I previously mentioned how I would use Lumetri Color to change the color of the smoke in one of the shots using the Hue vs Hue feature. Unfortunately, that did not work as the white smoke was not a color that registered. So, I had to use another method and looked elsewhere in Lumetri color. I went searching on YouTube and found this video that taught me about the HSL Secondary which was much more specific in what you can change. I played around with it and unfortunately I ran into the same problem. At this point I started to look myself as to what I could do. I figured a packed editing software like Premiere was bound to have something.
Turns out I didn't have to look past Lumetri Color like I thought I had to. I found a slider that could adjust the tint of the footage ranging from green to blue which turned out to be just what I needed. In the same video I learned how to create a mask around objects I want changed so I did that and changed the tint of that part of the footage.
At first, I was meticulosly keyframing the mask around the hand the moves into it frame by frame. Safe to say I was going insane. When trying to find a work around I just started skipping frames and adding key frames during big changes. Turns out thats all I needed to do as the mask started moving by itself to those positions.
While it's not as clean as I want it to be it got the job done and I'm still pretty satisfied with it.
