0:00 intro 1:39 Davinci Resolve 3:32 Premiere Pro 4:40 Final Cut Pro X 5:48 Online Color Grading Workshop Key points: isolate the skin color--adjust the tone---desaturate the shadow
This is the best tutorial on self making Teal and Orange instead of relying on LUTS. Keep it up on showing in all 3 Applications. Your teaching is the best. Thanks a lot.
Now this is the most straight forward and easy to follow colour grading tutorial I've seen! I did not know about the mask tool for skin tones in premiere!
Been using FCP for 6 years and never noticed we could save applied effects to new presets... I've been using Motion 5 to do it but this is game changing, plus nice tips for teal & orange, thanks man !
A quick tip for qualifiers! Instead of using the “denoise” function is recommend trying to increase the minimum saturation slider to be ~.2-.7. It does the same thing as reducing the noise but without blurring your overall qualification. Hope this helps someone :)
I just realized this trick lately from my practice but I fount it too easy to believe and here you are omg. Thank god it wasn’t just in my illusion lol
I cannot begin to tell you how DOPE this video is. Seriously. This is an ACTUAL game changer. Crazy no one else is talking about this on YT. Thank you Denver!!
Just want to say thanks very much for using African Americans with dark skin as example videos. Can't tell you how many video editing tuts and examples I've seen with fairly light complexions and how difficult it can be sometimes with dark skin tones, especially when so much color grading doesn't take that into account. I really appreciate it.
Hi Denver ! 1) Isolate your skin tones and other similar tones then invert the selection 2) Push cool teal colors into the image with the offset/master control After doing step 2 everything is blue on my screen ( Even the skin tones ) What Im doing wrong ? I lost it here 2:49 . I did watched this tutorial numerous times. Im still cannot get it.
Are you sue you inverted your selection on the skin tones? You have to be sure to isolate or qualify everything else but the skin. Also which software are you using?
@@colorgradingcentral Thank you for your reply Denver. Im using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16. I did inverted the selection. When I applied teal everything become blue ( with the skin tones) Something missing is missing for me in your video.
@@topfelya send me a screenshot of how your qualifier looks to you to denver@colorgradingcentral.com also make sure the 'highlight' feature is turned off.
You're a great teacher. Such a simple tutorial makes you think how much time it took you to turn it from complex to easy. You are a brilliant teacher. Thank you so much!
What a huge difference it makes with this Teal and Orange trick that too without LUTS. You make it look so easy, but for novices like me, it will take some time.
Really great tutorial, but I'm a little surprised you guys only presented the "desaturate the shadows with a luma vs sat curve" method as the final step. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can kinda take warmth out of the deep areas of the skin tones, since you're desaturating ALL of the colors in the shadows. It creates more of a grimy urban look that won't work for some projects. The alternative, in this case, is to use some sort of color wheel for shadows to push some orange back into the dark areas. You'll know it's balanced when the shadows read evenly on an RGB parade scope, instead of the blue channel being higher than the others. The difference is extremely visible, and it's really good to be able to go that route if it suits the project. Thank you for the video!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU EXPLAINED AND DEMONSTRATED THAT PERFECTLY. I ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND. AFTER DAYS OF RESEARCH, FRUSTRATED....YOU SUMMARIZED EVERYTHING DESCRIPTIVELY IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. DUDE YOU ROCK!
This channel is so awesome. I color grade amateur movies, I watched a ton of videos, and yours are the bests by far. You show usefull informations, well explained, without useless talk. I love it and I will sign up for the free one hour online workshop for sure!
amazing strategy to get the popular orange teal look faster than other methods without the use of LUTs , demonstration is straightforward and top performance , thanks for using a few apps.
Bro, I just came across your videos I have to say, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! These lessons are AMAZING!!!! Where have you been all my life?!! I have learned so much in one day than I have in the last year, YES YEAR!! You are my new best friend!!
Such a great video!!!! I would love to see you attempt and teach another color contrast grade apart from teal and orange. Perhaps blade runner grade? That have magenta and another color I believe.
Dope tutorial man! I saw this done in Davinci and was like man I wish fcpx could seperate skin tones like that 🤯. I like how you showed this method on three different platforms, that was awesome. I just sub'd.
dude this is literally the money shot of color grading if your like me and you almost understand it but its too scary and puts you off even trying......
"Boom Baby Chicken Lady" The most awesome part in this video. BTW I am a student of Color Grading Central Academy. You always Make thinks so user friendly, my grading has improved a lot since taking your Course. I am an all time Sony A 7 3 User so far.
@@colorgradingcentral Yeah I Have Using this Since it's launch. And I am practicing with the Picture profiles. Wish I could get a guide from you regarding the picture profile of Sony. As you know A 7 has a 8 bit color which limits grading to an extent especially considering log footages. although after taking your Course I am confident enough to have a decent output but then also Picture profile is way too important as well.
I use this tip to subtly add the exact color combo given in my recent edits on some of my projects in Davinci Resolve 16, and all I have to say is is this: You are a freakin' legend in my eyes for such an effective and simple trick that I will have in my bag probably forever. Cheers, friend.
mAsk the subject and disable it. working with the background, lift the blues (infact, pull down the red curve in the shadows), mask (again). this time disable the background. work with the subject, and HSV adjust, shifting the browns (red = brown) to orange. there
You just changed the game for me. I cant wait to go attempt the color grade now. That separation of skin tones to the background has been needed for so long. 🤯
you are such an amazing person for doing this.... other people trying to sell out to make money, and you just show people a secret how to get a cinema look with couple easy step and also reserve the skin tone.... i am so happy to find this video... i been editing for 7 years... and finally i found the way to do it.. thank you one more time
Men, this make me thinking about how much time did I spend looking for this in other tutorials, even downloading LUTs. I just learned how to do it in 2 minutes.
I am really excited when you uploaded this tutorial as this is the exact effect i'm looking for without the use of any LUTs , powerful simplified demonstrations really helped me to keep up .
Finally! 7 minutes that obliterates hours of tutorials and tons of money spent on LUTs. Good Job!
Thanks so much Bruno!!
Br!!!
Extremely good job, understood all of that & I'm a rookie
Great Great Great Job. God bless you

