I have some footage that's a bit flat and I want to make it look like it's shot on a summer evening (which it was) but I want it to glow, as if I used a warm filter
How do you suggest I go about this?

I'm in a rush, but you could try that - overall warming in fast color corrector, or try a graduated filter, too.
Preset?

Hum...4 plugins that comes with any NLE:
Curves (to adjust the color to the intended look)
Levels (To adjust the brightness)
Hue/Saturation (to lower the saturation on other channels (like Blue or Green) to bring a warmer feel)
Glow (Just a little bit, to give something "magical")
I guess it's a little more than that you want:
Overall color corrector could work, but that's always depending on what's the final result he wants...
From which plugin?
Almohada - I'd love a preset for something like this! But I don't have one, if you know of any plugin then please do throw it my way
drapeama & Dr. Benway - the difference in those images is just what I'm going for! The main problem I have is that I'm colour blind so I find colour correcting really difficult, because I can think something looks right then show it to someone else and they tell me the colours are wrong. The freedom of three way correctors usually allows me to divert from what I'm actually going for too much.
I'm used to just using the 'Warm Filter' effect of Photoshop on stills, shame there isn't such a function in premier pro
I've tried boosting saturation a bit, dropping brightness to give it that bit of depth, and boosting the reds a little and it seems to be the right direction from what I'm seeing from playing with it... But it's not exact

With the fast color corrector use the white balance color picker and select a "cool" colors as neutral white balance. It will give a global shift of all colors towards a warmer tint. Play around until you hit the target. Once you see the changes in the color wheel, you can enhance these manually.
As Janke said, a vector scope will help you tremendously.

Make sure your monitor(s) is/ are properly calibrated.

The best calibrated monitor won't help a color blind![]()
