When to keyframe an effect
- Sometimes as you color correct, there'll be changes over time. Maybe it's because the camera pans or maybe the lighting conditions are changing. Fortunately, like most effects in Premier Pro, things can be keyframed. Let's have a look at a shot to see the need. In this particular scene, we start off with a bird in flight and the shot is mostly framed up over a bright sky. It pans up and it gets significantly brighter and then as the bird goes down, it goes into much darker background. Well in this case, the shot needs different changes. If we look at the scopes here, let's set this back to the regular waveform monitor and take a look at the luma waveform. You'll notice that the shot gets brighter and it really lacks contrast initially and shadows. Then it gets even brighter, practically flattening out to completely blown out. And then it gets a lot darker. Well, these are the types of things that require keyframes and fortunately, this is an easy fix.
