(off screen) Premiere Gal, what is in your hand?

This is my expert kit Palette Gear.

(off screen) What is that for?

Well, I use it to control colors in

Premiere Pro for when video edit.

But it's also for Photoshop, right?

Yeah! You can use it with any software.

Great.

Can you unbox it for us?

Yeah that's exactly what I'm going to

do to show you how to set it up and use

it with Premiere Pro.

Coming up in this #WhatWednesday video!

(Let's Rock Music, Link below)

So let's open up the Expert Kit.

Al right.

So as you see here there are three

knobs, two buttons, two sliders, and a

brain which connects and controls all

of these and I'll show you how to set

that up in a second.

But first you need to connect the brain

by a USB to the computer and the

really cool thing to also note is that

on the bottom of each of these buttons

and sliders is a rubber mat.

So that way it doesn't slide on your

desktop and on the side of all of these

are these golden prongs here and the

brain doesn't have a male input.

But if you notice on all of the other

ones are these prongs here, the male

input which connects it to the female

input OK.

And that's how you connect them.

So let's first connect the brain via

the usb cord that it comes with.

So just connect this here like so.

And then we will put the other end in

the computer and before we do that

let's just go ahead and set all of

these on the desk to put them together.

All right so let's connect the brain to

the computer first.

Alright so see how they just

sort of all connected together.

That's because they have magnet.

But you have to be careful because they

need to be connected in a particular

way.

As I showed you just briefly before

each of them has a male input except

for the brain.

So they have these male prongs and to

connect it to each other you need to

put the male prongs into the female

prongs like so and can connect to in

any way that you like any direction

like I could take this and put it here

if I wanted to I could put it here anyway but I'm putting it in the

fashion that I like.

So I'm putting it like this.

I'll put the buttons up here and they

connect together and once they're

connected they light up and that means

that they're active and same with here

I'll find the prongs connected here.

And you can put them anywhere that you

want you can put it here.

But I like it here. So I like to place

my palette gear to the left of my

logic keyboard and I'm right handed so

I like to actually have my mouse in my

right hand because I still need a click.

Occasionally when I use the palette and

then I can use the palette with my left

hand like so.

Alright.

So let's go ahead and jump in and show

you how to install the app.

Aright.

So before I show you how to use Palette

in Premier Pro go to Palettegear.com

and be sure to download the app for

your computer.

They have Palette for Mac or Palette for

Windows.

So I've already installed it and what I

did was actually open up Premiere

Pro first and you can see I have this

Ocean stock video here which will show

you how to color correct and grade

using Palette.

So now go and open up the palette app

so you can see that this configuration

I have is exactly modeling what I have physically here on my desk and if I

change any of these here you can see that it moves on the screen too which

is pretty cool so I'll put that back.

I like it here.

And so I started with just a loaded

preset that they had if you click on

this add button here.

There's different profiles for a bunch

of different apps from Adobe apps even

Final Cut Pro X, regular apps like Google

Chrome, Spotify, iTunes a whole bunch

right.

So I started by clicking on Premiere

Pro and it brought up this one here and

if you double click on any of these you

can assign it a new value.

So if I wanted to change temperature

here to exposure, I just double click

and then I search for exposure and then I just click on exposure and it updates

to exposure right.

So you can do that to any one of these.

So now that it's active and make sure

it's as connected here.

If it says disconnected it will not

work with Premiere Pro to get it

connected.

Just make sure that the usb is plugged

in.

So now let's go back in Premiere Pro and

you have to remember your values of

course because it's not written here on

your physical Palette so I just need to

remember that the top one is exposure

below that is vibrance , then contrast

and then Lumetri panel here.

opens up the Lumetri panel.

This resets it if I ever need to know

say scratch this.

I don't like what I'm doing I'll just

reset it and then this controls the

blacks and the whites down here OK.

So that's going to premiere pro and

show it in action.

So right now, the Lumetri color panel is selected.

