I like how you showed your full process and thinking behind it. A lot of grading videos are super fast with jump cuts to make it look like they knew exactly what to do and are hard to follow.
Thank you Thomas! This video helped me a lot to get started with color correcting and also starting to edit in Premiere Pro. You made it simple to follow. Happy new year! /Peter
Hi, I’m a bit confused when color grading skin tones. I followed along while editing my own footage, & got stuck at basically the end lol. After isolating the cheek & adjusting the skin tones, I checked to see what it would look like but the edits affected the entire clip. How do I prevent it from adjusting the whole thing and just the skin? Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial, Thomas. I stopped using Premiere Pro and started using Hitfilm Express and DaVinci Resolve. But it is always great to know the creative process of more creative folks like you.
@@Tvennet Oh man, I've never used either software and searched for Resolve. Seems like the color graphs are the same for both though so it should translate to Resolve pretty well.
We’ll see. Some might just end up in private...but Everytime I open the projects, I’m kinda not feeling it... Reason why : you should always edit after you shoot. Never wait.
Why waste time shooting in flat/cinestyle profile at first, if the objective is to bring back the color as if filmed using the standard profile.😂😂😂. No Offence intended. Btw, is there a definite/specific set of Color rules/ look profile That defines "CINEMATIC"? I doubt. NO OFFENCE INTENDED. Keep up the good work. 👍.
And « cinematic » is an overly used word. But if you look for « cinematic » colors: Teal & Orange is way is mostly used. And to be honest, I didn’t get offended, but clearly, I don’t colorgrade to get back the standard picture profile. I color grade to get to most natural colors. The standard picture profile doesn’t keep much details in the shadows, but and is slightly over saturated. Reason why I shoot flat. And maybe, maybe, I should have added that you can apply another adjustement layer to give that cinematic look, but you always start first by getting your footage to the most natural possible before anything. In standard profile, if you touch your blacks, you’ll get stuck because you have close to zero control over them, they are too deep.
Shooting a flat profile, basically allows for more control. It reduces artifacts caused by camera sharpening, and allows you to utilize the dynamic range of your camera. Even when making your footage look standard from a flat profile will always look better than a standard look straight from the camera. It essentially like buying a pack of rice that already mixed with seasonings, or just buying plain rice.

I did my best to not miss anything, and I hope it really helped. Thanks a lot for watching and taking time to comment, it means a lot!
I was looking for that one so much!! I am gonna try to apply these tips in Da Vinci! Thanks a lot, Thomas!!
You’re very welcome Jude. Am giving Da Vinci a try, maybe someday there will be a video, but no promises ;)

This was so wonderful and helpful. Thank you.

Thanks man...whether it’s da Vinci or premiere or final cut, the process still is almost the same. I’m just too used to premiere....
@@Tvennet yes, it is.😄 Interfaces are little different but does the same thing.
what ISO number is good for cinestyle profile?
I’ve seen somewhere that 500 is ideal
Needed this my color grading is trash if you can even call it color grading. I just end up with a bad Instagram filter after so many tweaks
It’s not an easy thing to learn. And like I said, there’s no right or wrong way to do it in my opinion...just make sure it’s the most natural looking.
I will leave the first comment. Thank you for the video. I wish I had a computer😆 😆 😆.
What!😂
I've been there, man. I exactly know how it used to feel to not have a computer.
@@gauravm. 😅👍
thanks man❤️
So what about color grading with an NF filter? Is that even a thing?
Thank You So Much...
I think your intro might be like 20db louder than your voice over lol
I think I don’t care because I don’t use that intro anymore 🤷🏻♂️
@@TvennetThis was the best video I've watched on Color Grading in Resolve!
Sadly, it was premier pro 🤷🏻♂️

Before I forget again, you should start edit and uploading those videos that you shot but didn't do anything.
We’ll see.

To waste your time commenting. Because obviously you don’t get why you shoot flat/cinestyle.
No offense intended 😉

@@Tvennet Thank you for enlightening me 😇. No time was wasted... But just wasted my time subbing to you channel...😜
@@Tvennet Great goin...Subbed to your CHANNEL...😜
