In this video I show how to compensate for changing light in video. This can commonly occur if you use manual exposure in video and there is a cloudy day light difference if you shoot outdoors. You may ask: should you use auto mode for video? For best results I recommend to stick to manual and I explain how to get equal exposure for video in post production in Adobe Premiere Pro with lumetri effect and cleverly placed keyframes on exposure and color temperature.

This is a very underrated video tutorial. You literally just saved me so much time believe it or not. Thank you so much.
Thank you, I appreciate your comment! And I’m glad you found it helpful 😊
This guy was sent from heaven... after 7 hours of headache he gave me hope... i am now going to use this method to edit a 2 hour long video! thank you kamil!!!
You’re welcome!
Your clarity of expression and pacing is far superior to a lot of tutorials here. Well done. Some tutorialists rush through it so quickly one can't follow their cursor or their line of thought, and we have to keep pausing and saying, "Wait, what? Where? What did you say? Where is that?" and so on. Thanks for understanding receiver-oriented communication. I have subscribed.
Thank you, that means a lot!
We were recording an interview and didn't see overhead changing LED colored lights on the camcorder screen and figured the white lights we were using would drown them out. We sure saw the rapidly changing color temp on a 27" iMac screen. This video helped tons. It was so bad brute forcing it with keyframes fixed it so using the scopes didn't help this time. Thanks so much.

Oh my goodness you are the best! So many big UA-camrs out there and I cant find any who cover this and not in exact detail. You have saved my edit! I just followed this tutorial and goodness you have saved my edit. Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome, and guess what, I figured out how to do all that completely automatically with way better end effect! Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/_ArDabm5PiY/v-deo.html
Well 2 years later, you've saved my life XD ! Thank you a lot man, easy to do and understand. Great job
This was super helpful. All I really have to shoot right now is the sun through my window so the frustration of watching the not only the brightness but also the color change during the same shot in post is super frustrating. Thanks for the help!
Yeah exactly! Glad you found it helpful. Take a look at some other Premiere Pro tutorials on my channel, I have plenty!
not only useful but concise as well. thank you
Glad you think so! I recently figured out how to do all that completely automatically and way more accurately - check it out: ua-cam.com/video/_ArDabm5PiY/v-deo.html
This was really helpful. Thank you! Automatic exposure mode on my camera was (apparantly) turned on and ruined my footage. Thanks to you I was able to save my recordings.
Awesome, I’m glad I could help!
This saved the day. Thank you. I'm just starting with Premiere. I had already cut things into so many clips. I applied your method to an effects layer over all the clips. Again, thank you.

Wow. This was so helpful in undoing the auto-exposure disaster my camera made. Thank you so much!
How would you like if you could do that automatically? Without having to set keyframes manually and eyeball the scopes to get „close enough”?
I do this much simpler... I cut the clip just before the exposure shift happens. Then I adjust the clip that changes in exposure to match the correct exposed clip. And then I add a quite long fade transition and it smoothly adjusts so it wont get noticed.

A plugin that does this automatically would be most welcome.
I made one already! Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/_ArDabm5PiY/v-deo.html
Wow, what an amazing and informative tutorial. You definetly deserve millions of subscribers and views!
Thanks Sophia! I’d definitely like that haha, I’m working on it 😊 I’m glad you liked the video!
@@kamilkp Your channel will blow up in no time! Keep up the good work. :)
That was much of a help dude! I have been looking for this for a very long time. You have high quality content in your channel. So glad to find you. Subscribed and rated. I hope you will have much more followers soon. Bu harika içerik için çok teşekkür ederim.
Thank you!
This video really adds valuable information for beginners. Helped me a lot! Thanks for the awesome content :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is EXACTLY what I was having trouble with.
Thank you SO SO SO SOOOO MUCH! My video looks amazing!
This was pretty sweet, very helpful with testing feature.
Glad you liked it Adam!
Really love the tutorial! The only issue I have is that when i mask a section of the background, I go to check the skin tones and they're still very off between the different lights. I don't know if this is because the video I shot was inside a building and the light was coming in from all the windows behind, so maybe somehting to do with the reflections but idk. I ended up following the tutorial without the masking bit and it kind of worked, but the result is defo not perfect.
Nice video. I wished adobe would change the colour of the handle. Its frustrating, when the anchor are close together.
Game changer. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

This was of great help. Thank you!
You’re welcome, thank you for the comment 😊
Very good tutorial, thanks a lot!
I'm learning how to use Premiere Pro and this helped me :)
Awesome! PRO TIP: if you know you’re gonna have to do this in post (e.g. you record at home with window natural light and it’s a partly cloudy day) put a graycard/colorchecker in the very corner of the frame. Then crop in in post to get rid of it but use it to get super precise reference for exposure and WB across the entire clip 😉
@@kamilkp wow! That's actually pretty clever. It can make the process so much easier
Thanks!
Thanks for this info man! You got a new subscriber! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Very helpful. Thank you 👍
Glad you liked it!
Kamil, you are my hero!

