Thank you from a very novice colour ‘inspector’. You talk easily and naturally, without false, jokey, over-hype and I just like your style. Some tutorials get turned off very quickly!
Definitely the best color correction video. Thank you for speaking conversational english. Most of the other assume that we are all already Steven Spielberg and use language to make themselves indecipherable to us novices. One issue: I wish you would have come to completion of the color correction for us to have a complete process. I have subscribed.
Thanks, Sachin. Much appreciated. We're going to do a live RUclips stream Q&A this Thur, 12:30pm pacific time. Drop in or let us know if you have a question you'd like us to answer.
This is how color grading should be explained. Both theory and practice are shown in this 1 video. I feel like I learned something really important from this video man. Appreciate it!
after effects artist/editor with 10+ years experience here, thought this video would be too basic for me but i watched all the way through and found it helpful. nice work!
Watching this in 2021 I wasted so much time in trashy RUclipsrs videos trying to understand color correction until I found yours :) This was very useful direct to the point and fun to watch:) Thank you so much!
I've learned more about color correction in 2 of your videos that I've learned from others in months! I like the way you explain things and I can follow your practical examples easily. Thanks and keep it up!
Thanks you slowed it down at the right moments, and showed stuff that some people skip like, how you opened certain windows and work spaces. Little oversights like that can make otherwise cool tutorials almost worthless.
This is so brilliant. Clear, step-by-step and really well explained. The only thing I'd suggest is to do the corrections in an adjustment layer -- that way the underlying footage remains intact. Your videos are excellent -- thanks for making them.
This is amazing and by far the best tutorial on Color Correction after reviewing a LOT of RUclips clips ... Why the hell do you have just less than 500 like and less than 5500 subscribers. Thanks a ton for your work
Wow, this was probably the best video on color correction out there, this channel should get more attention so people can learn easily. In literally few minutes I've learned more than any other videos has taught me. Awesome job man!
I watched other videos on color correction and none of them are as good. Had to come back to this one and took notes this time. Putting this to good use.
Hey man, I knw I'm like 3 years late with this comment (and u actually posted this video just 1 day before my birthdate), but I have to say this is a GREAT video on the theories and practicalities of colour correcting. I have watched quite a few videos which are fairly informative but I am impressed with your presentation. Keep up the great work
Hello... A SHOUT OUT appreciation for your simplified, straightforward demonstration with Color Correction process !! Clearly, you have talent and a few hours of skill for painting clear illustrations !! You have a new fan!! Keep those Vids coming !!
Super helpful, and I particularly loved how you effortlessly guided us through the process, keeping it technical yet practical (mention of useful short-cuts even included), and flowing yet not rushing. SUBSCRIBED!
Best class ever, thanks so much for making me understand in less than 23 minutes what I hadn't been able to understand in years, the way you explain is wonderful and you really pulled my focus to color correction. Greetings from Venezuela.
Great coverage and explanation of color work in Premiere. I really enjoyed this video and learned quite a bit. Thank you for doing this and looking forward to exploring your other topics.
Highlights and whites refer to the brightest pixels in an image, shadows and blacks refer to the darkest. So you can boost the levels of their ranges individually without affecting too much of any other level. Hope that helps a little.
As far as I know, the highlights are the brighter areas in general whereas the whites are the areas that are very bright. The shadows are the darker areas in general and the blacks are the very dark areas of your image. I may be wrong.
Excellent.. Ive took some shots with a drone p4 and a Canon T6i, they looks way different and it was on the woods... Isn't there any video coloring woods instead of people with standards color... And also make them looks even... Thanks
Since humans see other humans all the time and we all have the same blood, therefore very similar skin tones, then we have tools to make sure skin looks correct. Everything else can get more creative and is left up to the eye of the colorist (or editor). We are not aware of any specific tools to check "green tone" in plants. It's pretty much up to your taste at that point.
You are very welcome and glad it was helpful. Making videos that work is our goal. We just made our first full-length course available for sale, on mastering audio. Link in the description above.