If I was not in the the color panel

let's say it was over here in the scope's if I hit this button it will

take me to the Lumetri color panel which is pretty cool.

And right now I want to reset it so I'm

just going to click this button and it

will reset all of the values so I don't

have to go in physically with my mouse

and control all of these right so it's

less clicking.

So let's say we want to play with the

exposure here.

I would just turn the exposure knob and

automatically.

You can see that the exposures is raised,

right.

And if I wanted to adjust the contrast

which is this now I've down here I

could adjust the contrast like so and

you can also control the limit.

So right now I have mine set at 25 I

can't go above 25 contrast and that's

something that you can change in the

Palette app so if I was going to double

click on contrast and go under advanced.

You see I set the range to be minus 25

or 25 and you can set that to 100, 50,

any number in between negative 100 and

100.

Okay.

I just wanted to make sure that you

understand that you can adjust the

sensitivity with how quickly things

move. This is sensitivity how quickly the

knob moves in the range a limit to how

far you can go and how less you can go

in a particular effect.

So let's go back.

So I'm liking the contrast here at 25.

Let's adjust and I like to use the Lumetri scopes up here.

So right now it's (the brightness) is almost at 100 which

is good but we need to bring it down

closer to zero to have more contrast so

let's actually adjust the blacks here

so bring the blocks down.

See how the blocks are moving down in

in Lumetri

And now it just looks a lot richer.

And I love that I'm controlling it

physically because it gives me more

precision.

Ok.

And I also have a vibrancy here.

If I twist the vibrancy knob you can

see that the creative tab automatically

opened up and I can just increase the

vibrancy a bit to make it a little bit

more bright and vibrancy is so much

better than saturation because it only

makes the part of the image that is not

as saturated more saturated in

saturation makes everything more

saturated.

So right now I'm liking this image.

If we wanted to see what it looked like

before and after we could of course use

the mouse to go to the effects and just

click this on and off.

So you can see I just made it far more

intense.

I may want to tone down the brightness

just a little bit so I'll just go back

up here and turn down the brightness a

little bit.

And that's looking pretty good.

So that's really all there is to it.

And you can also go back to the Palette

app and if you wanted to share this

profile you could actually save the

profile to your desktop.

So I named one gal's color grade I'll

just copy this over and hit save and

I'll actually link to this palette

profile and share it with you guys and

you can also share it to Palette and it

will appear at palettegear.com/profiles

There is also if you double click on

this you can change the name that you

see here so if I wanted to call it Gal's grade,

I could do that and just had done.

You can also change the colors here so

if you wanted it to be let's say Green.

You can double click and change it to

be this greenish color and you can do

that for every single one you can assign a color and they will change

color on the screen.

So if I wanted this to be purple I

would say done.

I wanted the vibrancy to be orange, hit done.

If I wanted the contrast to be blue.

It would also change color here and if

I wanted to change to this red let's say

to a bright green it would change that.

Now let's change this to a yellow.

And now we have all sorts of colors and

this is great for people that have more

of color cognition people that are

associated with colors with learning.

You can say OK exposures purple, orange is

vibrance, contrast is blue and so on

and so now you have these different

color values which is pretty cool.

I also wanted to show you that there's

also different profiles preloaded.

So if we wanted to add a new one here

you could look at these different

profiles here and you can select

Premiere Pro here down below.

You can select on the quickstart

profile so they actually have an edit one.

So if you hit edit it automatically assigns

these Edit controls.

So for example zoom in and out on the

timeline.

Jog through the timeline.

Go to an edit Point, play/stop, opacity

and scale.

So for example if we go back and

Premiere Pro now and we're all in it

you know if I wanted to scale this up I

could use the slider here just to scale right.

And here I could go and zoom in and out

of the timeline if I'm in the timeline

and you can zoom in and out like so and

you can click play and stop and could

jog which means just scrubbing through

the timeline and this one will go to

the next point really quickly which is

super useful.
