View two program monitors to match colors (CS6)

Hi,
I'm trying to color match two shots and I'd like to be able to view them side by side while I adjust the colors in one of the shots. It seems like a good way to do this would be to view two program monitors side by side - but is that possible? I can't see that option anywhere.
Using the source monitor for comparison doesn't make sense to me as I've already color corrected the reference shot and the source monitor shows the original footage (ie. the wrong colors). I could of course try to match the shots based on the source footage of the reference shot and then apply a second color correction but that seems a bit unnecessary to me.
Or - I remember that in FCP7 there is  an option to use split screen while color correcting two view two shots simulatenously side by side in the same screen/monitor. Is there anything like that hidden in PPro?
I'm also happy for any other suggestions on how to do this.
Thanks!

Open  the graded clip  in a Reference Monitor.
Un gang Ref Monitor from the Program Monitor and then start work on the other clip.
eg.
or..maybe
Quick and dirty way...
Frame Grab graded clip. Open it in the Source Monitor as reference. Flick back and forth.
BTW: CC Speedgrade has excellent multi monitor support  (2 or 3 playheads) for this  as well as a fairly good match clip facility (FWIW)

    Use a "Reference Monitor"  for your scopes

  • Switching ExternalMonitor View from "Source Monitor" to "Program Monitor"?

    This worked fine in CS6, but I switched to Premiere CC and my external monitor is displaying the contents of Premiere's "Source Monitor" only, not the "Program Monitor". When the Timeline or Program monitor is selected, the extrenal monitor is black. But slecting Source Monitor plays fine on the extrenal moitor (through SDI connection)
    How do I switch to the viewing the Program Monitor signal in my external monitor instead of the Source Monitor?
    Tech Setup: using Blackmagic ultrastudio mini monitor to send SDI signal. Have installed the latest driver for the Blackmagic ultrastudio, which is approved for Adobe CC. Everything works perfectly in Premiere CS6, it's an issue inside Premiere CC.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your help Peter!

  • How to VIEW two tracks's materials SIMULTANEOUSLY and SYNCHRONIZED in MONITORS?

    How to VIEW two tracks's materials SIMULTANEOUSLY and SYNCHRONIZED in MONITORS?
    "Program-monitor" shows the final edited material, and "Source-monitor" shows only one track at a time, and NOT SYNCHRONIZED with the sequence. "MultiCam-monitor" shows the tracks as I need, BUT editing is very stiff:  I want to do edits+cross-fades by hand IN THE TIMELEINE rather than by clicking the monitors. (Some of the "MultiCam-monitor's" other problems: 1) the timeline's time-inspector doesn't move while clicking the monitors, 2) vice-versa: monitor-image doesn't roll when the space-key is pressed for playback the timeline, 3) monitor doesn't show the cross-fades.....)   I understand the "Reference-monitor" doesn't help either at this.
    I would SO much like to SEE all tracks' materials simultaneously in whatever monitor, to edit efficently in the timeline.
    Software: Premiere CS3 version 3.2.0
    Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.4)

    You can only do this in the multicamera monitor.  That's what it's there for.  Proper procedure is to cut there, then go to the timeline and add transitions.
    If you're multicamera monitor playback isn't working correctly (I admit having a hard time understanding your points here), then try solving those.

  • Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

    Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor.  Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

  • Oversaturated colors in Source and Program Monitor windows

    After I updated to Premiere CC 7.1.0 the colors is much more saturated in the Source and Program Monitor windows and also in the Bin thumbnails.
    Colors is fine when viewing the video under Export Setting, in the Title window, in the thumbnails on the timeline and also when I open a ProRes export in Quicktime:
    I'm on a Macbook Pro bought in January 2013.
    I've tried switching the renderer between CUDA, OpenGL and Software Only - no change. I've also tried unchecking "Composite in Linear Color" under Sequence Settings with no luck.
    How can I change this?
    Best regards,
    Kasper

    I've been editing in Premiere since 5.1 and this has never been an issue before. So what you're telling me is I can no longer rely on colors when editing on my Macbook without having to plug in an external monitor?
    I'm not buying that - it must be possible to view the same colors in both the Source/Program monitor and in the timeline/Title window like always.
    What could the problem be associated to?

