Here’s our list of the best-preset transitions in Premiere Pro, honestly they're mindblowing.

Using Lumetri Colour

Lumetri Scopes is a godsend; it’s beneficial and will allow you to pick things up that the naked eye just wouldn’t.

Using the Lumetri Scopes function in Adobe Premiere Pro allows you to analyse your footage in a detailed manner. There are certain colours or shades the naked eye will not see, and you’ll only notice once your films complete.

You can analyse the colour scopes to ensure you haven’t got too many anomalies and distorted colouring that would only show up once the film is completely processed.

For an in-depth breakdown of Lumetri Scopes, read our full guide here.

Using Lumetri Scopes will save you a lot of time; you will be able to see any colour inconsistencies. This allows you to adjust the colour grade before it’s exported to the big screen.
