Teal and Orange Secret in Seconds (No LUTs)
This one color grading trick gets teal and orange in seconds (without LUTs):
www.colorgradi...
There is nothing quite like the beautiful color contrast that the teal and orange or orange & teal look creates.
Contrasting warm skin tones to a cool background focuses the audiences eye on the talent, which come on, is the primary focus.
Additionally it's kind of like a bottled up sunset or "magic hour" when the warm sunlight is illuminating everything directly and the sky is acting like a giant blue bounce card illuminating everything else that's in the shadows.
In this tutorial I reveal how to get this coveted look without using LUTs that can often times break an image and not give you the results you're looking for.
Other tutorials show how to do this but are too complicated and require too many steps making filmmakers feel overwhelmed.
Whether you're in Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro X I show you the easiest and fastest way to get the coveted look in just two steps.
It essentially works like this:
1) Isolate your skin tones and other similar tones then invert the selection
2) Push cool teal colors into the image with the offset/master control
Voila! Feast your eyes.
If you'd like to once and for all conquer the native built-in tools and discover how to elevate the look of your films so you can land more work then signup for our free one hour online workshop:

And if you're just dabbling in color grading and want something easier to use but still get the high end colorist look then check our plugin for the Mac that works in all three softwares:

Hey Chris, do you know how to invert the selection in premiere pro?
A quick tip for qualifiers! Instead of using the “denoise” function is recommend trying to increase the minimum saturation slider to be ~.2-.7. It does the same thing as reducing the noise but without blurring your overall qualification. Hope this helps someone :)
Been using FCP for 6 years and never noticed we could save applied effects to new presets... I've been using Motion 5 to do it but this is game changing, plus nice tips for teal & orange, thanks man !

Just want to say thanks very much for using African Americans with dark skin as example videos. Can't tell you how many video editing tuts and examples I've seen with fairly light complexions and how difficult it can be sometimes with dark skin tones, especially when so much color grading doesn't take that into account. I really appreciate it.

Really great tutorial, but I'm a little surprised you guys only presented the "desaturate the shadows with a luma vs sat curve" method as the final step. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can kinda take warmth out of the deep areas of the skin tones, since you're desaturating ALL of the colors in the shadows. It creates more of a grimy urban look that won't work for some projects. The alternative, in this case, is to use some sort of color wheel for shadows to push some orange back into the dark areas. You'll know it's balanced when the shadows read evenly on an RGB parade scope, instead of the blue channel being higher than the others. The difference is extremely visible, and it's really good to be able to go that route if it suits the project. Thank you for the video!
