Premiere Pro color management can transform the color of supported log-encoded and raw camera formats directly to SDR or HDR without needing LUTs, and works with most camera formats. If you’re working with certain camera formats, proxies, or log content you purchased online that’s missing the appropriate color space metadata tag for auto-detection, it’s easy to tag the appropriate color space for batches of clips right from your bins. 

To enable automatic color space detection of imported media, select Window > Lumetri Color. Open the Settings tab. In the Project settings, select Color Manage Auto Detected and Raw Media.

The Lumetri Color panel with the Color Manage Auto Detected Log and Raw Media checkbox selected.
Select Color Manage Auto Detected Log and Raw Media to enable automatic color space detection.

Scan the following table to learn about the supported camera formats, with the 'Pr Auto Detect' column indicating whether automatic color space conversion from log to SDR and HDR is supported (marked as 'Yes'). We will be adding support for more camera formats regularly. This table is not an exhaustive list of cameras.

Note:

While the Fujifilm F-Log, F-Log2, Nikon N-Log, and Leica L-Log formats are natively supported in Premiere Pro 25.2, you may need to manually assign the color space for clips recorded with these cameras.

Manually assign color spaces to clips that aren't automatically detected

Premiere Pro assigns Rec.709 as the default color space in cases where auto-detection is not possible, either because of missing metadata or because the format is not yet supported. These clips will appear low contrast or “flat” because that’s their log-encoded appearance.

If you discover the color management system does not automatically detect some media, this is easy to fix in the Project Browser. Simply select all undetected clips that should be sharing the same source color space (they'll appear low contrast) and select Clip > Modify > Color to override the media color space with the correct color space from the drop-down menu list. For more information, see Configure clips for color management using Clip Modify.
