“We treat the software almost like a darkroom. The Adobe tools also become an extension of your process.”
Assemble rough cuts, finish with style.
Shape your story in Adobe Premiere Pro with Text-Based Editing, and then apply instant color grading with a Lookup Table (LUT).
Set up your project.
In Premiere Pro, start a new project and choose Premiere Pro > Settings > Transcription. Check “Automatically transcribe clips’ and select “Auto-transcribe all imported clips’ from the Transcription preferences. Set Speaker Labeling to “No, don’t separate speakers’ and click OK.
Then choose Window > Workspaces > Text-Based Editing to open the Transcript panel.
Import your footage.
Choose File > Import, select your clip, and then double-click the clip in the Project panel (Window > Project). Premiere Pro automatically transcribes the video and displays the text in the Transcript panel.
Start your story.
Highlight the text you want to use in the Transcript panel. In the Source panel, the playhead automatically moves to the footage with the chosen text. You can then drag that portion of the clip to the timeline. Repeat this to add clips as needed.
Pro tip: Type keywords into the Search field to highlight all the selected words in the clip. The ellipsis icon shows pauses, so you can cut those as needed.
Match color styles.
A LUT, provides a preset color look for your video. To apply one to your clip, select the Effects tab in the Project panel. Search for “Fuji Eterna,” choose Fuji Eterna 250D Fuji 3510 (by Adobe), and drag that effect onto the footage.
Pro tip: To apply a LUT to multiple clips, add an adjustment layer above spanning the length of your chosen clips and drag the LUT to the adjustment layer.
Fine-tune the look.
Adjust the settings of the LUT in the Effect Controls panel. To replicate Setta’s style, adjust the Temperature to —3.0, Tint to 3.0, and Saturation to 102.0.
