Best lesson ever.... White balancing when there is no white and grey in the the shot is a game changer
-
I really appreciate that you included instructions for dark skin. So many cameras are designed to detect lighter skin tones.
-
This is absolutely amazing. I’ve been shooting my own music videos for the last few months with almost no idea of how to properly color correct them and this was easily the best tutorial I’ve found so far. Thank you
-
Hi. Emmy nominated journalist here. You stepped up my video editing game more in 8 minutes than any professional development I've done since college. Thank you. Tip #3 literally made my jaw drop.
-
The flesh tone line was the one that I wasn't grasping, but you just completely educated me on it and the "tip" with the mask FX was Genius!
-
wow! this was such a good tutorial! I've watched a lot of color correction videos and most of them boil down to playing with sliders but you provided a systematic way to do it.
-
Hard to even express how much this single video has helped me produce video content. Literally reference it every single time I put something out
-
Before you asked the viewers to comment below, I already wanted to say how thankful I am for this tutorial. I've been in film and photography now for some time. I never take things for granted and never act too good to learn new ways. This is a fantastic video and I truly appreciate your time. Happy New Year everyone!
-
very and extremely helpful. in just a short video, you showed everything how to color correct not only the skin tones but the entire scenes as well in so easy to understand and follow demos. as an intermediate, i super appreciate this. thank you.
-
This is amazing. I've been doing videography for a few years, but just got a Canon R7 and tried Clog3 for the first time ever. After watching several videos, I felt overwhelmed, and this video changed that for me. After playing around for a few hours, I feel super confident in my colouring now! thank you a million times!
-
Tip #4 was my favorite tip. I never thought about creating a mask first. Game-changing! Thank you!
-
This is the best, quick and the most essential tutorial I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much!
-
Love that,thanks for your share!
-
My favorite tip is tip no. 4. Using the vectroscope YUV since skin tones matter alot. Besides I think I learned sth new which is to create a mask in the opacity to single out the area we are using to correct WB with which enables the scope to only take reading from that area, awesome! 😊👌🏾
-
I've been struggling with color correction for a while now. You broke this down so well and I feel much more confident in my skills. Thank you!
-
Excellent video. Tip 4 was the one I needed because my clip does not have any white in it but I followed your instructions perfectly using the Vectroscope YUV to balance the skin tones which was my issue and now the video looks perfect. Thank you again.
-
I love your channel. My favorite tip on this video is how simple you made it to adjust skin tones. Huge time saver. Thank you
-
Wow! Excellent! You asked which was the favorite tip - The flesh line. By far the best video I've found on color correction in Premiere! Thank You!
-
This is the most helpful tutorial I have seen for color grading, especially when beginning with skin tones and then working out the white balance. Excellent video!
-
You are right brother, learning something will really eat much of your time. But, I never felt that because you are able to share and explain the step by step process of the proper way of color correcting a video. Hats off to you man! Best tip is just masking a certain area of skintone/white and then adjusting it accordingly so it hits the Vectorscope. Really helpful brother!
