here's another quick update for working with color and your blue metric color effect. This is actually something that's been around since CC 2018 and it's the masking and the tracking of your mask in the loo metric color effect. Basically what we can do is apply a specific color correction to just a portion of the video. So here's an example of a shot of flowers I downloaded from pixels dot com, a great place for free videos to work with and I've applied this funky color correction. So first, what I did was I played with the temperature, I drop down the highlights, the shadows and then I got creative with the color wheels or not the color wheels, the curves rather. And I changed the hue of that pink flower to this sort of purposely blue spacey kind of color. What if I only want this, the fact that I've applied to this clip to be applied to the flowers themselves. What I can do is use the mask options over here in the effects controls tab so I can either create an ellipse mask, a square...

mask or a free draw mask, which means I can create some sort of custom one, which I think is going to work best for these flowers since they're kind of an oblong shape. Now, it's important when you do this to go to the very beginning of your clips of the first frame that you want to have this mask on. And so I'm at the very beginning of my timeline, you'll notice as I completed that mask, it made the color correction apply only to what's inside this frame, I can adjust this with the feathering and the opacity. And if I don't want it to do too much, I can adjust kind of decrease the power of this effect with opacity. We could also play with those things later. Now if I just just left it like this, what would happen is if the flowers move out of that little mask, it's going to look a little funky. It actually kind of looks kind of cool when it's doing that a little magical. But what if I want that mask to follow it. So if I click this mask, you can see it's covering the flowers. Then I just click this track selected mask forward button. Now premiere Pro is going to render it out and you can see that this mask is actually following the flowers. Now let's go ahead and let it track. So now it's gone through and if we play this, you can see that it follows the flowers a lot better now and you can do different things to play with this and see how it just stays on those flowers. And if I pause and the mass path is selected, you can see that it is still hovering over those flowers go through scrub, you can see that it's moving now, there are some options. So if I click this uh drop this tool button right here. So if I expand that and then the ranch tracking method, you can track just position, just position and rotation and position, scale and rotation if your camera is still and it's just an object that's moving across the frame. You might only need position if the camera is still but maybe shaking a little bit, you might be okay with position and rotation if your camera is moving in or out or the object is moving closer or further away from the camera, like these flowers are, then I would do that last option. It's usually your best option. It does take a little bit longer to process but I think it definitely works better now if I still want to go back and edit these colors, say I go back and say, oh I actually don't want that temperature or the exposure adjustments. I just want the color adjustments to the flowers with the curves. Now we have a very much more pinpointed effect applied to just these flowers in the foreground, not the ones in the background, awesome. So that's the tracking option. I just wanted to go over that to show you an example of how you would actually use this in the real world
