This video showcases the best FCPX color correction I’ve ever seen. I love the flow of the explanations about what is going on in LOG and Rec.709, all the way through the tutorial of the working steps. Thank you!
Wow. I’ve seen lots of videos about this. Either too technical or trying to sell LUTS. This is by far the most useful I’ve found so far. Thank you! You have a new sub 😊
Rafael, This is the absolute best color correction for FCPX video I have ever seen! This was a God Send. Finally got my EOS R and wanted to take full advantage of the C-LOG, THANK YOU!
Dude, amazing! You made it look so simple. I’ve been fiddling around for quite some time. I wonder why your video didn’t show up in my searches before. Too much not-so-good content on TH-cam. Thank you.
for almost 16 months I had difficulties to learn how to do what u did in this video .. the TH-camrs this days really only showing off in their channels .. you just straight to the point .. thanx a lot bro .. really nice personality and teaching skills .. thumbs up 👍👍
OHHHHHH. YAAAAAAAAAAA, I learned more in that 17 mins than I ever have in the last 3 years. Thanks a mill Rafael, your a legend. Keep up the awesome work
This is an example of why the quality of content and the actual number of views can be inversely proportional. Very helpful! Going to go try this workflow right now. Keep up the great work.
best color correction tutorial for beginners. this is my first time seeing the cropping workflow to isolate the color. I'll try this in my next video project
I'm shocked 10 people disliked your video, this video is beautiful, well edited, useful, clear, to the point, and taught me things I didn't know was possible. Thanks a million times. Thanks for also providing us with the actual practical information you said you would and not having a click bait video. I'm definitely watching this video again and some of your others.
Wow, thank you for watching and the compliment! I am editing my follow up to this video for advanced colorgrading in FCP (Without plugins and with colorfinale). It should be out tomorrow.
This was the most approachable explanation of color correcting I’ve seen. Thank you for making this. I just tried it and my footage looks great already. You’re awesome
Thanks Gerald! Make sure you check out Part 2 of this video "Advanced Color Grading" It builds on the steps in this one. th-cam.com/video/VDYmwNiHO_k/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and the comment!
There is no better way to convey knowledge ! showing the same topic on different examples is ingenious, increasing the pace from image to image so that the workflow is memorized.
Thanks Diarmuid! Glad I split this up into 3 video FCPX, Premiere, and Resolve - otherwise it would have been a beast of a video at an hour long! Thanks for the comment!😀
Thank you so much Rafael, I've been creating videos on youtube for 3.5 years and now only starting to explore better quality footage. I use FCPX so this is extremely useful. Thanks a lot, dude!!! Subbed and gonna check out more. Stay saucy!
Man… I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I’m installing C Log 3 on my 6D Mark II to bring the quality of my content to another level and was really looking for a simple yet comprehensive tutorial on Clog editing and color grading. Thank you thank you thank you!
I am new to editing and was a little confused with color correction/grading. This video clarified many areas and gave me some great understanding to press forward. Thanks for the great video!
Second comment, lol... Well, I took the project I'm working on, which was a disaster as I have many things near skin tones in the background, and followed your video step by step and WOW 😳, I'm quitting the way I used to color grade and correct before FOREVER!!! Big thank you
Sorry have to comment a second time . Just now try some of those tipps, and it is unbelievable what a difference does it give when I do this steps before adding a Lut/Filmconvert. So much more details and it just looks more natural. Thanks man really
After making these three videos doing the same thing in Resolve, FCPX and Premiere- comparatively PR felt well behind in basic functionality, just felt clunky and dated. If you don't need much collaborative workflow or AE dynamic link, Resolve is really really good. FCPX is the best for quickest in and output for personal work.
Rafael Ludwig ya, i wasn’t so invested in Adobe, I’d think about transitioning. I’t will be interesting to see what happens with Final Cut Pro with the iPad Pro for quick easy turnarounds. The ipad is incredibly zippy even with. 4K files, more so than even my high powered iMac. I think there’s potential to integrate FCP into that workflow so i could start a project remotely on the ipad and then finish it on my iMac.
