Very well done! One of the best guides to color correction I've ever seen. Thought I had seen a "hue vs. hue" option on the panel, but I guess not. Using secondary color correction probably gives more control anyways. By the looks of it, saving LUTs gives you the same baseline for future work as saving the plug-in chain as a filter package. The main difference is that the filter package allows you to edit the original color shifts, which may be helpful in some cases.

THANK YOU! There is HSL adjustments under the color curves tab, but it's all or nothing. I suspect it's a placeholder for a full secondary color corrector down the line, which would be great since it would likely export in the LUT

One of the Best and most understanding color grading tutorial I have ever seen, Thank you. Don't stop !

Using Vegas for years. Learning lots of new stuff from your toots. Thanks!

Wow! That was an amazing tutorial!!! Thank you. 🙏

You don't have to do every step all the time to "color grade" or "color correct." This is just an example workflow to show you the range of tools and options available to you in VEGAS Pro 18. (and 17). Let me know if you have any tips for everyone!

Hello Tech Dive AVCLUB, here is my question regarding 10-bit 4:2:2 footage: Do I have to tell Vegas Pro that the imported files are 10-bit footage, or does the programm recognizes it by itself? I watched many Color Correction and Grading tutorials, but no one ever mentioned how to handle 10-bit footage properly within Vegas Pro. We have three cameras here which are able to record in 10-bit colour depth (Panasonic HC-X2000, Dji Mavic Pro2, Gopro Hero11). For the drone we already have the D-Log M to rec.709 Input-Lut. For the other two cameras I couldn´t find any Input-Luts. I guess I have to do it by myself. Goal is, to colour match the 10-bit footage from these three cameras, before colour grading them. I´m just not really sure how Vegas Pro knows that I am using footage with 10-bit colour depth.

Thank you sir!

Thanks for watching!

You'd be better off with a higher quality card, especially for white balance. Good tutorial on color corrector secondary. I found setting the ranges tedious so I moved on to Graide Color Curves which has hue vs hue, hue vs sat, etc. and you can just use eyedroppers to select colors. AAV Color Lab is a nice free alternative.

Great instructional video, but one question about the color wheel display: how do you get that to dock below your timeline? I can either choose Pin (which then snaps it up near my preview, completely covering the timeline) or Unpin, which leaves it as a floating block. The command line (e.g., Play, Ripple, etc.) under my timeline can't be moved up, so I can't try to drag the color wheel window under it. Thx!

Try holding down control when you place it at the bottom

This is a great tutorial and it has helped me immensely. However, after getting my levels correct and then going to my color corrector (before using the secondary ones) the colors on the histogram were not lined up on the left side. This hasn't happened to me before. I've always had to put slight corrections on the right side and the left side always seemed to line up from the start. Am I doing something wrong and how might I correct it. Thanks again for all your great tutorials.

Great video man! Very informative and easy to understand. I have some question though. When you corrected the white balance on first clip and copy-pasted on the second clip, at 8.27 the waveform is lot above 100. Similar when you corected the colors on first clip and fixed saturations, all looked nice on vectorscope, but when you copy-pasted those attributes to the second clip, at 15.48 the vectorscope is bleading out. I'd like to know why is this happening? if the white balance and colors are all corect and the same camera was used, why is this happening on the second clip? Once again an awsome video! :)

That's a great question. Maybe the other shot has more reflective glints

Could be yes, so it means they were not really taken in the same conditions. That could explain it. Thank you! 👍

its an ok tutorial and guide if you have always the same setup and always a colorchart in every take to match it correctly on that other than that vegas pro is the horror for color grading. oh and forget that idea in 10 bit colormode, i get crashes and will not manage to export it that way.

Vegas works fine, it's the user that's the problem. If you follow the steps like this footage shot in daylight, under a certain light, etc. you can reuse settings. Otherwise I'd consider the Leeming LUT (technical correction LUT) that matches your camera. 32-bit video mode works fine for me. Make sure dynamic ram preview is set to 0MB or 200MB. Be sure you have enough ram, too.

Be sure you have enough ram, too.* 5950x Ryzen here. RTX 3080 Nvidia here. 64GB DDR4-3600 here. There is 0 issues with not having the performance. Vegas is just crap. It seriously cant handle even the informations about full or limited color range. Often enough i have to change it manually for no reason because vegas is to stupid to recognize what the source is. Sure it claims to be state of the Art, and you can set all kind of stuff in it up to HDR and specific formats of HDR, it has it all, but nothing is really good and performancewise its just crap 3 years ago it was ahead adobes perfomance, now it lacks. And the support at magix is just a insulting joke. Over 2 years ago i opened a ticket, that their claiming TC capability is pro grade, it does not work at all, and they still refuse to admit, even after showing them multiple time it does not work, that their software is just half good and their claims are sily. I am using vegas now for about 13 years and they pump it up with features but all this time their color corrections abilites have been mediocre at best.

hi can we make the color wheels move predictable with mouse. it is just so sensitive and i often cramp my hand to do so.. I love how the mouse react in resolve btw...

depends on what codec and size your editing

But everything you showed was not color grading right. It was color correction.

I showed you all the tools needed to color grade. You're right though, I would like to do a guide on using the Bezier mask tool in tandem with these tools to do a proper "color grade" but there's less science behind it and more art, so It will be a case by case problem. I'll only be able to show what color grading COULD look like. There's a lot of different approaches.

I have a problem in Vegas 16, the render is too slow
