  • 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.

  • 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.

    • 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.

      @DoubleDag@DoubleDag2 ай бұрын

    • I think both because premiere is more popular and because for basics he said no matter what program you use

    • 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.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