Hey Chris, do you know how to invert the selection in premiere pro?
Been using FCP for 6 years and never noticed we could save applied effects to new presets... I've been using Motion 5 to do it but this is game changing, plus nice tips for teal & orange, thanks man !
Happy to help!!
Sir please give me this luts
seriously! me too! im like daaang! lol
How did he save these as presets? I didn’t see that
AM2PM when you have the color tab open it will be at the bottom. If not, check what version FCPX you have
A quick tip for qualifiers!
Instead of using the “denoise” function is recommend trying to increase the minimum saturation slider to be ~.2-.7. It does the same thing as reducing the noise but without blurring your overall qualification.
Hope this helps someone :)
This is by far the best and easiest way. Not to mention the most versatile. HUGE THANKS!

You're welcome Matt!

I have learnt a lot from it. I was somewhat confused in color grading but its clear now.You make it look so easy,Thanks for sharing
I have never seen the adjustment layer recommendation for color correcting multiple clips in premiere until now...I'm super grateful!
It's probably because you were... swimming in the dark
kbye

Woah. Didn't expect to see Glenn here. 😁

Hey Glen how're you doing?! Do you have any idea on how I could get a better "teal and orange look" on my Metal tone? :3
hello glenn :D
After months of studying how to make color grading look more natural, I learned it in just 7 minutes, thank you so muchhh!!
Happy to help!

how would you do that ? That sound slike a good idea, but how do you target only the shadows and then add the orange back?
@@geodude4real You can use a color wheel that only targets shadows, or just manipulate the bottom part of the RGB lines on any curves tool
One of THE most effective teal and orange grading tutorial!
excuse me while I go back and recolor every piece of footage I've ever shot. Well done man!
