What aspect of color grading would you like to know more about? I’m looking for ideas for a future video on color grading, so please leave your suggestions in the comments below 😊👇🏼
@Scratchboardproductions3 жыл бұрын
Do you have any videos on color grading for creating shadows? Or anything on how to create moody horror looks in color grading?
@Brad_West3 жыл бұрын
I don’t have anything like that yet, but that’s a good idea for a future video. A quick way to create a moody look would be to do basic corrections (like exposure, white balance, etc) across all your clips and then apply a moody LUT to an adjustment layer that you can add across your entire edit. If you don’t want to use a LUT, you can still use an adjustment layer to create your own moody look using FCPX’s built in color plugins.

Oh wow 🤗, thank-you for this 🙏. What I especially love is that you took the time to show *every* step. So many FCPX tutorials just go way too fast, make too many assumptions, and leave out just enough of the crucial bits that it’s just too frustrating. This was 👌👌👌
@Brad_West3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate the feedback! I'm trying to find the balance between giving all the steps so that beginners can follow, but not making it too basic for some of the more experienced users. I'm glad you found it helpful 😊

@@Brad_West I think you nailed it 🤗👌. I’ve been using FCPX for 5 years, but I know I barely scratch the surface. If you cover something, even if you do it quickly I can still rewind/pause... so much better than if it’s just not there. (I know it’s not easy to get technical tutorials “right”, so again, thank-you 🙏)

Thank you for this quick and very easy to understand video. Actually I am on the search of finding a way to do this: change the colours of the dresses of a group of dancers for my next song video! The idea is this: have all of them wear the same coloured dresses for the group dance. In post edit, I want to change the colours of their dresses [all of the dancers to a different coloured dress]. The central reason for this proposal is cost cutting: to avoid the expenses of having them to dance in two or three costumes of different colours. Can this be done?
@Brad_West3 жыл бұрын
Yes you should be able to change the colors of the dresses. If you’re changing the dresses to different colors in the same shot you will probably need to do some masking to make it work. I would also recommend shooting a test clip with the dresses to make sure you can change the colors you want to change to. Hope that helps 😊
