HOW I COLOR GRADE MY FOOTAGE IN PREMIERE PRO (Updated Video in Description)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

NEW VIDEO ON THIS TOPIC: • HOW I COLOR GRADE MY F...
So, Adobe Premiere Pro can be a bit of a pain for colorists and video editors, which is why I wanted to share my color grading process in this tutorial. I'll explain how I edit and color my footage step-by-step.
I am also aware this footage for the tutorial isn't great looking, I did not have my proper lighting setup. once I do-- I promise only good-looking footage. I am by no means a pro, but figured I'd share what I could with people.

DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a super formal or in-depth guide to color grading, Premiere Pro, or color theory. It's just my personal workflow and processes, so don't take it as professional advice or the only way to do things. Use it at your own discretion.
People have been asking me a lot lately about my coloring workflow, so I made this video to show you how I do things. I know Davinci Resolve is a better software for color grading, but I still use Premiere Pro for now.
I hope this tutorial helps you up your color grading game in Premiere Pro.

    quick question: when u render your videos from premiere, do your colors get washed out ? i noticed that with mac users premiere doesnt render exact colors from how it looks in premiere. i was wondering if you've found a way around that for your coloring to stay as accurate to in premiere as possible? btw this was a great video! will def be trying it out

    How about color grading a clip that has different scenes? Let's say you're panning with a drone in a circle. You start with the sun behind you and you end looking at the sun side. Color grading or should I say fixing the highs and lows would be different for each part of the clip, right? How do you do that?

  • @Trentorials

    @Trentorials

    7 ай бұрын

    Expose for the mid tone in that case. Without playing with the clip myself, it’s hard to say but I would definitely find a midtone and try to expose for that. But always try your best, in camera, to expose for the highlights if possible. Just don’t crush your shadows too much!

    The footage still needs to have some contrast otherwise it’s left feeling super flat. Unless of course, you want your footage to look flat, in which case, that will work.

  • @Trentorials

    @Trentorials

    2 ай бұрын

    You have to color correct the base footage with the source info, that’s why you shoot log, it contains the data needed. If you just color grade the adjustment layer it will not convey the footage to rec709. Both are vital steps. A color grade is different than color correction!

    That’s the lighting in the room and my camera quality at the time. Unfortunately no matter who color grades that, you can’t get rid of the noise in that shot. However, I would say this is an outdated video, and that is why I have remade it! Thanks for checking it out either way though!
