Basically everything I know about shooting video has been learned via TH-cam, but with no exaggeration this was hands down the most helpful tutorial I've watched to date. Color grading has had me banging my head against the wall so often it had me questioning whether or not I was cut out for this. This video was a game changer, thank you for this!!
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen, and for someone who's only about 9 months in to lightly babbling with correction and looking to become better at it, this is soooo helpful.
Wow! Nobody on TH-cam that I've seen has done that 3 adjustment layer color grading approach. It's definitely my favorite approach by far! It helps organize things and clear them up so much! Thank you!!!
This is honestly the best no-nonsense tutorial on colour grading i've seen. I didn't know there was a rec 709 LUT direct from Sony and you've shown me a few tips with the masking! thank you so much!
I never knew about the adjustment layer until I watch the video. Usually I use LUTS on each individual footage as primary color correction. Thank you for the useful tip!
This is a really great tutorial! Most of the tutorials about colour grading these days are just people using their own luts so that they can self-advertise, so this was really refreshing :)
This was an incredible video. It answered so many questions I wasn't getting answers to after watching countless other color grading videos. Thanks! Subscribed!
Super helpful tutorial, Becki! I liked the idea colour correction in adjustment layers. I always applied it to individual clips and copied/pasted them over to similar clips. That tip alone's a massive time saver.
So interesting to watch someone else colour grade! I had no idea on the masking HSL secondary - going to try it out on my next project! Thanks for all the tips, looking forward to your LOG tutorial :D
Recently learned that it is possible to add lumetri color before even placing the material on the timeline. Pretty great if you have a pretty complex project, especially multicam
Well... This was just plain ol' fantastic!! 👍😊 So helpful and so interesting. It's fascinating to see the different ways people color grade. Thanks for this!!
I don't know if you guys are doing something different in this video compared to past videos, but DAMN, this looks so sharp. Not that you previous stuff has looked soft but something about this video looks waaaayyyyyy crispier. Keep killing it!
Adopting the trick of using the 3 adjustment layers. Always struggled with the primary corrections on multiple clips this simplifies it so much and it's such a great little trick.
We are just getting into content creation and using Premiere Pro. This video is very helpful to understand the process you use and improvement to our workflow. There is so much we have to learn. Your videos are really helpful.
Awesome video Becki!! Super glad I found our channel! I'm trying to teach myself how to edit to help my wife out, so I have a feeling I'll spend a stupid amount of time on this channel. I'd love to see a more in depth video on the Lumetir Color Scope!! That sounds super interesting! Thanks!
Great tutorial and I liked the pace as well, I know it might be a little too fast for people who are totally new but I appreciate all the information packed into a short amount of time.
This was super awesome and helpful!! Thank you!! And I literally busted a gut at the end with the little bloopers.. Thanks for that.. everyone at the coffee shop is looking at me like im a realllllll winner now..
I love the separation of 3 adjustment layers. My sorry behind was always adjusting the clips after adding utility luts lol. time to giddy up and create 3 layers. w00t w00t
not to be a jerk, but I think this video would be a bit more helpful if you simply stayed on the Premiere Pro screen when you explained instead of continuously cutting back to your self for the explanation. I am trying to get a handle of what you are doing in Premiere but every time I am just about to you cut back to yourself and I need to go back and pause the video to figure out what you are doing on your premiere pro screen. Just an opinion! Thanks for the content though, it was a great and informative vid!
I agree although the information is VERY HELPFUL I watch and learn from various editors and this was one of the more complicated to understand for this exact reason. Also, the speed of how people talk about what they are experts on should slow down just a little bit for your teaching those who are not experts. Still a very good video and im glad you made it I liked and subscribed. :)
CAN I JUST SAY: im proud that im seeing women doing this line of work and showing the world that they actually do exist cause i only see female photographers but i think this is the first time i see a filmmaker working on color and stuff, and It Was Strange at first
To my understanding the changes to the skin tones is called secondary color correction, while the overall look is called color grading (and not secondary correction) primaries: big strokes of correcting and matching footage, secondaries: small strokes focusing on details, grading: giving a final look. anyway just nitpicking terminology - the important take away is to have a consistent and solid workflow like this... great video!
This color grading video is the best so far on entire youtube. It's almost perfect! I've been instructed about the approach to color correct and grade in davinci. My friend been on a expensive course and he been trained by pro who color grade for TV. You are doing similar to this "PRO" way. Congrats!
@@SteveoStories It is a lut she got from Sony I believe. It basically puts log footage back to somewhat normal looking footage. Then tweaks from there. Not wanting to speak for her, but if you google Sony log to rec 709 lut that should help you out.
Very informative. I subscribed just on the fact that I learned more from this one video than any other instructional video I watched on this topic so far. Nice work 👍🏽
This is great. I'm an Premiere user but have been grading in Resolve lately. I like to edit in Premiere as so knowing your grading workflow works well for me to stay within Premiere.
What about when you export it and upload to YT and the colors are desaturated and washed out? Anyone found a way to keep your colors the same going to youtube?
Yupp..this was so helpful..i am always confused colouring my videos..colours helps creating the mood and that cinematic look of the video..i am still trying to do this properly.
This is awesome great Tutorial, Though I would make a small note for those who shoot SLOG, if you want to take full advantage of SLOG, do not apply the conversion LUT on the 1st adjustment layer, that defeats the whole purpose of SLOG. Use the conversion LUT on the second adjustment layer. So when you do a color correction, you are affecting LOG information and not the converted REC709. Anyways great work, I can see how much effort went to making this video.
I liked the video without even seeing it for 10 seconds!! [Laughing out loud in Spanish] This is the video we all were waiting for, so for that, thank you! 🙏🏼 [Puts palms together in reverence]
Actually a good tutorial on color grading. What I would have done different: Show the lumetri scopes and histogram while editing, so the viewer can relate on what you actually check, instead of saying "I do this while looking at the lumetri scopes" I do the primary color correction directly on the clip so I don't have to chop the adjustment layer up. Also I would have changed the skintone on the 2nd color correction so you can control it directly versus guessing what it will look like with the 2nd cc on it. Last but not least I think beginners would have liked to see how you change specific colors, even though you liked the scene as it was. Please notice that I'm trying to be constructive and in no way negative about your great work haha Nice tutorial for beginners!
I have watched your video about Histograms and it truly was amazing to see such a complex topic wrapped in such a simple and logical package of information. The ability of explaining technical complex subjects in a way everyone understand is a true gift and I hope you guys proceed to do videos similar like Histogram or colourgrading. In this video you scratched the topic of identifying if your image is balanced in colour. I would love to see a video that explains what it means that a video colour is "clipped" and how to exactly determine which colour and how much. I have huge problems to find a "natural" colour balance and often end up pushing around sliders forever till one video is balanced...but then often still there are differences between one video and the next. Is there a way to scientific get everything to a natural balanced colour for each and every clip regardless the light and WB settings? Thanks guys. 😊
Wow! I was blown out of the water. Way over my head but I enjoyed the video. Good job in repurposing some video clips. I do miss the millennium falcon.
I've been watching your videos off and on for a while. I'm impressed with how good you've gotten on camera. Bravo. I also love seeing video tech tutorials by women. I'm excited to see what you do next!
These people are more professional than half the TH-cam channels available. They are very professional. Their way of teaching is really great too

