You can access the RGB Parade in Premiere Pro<\/strong> by clicking on the small spanner icon in the monitor window or by clicking the panel menu at the top right hand side of the panel (the icon that looks like a series of lines with a small downwards facing arrow to the left of them). Then, select whichever scope you require from the displayed list (in this case, the RGB Parade<\/strong>).<\/p>\n The RGB Parade<\/strong><\/p>\n As you can see the RGB Parade<\/strong> shows the three color channels (Red, Green and Blue) side by side (thus ‘Parade’) in a single scope. The graph should be read as follows:<\/p>\n The ‘50%’ beside the word ‘Intensity’ at the top of the RGB Parade<\/strong> is only to increase or decrease the intensity of the actual graph itself and will not affect the shot or results in the RBG Parade in any way. This can be a very useful feature when you have subtle areas which are not showing very clearly which can be amplified by turning up the intensity or if the whole graph is too bright in your editing station and only needed for simple reference. In this case the intensity can be turned down so that you can still see the graph but it is not getting in the way of your other Premiere Pro video editing<\/strong> tasks.<\/p>\n As can be seem from the clip above, all three color channels are similar to each other which is an indication of a well balanced shot. When I use this graph I tend to look for offset between the color channels (as shown below). This is an indicator of potential problems.<\/p>\n Unbalanced Color Channels<\/strong><\/p>\n This may be a slightly extreme example as you can clearly see with your eyes that there is an issue with this shot. However, when we look at the shot with the RGB Parade<\/strong> we can very quickly see that the red channel in particular skews to the top of the graph, indicating a problem. In addition to this, we can see that the blue channel has far less information in the higher or lighter end, again showing that some change may need to be made to this shot.<\/p>\n For this example, a simple solution would be to add Premiere Pro’s Fast Color Corrector<\/strong> to this footage. Make a quick adjustment, which will in turn start to balance the channels more for us.<\/p>\n Fast Color Corrector (FCC) \u2013 Color Wheel<\/strong><\/p>\n Change to the Image and RGB Parade after FCC Change<\/strong><\/p>\n Another tool to adjust an individual color channel would be the RGB Curves<\/strong> effect:<\/p>\n RGB Curves Effect \u2013 With Change to the Blue Channel<\/strong><\/p>\n After RGB Curves Effects Applied<\/strong><\/p>\n This type of incremental work can help to correct the shot with valuable feedback from the RGB Parade<\/strong>. It’s worth noting that there may be times when the colors are dynamically skewed or at radically different levels. For example, in the shot above, there is quite a significant amount of red in the actual shot when you take into consideration the wood at the top of the shot, the teapot and other various red items. This in turn would mean that you could expect to have a stronger red channel for much of the shot in comparison to the other channels. <\/span><\/p>\n So, just because one channel is more dominant than another does not necessarily mean that the shot itself is unbalanced. Be sure to examine the shot yourself and make sure that the feedback in any graph you use is helpful to correct (or grade) a shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In this post, we take a look at the RGB Parade in Premiere Pro, a useful tool for improving the look of your video footage while insuring \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":14716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[714,39],"tags":[781,51,308,1332,1334,1333,5376,1278],"class_list":["post-class-post-14459","post-class-post","post-class-type-post","post-class-status-publish","post-class-format-standard","post-class-has-post-thumbnail","post-class-hentry","post-class-category-premiere-2","post-class-category-video-editing","post-class-tag-adobe-premiere","post-class-tag-post-production","post-class-tag-premiere-pro","post-class-tag-rgb-color-model","post-class-tag-rgb-parade","post-class-tag-rgb-video","post-class-tag-video-editing","post-class-tag-video-scopes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"BaseRGBParade\"](\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/RGB-Parade.png\")
