@@AidinRobbins I having seen so many color grading tutorials on youtube. This was the only one that really helped me get my head around how color grading works.
The mistake I've been repeating for all my videos, I have never desaturated the tint in shadows and highlights, and never really thought the Luma vs Sat curve can be used in this way. Thank you so much Aidin!
Man this was so good. I thought I was in school. Aidin, you could teach a class. For real! What I like about how you teach is that you don't just say move the slider, you show us how the slider changes the image. For example, you told us that artifacts are in the purple and blue side, and you show us how to protect the skin tones. This is awesome! I've watched so many videos on color grading, and nobody I've seen shared this and some of your other tips. When you share tips with us like this, it helps me learn what is possible and how to do it. I don't want to copy your grading style, but understanding how to get certain colors helps me explore different grades to find my style. Thanks for your awesome videos.
Bro... I think this is the color grading tutorial that anyone and everyone trying to understand color grading should see. I knew a lot of this but you explained it in such a way that it made me understand it on the spot as opposed to the hours of searching and video watching it took me to learn. Awesome awesome video!
As a complete noob who wants to learn to shoot and edit better videos, this tutorial is just pure gold! Thank you so much for taking your time to explain everything so clearly, and I will definitely play around with these adjustments in the future.
Being a pro - I get requests for "how to" all the time, and yours is the first tutorial video that is actually beyond good! Excellent tutorial for beginners. As good as it gets. No ridiculous jokes, no crazy intro that goes on forever, no music to interfere with trying to hear what you have to say - tutorial videos don't get much better than this. And the way you zoom into various parts to show what your doing is just tooo good! With no ego involved. Congratulations! My personal atheistic nit-picking taste comment would be that I think you make your blacks a little to dark. But you did mention more than once that you grade to personal taste. Video people like to do that because for them it feels more "film-like". But if you look at the GREAT films, they don't go quite as dark as you do. But that aside - you are an A-one teacher!
The true way to color grade like a pro, hands down!!! Thanks man for showing an in-depth tutorial on how to first properly color correct and then apply color grading techniques that will help the world create truly unique videos!!!
wooooow, it seams it's allready been said by everyone but damn, this really is the best color grading tutorial i have seen! Not just showing how lumetri works with some exaggerated examples while trying to sound cool and professional. But really explaining why you do what you do as well as the limitations of the techniques in different cases. I mean, color grading is so tricky to learn and teach. because there ARE some rules, but they all have so many exceptions and a lot of it comes down to personal preference and a keen eye. you can't just tweak til the scopes look balanced and expect to have a grate look. In my experience it's often tiny changes that makes the colors pop, and it can be hard to understand why, but you see it when you see it! Your material here speaks for it self and i am blown away by the extreme yet so natural look you are able to create! can't wait to test out these techniques my self, and hope to see more in depth videos by you in the future! keep it up! :D
man that`s incredible! probably the best tutorial on working with lumetri color so far. I`ll definitely apply some of ur techniques to my own workflow.
You've explained you techniques in the most elegant way. You were clear with the dos and don'ts all while not making the viewer full away by the mistake they may or may not have made.
desaturating absolute highlights and absolute shadows may be the single most innovative tip i've ever heard. This is why my shots look bad! Thank you thank you thank you!!
DUDE!!! This was by far the best colour grading tutorial on YT I've ever watched!!! You explained everything so clearly!! Love u man 👍 Keep up the awesome work!!!
I've never understood what those curves meant until I saw your video. Loved how you managed to breakdown what seemed like an impossible topic to learn into bite-size pieces. I sure am a lot clearer on the subject now. Thanks buddy!
Dude, you're like one of the few youtubers who actually teach people their color grading process. Others just do basic correction and then slap in their luts midway to promote it. Good deal, this was really helpful.
Bother let me tell you this is pure gold. 24K. When every other channel out there is pushing LUTs down my throat you actually take a moment to explain the whole process. Keep doing your good work!
I always make such subtle strokes on the curves adjustments. Then I watch you take the hue vs sat and just completely bottom it out and I'm like "He can do that?! I'm allowed to do that?!?!" Nobody else is teaching this stuff as practically as you are my dude, and I've watched hours of tutorials, webinars, etc. I've got a year on you in age but you've got at least a decade of knowledge and experience on me. Crazy stuff.
this is awesome! I saw your video months ago on setting up the Lumix G7, which I ended up buying, and just now I am trying to wrap my head around colour grading instead of just throwing a lut on my videos and I found this from you! You seem so grown up now! Fantastic tutorial, the best I have seen and you made everything so easy to understand, thanks brother!!
I'm thinking of getting a white balance card set.. it's basically a set of 3 cards - a pure black card, a pure white card, and a neutral gray card... So what I can do is, I can hold these cards in in the beginning of the shot (just like how you did in 4:53) so that my post production is more effective: The pixels from the pure black and pure white cards will be helpful for fixing the exposure using scopes, And the pixels from the white card can be also be used to fix the white balance.
Even I’m a FCPX users I’ve Learned so much. Love your personal color grading techniques they look epic and cinematic. Big fat thumbs up my friend. Keep it up👍🏼
Has to be literally the 1st time I subscribe to someone after watching just 1 video! Your tutorial is so simple yet so helpful instead of a lut advertisement as someone else mentioned! Well done!
The luma vs Sat tip is a big white saver To get that you should watch full video and keep your premiere pro on and pratice as he tells and se does that make change.
I've been looking for a simple overview of colorgrading, and I've finally found it. Thank you, From explaining the scopes to the hue curves you've leveled me up.
Not only a very well explained way to achieve your style but a marvellous lesson on how to use many tools and tricks to get our own style. Simply what we need Aidin, huge thanks! P.S. I had so much fun following your advice step by step and making it mine in my own way
"Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime" This is gold. You teach me how to do it. Thanks Man, Thanks a ton!

Yo, iknow this is an old video and I've been following since it was posted but just recently tried it in my videos! Super dope and easy to follow and also nice to FINALLY understand colorgrading.

Bro I haven’t even finished the video yet I just wanted to say THANK YOUUUU!! This is the video I’ve been looking for, an actual tutorial on color grading not just a “Hey go buy my LUTs to color grade” 🙏🏽🔥🙏🏽🔥🙏🏽
This has been on my “need to watch” list for a while, and I finally got a chance to watch this. Loved it. Explained a lot and a great place to start experimenting.
Wow! What a great tutorial! This is exactly what I'm looking for. Coz colors are not joked to mess around. Thanks a lot, Aidin! This is a looooooot of help!
This was the most in depth video I've seen on colour grading, I'll be using these techniques for the foreseeable future to make my videos the best quality I can. Thank you very much :)

Really glad to hear it!
I like how you showed the "generic travel influencer orange and teal look" and said NOT to do that hahah😂😂👌🏼
By now it's old asf and has nothing original about it, people should come up with their own interesting grades... like Aidin!
Also, your channel is gem 😂
@@siceastwood2714 Yeah it's been overused to death😅🤷🏻♂️
@@siceastwood2714 yo thanks mate! :))
@@teocrawford hope you remember me haha you and aidin are my inspiration!

Bother let me tell you this is pure gold. 24K. When every other channel out there is pushing LUTs down my throat you actually take a moment to explain the whole process. Keep doing your good work!
That luma vs. sat tip was actually so damn good. Don't even know why I've never used that before...
