These color tools are available within the Lumetri Color workspace. Using these tools, you can adjust color, contrast, and light in your sequences in new and innovative ways. With editing and color grading working hand in hand, you can freely move between editing and grading tasks without exporting or launching a separate grading application.

The Lumetri Color workspace is designed for experienced colorists and editors who are new to color grading. You can apply simple color corrections or complex Lumetri Looks using intuitive sliders and controls. Or you can easily adjust cuts or fine-tune grades using advanced color correction tools like curves and color wheels.