Wow! Great video. Thank you! Now if I can learn how to solve / ”fix” an inside scene (sofa with glass doors behind) where the sun went in and out of the clouds and changed the lighting nearly 2.5 stops.
FINALLY!!!!! A premier pro video that actually makes sense!! Everyone else goes so fast as if they’re teaching themselves🤦🏽♀️ I learned so easily from your step by step video....Thank you Thank you Thank you....I have 2020 and I didn’t see the Fast Corrector...It’s already obsolete?
Obsolete just means they are not going to support it anymore and it could possibly disappear in a future version. Check out my Part 2 of this video to see what we can do to replace it.
You guys do a pro work. When I subscribed (not long ago) you had 700 subs, now 977. You guy are getting there, don't change a thing :). You should do a weekly episode doing some non related videos (the actual reason I subscribed was the professionalism you show when talking, but I also LOVE your sense of humor). Chilling with Frank and Spuds :P
you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me
These are great! Love the simple technical explanations, gives you something concrete to build on. Grateful that you all make these available to everyone.
Thanks, Dave. We get that question a bunch. We're probably too busy making videos and terrible at marketing ourselves? That could be it. Thanks again and yes, please share!!
The BEST video on Color Correction. PERIOD! I have watched a ton of videos on this topic. Some do get into the scopes but have no clue how to effectively use them or use them the correct way. I do have one question on the Parade (RGB). Should you tweak the red, green and blue to be even across the top and bottom? Keeping everything just above 0 and just below 100? Thanks again:)
In my experience color work doesn't work that way. It really comes down to the content in the shot. Making the adjustments that you mention only seems right, but it's not the way to approach color correction. White balance isn't just making RGB all equal. Also, there are reasons not to keep everything above 0 and below 100. Hard to describe in a simple reply, but personally, I never found a workflow that works they way you asked about.
I agree with what your saying, I am sorry I was not clear on what I was trying to say. I was referring to using the Parade (RGB) for white balancing. I assume the goal is to get them all (red, blue, green) to look roughly the same?
Dude! Great video. I've been watching a ton of tutorials and they pretty much cover all of this but you explain it better and more calm, right up my alley. I'm gonna watch more of your stuff. +1 Sub
First of all - THANK YOU!!!! Finally, a good tutorial about color corrections that really explains how I need to work and what I should look for when I do it (and not "just do this and that" types of videos). I do have one question though: After you finished working on the chef clip, he kinda looked a bit orange (to me). Now, it does look like the light in the kitchen, in general, is orange (because of the fire and all), but is it still the right skin tone?
Your good, and I appreciate how well you explain, and your pace is perfect....I never thought of putting white & grey cards on the slate...thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial....you are appreciated....
I’m. A complete newbie to film making and this has been great - I understood a lot of what you were saying! I’m using Prem Pro 2021 so hopefully not too much difference?
Thanks so much for the video! I do have one question...when I create masks, I'm struggling to figure out how to make it show the mask only so I can see the scopes on it. When I have a mask in place, it's still showing the whole image. How do I fix this?
This usually happens when you create the mask on a different clip than you want. First, make sure you select the clip you want to create the mask on. Then choose the opacity control from the effect controls panel. Also, if you have clips stacked on top of one another, you might want to turn their visibility off so the only clip that is visible is the one with the mask.
I just can't figure it out. I have spent hours and by the time i'm done my videos look like abstract paintings. For some reason if I even touch a single slider everything looks horrible. I have even stopped wearing blue shirts in videos or my shirt looks fluorescent purple. Lucky I found a cinestyle lut that actually works and I can use that with my white balance and a little sharpening to make a half way decent video but I cant even touch a single slider or it all looks crazy.
Pull My Focus No, I'm talking about the luma waveform. On the right side of it you can go from 255 (whites) down to 0 (blacks). My question is, why did you stop at 26 and didn't go all the way down to 0? It's probably a stupid question, anyway.
I see. No, it's not a stupid question. I was eyeballing the black levels so I probably didn't take it all the way down to zero, that's all. Also, I tend to adjust contrast levels by turning them up and when you do, the black levels will go down even more. So it's a totally valid question, sir. Thanks!
