At first glance this seems very limiting.īut … is it really? Premiere’s Structure Explained And while there are a few additional useful color/tonal effects in Premiere, it has nowhere near the breadth and depth of Resolve. It has some very usable color tools, from tonal sliders through a great curves section, color wheels, HSL keyer, and a few other effects. ( I’ve heard complaints from those with the Big Kahuna Advanced panels that they aren’t allowed to change things either – which drives them nuts, too! Ha.)īut Premiere has the Lumetri effect, a built-in Color Workspace that is displayed as a Panel within the user interface (a big deal, as you’ll see). Plus, I can’t change things to where I want them to be on the panel.

My Tangent Elements panel has half its tools dark and unused in every frickin’ mode that Resolve supports. Resolve also rigidly pre-programs control surfaces … which are totally controlled and locked down by BlackMagic. You can show/hide sections, you can reveal/hide alternate tools … but what’s there is simply there. Yea, you can add some plugins and effects, but you don’t need to for many things.īy its basic design, Resolve’s color page is a fixed thing.

Once you learn how to hop between tools, it’s a pretty slick interface. The color page only shows at any one time a small selection of the total tools available on that page. Not quite up to the “everything including the kitchen sink” level, but … close. Resolve has a very wide and deep built-in toolset. The ability to massively remap your colorist control surface (or not).The rigidness of their User Interfaces (and how that influences your workflow).You need to use Premiere’s flexibility to overcome its limits – and not just focus on the differences between the two platforms.Īfter many years of working with both Premiere and Resolve, I break down their main differences as: Premiere has a simpler toolset but the UI is vastly more flexible. Resolve’s toolset is deep but the UI is tightly structured. And before you can really get comfortable color correcting in Premiere, you need to understand the differences. Why does working in Resolve and Premiere seem so different? Easy! Those two applications are built around completely different mental models.
