There will be times when you are called upon to color correct a particular section of a video, also known as secondary color correction.

In this Premiere Pro video tutorial, Casey Faris shares an advanced color grading workflow using multiple instances of the Lumetri Color effect. It's important to understand the stacking of color adjustments in the Lumetri Color panel, and how each section feeds down into the next. For example, changes to the Basic color parameters could throw off a color key in the HSL Secondary. In some cases, as Casey demonstrates in this video, it's better to use separate Lumetri Color effects for each color adjustment.

In this tutorial, I'll show you some tips for stacking corrections and working smarter while doing some advanced color grading in the Lumetri Color panel in Premiere CC 2015.3. —Casey Faris
