Thank you, I am new to color correction but isn't the first/easiest step in grading log footage applying a conversion LUT and then take it from there? In my case that would be a v-log to rec709 LUT to get the corrected footage and then adjust to taste..?
Sometimes when people teach it seems it's more about them showing you how clever they are; this video was great as it simplified the process. Get the colour balance and exposure right in camera and then a quick contrast/saturation adjustment and it's done.
Most interesting thing was the universal skin tone. I’d never have guessed if you had a white, black, and Asian sitting at a table you could say “pick any skin and adjust for that slightly red and it’ll all work out for all of them.” I’m going to have to experiment with that to convince myself, but I understand the principle of surface blood tint and all of us bleed red. Fascinating.
This is so helpful, I've been trying to get this clear level of help. The biggest thing I respect about your channel Luc is that there's no fluff and you're not here to make things look complicated to boost your ego. You provide or connect to resources that are practical nuts and bolts that work.
Great basic overview of color grading. The last few years I've kinda delved deep into color grading just because it gives that extra element of control to make a really good image, it's a hard process to get other people on board with because it can feel very intimidating at first, but when you start getting consistent results it'll make your work stand out.
Great video, thanks for the clear explanation. As a Saffa living abroad for 16 years, this made even more sense to me as I could relate to the lekker accent.
I don't know how to say thank you to you guys. But if I have my way, I'd treat you both to hot plates of amala and gbegiri😅 with lots of goat meats. That's my native dish 😅 You guys are amazing. I like the way Luc interrupts with questions like "What are you trying to achieve with....." That's one way to make sure points are driven home, and also to ensure that the purpose of making this video is achieved Double thumbs up 👍🏿👍🏿. Your clarity is from another planet
Such a helpful video!! I’ve never done color grading before but accidentally shot in log recently for a project and this made grading so much less terrifying, thank you!!
This is great! So often, these demostrations move so fast, you cannot follow what is going on. I really appreciate this approach. Thank you, Luc and @runaar1.
@@runhaar1great colour grade episode guys. I’m getting into this mainly for use in my underwater videography. Fixing the colours in underwater videos is a must to get good results. Alex do I recognise a Jhb or CT accent ?
excellent explanation on how to dial in skin tones. I had a project open while watching this and I dialed in the skin tones from my Sony FX6 like I had never before with this technique. What a difference. Although I have access to DR at home I dont at work...so Premiere is what I have to deal with and this just made my work flow easier...thanks
i have been struggling to find a useful video on color correcting LOG footage. After this video i already feel like a pro haha. thanks for the very informative Video!!
It’s my dream to become a colorist under the guidence of a genius colorist... Nice to know about Alex here. Thank you Alex & specially Luc to bring such a inspiring conversation to us. Hope oneday I will fly from Toronto to Vancouver to meet such a brilliant colorist. Till then I will be following your valuable tips & guidelines for my ultimate experiences 💕👍👌
EXCELLENT video guys. Very well explained and the way you made the video using two people discussing it rather than one person explaining made it easier❤
Wow! Just what I needed! With my lack of experience, I felt a bit discourage in the past color grading with 8 bit footage.. This gave me the confidence to retry shooting Slog. Thankiouuu Luc!!
Thanks so much. Luc...so many questions answered. Like you, scopes intimidate the heck out of me...also I have no interest in being a professional colorist...but to know these basics is so helpful.
Great video! Love this style! This is more about colour correcting than colour grading though. Would love to see a follow up video where you go into more depth about colour grading, especially from the perspective of a cinematographer.
This is AWESOME! Thank you so much for this video! I love it when I can leave a video with a clearer understanding of what questions I should be asking. Man, you and Alex are like bread and butter: Alex serves the the bulk of the info (bread), then you come in with the viewers perspective in mind (knife) and apply some interpretation (butter). Luc, from the side you look very much like Hugh Laurie.
This is so well done and very educational. As a solo video journalist, still not sure if it's worth the time and effort to shoot in Log...but maybe. Thanks very much.
There’s something I do for stills to get good white balance: push the saturation all the way up, then adjust WB. When you drop the saturation back down, the WB is natural. Then there’s a good basis for colour grading. I don’t use adobe products. For stills, I use Capture One Pro, and for videos I use Resolve. Premiere may be easier, but it isn’t always the choice available. I would love to see this in Resolve. For now, I’ll muddle my way through to find the correct settings. Good video and very informative.
Luc man where you been all my life what took you so long to come in my recommendation this is insane man I ca't explain my feelings how I am feeling right now please make more videos on how you can achieve different looks
I would have never guessed saturated and contrast were one and the same bc I've just been using vibrancy to make the colors come out to look natural but this is something im gonna have to try
This was one of the best videos on colour grading. Got my pen and pad out to make lots of notes. I am feeling much more confident with my he idea of using scopes and waves. Thanks for taking the time to create this video 😁👍🏾
great explainer. Love the skin tone tutorial. I was wondering what the color grading was done straight on the clip vs doing an adjustment layer? Thanks!
In the opening of the video he specifically says that it doesn't matter what software you use and Premiere is a good place to begin if you're new to color correction. Then you can slowly move into Resolve once you get comfortable with the basics.
Great video for information and to help understand the concepts! I was actually trying to follow along in Resolve, and was wondering why I was having trouble when I suddenly realized Luc and colourist were working in Premiere. I don't have Premiere, I have the free version of Resolve. If you get a chance to do it in Resolve at some point, I would definitely watch it. I watched this video before months ago and just watched it again now, because I just got the Moment app so I can shoot log with my iPhone so I am now trying out colour correcting. Thank you.
Really cool. I like that the method applies to all LOG footage. The tweaks are different but the start is the same. I shoot in Clog2 on C70's and Clog3 on an R5c. I can start with this and see if I can get them close. I was just messing with some footage. It works. Thanks.
I love this, it breaks down some of the initial grading I was trying to do and beautiful tips to get to the next step. What is the advantage of increasing contrast in this way instead of using a Color Space Transform node?
I subscribed ur channel after seeing this video and Thank you very much for such a valuable information, lots of love & respect from Karnataka, India 🙏🙏
Amazing stuff! Can you also talk about how do you budget your shoot, like how do you decide what your rate should be depending on the type of shoot you are doing and what is your advice for charging a client who is starting and reaching out people, also how much you should negotiate for the rates. Thanks!
For me as a photographer I always thought shooting underexposed is better as its easier to get back the details in post however recently discovered that when it comes to videography, shooting slightly overexposed is better to grade... Started filming and grading just few months back
Would love a follow up to this video. I have been using these techniques for my videos, and need to take it to that next level, but want to build off of this foundation. Thanks for the content
Thank you for generously imparting your knowledge on this subject matter. It has provided me with valuable insights into areas where I have identified deficiencies. This information serves as an excellent foundation, which I intend to incorporate into my existing workflow moving forward.

