In photoshop when you import with bridge there is a simple way to adjust white balance.
Is there such a way to do this with Premiere? Or what is the easiest way to fix white balance issues? Thanks peeps

Hey Scott,
I use Sony Vegas.
I use the colour correcter tool. I guess Adobe has the same thing.
It has 2 color wheels and a eye dropper for each. I pick the color wheel for the bright color and pick a white spot in the video to use the eye dropper.
If there isn't a white spot I use the same color wheel and move it to take out the color cast as best as I can.
Of course as you found out, it's always best to get it right in the camera first.

well on photoshop you can just adjust the color temp and it does it, or it automatically recommends it. Doesn't seem so straight forward in Premiere. Is there a plugin I can get to ease the pain?

there are lots of auto tools, auto levels, auto contrast etc and then your can adjust the auto adjustment too. It's really almost as easy as PS to do. It really is amazing at all the controls in Premier

After Effects is a lot better with any fine-tuning. Most/All of my submissions come from AE.

Curves can correct white balance? I am not that good at this. :-). I need help! I can't find the auto wb function on the Premiere Don.

the one plugin to master in premiere is the 'fast colour corrector' - you dont really need anything else. read up on it.
