There's so many color correcting tutorials out there but they all seem so overwhelming and complicated. The way you explain it simply makes it comprehendible and easy to understand. Especially for beginners! Thank you for this tutorial Lila!
This is so good. I upgraded my camera and lense (based on videos on your channel), filmed a test video in SLOG3 (first time) and colour corrected. My next video on the main channel will finally not look like I filmed it with a potato 🥲 Thank you for this extremely helpful channel
Just went though the correction and "cinematic" grading process by Lila. My video looks so pro it's blowing my mind. Can't believe I did that. Thank you so much Lila!
Such a great video in explaining colour correcting in such a simple manner that makes it easy to understand. The introduction of how to open up the panels to see the correct colour workspace is immensely helpful! Thank you Lila!
I’ve watched 20+ white balance and color correcting/grading tutorials for Premiere Pro in the last 2 weeks and all of them pull up RGB Parade or various vector scopes and the histogram, but none of them explain what “ideal” is or what we are even looking to make the scopes/histogram look like. They just arbitrarily adjust with their eyes on what “looks good” and note that curves move but don’t explain what they’re looking at in the curves and scopes and such. Thank you for breaking this down better!
All of my work, while only on a hobbyist level, is on a fairly new gaming laptop. Really wish there was a way to legitimately calibrate the monitor on it without having to go out and buy an external monitor. That notwithstanding, I've been looking for ways to improve the visuals in old VHS and DVD bootlegs of things that are no longer available (or never were in the US) for my own personal viewing, and look forward to trying your methods on my next project to see just how much I can improve some seriously dark and washed out footage. Great video!
Thank you for simplifying the color correct process. I still struggle trying to get the greens just right on my videos but practice will help me improve. Your LUTS have also helped me a ton. 🙌🙌
Nuts that I got back into color correcting and your video pops right up. I learned from your older video on this subject, and nothing like a refresher, thanks!
I have seen your many videos and I like your teaching method, it is so easy to learn, moreover I also appreciate you for replying each and every viewer in comment section. Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
I have a lengthy video where I need to cut between a Ninja V camera and three GoPro cameras. The GoPros are all very similar in color & brightness, but the Ninja V is obviously higher quality/depth. What is the best way to match the Ninja V's color balance with lesser cameras to make everything look consistent? Do I just need to make the Ninja look not as good?
Hello. My ASUS (PA248CNV) monitor has a brightness set to 50; do you suggest I turn it up to 100 with these buttons below the monitor? Dunno what settings are mandatory to nail the colour grade
Honestly - I learned some valuable info from you. Look, I already made a number of videos and somehow color corrected them. But not the way you showed me. I'll take a note of your tutorial. I didn't even know some buttons in Pemiere Pro existed. I like your attitude. 😊
hey lila quick one......im struggling with my sony a7iii color grade , please can you do another one for color grading for black skin texture especially for us in Africa . Please.
I followed you up until the 1:44 mark where you adjust the saturation. I adjusted mine and the preview window and the scope does nothing. If I play the video I can see the waveforms moving in both boxes, what am I missing?
@@lilafromyoutube After I posted this I was talking to a friend and he mentioned the global FX mute button. I never used it and noticed it was not in my preview window. I added it and turned it off and its working now. This is strange because I have reinstalled premiere several times, reset the workspaces etc.
Either are fine. I usually colour correct on the clip itself and use an adjustment layer for colour grading. But if you have multiple clips that need the same colour correction, an adjustment layer would make it easier
HELLO LILA! Seems that you are the only TH-camr that actually Replies to your Subscribers so let me post a Question to you! 'Prior to installing Adobe Premiere 2022 back in August, I was previously using Adobe Premiere Pro1.5 on my newly built PC! Now I have an internal 256gb SSD Card along with swapping out my old 200gb HHD's with 1tb SSD's! I am constantly running desperately low in space in my C Drive (Win 10 OS & Programs x86 only on a separate partition, no Video files!) and wanted to know besides all of the Clearing media Cache Procedures should I uninstall the older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 from 20 years ago?
@@lilafromyoutube EXCELLENT QUESTION! Because I have owned all of the older software and discs for so many years and know how they operate! I needed to install them on the new system in order to judge how fast certain things would happen, for instance to Preview 2 hours of video at once, render an export to MP4 for streaming and MP2 to burn discs in addition to other various tests! That was then, this is now I have Premiere 2022 and in posting my question once again, do you think it would interfere with Creative Cloud updating? Should? I remove it to add some extra space on my SSD? Or is this a question better off left for the Adobe Engineers? Just trying to get to the point here! P.S. Thanks for your prompt reply!
I’d always suggest talking to adobe directly when it comes to this stuff. I don’t think the 20 year old version is supported on your windows 11 so there is no point to keep it on your computer unless you build a virtual machine with windows 98 or vista something. I don’t think it should interfere with CC but I also don’t think it helps with your workflow in any way.
@@lilafromyoutube HEY LILA! UPDATE! After uninstalling my beloved Adobe Premier Pro 1.5, (which indeed also works on a 64bit system, (my older Premier 6.0 only worked on my Virtual XP system) I used Adobe Premier 2022 Media Cache deletions along with all the Win 10 manual deletion methoids and gained only a few Gb's! Then I realized that I still had about a dozen finished Projects in an Auto-Save Folder and once I deleted those I regained half of my SSD space back!! What is your opinion of using my external SSD in my General and Scratch Disks space versus my SSD C?
Thank you so much for your video, Lila. My only comment is the video you used to correct didn't need much correction. It would be nice to have a video that needs a little more correction so we can see how you correct a less exposed or over-exposed video. Again thank you for explaining the basics.
I watched the video and I still don't know how to color like a pro. I already knew that screen, but I expected to understand what the optimal parameters for a given scene. I think with this video, people are just left with sliders to slide randomly. Or maybe I missed the point ... :D
I think watching it again would be a good idea. Like I said in the video, I can’t give the perfect parameters for every single scene, but I gave you all the tools to identify what they are for your specific scene.
I’m sorry you feel that way. The vectorscope and waveform are sufficient to do a professional colour correction. I use it all the time and am hired to do this work for others too :) If you want to learn way more in depth, I recommend you to check out TH-cam channels run by colourists like waqas qazi. Good luck!
Once again Adobe is hiding all of these controls that you have just showed me. I'm using Premier 23.5 and opening the Color and Lumetri color there are no Temperature or Tint sliders but most important to me right now there are no Lighting controls. I need to correct the highlights but can't find those controls. The Lumetri scopes only shows color, there is no vector scope and right clicking does not have the Waveform option. I really hope you check your comments and questions and respond soon since I'm on a bit of a timeline.
LILA! Hi! need some help :( how do you export in premier so that it preserves the color attributes? because I exported but what I see in premier does not resemble the exported file :( help
I wouldn’t recommend doing this because every clip is different, so you can’t simply drag and drop one color correction to different clips. If you still want to do this, right click on the lumetri effect in the effect controls panel and click on “save preset”
Nick Nimmin sent me!! And had to sub! Love this tutorial and I’m going to watch more. Thank you for sharing and making great videos. I am such a noob and use iMovie…I have this as part of my Adobe bundle. I really want to learn the program more and make better videos.
great video, but in what location/folder do you put the source conversion luts (ex: slog3) and creative luts (.cube), especially when editing on an external SSD. I just started using an external SSD and now when I color grade my luts keep disappearing. There is a red and white checkerboard that shows up in place of the footage. Something is wrong with the links. Premiere can't find the luts I'm pretty sure. Any experience with this?
Hi Lila Nice video :) at 7:50 in the video you chek the" basic Correction" to see the diffrents before and after color correct.But is there a easy way to split the screen in 50/50 and at the same time color correct one af the 50% screen and se the different at the same time ? br Per from Denmark

