Hi Premiere Gal, we are good students of your tutorial. Just one thing after getting skin tones, focus, good prime lens, good exposure, and shooting flat profile with beautiful color and grading.... we are wondering, Dear Gal, how to achieve an image hat looks like H.E.R in this example video? Any help please? Very clear, smooth, looks photoshopped... kind of video you know, See Smile kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqDWln5neZulq5I

[@JTColeVideo]

You have become my GO-TO for how to do things with Premier Pro as I continue to learn and grow my skills as I capture video and edit it into projects for our church's online worship services. Your tutorials are clear, expertly explained, and illustrated so well with your step-by-step examples. Thank you so much for helping my videos to look SO much better.

[@PremiereGal]

You're welcome John!

[@lekolega]

so refreshing to see a tutorial with someone who didn't overedit their video. it has become a lot more common to absolutely flood videos with too much while decreasing the content quality. thanks 😊

[@iangitongawanjiru9243]

Hie I Gal Iam a Cinematographer from Kenya africa the way you teach your tips made me change my career from being a teacher to what Iam today.i have been following each skill keenly that has up my game to a professional leve.l really appreciate your awesome tips that are easley understandable,surely you really made my career being enjoyable. †*****************************""""""""""" I totaly need that camera so as to be able to tell stories to generations hence giving back to the community and impacting careers . #Premier Gal to to Africa

2020 is the year I started my editing journey. I've been in the film industry for over 30 years when all of my work went completely away because of the pandemic.... I taught myself to edit that year which led me to more work than I know what to do with. My editing & filming are still a bit elementary, but I am committed to bringing my clients a better product. All of this is thanks to you and others who graciously share your knowledge & expertise. Your style is easy to follow and I can't thank you enough for sharing. I can't wait to learn more from You.

[@shameemabdullap.s3369]

Your videos like acting in a movie.. perfect explaination... ❤️ From India

[@SyedAdnanRabbani]

Most of the people don't use in camera settings nd trying to fix it in editing, that doesn't work seriously. great tutorial, love that.

[@alvins1979]

This was the clearest and easiest tutorial on grading yet and I’ve watched a lot. Well done.

[@mridupawandas8422]

after a bunch of searching videos i got the best video for skin tone correction.thnks☺️

[@thefaeryman]

very nice info, I have learned the hard way the importance, since I often use multiple cameras in single shootings, custom white balance all cameras. After all the lights are in position and on, I put a large white card near subject and zoom in to fill screen with white, then do custom white balance on each camera. it is nearly impossible to match all the cameras in post without this step. best to you all

[@BledsoeMedia]

You've done it again, Gal! You have explained and made it easy for me to understand how to match skin color with multiple cameras, thank you very much!

[@PremiereGal]

Bledsoe Railroad Videos awesome!

[@sdbratman]

Great vid Kelsey! I've watched almost a dozen of your tutorials in the last week or so and have learned at least one new thing in each of them! I didn't know what lumetri scopes was until this video and now I've got to do a deep dive to learn more! I was also today years old when I learned from you to shoot in Log mode, which if I understand correctly, is kind of like shooting RAW but for video! Great explanations all around! Cheers!

[@marwellmercado2223]

The way she teach all this stuff is so smooth that me personally having a hard time explaining it to my students lol. btw great content thanks for this and hoping for more content like this, More power! and Stay safe.. Love from PH

Thanks Kevin!

[@price412]

I'm so happy you revisited color grading you did in this video. Your past videos have helped me so much when I started color grading/fixing. I now realize I need to start using a LUT... Thanks!!

[@ogunseyinmagnus2578]

The scientific accuracy will be a life saver for me, thank you.

[@mstoops64]

Color correction has been a small obsession with me. Always trying to learn more about it. I’ve been using fast color corrector for adjusting the angle, but love the tip on using hue v hue to tighten the angle. Going to share with my team which will make me look really smart...but I’ll ultimately give you the credit. 😁 Thanks!

[@AbdulBasit-gd3ih]

I had always a white balance problem in shooting & Editing in premiere, But after watching this video I got the simple solution for my problem & not only this but many others. Thank you so much.

[@johnwyliejr347]

My picks for learning Premiere Tips is Gal and Photoshop is Unmesh Dinda. Both of you explain things very well , clearly and at a great pace. Keep on rocking !

[@kleigh498]

All your videos are very helpful! I've gotten superior color balance and skin tones thanks to this tutorial -- thanks!!!