This is honestly the best no-nonsense tutorial on colour grading i've seen. I didn't know there was a rec 709 LUT direct from Sony and you've shown me a few tips with the masking! thank you so much!
Wow! I would love an in-depth course... this vid is sooo much better than what I’ve seen so far on YT on grading LOG footage... very practical
Just a newbie here with, struggling learning Premiere and color grading, and now his jaw dropped to the floor. Thanks for sharing!
I never knew about the adjustment layer until I watch the video. Usually I use LUTS on each individual footage as primary color correction. Thank you for the useful tip!

Thank you times a million. I have watched many tutorials and your video is the first time I actually have a grasp of what I should be doing.
This is the first colour grading tutorials i ever seen, deeply explanations thanks for this
Thanks for your video. Its very great. Please tell me your Luts color that you used in this video!!!
This was an incredible video. It answered so many questions I wasn't getting answers to after watching countless other color grading videos. Thanks! Subscribed!
I love your work ...I am barely starting to shoot music videos and now am editing and color correcting..your videos help alot. thank you
Super helpful tutorial, Becki! I liked the idea colour correction in adjustment layers. I always applied it to individual clips and copied/pasted them over to similar clips. That tip alone's a massive time saver.
Wow that was a lot to digest. I need to watch this about 30 more times. Thank you for sharing.

