Take a look at the color wheel. Here are its parameters:
t
Hue Angle
: Move the outer ring clockwise to shift the overall color toward 
red; move it counterclockwise to shift it toward green.
t
Balance Magnitude
: Move the circle out from the center to increase the 
magnitude (intensity) of the color introduced into the video.
t
Balance Gain
: Set the relative coarseness or fineness of the Balance 
Magnitude and Balance Angle adjustments. Moving the handle toward the 
outer ring makes the adjustment very obvious. Keeping the perpendicular 
handle of this control close to the center of the wheel makes the adjustment 
very subtle.
t
Balance Angle
: Shift the video color toward a target color.

 Note:
If there’s an 
object that you know 
is white in the video 
frame, you can click 
the eyedropper next 
to the White Balance 
color chip and click 
that object in the 
Program monitor. 
Adobe Premiere 
Pro will choose the 
Balance Magnitude and 
Angle values for you. 
Unfortunately, this clip 
didn’t have any objects 
that we knew were 
white, so we had to use 
the manual approach.

6
Change the Saturation parameter (below the color wheel) to about 120 to make 
the colors a bit less intense.
7
Slide the midtone input level to about 1.6 to lighten the midtones. This is the 
same as adjusting the Gamma values of the clip, which you could also do using 
the Gamma effect in Adobe Premiere Pro.
8
Deselect the Show Split View option. Note that if you don’t deselect this view, 
Adobe Premiere Pro will render the split view into your final video. Once you’ve 
done that once or twice, you tend not to forget to deselect Split View.
