In this tutorial I will show you how to colour grade your footage using Final Cut Pro X. I will walk you through a Primary Grade (in which you match the luminance and contrast of various clips while correcting any colour issues), a Secondary Grade (where you use windows and selective colour corrections to accentuate portions of the frame), and then Mastering your footage (creating an overall look for your film). I will also show you how to create your own LUTs (Look Up Table) using Photoshop adjustment layers. I hope all this information helps you in honing your own films and getting the look you want.
If you would like more filmmaking tutorials, let me know in the comments.

This is by far the BEST color grading tutorial I've seen. I was overwhelmed by the idea of color grading, the use of color grading tools within FCPX, and LUTs...the thought of creating my own LUT was inconceivable. Now I can't wait to tie my material together. Thanks so much for putting this tutorial together. Incredible.
couldn't agree more.
After getting really tired of "Just buy and apply my LUTs" videos I really found this incredibly refreshing. A lot of videos just say how to do something but I appreciated that you explained why to do it. Fantastic.
I have watched tons of tutorials about color correcting. Yours is the only one that has a complete workflow that I could follow. It is clear and detailed. Many thanks. I am very grateful.
Great stuff Sean. after 15 years I am back shooting Video.. You have refreshed my memory and given me great inspiration to get back to it again. Cheers
Love the tip about desaturating highlights and shadows, only, leaving mid-tones alone. Thank you for providing so many great tutorials in an honest, straight forward way.
@Sean Tucker - This is seriously one of the best videos of this nature on TH-cam. Taking what are arguably really complex ideas and delivering them simply at a pace that it makes it easy to follow. Loved the "Create Your Own LUT" section as I think that is something that really can signal your own style, rather than the free or off the shelf solutions.
Thanks very much for sharing!
Glad I found your tutorial. Well done! Just want to let FCPX users know that the program does now have a built-in LUT loader. Click on the “i” in the inspector window of your video clip, click on Extended metadata views, where you’ll find a field that says Camera LUT, and choose Add Custom Camera LUT. Cheers!
Top best! Simple to understand yet so rich, detailed and sophisticated!
This is the most comprehensive and easy-to-understand FCPX/Photoshop grading tutorial I've seen! Thank you for this, It's really helped!
I fully agree.
Agreed! Straight to the point without too much interference talking!
Thanks for this, Sean. It's been frustrating trying to find someone who has a deeper understanding of color grading and a rational workflow to accompany it - and isn't just trying to sell their LUTs.
You break it down very simply and make it much less of a daunting process. Looking forward to more.
Honestly, that's the best 35 mins tutorial on color grading. I have watched a 100 videos on fcpx colour grading and this is the BEST
Thank you. You delved into areas I've never ventured. You've also encouraged me to get out more often with my camcorders. Life is beautiful.
Easily the best color grading video I've seen dealing with FCPX. Thanks a million.
Sean, your work is excellent. Thanks for all your videos. Your way of thinking and creating is inspirational and helps a lot!
This is the most comprehensive and clear color correcting tutorial! Thank you
Finally someone explained how to use this stuff in FCPX in a way that a beginner like me can understand! Thank you so much - you just got another sub!
This tutorial made me feel like I can FINALLY apply my photography skills into videography! The photoshop trick is so useful and can really help to transfer from photos into videos. Thank you!
This may be the best how to video I have ever seen on youtube. Well organized, articulated and explained. I feel like I can actually do this and understand how to do it after watching. Thank you.
What an amazing value to this tutorial @Sean Tucker. You're not saving on anything and although the video being lengthy it's got that typical "Sean" pace to it. Calm, confident, humble despite of great knowledge behind everything. I highly appreciate your channel.
I’m mainly a still photographer but dabble in video. Thank you so much for sharing this information!! It’s extremely helpful!
This comprehensive yet detailed video should've been called a " Grading Master Class " ! Thank you very much Sean. I hope you come back and do more like this
Thank you! It seems everyone is trying to sell me their LUTS and I just want to edit things myself! I am enjoying your channel very much Sean, keep it up! Truth be told I was getting tired of the other youtube personalities and their rather empty click-bait episodes about shit they think you should buy. Your philosophy is a breath of fresh air in this gear-obsessed corner of the internet.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial and learned so much. Plus I created my own luts, color graded and learned all about flat profiles which I knew nothing about. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge!!!
I’ve watched a lot of FCPX grading tutorials and none offer half the explanation this does. Thank you!!!
Loved your video so much. Very simple and easy to understand unlike the most others i‘ve watched.
I'm colour blind, and even I can now colour grade after this video. Awesome mate! I also love how you're not including any bullshit like drinking coffee, eating breakfast, jumping around, and other pointless quirky crap we see on most tutorials on TH-cam. Defo subscribed.