a year late but by far the most helpful color correction video Ive seen
Great breakdown! Loved how you were able to take many complex topics and distill it to a 16 minute video
Coming from Resolve for color grading but now I m using ProRes raw still impossible to use with, your tutorial is particularly appreciated.
Separate adjustment layers is a brilliant tip. Thank you!
We are just getting into content creation and using Premiere Pro. This video is very helpful to understand the process you use and improvement to our workflow. There is so much we have to learn. Your videos are really helpful.
The best color grading on youtube 👏👏 thank you so much
Not even close

The bomb setup and whole process.. I really loved it. I never use adjustment layers and this looks so much easier. Thank you. Learned a lot.

Finally the video iv been waiting for! Thanks!!
I love the separation of 3 adjustment layers. My sorry behind was always adjusting the clips after adding utility luts lol. time to giddy up and create 3 layers. w00t w00t

I love your color grades. This tutorial did not disappoint. Thank you!
3:09 "log to rec. 709 adjustment"... totally lost there, where or how do I do this?
I guess my question is more towards "how did you do it? where did you click to do it?"

Two fantastic back-to-back videos on color grading! Thanks guys!
this is one of the best color grading videos i have seen!! love the technique of the 3 layers!! im gonna applied it!!
You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing all your tips, tricks, and knowledge!
Very informative. I subscribed just on the fact that I learned more from this one video than any other instructional video I watched on this topic so far. Nice work 👍🏽
Awesome, thanks guys! Did you make that separate video on how to shoot and edit log?
Thanks, best color grading tutorial I've seen so far. Doesn't totally hold your hand, and gets into the details of most of the functions!
This has been my favorite episode. Well done and thank you!
How do you get your videos to look sooo clean and sharp. What are you export-setting???
This is great. I'm an Premiere user but have been grading in Resolve lately. I like to edit in Premiere as so knowing your grading workflow works well for me to stay within Premiere.
Thanks! And please do a scopes tutorial! I have no idea what those are/do.
Well, now I do a little bit since I finished watching this video. Ha!
good to know that i'm not the only one who's intrigue on how you color your videos. thanks so much for this.
You are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to share your process! I've learned so much since I found your channel. Can't wait to the next tutorial!
Rodney Sanchez glad to hear that! Thanks!
so funny woman...other people put me to sleep you makes me laugh while i'm enjoying the ride..bravo.
Hope the Lumetri Video is coming out soon, this is so helpful.
I love the idea of multiple correction layers
I'm new and this helped me understand it a bit more. My next videos will be a bit better :) Thank you so much!
Fri-day! I just ate french fries… Have a good weekend! 🍟
H. H. I ship some over!
I am having some carrots, what some?
H. H. Hahaha coming in with the only question that matters!
@H.H 3 feet only so I guess not
Where did you guys get the Sony Lut rec. 709?
How did I just discover this channel....... SUBSCRIBED
OMG, the absolute best colour tutorial I have watched, thank you - answered months of questions :)
The skin tone edit just helped me so much.
What about when you export it and upload to YT and the colors are desaturated and washed out? Anyone found a way to keep your colors the same going to youtube?
Thanks for this! I've been doing a super basic version of this for my videos, definitely learned a lot of new things I'm excited to try out.

Cool video! I'm in Buffalo,NY!
OMG, a PP tutorial that isn't super annoying, with a massively delayed intro to the good stuff with a person that talks way too slow. Subscribed.
Loved the video-request for the scopes to stay up the whole time 😬😎
Awesome video and tutorial you guys. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪

It's the first question I needed answering when I found this video.
google wouldve been faster to answer that
she explains it so well... i can see where her beauty is coming from..but nice work..
Great video! Really cool to see all the settings used in action!
So close to 100k now 😀
Well deserved! I wonder if there a surprise party with Chris, Peter and Lizzie on the horizon
Love your workflow and aesthetic!!! Amazing!!

Thank you, Becki. It is a very helpful clip. I always appreciate you and Chris efforts to create very helpful clips. Two thumbs up !!!
You should try shooting in HLG on the A7III. I find it easier to grade than slog without losing too much DR
Wow! I was blown out of the water. Way over my head but I enjoyed the video.
Good job in repurposing some video clips.

Actually super stoked to watch this rn, color grading is something i've always pushed away but def adds so much value