Love ur white balance technique will definitely be using that. Now when u get to the grading do u still use scopes or are you done with them at that point.
That was fantastic. I would also have loved to see a side by side before and after shot once you were done. Great video and it is exactly where I am in my post-process right now. So it was timely too. Thanks!
This was amazing, thanks for the video, I appreciated so much. Right now I'm finishing a short film of mine, and i had zero experience with color correction, and you save me, thanks. One suggestion: the same but with Color Grading.
Man, dont get me wrong... I just want to hug you for your very very simple explanation about color correction process
Thank you from a very novice colour ‘inspector’. You talk easily and naturally, without false, jokey, over-hype and I just like your style. Some tutorials get turned off very quickly!

Damn, what a compliment! Thanks!!
The way you explain things is exactly the way I need to hear them for my brain to understand. Thanks so much, killer video.
Same situation here.. Cheers
Watching this in 2021
I wasted so much time in trashy RUclipsrs videos trying to understand color correction until I found yours :) This was very useful direct to the point and fun to watch:) Thank you so much!
I've learned more about color correction in 2 of your videos that I've learned from others in months! I like the way you explain things and I can follow your practical examples easily. Thanks and keep it up!
One of the very few videos on colour correction that has helped the 'penny to drop'. Many thanks and a great job!
Thanks for the comment. Penny drop? Awesome.
Thanks you slowed it down at the right moments, and showed stuff that some people skip like, how you opened certain windows and work spaces. Little oversights like that can make otherwise cool tutorials almost worthless.
This is the best video on color correction out there! Oh my god, I cannot thank you enough!
I've watched a MILLION color correction videos and yours was by far the most helpful!! Thank you!
Thanks so much. Looks like we are one in a million! :-)

We want more grandpa but what we gotta know is, does he cook those greens with a smoked turkey leg? Cause that's the way you do it.
Lol, grandpa will be back...and he definitely uses a smoked turkey leg.
I knew it! I can smell them greens from here.
The white balance process you showed was a HUGE tip for me.
Awesome bro. Even b movies gotta have proper color balance. Keep the b movie flame alive! (no zombies in bikinis?)
It’s 2021 and this is still, by far, the best tutorial on color correcting.
loved it, especially how to make screens bigger, and move between them, or find the panels and how you get certain screens up. Really great video.
You do a Great job breaking Color Correction down. Thanks!
Hey man, I knw I'm like 3 years late with this comment (and u actually posted this video just 1 day before my birthdate), but I have to say this is a GREAT video on the theories and practicalities of colour correcting. I have watched quite a few videos which are fairly informative but I am impressed with your presentation. Keep up the great work
It's never too late to compliment me! Lol!
You just saved my life friend!, after years I finally found someone who clearly explained what I need it to learn, big thanks man from Venezuela. :)
Super happy that you watched our video. Thanks!
you deserve a lot of subscribers. This is a game changer for me. thanks a lot.
Hey, thanks for the kind words. Glad it helped.
Hello... A SHOUT OUT appreciation for your simplified, straightforward demonstration with Color Correction process !! Clearly, you have talent and a few hours of skill for painting clear illustrations !!
You have a new fan!! Keep those Vids coming !!
I from Bhutan ,,,,, I have been anticipating for right tutorial video and it helped.
Thanks From Taiwan.
Am overwhelmed with this tutorial more grace sir
Really cool explanation and easy to apply. Let me get right to it, thanks!
Super helpful, and I particularly loved how you effortlessly guided us through the process, keeping it technical yet practical (mention of useful short-cuts even included), and flowing yet not rushing. SUBSCRIBED!
Wow. Thanks for the kind words and the sub. We will try to keep the content quality high!
That was great Manu. You explained that so well and unlocked some mysteries for me. Subscribed!!!
Best class ever, thanks so much for making me understand in less than 23 minutes what I hadn't been able to understand in years, the way you explain is wonderful and you really pulled my focus to color correction. Greetings from Venezuela.
Not only really great video content and quality, but audio too!