[@CBQchuck]

C-log is a topic I haven’t seen covered before. Great tip, because you always want to have as much info as possible in the original video file to manipulate and tweak in post! 🤘🏻

[@PremiereGal]

For sure, you want to try and film your video in the best settings without log, but log will help you get the best image you need ;)

[@jamesporter5630]

Well along in my career, 15 years removed from the edit console, and I find myself back in the job market. Converting a career’s worth of visual knowledge into to the language and functionality of Premiere was intimidating until I found your channel. I enjoy for tutorials and the easy, relaxed way you explain activities. Thank you.

[@undiscipulodeCristo]

Another great and useful video! These days, when I'm searching for any Pr lessons in KZbin, I use a common keyword. My searches look like this: Color correction premiere gal Mask premiere gal Transitions premiere gal Sometimes, just 'premiere gal' Hope to apply the learnings on my own travel video footages rather than on the stock videos after getting the action camera 😅 *royalty free hopeful music plays in the background*

This is the best tutorial on color grading... Thank you a million times and more...

[@dudleyturner6056]

Thanks for all the pointers, Gal. Since I am using a 'point and shoot' Sony BionzX I appreciate all the post production tutorials for correcting and fine tuning the shots. Though most my work is for personal use, I am starting to help some non-profits with little projects and I am glad to get details on how to make it all better.

[@MarkAndrewAnderson]

I loved this tutorial and learned so much about skin grading! Excellent work, Kelsey!

I just came across your tutorials and I love the way you explain everything! I sincerely think girls are better teachers!

[@DougLarsonVideo]

you nailed it with this tutorial. Thanks again!!!!

[@tapaskhanijo2526]

Color Grading is one of the tricky task in Video Editing! But the way you explained about correcting the skin tones was commendable:) Looking forward to learn more from you✨ Cheers!

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

I really dug this video, Gal. I never thought it necessary to shoot log and do the color grading, but you've sold me on the idea. Now I just need a camera that shoots log. I see that you're using the Canon R and I've heard mixed reviews about it. Would love to get your take on it and what you might recommend. Thank you again for another helpful video!

[@PremiereGal]

Overall, the EOS R is a great camera. It does everything I need, it doesn’t have high frame rates like the Sony A7S series but if you like Canon color and the UI, it’s a solid one.

[@LaunchPadAstronomy]

@@PremiereGal Appreciate the feedback. My channel is almost exclusively in-studio talking head and I honestly couldn't imagine having to go to high frame rate. I'm not invested in Canon but I don't see a reason not to get one. Thanks for your response and great work!

Way too excited for this YAY!!! 😍also you look so fresh and GLOWING!! 😘❤❤

[@megapixelcroatia]

Great video like always, well explained ✔🚀

[@lls3529]

Gal, i love all your videos. I've learned so much. you've made me a much better editor. I'm not sure if you've addressed this before but i have a student who is color blind. He's a good editor but of course it's the one thing that will keep him from ever becoming a great editor. Do you have any advice for him. I'd love to see him really make something of himself once he gets out into the real world. Thanks again. You're awesome!

[@laural.714]

Thank you! I love your tutorials, the way you teach is clear, simple, fun and so great even for beginners like me! Laura

[@arthurnyoiks]

Hi Gal, I recently started using Premiere pro after over 10 years. I've been scared to try it again since I didn't know how far advanced it would be. And I did recently, edited a full project that was approved without too many changes, and immediately got interested in color correcting and grading. Guess whose channel I found first 😁. PS: As a motion graphic designer, I can attest to how great Envato elements come through for me.

[@usmanmajid7837]

Hey Kelsey, nice tutorial - very clear & detailed! I have a question though. While using the mask to isolate the skin is great for reading the scopes, wouldn't the colour adjustments made end up actually affecting the entire picture though, as we saw with your lips? In which case, would it not be better to use the colour picker tool in the HSL tab to physically select the skin only and therefore any further colour adjustments would only affect the skin?

[@oddocid9734]

I love your tutorials, thanks so much

[@robertdouble559]

Going from log to rec 709 I would typically use a utility LUT specific to the camera being used as there's often more happening when to going from log to 709 than just exposure levels, there are often color transforms too. But this grade still looks good anyway. Lot of ways to grill tofu I guess.

Thanks Kelsey for this skin tones tutorial. and I gather from it that I really need to take a custom white balance every time I record. Hopefully taking a custom white balance every time along with using the CINELIKE D profile will help to get good consistent color in my church's mixed lighting environment. (Unfortunately my camera doesn't have a Log profile).
