So i have been editing my videos a lot and basically never understood the fundamentals of Color, this is the 1st video I learned something super cool. Thanks
Agreed, and I've watched hundreds of color grading videos the past 3 years. This one is the most proper and complete. Only the parts where you need to match completely different scenes is missing but it's fine.
@@colorgradingcentral I love your Davinci Resolve tutorials too! Dipped my toes with DR now would like to try out Premiere to see what's the difference out of curiousity.
Colour grading has always seemed so complex to me. Even in uni, they had us watching RUclips tutorials to help show us how it's done, and it never seemed like something I could do. Thank you for simplifying it like this, huge help with my current project!
his vid is really good and teach us a lot. but don't make less from cinema school plz. I see a lot of people doing that and don't apreciating a lot of things that a school can give ya. And it's not 16 minutes of material, it's years. RUclips is awesome, but there are great schools that are also awesome!
Matheus azevedo I know people who went to film school and they said they wasted 30-50K and learned way more at a faster rate being on set and mentors than being in school and I also know people that learned a lot in film school... I know there’s schools out there that are worth it but from my experience and others I know, to me I know it ain’t for me
Luu Cam i know people that went to film school and now are in completely different careers while I’m the one doing film lol. Traditional schools are antiquated nowadays.
I absolutely learned so much in this short video! I used to increase and decrease the corrections manually for every single clip. Glad I found out that I can actually copy paste it and how to use the adjustment layers. Great video for beginners, super easy to understand. Thank you so much for this!
I've watched quite a few color grading tutorials and I have to say that this is, BY FAR, the best one out there! Lots of info, super well explained and straight to the point. Well done!
the best explanation ever. Usually people describe color grading as simply "I add little of magenta here, little of yellow here, go a little darker here and a little lighter here" but never actually explaining their principles and where they are heading for. And here is the first person to finally explain WHY he makes certain decisions and diagrams to look for. Thank you!
Your explanation for how to achieve the orange and teal look is the best I've seen so far. So many others (including myself) have recommended using the color wheels and it just never looks right.
I recently bought an entire course on Premiere Pro, and the color grading section was a total joke. The teacher couldn’t even get his own footage color graded the way he wanted and what I watched left me with no better understanding of what I am doing. Then here comes this 16 minute video that makes this all FINALLY make sense! Thank you! Subscribed.
I swear I've been watching tons of different videos about colour grading, but this is by far the most digestible video out of everything I've watched. Really appreciate the well made video. Thank you!
I wanted to begin editing a short film my friend and I made over last weekend. I knew nothing about color grading going into this, except that it makes film look good. Now, I feel ready to attack the panels and dials to ensure a solid finished product. Thank you so much.
I often use an adjustment layer to fix exposure in general and then i go to clip by clip and tweak it to get it perfect. Then i add the layer with the "grading"
Your videos never disappoint! The detailed tutorials, clear comparisons, and brilliant showcases of sound design and storytelling are incredibly helpful. Thanks for the insightful and well-explained content.
"and BAAAMM.. dunski." this is me every single time i do something dope while color grading. thank you for an incredible video that literally taught me more than the two editing classes i've taken in color and paid thousands of dollars for.
The best color grading tutorial I have watched since four years ago. I did not give up on trying to find a tutorial that made it look so simple. Thank you brother.
This being my first color grading video ever watched with no experience at all, I'll definitely be coming back over and over to ingrain your tips and advice. THANK YOU!
This is probably the BEST tutorial on anything I've ever seen. SUPER clear, step-by-step, and you seemed to know the questions I had in my head and answered them eloquently. Well deserved of 1m+ views!
I had subscribed 4-5 channels but none were able to give up the secret to color grading like this channel did. Half way through the video, I started feeling lucky!! Many Many Many thanks...
This is one of best video editing tutorials I've seen since I've started shooting photos and videos. Not boring and very informative and easy to comprehend. Thanks!
I never tried to actually properly color grade one of my films. Watched this so I could color grade an assignment, next thing you know my film is getting nominated. Thanks so much! I've been subscribed since that day and I stumbled back onto this video rn and wanted to leave a comment (:
What really cool was, you just used the same footage and editing to both Davinci and premiere one. And it just made me realize adobe is much much easier.
You are a lord. I was struggling to understand the basics, but now it all makes sense! I am a professional audio engineer, and working on waveforms is really intuitive for me. Thank you
Dude i really like the way you edit and your talent to explain al things you do. Please keep doing content for people like us that want to know more about good editing. You are doing great.
Hey this is a really detailed tutorial, and thanks for posting! In my experience though, I use the colour wheel sliders to adjust the shadows and highlights instead of the basic correction tab. I've noticed the latter is a bit inferior, and actually works differently to the colour wheels. The basic correction sliders introduce clipping and crushing much earlier than the colour wheel sliders do.
É incrível como esse cara ensina de forma simples e didática. Tem muito BR que faz vídeo sobre Premiere e pensa que está salvando a Amazônia. Nem precisa entender todas as palavras que ele diz para absorver mais informação que esses youtubers made in Brasil
This video just changed the game for me. I've been editing professionally for 15 years but always relied on colorists to deal with this part of the process (this laziness is 100% on me, haha). Color-grading alway seemed like magic to me, but you've done an amazing job of demystifying it. On big jobs, communication with the color team is going to be much more productive now that I understand more how the process works. And small jobs where I'm doing it all myself are going to look WAY better! Thank you!
I have watched this many times before, but because of a lack of the basic knowledge of these tone things, It was too hard for me to understand, Today I finally get how great it is, the best crash course for tone ever. Thanks so much.
An incredibly clear and articulate tutorial with valuable information? A free webinar still running that helps you even further?! Who are you and why have you been sent to save us lol
I am in a video production class where the professor is not the best at explaining how to do things in Premiere Pro and I have been struggling a lot. I decided to look up color grading on here and I found this video. I took notes, watched through multiple times, and I feel extremely confident in what I am doing. Thank you so much for this video, it has helped me way more than you can imagine. Liked and most definitely subscribed.
As the new lone Videographer for a good sized company, this helped me so much. Your explanation was incredibly simple yet informative and helped me give my footage that extra flare. I will for sure be following your channel from this point forward. Thanks, brother!
This should be titled “color grading made easy” thank you I’ve been color grading with only one instance of the curves and now I know how to use multiple instances of Hsl secondary
abi senin videolarının rengini görüp hep merak etmiştim neden yemyeşil yaptığını. eski videoların yemyeşilmiş, şimdi daha iyi ama hala çok geride kalıyor renkler. sanki kameradan standart çıkmış gibi gözüküyor.
I was never good at color grading, but after watching this video i am not converted into a professional but still i learned so many things for doing good color grading.
This was absolutely awesome. I've been color correcting using colorista using the guided color correction mode and then just throwing on LUTS without really knowing the ins and outs of what it was I was doing. This explained it so well. Definitely going to try using the lumetri color tool instead for my next video. Thanks for sharing this! Awesome channel - I hit the sub button!
Thanks so much Rudy, I totally can relate. I started with Magic Bullet Looks and sort of just went with what looked good. But after learning a few valuable techniques it really informed by workflow and started to have a tremendous impact on the look of my work giving me a more clean image. Thanks for giving it a watch and for the subscribe!
I have watched several vids about color grading, but this is the first time I have it explained in a very simple and straightforward form, thank you!!!
You explained everything so well in one video. Thank you so so much. this was literally everything I was looking for and things I didn't even know I would use
a beer? What is he an amateur??? When you come to Nashville, hit me up, you deserve a steak dinner @Kayne Prime! My confidence for color grading just grew 100% since I am anti lut!
I always used to just increase saturation and clarity. didn't know lumitry color had all these options. The first video to explain it in so detail in a short time.
I have always been a photographer, and recently started doing video, I never am able to get the colour and look from my photo edits onto my videos. This really helped a lot. Big thanks!

