ABOUT TUTORIAL
A lot of people hate on Premiere Pro's color grading tools, but when you know how to properly stack effects, it actually works quite well! And while there is certainly room for improvement, for now, I hope this video helps you elevate your color grades, and paint your video! You'll wallk away knowing how to use multiple Lumetri Color Effects, Masking, Curves, Scopes, some plugins, and HSL secondary.

Hey! Reminder that if you want more basics on how the scopes work or starting from Log footage format you can watch my other beginners guide to color grading: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKraZGmjdp15h9U ❤🎉

[@Nugromant]

Your plugin is the best thing that has ever happened hahaha, tried many others, but they don't have that attention to detail, thank you, keep developing awesome stuff

[@PremiereGal]

That's so great!

[@MarcelloScotti]

great tutorial, thx!!

[@usmanmajid7837]

Really useful! Something (unrelated) I don’t quite understand is how changing the order of the lumetri effect stack in the Effect Control panel can completely change the image and how they’re applied. I sometimes move my top most lumetri effect where I do my intitial corrections to the bottom of the stack so I can edit it, and I noticed the whole image changes. It’d be great to understand how the order of effects in the panel affects the overall image.

[@PremiereGal]

You want the base to be at the top.

[@usmanmajid7837]

@@PremiereGal Thank you! Yes I do this, however it'd be great to understand the technicalities of why the changes occur when you move them around. Is this something you've done a video on yet or can do in the future? Thanks :)

[@sephimageryvfx]

I’ll definitely try it

[@PremiereGal]

awesome! 🎉

[@AnthonyD42]

Super great video! I didn't realize you did all that for your videos but it does look so much better. I do this kind of stuff in my still photography because Lightroom makes the mask selection so easy. I hope some of that AI makes it to Premiere.

[@glhfmagic]

Can you link to the Gamma Compensation LUT please? Thank you! :D

[@PremiereGal]

Hey! It's linked in my description :)

[@luminari_productions]

I love colorista I think it's the best but I'm on an older version that I had a lifetime license for. I would like to update to fix some bugs but it is insanely expensive.

[@KarthikRaghavarapu]

My footage went from 'meh' to 'Hollywood star in the making'! If my editing skills keep improving like this, I might need to hire a personal assistant to handle all my future Oscar invites 🌟🎬😂

[@MrBeso93]

Hi How can I get it ?

[@KeithDadey]

Some great tips here Kelsey! I do wonder why not do these adjustments directly on the clip instead of adjustment layers. Is there an advantage doing it to adjustment layers?

[@PremiereGal]

You can do it on a clip, for our editing team, I save it on an adustment layer so I save it as a template project and I can copy and paste the template on my talking head for each project. Plus I might have many clips, and the adjustment layer can be played on all clips, then we nest it as 1 clip 😊

[@kustomkool]

Can you use that many Lumetri instances without dragging down performance to a crawl?

[@PremiereGal]

Yes thats why I check off the different sections of lumetri I dont use, like if I only use curves turn off hsl, creative etc

[@chrisataricool]

When are we going to get Premiere Pro on iPad Pro?

[@PremiereGal]

That's a good question! I'll need to look into it, I was looking into getting something lighter and smaller to take home with me but it looks like the new iPad Pro is huge haha.

[@chrisataricool]

@@PremiereGal I’m getting the 13-inch model. Surely they have enough muscle to handle Premiere Pro especially with the M4 chip.

[@andriegilsson6623]

This channel is so good. Love your content! Plugin looks great, will check it out. I think the grading in this video is a bit over done though, compared to the example video, which looks great. Your skin looks too smooth and kind of greyish, then your lips are a bit too red in the center and greyish on the edges. Also, whites in your eyes are too white.

[@toms2145]

Was it SP, LP, and SLP? Am I remembering that correctly? I feel old.

[@thegeezer6]

Loved this but be great to see help without having to purchase this plugin that I can't afford.

[@PremiereGal]

You can, I just find the guided correction to be so much easier, sometimes when I'm correcting the BASE I feel like I'm going in blind, you can convert your footage to B&W and use lumetri color panel, but as I said, it just saves us more time and since we use it in every video the cost starts to justify it. But if you don't use it often, I understand how it may be hard. But remember, the rest is all Lumetri! So I hope you took away some tips as part of the built in workflow too!

[@thegeezer6]

I certainly did thank you. You are amazing 🎉 really appreciate your helpful advice and entertaining delivery

[@patrikstoor]

yeah i need to start with the basic color grading video first 😂

[@tubaraomartelo7838]

Hi Gal, 👍👍👍👍👍

[@thehiddentiger2199]

Cool shirt 🪐 🌏

[@PremiereGal]

I like space :)

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Gotta be honest. I don't love lamp.

[@PremiereGal]

😂

[@mehboobsabir4692]

Hi Gal I learn so many thing from your videos❣ and I follow you from last two years. Now its not easy to learn from your videos because its all about paid promotion and paid plugin .Now its seem like its a promotional video. I am sorry to say that😓.

[@PremiereGal]

Hey mehboob just the first part bc it is the tool we use, it's not all about the plugin, you can see most of the video is about adding specific effects about Lumetri. The truth is that me and my team use these tools to make better color or else I wouldn't show them, we use them in every video and it helps us greatly, I do offer work arounds and note that cosmo is optional and i really do want to share the best workflows!

[@WyneCaderma]

Maybe this video is not for you 😅

[@RealtrendsHyderabad]

Watching from India medam How are you ma'am

[@PremiereGal]

Thank you and hello!! :-) 🎉
