She's very lucid, clear. What I particularly like is that she's not at all dogmatic, making the point that what works for someone is perfectly acceptable. Many tutorials seem to advocate narrow technical parameters for grading, dictated by the scores on the various scopes. She has the opposite approach; if it works for you, it's acceptable. She is descriptive of how fcpx grading works, not prescriptive.
you might be knowing me from your previous videos comments AND all I want to say that i got my very first Mac which is 14" MacBook Pro and I'm following all your videos for tutorial and getting through the Apple Motion and it's been a little tough at first getting used to all control and discovering all the features and your a saviour for me with these video so I wanna say THANK YOU! for providing all these videos to people like me over here!
So many TH-cam videos showing this stuff, but you have a knack at presenting it in an easier to understand way. You just explain things better. Keep it up and thanks!!!
In my opinion, the above is a recommended, clearly described and well-presented presentation covering the basics of color correction, so thank you for that, Jenn. As most are aware, color correction and grading can be daunting, and many different approaches have been described elsewhere. But your approach is clear, effective and easy to follow, and will work in many different situations, especially if the colours are not extremely and totally undesirable. I feel that it’s also important to note, that while scopes can eliminate much of the guess work, a trained eye helps as well. 😊Thanks again for many excellent presentations and for sharing your knowledge, Jenn.....frank PS: I often like to go to Windows >Workspaces > Color & Effects when correcting, but that is just a personal preference.
I am using TH-cam tutorials to learn how to use final cut. By far your teaching methods are the best I have seen and really work for me. As an example, you don’t seem to skip out steps, whereas quite a few others do, they assume too much or just trying to be cool…even maybe not sure themselves. Anyway, I’m going to be watching just your tutorials for now on. Keep up the good work. Steve
Jenn, I loved this video on Scopes because it helped me to see more refined ways of selectively color correcting. To date, I have only used the RGB parade and have keyframed changes as the shot panned from brighter to somewhat darker. The vector scope has intimidated me until I watched this video and how to use the mask to isolate skin tones. Thank you, thank you!
Jenn, Thanks for another great tutorial, really clear and concise. I don't suppose you have done or plan on doing one for underwater footage? Thank you.
Confession: The day they taught reading scopes in college, I completely zoned out. 😳 It was so boring! Then I got into the real world and realized that was a big mistake. I had to pull someone aside and ask for a "refresher".
This was a great video and it was something I’ve been looking for but couldn’t find. I’ve been trying to learn color grading for about a year now and never really grasped what the scopes were. This gave me a much more complete understanding and makes me excited to color grade later today. Again very well done.
Thank you so much for this Jenn - Probably one of the best videos I have seen on colour grading/correction ever - I love the skin tone section too as it really helped me - Of the two humming bird shots, I love them both by the way, as they are both colourful, however if I had to choose one I would say the one where you boosted the blue shadows a bit, I think that one is more cinematic and more balanced in terms of the way it looks. I sometimes tend to do the same with my shadows which is to slightly boost up the blue in shadows when I'm grading,
With respect, Devin, it may help the learning and memory process if you go through the presentation and make your own notes. But to assist you, here's a brief overview of Jenn's approach: a) Histogram set on Luma. Color Board > Exposure, and adjust values to go between 0 and 100. b) Waveform set on RGB Parade. Use Color Curves to adjust. c) Vectorscope: 1. Hue Saturation Curves > “Hue Vs Saturation” control line. Click control points to reduce any color that is overly saturated. 2. Add Color Wheels. In the Color Wheels 1 bar at the top, click the mask icon, choose Add Color Mask, and with the eye dropper click and drag and select the face/skin. Use Softness to highlight more of skin. In Midtones color wheel, select centre point and adjust until color is on skin tone line in Scope. Slight adjustments to other wheel’s centre points may or may not be necessary. Hope this helps.......frank
@@franke.lancaster8530 yessir I watched it before requesting a document. Some people do post links to said-documents and I was just inquiring if she had that. But thanks for your willingness and time.
You should start with the explanation of what a vectorscope or a histogram actually displays… also the all in rgb parade should be similar only applies because you are looking at a white gray silver dominated shot… film a fireengine and you would want the reds to be dominant in the red areas of course… Last not least why start explaining skintones with a colorful shot of hummingbirds ?! Not a fan of just correcting a face when clearly the whole frame is not properly whitebalanced… how about a hint regarding filming a color hart and using it to setup a basic colorcorretion ?

Possibly the best Scopes tutorial I have seen on TH-cam. Many thanks
Ha, thanks! This video does not get enough love IMO.
I really need to start fixing my colours a bit. Thanks for making it easy to follow.
I really appreciate you and thank you for making this video. All your tutorial are so so very helpful, thank you for making them.

Thanks for watching, friend!
Great video. short but sweet I feel like I learned more in your 15 minute clips than watching hours of other people stuff. Definitely subscribing !😊
I enjoyed your video Jenn! Learned so much in a few minutes. I can relate to your style of teaching. Thank you so very much!
I didn't know about the skin tone indicator, great tip!

You're very welcome!

Just want to say your are great to listen i like your Voice and its easy to usterstand you … great Chanel
thank You for sharing your experience in how to get much better results in FCP!!
My pleasure!
You’re the best editing coach on TH-cam !
I love the way you explain things
another fantastic video jen. super clear explanation that will now help me correct all of my log 2 footage.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
Great video! Thanks 😊 I might slow it down to see how you adjust the colors. It's fast for a beginner 😅 Still very very helpful!❤
Good video, Some of the other videos tell you what the scopes are but they don't tell you how to use them... duh..... Thank you!
Thanks Jenn. As always, your tutorials are very comprehensive and nicely organized. Very useful for beginners!
Excellent tutorial. Gbu 🙏👏
Very helpful, Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the valuable content. Love it.
Excellent thank You 🙏
Hi Jenn, just love it. It taught me so so much on the scopes. Will definitely keep referring to this video when I edit my videos.
Thanks for sharing.

Great explanation! Very easy to understand and follow! Thanks a lot Jenn!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank u, ur awesome
Very Helpful💯
reminds me of the old days lining up VTR machines with the color bars, great tips with the skin tone indicator

@@JennJagerPro if your teacher would teach like you do, I would have never zoned out 🙂

Butiful noise
how do you even find the Vectorscope?! you need to show these basics. I can't find it (ok, so it's : Window > Workspace > colour...)
Clearly explained at 1:41