I don't have words to appreciate , he made it so simple , I feel so relieved . Thank you so much for this masterpiece 🙏
The Color-correcting tips are awesome; delivered in the most easy-to-understand way. Alex rocks. Thanks Lucy for making this happen. Love your content
Thanks Alex and Luc! I was always intimidated with color grading- Now you guys showed me it isn't as complicated as many youtubers make it seem🙏🙏
I’m still intimidated!! 😂
Lol gotta love when I get part way through a video only to see footage from one of my videos in there 😂 4:33

My Nigerian brother 😂
Those big 3 color wheels was always intimidating. Thanks for showing me that I really don’t have to use those to get good color. 👍
It's a shame i can't like this video more than once ! This is pure knowledge ! Thank you man
i watched it with full concentration, it is really good actually, now my fundamentals are clear, i can start now

It is about colour correcting
Massive thanks for this - I understood the concept of grading, but this is a great place for me to start.
My pleasure!
A nice collaboration between you both with an appropriate level of technicality. Would be great to see the same video but using resolve.
Thank you. This is a great start to making my projects better. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey guys - you hit it out of the park! Excellent! One question though, you don't use highlights or shadows sliders?
This just confirmed my decision to switch to Resolve! Thanks Luc!
They're using Premiere Pro.
@@Enterstainers what is this some kinda sick joke?.

This was so good and learning in premier so rare. WOuld ove to see some shorts just highlighting the key points
Great tutorial! Having two people so one can ask questions is a great way to do these

i agree, adobes pricing absolutely sucks compared to a software you can get without spending a single dime.
@@prinzexisalowqualityytber wdym? Adobe Products are always on a 100% sale for me
I appreciate the effort you guys put on this video. Information we got is priceless, thanks a lot!

Great video,learned alot.Great pace.Greetings from South africa
What a great video/tutorial!
love to see South Africans doing big things!
Thank you very much for this video!
wooow fantastic, exactly what I was looking for! thank u
Awesome tutorial! Just out of curiosity could you elaborate on how we could copy the correct/grade we do to another clip from the same scene?
this is what i needed indeed!! Thank u 😇
Super helpful, thank you so much. Simple and effective.
Wondering why this was done in premier after the recommendation to use Resolve.
Because the guy who when there use premier and wants to learn 😂
In the opening of the video he specifically says that it doesn't matter what software you use and Premiere is a good place to begin if you're new to color correction. Then you can slowly move into Resolve once you get comfortable with the basics.
I think both because premiere is more popular and because for basics he said no matter what program you use
Maybe didn’t need colorization..