Great coverage and explanation of color work in Premiere. I really enjoyed this video and learned quite a bit. Thank you for doing this and looking forward to exploring your other topics.
love the video and the series, Manu, Frank. I'm a total fan.
Thanks, Eli. But we were a fan of you first buddy.
Great video! I'm still a little confused between the difference between shadows/highlights and whites/blacks
Great question. We're going to do a live stream to answer these questions, maybe this Thur. We'll record and post as well.
Highlights and whites refer to the brightest pixels in an image, shadows and blacks refer to the darkest. So you can boost the levels of their ranges individually without affecting too much of any other level. Hope that helps a little.
So what is the difference between shadows to blacks? (or highlights to whites?)
As far as I know, the highlights are the brighter areas in general whereas the whites are the areas that are very bright. The shadows are the darker areas in general and the blacks are the very dark areas of your image. I may be wrong.
Excellent.. Ive took some shots with a drone p4 and a Canon T6i, they looks way different and it was on the woods... Isn't there any video coloring woods instead of people with standards color... And also make them looks even... Thanks

This is a lifesaver for a newbie like myself. My eyez playin trix on me!(in my Scarface voice)
Amazing video! Such a clear and elaborate explanation! By far the best I have seen. Thank you!
A lot of thanks guru, respect from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Great video, refreshingly efficient and useful, especially after scouring RUclips for days. Happy to subscribe. Thanks for the content.
You are very welcome and glad it was helpful. Making videos that work is our goal. We just made our first full-length course available for sale, on mastering audio. Link in the description above.

After watching many videos, this is the best one on this subject. Thanks!
Very easy to understand the basic. Thanks a lot.
Can't agree more with you. Color correcting is more a math or science than an art.
Wow. I will watch all your videos now... 😀
best color correction video i've seen on RUclips so far! very well explained and fun to watch too! thank you!
Excellent tutorial man, thanks for this.
Great video, thanks for making the effort.

Thanks Tudor, much appreciated. It is in our plans to do some form of episodic web show. We just gotta figure out a way to make a living doing it.
you probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Howard Finnegan instablaster ;)
These are great! Love the simple technical explanations, gives you something concrete to build on. Grateful that you all make these available to everyone.
This is help I needed and perfectly explained for this Premiere Pro novice. Thank you!
Wow. Nice tutorial. You explain things very well and everything is clear.
Dude! This channel rocks! How come you don't have more views? Let's share this thing ma boy!!
Thanks, Dave. We get that question a bunch. We're probably too busy making videos and terrible at marketing ourselves? That could be it. Thanks again and yes, please share!!
very useful , Than you! Paticularly since 18:00, when it says how to get creative.
So much useful information. Thanks for this.

So glad I found your channel. This was exactly what I needed, thank you.
Of course. You got it!
Can you make a video on how to apply color grading... luts after color correction?
Great and easy to understand video. Learnt a lot today. Keep up the good work. Liked your presentation style 👍🙏🤗
Excellent... this channel is going to blow up. Superb instruction. Thank you very much.
Great video! Some fantastic tips!
you did great job.. explained so well.. :)
can you make a video about colourgrading and it's possibilities? Really well explained. keep it up
We've gotten many requests for a grading lesson. We are in the process of making one now.
@@PullMyFocus awesome!
Well explained. Thanks!
Excellent video and explanation, to the point. Well done sir.
Fantastic tips! This helped me so much
I love this guy!, love from Venezuela.
I did not want this video to end... *subscribe*
Wow. That's the coolest thing anyone has ever said about our videos. Thank you. :-)
Pull My Focus what a resource!! Thank you for the vids!
Excellent tutorial. Brief, concise, helpful.
This was great! One question though, why don't you go all the way from 255 to 0 at 19:35?
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you asking why the contrast slider doesn't go from 255 to 0?
Pull My Focus No, I'm talking about the luma waveform. On the right side of it you can go from 255 (whites) down to 0 (blacks). My question is, why did you stop at 26 and didn't go all the way down to 0? It's probably a stupid question, anyway.