Thanks mate, but I wouldn't be too unkind on people who are trying to be creative with their tutorials and give some visual interest in their intros. it's free content and they are doing it to make their videos more interesting for viewers.
@@seantuck I guess as a middle-aged Brit I just prefer a more subdued style like yours!😂 But you're right, it's all free stuff and I can't complain.👍
Holy Crap. I had no idea you could create luts in photoshop. Thanks man!
Who's the best? Sean tucker... who's the best? Sean tucker... Who's the best? Sean tucker... i love the work you doing here, every one of yr videos has been a great inspiration for me personally... I must let you know that i owe most of my foundation in photography to you Sean tucker thanks a lot man
You are the best ! definitely worth it subscription, very clear, easy to understand. You have teaching skills, thank you.
Like the previous comments, this is the most eye-opening and inspiring coloring grading tutorial I've ever come across on TH-cam. Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge!
This is absolutely amazing! I didn't know I could create my own project-specific LUTS with Photoshop, so I was always all the corrections on Final Cut, struggling to change each clip individually to achieve the unified look that a LUT can! I cannot thank you enough for this!
Thank You for Sharing your knowledge. I consider myself an introvert too and it's great how you communicate ideas. You inspire and motivate..
Really helpful video - clear and delivered calmly. More please!!!
Wow, that was one of the most informative color grading tutorials I’ve seen yet. Thanks for clearly & concisely explaining your technique.
This definitely is the best FCPX color grading tutorial on TH-cam! Sean, THANK YOU!🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
Just hearing your voice is a plus, thank you for all the stuff you share with us🌹
Thank you so much for this very informative videos!!! i learnt alot new things from all of your videos,totally grateful that u're willing to share your time,experience,knowledge and wisdom,deeply respect you as a photographer,videographer and even more respect as a person!! God bless you Sean!
Sean Tucker thanks a million for this unselfish video tutorial, it's superb, fantastic, your instruction is fascinating, props to you, this is "SICK" :)
Thanks, I learned a lot. You are definitely one of my top go to guys. Let me add: more about videos, please.
The most clear and understanding grading tutorial. It works well with Affinity Photo too instead of Photoshop! Thank you Sean for sharing your experience.
I’ve always liked the colours in your videos and now I know why. You know what you’re doing. Far and away the most useful video on colour grading I have ever seen. Maybe I should start playing with that 4K beast of an X-E3 that I have. Haven’t shot a video in ages. Thanks for the inspiration and keep it up!
Like nr. 1000 from me ;) Especially the Info on how to create a general look in photoshop with the “thumbnails” of your project was fantastic! Thanks for making this video!
I really enjoy your explanations and it just fits with what I have to do these days. A big thank you for this precious help.
The is the best tutorial on Color Grading I've seen so far. Thank you again
Thank you :) Very useful. Haven't really practiced much grading since "color" is out of the market, but after watching your video, I'll give a go to the LUTS.
I was literally on my way home on the train wondering how to start colour grading my videos. Thanks for his upload. Love your videos.
A very succinct and rapidly informative tutorial Sean, devoid of the hype and distraction often associated with this type of instructive video. I've just improved exponentially.
I am somewhat new to in depth FCP so just getting into color correction. Obviously tons of videos out from some great folks. Already viewed a few BUT learned some new stuff from this one specifically as Sean develops focus on well Sean. The section on creating the second mask to highlight his face is very timely for something I am working on. Thanks man.
Now is 2021, this tutorial is still helping me improve color grading. Thanks a lot!!!
Thank you Sean! You're a complete PRO and this was one of the best tutorials I've ever watched on filmmaking.
Ive been really struggling with color grading video, this is a great help. Makes way more sense than other videos I've seen on the topic. Thanks!
Sean, what a PRO both at grading AND at teaching. I've watched a dozen color grading tutorials over the years this was one of the very best. Very generous of you and good karma ((-:
Thanks mate:)
I am a color pro and I have to say, well done, man. I also suggest to watch Neumann films and Yuri Palma channels because they are the best in grading on youtube (their recent productions seem extracted from Revenant...)
Hi Sean, thanks for all your content, I have loved your photo content for some time & appreciate this grading. Thanks
I wish somebody with the same degree of patience, professionalism and taste would do the same for Premiere users ... But thank you for all the knowledge that applies across platforms.
Sean!! Your tutorial is premier league! Thanks so much! :) Keep em coming!
I've been a huge fan lately. Your videos are really inspiring.
Hope you can make more videos on your video making routine.
Best explanation of colour grading I've seen so far - well done
Saw this tutorial 2 years ago! Came back to see it again to refresh all that i learned here as i have been procrastinating! Sean, i Owe you a beer one day! Thanks so much! You have gained 300k more subscribers already! I knew you were golden! Cheers mate, keep safe!