I personally like changing ambient light, or is that not a preference?
Depends to what extent. In this shot of mine I was getting waaay underexposed at times and that needed fixing
It depends on what you're doing I guess. In my case, I'm duplicating someone outdoors, and the change in ambient light is a dead give away that it's a masked version of my subject at two separate moments in time. Normally I wouldn't mind the change in ambient light, but it depends on the application.
Thank you very much for the information, there are no videos on this topic
You’re welcome! And yeah I know! That’s why I decided to make one 😉
@@kamilkp every time I screw up color correcting the videos, when to use adjustment layer either for color correction or for color grading, as in your video you did color correction to the clip. May be I'm wrong.
My exact need. Thank you very much! *Subscribed
This is so helpful man thanks! Do you know if you can do this on final cut pro?
Yeah probably you could do that in any editing software
Very helpful. Thank you, K.P.
Thank you... very informative video
this is a Great tutorial, thank you
So useful!! thanks so much
Awesome Thank you bud

Hi Kamil, Perfect tutorial. Would you please do another tutorial with Nested Clip of 2 different cameras, and how to use lumetri color to have the same color picture on both cameras? Thank you so much
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it! When it comes to color matching two cameras it’s pretty hard. I was doing that myself a couple of times and it’s quite tricky. I’ll see if I can come up with some practical tips, thanks for the suggestion 😊
@@kamilkp I just do not know how to do the comparision view when sequence is nested or When video clips are on top of each other on timeline. Apprecite for any suggestions :)
Honestly I never use comparison view. I’ll look into that 👍
HUUUGE LIKE for this tutorial!!!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks - wonderful stuff :)
I'm interested to know if I can do this on different software - I have 2 videos where the clouds seem to have been jumping in and out of the bright sun every second or so (but no sound of wind on the microphone!)
Yeah I think most video editing programs support keyframing exposure and white balance
@@kamilkp Thankyou! I will get to work :) Cheers
Thanks, this was helpful. I wonder if there's some way to do a sort of "one click" auto exposure for a clip. Sort of like when you click Auto on Lumetri Color but have Premiere do that for each frame of a clip.
I wrote a plugin for that: kamilpekala.com/collections/all-products/products/light-equalizer-for-premiere-pro
I don't think you understand the term very easy, lol, but thanks for the tips. Too bad Adobe could not do this with a double click. Do you know anything about Auto contrast, auto levels and auto color? Thanks, Liked and Subscribed
Thanks! Hmm I don’t know about such auto- features. You could do the same with those as I did here with exposure and WB!
Salutes. Great video broi
Thanks!
Best tutorials are made in cars I guess :D
Haha I guess 😄 - glad you liked it!
Lol I haven’t even noticed
Anyway to do this in Resolve?
Is there an equivalent for final cut
Great tutorial ! I have this problem and I was wandering if any automatic detection of the bad areas of the footage. I have 1 hour video and its a lot of this up and down... Please help if any automatic finder of bad areas or any plugin which does that. Thank you !
Not that I’m aware of unfortunately. I can maybe write an extension that does this but it will take a while to develop
@@kamilkp The extension will be great ! Please do it ASAP )) Thank you!
Each keyframe I make isn't allowing me to edit it individually, it's just carrying over the settings from the last keyframe. How do I fix this?
Thank you but is there an other way to get to the screen after ~tilde key? Because on Azerty it is not working...
Hmm, you’d have to modify your hotkeys in Premiere Pro’s preferences and assign it to a different key.
How can we do this on Davinci resolve?
Hi Kamil,
I need help.
I just bought Light Equalizer plugin for Premiere Pro and using the plugin I have this error: TypeError: undefined is not an object. I appreciate your help.
Thanks!
3:38 I just get a grey box, not similar to yours. What do I do wrong?
didn't really worked for outdoor to indoor transition
Every time I try to utilize anything from the Lumetri Scopes menu, it freezes Premiere Pro and corrupts the sequence I was working on. Do you have any advice on how I should proceed?
Try doing that on a fresh project with just one simple video clip in a sequence (e.g. a few seconds recorded with a phone). I was once working on a project and one of the footage files was corrupted in a way that it worked fine until some specific time in the clip, then Premiere was just going nuts, crashing, freezing etc.
I have 2h long clips, maybe there already is some automated effect what can do it?
I have wrote a plugin for it
That does this automatically
nice

I don't have these lumetri options in window
Which ones? The keyframes?
@@kamilkp the luma etc ones
I have 2014 CC
I have never used that version of Premiere
Don't work for me for changing exposure on moving shoot. Actually is worst. I try with and without mask for 1,2,3 secends laps but no success. Also is vary slow. Is take the night to calculate a 26min of mooving train shoot on last 16 MBP fully upgraded. I think this work only for 1 scene shoots with static background. Refund will be nice. Thanks for manual tips anyway i will use this method
Reach out via email so we can resolve it
It's a shame you need to do this manually. Would be neat for Premiere to be able to track something, and make those changes automatically. I would have used the face as the reference, instead of the top left background corner, since you (the talking head) is the subject of interest, not the background.
Actually, maybe I could create a Premiere Pro extension for that, good suggestion! I have already written two extensions for Premiere so I have some experience. But in order to use the face it would indeed need to track movement. I was using the corner here because it’s static in the same place in the frame
Definitely time consuming, when in every few frames the colour and exposure changes.
