How to change bulk black and white clips to colour

[Steven Grevis]

Hi Team,

So I have a bunch of black and white clips that I wish to bring back the colour into. Anyone happen to know how to do this without having to manually go into each individual clip and bring the saturation back?

Sort of like a bulk change?

Cheers!

What file format are you dealing with? Are you talking about colorization, or am I missing something?

Colorization is fairly difficult, costly, labor-intensive work -- essentially an offshoot of animation and VFX. If the pictures don't move, then it's basically painting.

save a preset look in Redcine with your colour settings. Then apply to Project or all clips in Bin.

I assume you desaturated them in Red cine or such. The name a setup with saturation and apply to the rest of the clips.

Director/DP just desaturated the colour in camera, but in certain shots the client wanted to pull some stills in colour hence the question.

Set your saturation back to 1 within Adobe Premiere raw RED information, then save it as a preset within your raw settings window by right clicking at the top of it. It will go under your effects tab after you save it. Then select all clips and paste attributes.
Just had to do this with a music video where the artist wanted both color and black and white versions.