  • Big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 and Program Monitor

    I get a big Color Shift between exported H264 mp4 on Vimeo/Youtube and Quicktime X and Program Monitor.
    There are quite a few posts on Quicktime gamma issues, but there seem to be no solutions and the other editors I know don't seem to have this problem.
    I know there will be a bit of a shift but this is MASSIVE. At the moment I add a whole extra adjustment layer to all my clips to get it approximately right, but ofcourse this does not solve the issue nor does it give proper results.
    Please do not reply with the "You need a real reference monitor via SDI etc etc ..."
    By my logic on the same screen the program monitor should resemble what is going to be the final result in a relevant player like Quicktime X which all normal apple consumers use to watch their films.  I know VLC and Mpeg streamclip gives different results, but mostly when playing Quicktime/h264 files Quicktime will play it thus average users ( the people I'd like to downwload/buy my films )will watch it in Quicktime.
    Furthermore, Quicktime X's gamma/color looks very similar to the image I get on Youtube or Vimeo - which is where all my current work is going. I'm not outputting to boradcast or DVD etc.
    Strangely enough the MPEG 2 stuff I've done for DVD matches the Youtube output with the Program monitor.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I have a Dell 2711 wide Gamut Display which is calibrated with an SPyder 3 Elite using its full colour gamut ( close to 90% of Adobe RGB - thus bigger than sRGB or Rec709) Could Premiere be ignoring the calibration in the Program monitor and making the image values 16-235 and then Quicktime uses all  values 0-255? If so, how can I fix this?
    Any help will be much appreciated!

    I know this has been a while so hopefully you found some help by now, but maybe this will help anyone stumbling across this.
    What people seem to be missing in what you are asking is... this is the same file, on the same monitor, but with a different appearance in different software.  It is not a question of whether the overall monitoring is GOOD, and it is not a matter of hardware settings (as that would most likely propogate across all software) it is that it is not CONSISTENT side by side on the very same monitor.
    I had very similar issues that really seemed to get worse when we got new monitors, which is what lead me to chime in here.  The monitors were also wide gamut displays.
    The problem is likely this...
    1. The difference being shown are the difference between software that properly color manages (i.e. Premier or After Effects) and software that does not (i.e. Quicktime or some web browsers)
    2. The reason it is so severe is that the wide gamut monitors are able to show many more colors and thus the difference between the managed and unmanaged software is much more exagerrated than on regular gamut monitors.
    I found this great link that helped calm my nerves and helped me get handle on much of what is going on.
    http://www.artstorm.net/journal/2009/07/color-management-wide-gamut-dell-2408/
    Now that is not to say that the 0-255/16-235 issue is not also involved here.  It is definitely possible that a specific codec or compressor is part of the problem, but it sounds like it starts with the color management issue first.
    I hope this helps.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • PP Program Monitor displays with a color cast

    Hi all,
    Having trouble with the display in the Program monitor. I'm working with still images at the moment. All the images have a strong blue cast when previewing. They look fine when exported, or if you click on the image to reposition, the color seems to correct, but as soon as I play the sequence the color cast comes back. Also, getting the same cast with .AVI video.
    I am only having this issue on my laptop, all works fine on my desktop PC. Both machines are PC's running vista. I've also tried clearing my preferences and reinstalling PP. No luck.
    I'm working in NTSC DV now, but have tried creating projects in HDV and others, and still have the problem.
    Also, I've tried resizing the images, changing color spaces, etc, nothings worked. The images now are jpegs.
    On another side note, opening the reference monitor causes PP to have an unexpected error and crash. Every time. Although this is not really the issue I am worried about at the moment, it might be relevant?
    I've posted a sample of what the preview looks like here: www.jessicamans.com/PremierProCS4Issue/index.html
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Hello - Does anyone know how I can color the middle of a two circle Venn Diagram in InDesign CS6?

    Hello - Does anyone know how I can color the middle of a two circle Venn Diagram in InDesign CS6?

    I essentially do what Ellis recommends, although I usually use a somewhat different method:
    Draw two circles
    Copy and paste in place
    Select the topmost circles
    Use Object -> Pathfinder -> Intersect, which creates the green object in Ellis' screenshot
    Then grab the bottom-most circles and use Object -> Pathfinder -> Exclude Overlap
    Lastly, with your Exclude Overlap circles still selected, use Release Compound Paths.
    This has the same effect, but I don't love the anchor-points-and-scissors method myself. Many years ago I taught myself Illustrator with a flaky mouse on an irregular surface; it left me with a pathological hatred of tasks that require fiddly mouse-work. So I have keyboard shortcuts for all of the above, and can select all of the objects without having to very carefully mouse over a path. If you're fast with fiddly mouse-work, Ellis' method will probably work better for you than mine.

    Open Premiere Pro.
    Press CTRL+F12.
    From the top right fold out menu, select 'Debug Database View'.
    Make sure 'EnableDogEars' is set to 'false'.
    Press CTRL+F12 again to close the Console window.
    Restart PR.
    Do not mess with other settings, since you can easily create havoc and mess up your installation beyond recognition.