You can't imagine how much your video helped me. And also I can't understand how is that possible your video didn't hit 500k views already. Great job and examples. I will definitely use your tips. Thank you.
Clearest, information-richest guide I've seen yet to normalizing log footage. It's the Baby Bear version: not simple to the point of crudeness, and not complex to the point of wha? The use of scopes in particular suggests to me this is simplest approach a pro would take. Much appreciated, liked and subbed.
Ok, this was perfect timing. And thank you for that awesome and understandable definition of Rec 709 in the beginning and why we use LOG. I use FCPX and I shoot in Canon Clog2, and found this very helpful. As I continued to watch, I was got excited because Imlearning something new, and I looking forward to trying everything you are teaching.
Thanks! Using C300 MKII and Apple’s in built CLog3 Cinema Gamut REC709 is a dead match for the REC709 Proxi files which you can shoot at the same time with C300 MKII. Found in Resolve it was a nightmare to even get the footage to look accurate, as a starting point. Generally shoot how I want it to look so quick accurate conversion is lifesaver. Your way seems a lot easier than most I have seem! I miss FCP Studio from 2009. 😂
Hi! I've just started using Final Cut and your vids have really helped me set it all up so a big thank you for that. I like using the colour wheels for changing and enhancing my flat footage. Though I'm not sure how to add to all the film clips. So far doing each one which seems long winded! I'll get there. 🙂
You could use an adjustment layer, or create a compound clip and add the color correction to that one layer. You can get an adjustment layer in the description of this video: th-cam.com/video/6oetjz1adh8/w-d-xo.html
You're so welcome! I felt the same way with the recommended Technical LUTs - all just made the footage look terrible! Thanks for watching and the compliment James!
Thank you so much for this. It's crazy how well you explained it. I've tried to learn about this before and just had a hard time following along. But you made it so simple that I was finally able to learn how to properly do this. Thank you!
Thanks for this one! just started in making videos and I switched from Pinnacle Studio to FCPX one month ago, I edited one music video with pinnacle and the color work was horrible XD. Now with Final Cut it looks pretty simple and effective.
Thank you! It was very usefull and really helped me in editing my videos. I used to work with the greenscreen but now I moved to the studio, so i had to adjust all the settings. I watched a lot of tutorials, but somehow your video had the best "what where why" ansvers to my questions. Great job!
Damn, clear and concise and no need for the extras. An excellent place to start. Thanks. I have not been shooting log but I will use the techniques for what I have and I'll start shooting in log.
brilliant video! thanks so much. Perhaps in the future you could make a color grading video for the most challenging light situations. I'm thinking very dark (night) or very bright scenes. I've been shooting wildlife either very early morning or late at night and found the whole c-log exposure a challenge in the first place. Again thanks for the work you've put in this video.
Ok, excellent information. As a stills photographer I was used to programs that would create a profile from the color card. This is very helpful. Getting the number right on the histograms is important, but it is critical to have a calibrated monitor for those subtle changes you mentioned. Thanks for the info.
That’s great to hear! When you are ready, Make sure you check out the part 2 to this video, advanced color grading, it builds on this video th-cam.com/video/VDYmwNiHO_k/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching and the comment Chris!
Excellent tutorial, Rafael. Very helpful. Have you created a video on the correct settings for C-log and S-log prior to starting colour correction. The Final Cut Pro manual isn't at all clear. Apple tech support recommended setting the Library to Wide Gamut, the Project to Rec 2020, the Clip to the camera lut, the colour space override to Rec 2020 and toggle "Show HDR as tone mapped" on in the view drop down menu. Any pointers on settings would be much appreciated.
Very interesting, man! I’ve never done it like this, so I gotta try. However, I wanna get that look you obtained in the other video I watched. Here to stay man! thanks a lot 🙏
I just pushed the orange and teal a bit further in that other video, but it's the same process with more Saturation of the colours. I tweak video to video but it's mostly the same. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
One of the best Color Grading for Final Cut that I have seen recently.