Color grading in Premiere Pro CC to get the pro film look!
Is there a crossgrade path for people like myself who bought the Cinema Grade course to get the Premiere Pro Course?
Awesome tutorial!
This was a great help. A PDF might be a help as well but I'll rewind.
Thanks
Thank you
Got to the end of the video before I realized...I'm not ready for this stuff yet. Wow
So i have been editing my videos a lot and basically never understood the fundamentals of Color, this is the 1st video I learned something super cool. Thanks
Seriously. Same!!
Love you bhai! Same :))
yes he did an amazing job explaining
SAME! HE DID GREAT VIDEO!
@@aturbanwear8427 Seriously. So concise I didn't even realize I wasn't utilizing Adj. Layers at all compared to what I could do with them.
By far, the best premiere tutorial I've ever seen here on RUclips.
Thanks so much Josep!!
Agreed, and I've watched hundreds of color grading videos the past 3 years. This one is the most proper and complete. Only the parts where you need to match completely different scenes is missing but it's fine.
Is this better then Adobe light room?
@@colorgradingcentral I love your Davinci Resolve tutorials too! Dipped my toes with DR now would like to try out Premiere to see what's the difference out of curiousity.
Absolutely, learned more in 17 minutes than I had done in a month. Not just the how, but the why!
Colour grading has always seemed so complex to me. Even in uni, they had us watching RUclips tutorials to help show us how it's done, and it never seemed like something I could do. Thank you for simplifying it like this, huge help with my current project!

@@colorgradingcentral Color Grading Central This was an excellent video don't pay attention to the trolls.
@@colorgradingcentral Everyone says it on here and they are spot on. You have talent all around
You just saved a bunch of future film makers a bunch of money a course for color grading in school is thousands of dollars

Thanks for the kind words! Happy to help!
I agree. The way Denver did it demonstrated how to keep those skin tones looking good with the orange and teal look.

Loving the tempo, the information and the way you clearly explain everything in detail without being redundant / repetitive. Subbed!