Absolutely brilliant. Wish I had found this three years ago!!! Have learned so much from this. Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Most helpful and understandable color grading video I’ve seen! I appreciate how you broke down your workflow and explained everything. I can’t wait to try your techniques.
The last clip (the thumbnail) is just so beautiful and moody.
Great job Sean, i really like how to you set the tone of your videos, really different than other TH-camrs!
Sean you are amazing! You inspire me! ❤️
This is the best color grading tutorial video I have seen(I watched many), in depth, very informative.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Learned a couple of new tricks I haven’t used before. Love the masking tool to create depth with the subject 🙌
Thank for sharing your techniques. Always good to see how other work.
Wow, just wow. I just started shooting in v-log for a few projects recently and “thought” I had a handle on basic corrections.... nope. I tried the color board technique (I had been correcting with curves) and to my amazement found a TON of color hiding in my shots. Boosting the global exposure then bringing down the midtones is brilliant! A couple more tweaks and I’ve got a great looking image! Big thanks for making this! Subscribed!
Really comprehensive tutorial video. Keep up the these great videos. Thank you very much!
Fantastic walkthrough of your grading process. The masked grade process is something I definitely didn't consider very much. thanks!
Really great video Sean. Shows HOW to grade step by step. Thanks!
Sean Tucker,
If you only knew, how many channels I’ve been through... let’s make the story really short:
- Just came across your channel, immediately liked and became your sub!
Thanks much for your hard work and for sharing your amazing skills with the rest of the world:) Humbleness and Wisdom:)
Peace!
Phillip C. Well said 🙌🏾
I have just purchased a drone and suddenly knowing how to properly edit my footage is important to me. I've a lot to learn but this has removed the mystery of colour grading/LUT for me. Have also d/l a copy of Da Vinci Resolve so double bonus. Thanks for sharing!
Wow. That was amazing. I learned more than any other video I have watched. I am new to FCX and this is a must watch after you have a chance to thumb around in FCX. I am glad I frustrated myself for a while so now this video makes sense. Bravo.
This is the best color grading video on TH-cam. I’ve learned alot, thank you very much.
This is the most comprehensive color grading video out there! Thank you!
Yes video tutorials and tips / tricks has become increasingly important, more and more people are posting how to videos and travel footage. video is my primary camera/drone usage.
Definitely an eye opening video... the most informative I've come across! Thank you Sean!
This is so far the very best video for the topic!!! Thank you so much!
Thank you soooo much for this video. Great content, great tips, very clear. Half an hour very well spent. Cheers from France !
This was really helpful.Thanks Sean. It's great to come back and revisit lessons later.
Just what I’ve been looking for , thank you. Good tutorials on FCPX colour controls are few and far between so this was very helpful.
One of the best videos I‘ve seen for color correction. 👍🏻
You're video was so useful to me!!! Thanks Sean, you're the best out there!
This was great! Very informative and helpful. Appreciate your time to share this info.
THANKS! for this tutorial, this is going to up my game in editing.Very inspirational
Fantastic video - thanks for the time taken and clear explanation
Why can't I double like this video ? Great Job Mr Tucker.
Sean, I am at mm 25:50, I work in PPro, and Photoshop...
Thanks for taking the time, to do this, I am glad, I stumbled on your channel.
I have found this tut, to be really nice and straight forward...
Even though you are grading in FCPro, the basics apply in PPro.
I uses, green screened people etc. over backgrounds I create / shoot...
Already, I see using LUTS, how I can take each of the different elements, and create a special look, that unifies, them, in a natural and somewhat seamless manner...
All the best...
Excellent video with a great amount of information. Thank you Sean! You're the man! :D
legend! thank you so much. learned more here - on colour grading, than i did in a year of A/V production course in a classroom 4 days a week. 🙌🏽
That's kind. Thanks mate:)
Hervorragend erklärt. Konkret und hilfreich. Danke.
Thanks for that Sean. I like the way you explain things. I would like to see how you grade in Premiere as well. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much for uploading this, single handedly the best color grading tutorial I've seen!
Very comprehensive instruction, I learnt a lot. I would love it if you did this again with the improved colour grading tools in 10.4.
Thanks Sean. You instruction is the best.
I keep coming back to this, thank you Sean!
I wanted to take a moment, having just found your channel and "binge watched :D" to thank you for your thoughtful and thought provoking videos. For me, your videos are inspirational in that they remind me to reconnect to the actual reason my spirit pursues any creative activity and draw my mind away from all the other processes (self-criticism, desire for praise etc etc) that creep in and influence my activities and results. I plan to watch ALL your videos and do hope you have the inclination to make more
Thanks mate:)
Very good video Sean. Very helpful. Thanks
Hey man, nice video. learned a bunch. I probably will not take it into Photoshop, but I liked the FCPX work, and I'll use that. Thanks again for teaching me something today.
Thank you so much for making this video. It's great and very easy to follow, with my limited experience with editing and colour grading.