I’m so happy to hear that, that’s exactly what I wanted to accomplish
Of course Lila tutorials are always understandable which I've learnt a lot from. She's great
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I completely agree
She still didn't explain the blacks and whites do,
I was hoping for one of these color correcting tutorials with the new Premiere update, always a great learning experience on your channel
Haha there’s been a big makeover so I’m planning to redo some older vids and update them with current info
This is so good. I upgraded my camera and lense (based on videos on your channel), filmed a test video in SLOG3 (first time) and colour corrected. My next video on the main channel will finally not look like I filmed it with a potato 🥲 Thank you for this extremely helpful channel
I love how you make the complex so understandable. Thanks for being such a great teacher, Lila!
Thank you, reading this makes me very happy 🙏🏻
can you explain in more details please?
Just went though the correction and "cinematic" grading process by Lila. My video looks so pro it's blowing my mind. Can't believe I did that. Thank you so much Lila!
Just watched a few videos on youtube about colour correcting, and your video is the most understandable.
Happy to hear my video cleared things up 😊 it can be a difficult topic to understand
Thanks for the remainder about the monitor. I just bought a new one and completely forgot to change the settings!
Such a great video in explaining colour correcting in such a simple manner that makes it easy to understand. The introduction of how to open up the panels to see the correct colour workspace is immensely helpful! Thank you Lila!
I have been intimidated by color correction forever. This video made it so straightforward!!! My videos look so much better now!
This makes me so happy!!

Great video. What kind of Brightness/Contrast settings do you use on your monitor?
I don't see the vector scope on my workspace. How do I make that visible?
very informative for people who started using the program yesterday. :) Thank you very much!

Hi lila great vid, just wanted to ask when you say full brightness do you mind I need to set my brightness to 100%?
of the monitor, yes!
are you suggesting to set the monitor at its full brightness?

@funKdatFPV oh wow! Haha I’m glad you worked it out. I wonder how you activated it if it wasn’t in your tool bar 😅
@@lilafromyoutube Thats just it, I never did! Its also odd that even with a clean install it was still activated.
@funKdatFPV yeah super weird!! So glad you got it sorted though!
i always use adjustment layer to apply my color grading, to not color grading in video footage itself
Btw thanks for the video
Which one is correct? Collor correcting directly on your footage or on a layer adjustment layer
Either are fine. I usually colour correct on the clip itself and use an adjustment layer for colour grading. But if you have multiple clips that need the same colour correction, an adjustment layer would make it easier
What screen share software are you using to share your screen and yourself in a small circle display
