lmaoooo🤣

[@sierralisse8897]

I've been looking at so many tutorials and couldn't wrap my head around colour correction and colour grading (you cleared that up for me in your video too!) and now I get it. You're an exceptional teacher and it's criminal that you don't have more subscribers. I'm so glad I found you. Subscribed for sure!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hey Sierra, thanks so much! I really appreciate that 😊 if there's anything I can help you with related to colour orienting and grading, please let me know! I'm happy to help 😁

[@keithvallotphotography8273]

Hey Lila! Just wanted to take a minute to say "Thank You". Just found your channel today. Already... you've saved me "hours of time" trying to learn a few things from other sources. Love that you keep these lesson around 15 minutes!!! Great job!!! Thanks again!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this. I appreciate it! So nice to meet you, Keith!

[@laurenenxx]

You're amazing! Super informative and explained everything so clearly in under 10 mins. Seriously helping a beginner out! Subbed :)

[@lilafromyoutube]

So happy to read that Lauren! And nice to meet you 😊

[@thebradcolbow]

Great stuff, I don't understand any of this stuff, your tutorials have really helped.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Wow, thanks Brad! That's an amazing compliment, I appreciate it. Feel free to drop a comment at any time if you have any questions about editing or filmmaking in general, that's why I'm here!

[@MetalForBreakfast]

Finally making myself learn proper color correction!! Thanks for the vid Lila! 🤘😁

[@lilafromyoutube]

you go girl!!!

[@ModernManang]

So glad I found your channel! You make it sound so simple!! Trying this out on my next video edits~

[@nowveera]

8:32 really satisfying. You are awesome. color correction, the most mysterious thing ever. always felt that i am never near to perfection in color correction. will try this. thanks a lot.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hiii Veera! I know, SO satisfying! It's important to remember to keep the correction simple, because you only want to correct it, not make it look pretty, that's what grading is for. Let me know how it goes, if you have any questions, you know where to find me!

[@chuckbolland386]

Lila... I especially like your video because it keeps it simple. You have in 10 min. taught me more than previously watching a 30 min. video that tied the subject up in knots. thank you. Hope you make many more.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Thanks again Chuck! Happy to hear the video was helpful 😊

[@dickclark5237]

LILA: WOW!! Never thought that color grading was so complicated. And you make it much simpler. Thanks.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Haha I'm glad to hear I made it simpler! Yeah color correction is easier said than done but this step is *vital*!

[@donlarge]

Hi Lila. Thanks for the tutorial. I felt you kept it basic enough and provided a clear explanation then neatly tied it together. I was able to better understand not only the how but the what and why as well.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hi Darren, I'm glad to read that you had a positive experience with my teaching style :) Do you have any questions left?

[@Arcvde]

This is the best video i have found on KZbin, not only explain color correcting, but also how to do it so easily explained with the Scope!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Thanks Michael, i'm happy it's helpful 😊

[@mxpoe]

Your tutorials have been so helpful and informative to a newbie like me 😅 thank you!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Haha you are welcome! 😁

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Great job Lila. I am obsessed with color correction. It is truly the thing that slows me down in getting out videos.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hiiii Brian!! haha I get that. Setting your white balance manually will already help you a lot! For this video, I forgot to set my white balance and it was one of those days that the clouds were moving super fast and therefore the exposure kept changing. I had to do a LOT of correction for this video, so I feel your pain. But usually by setting my white balance manually it doesn't take too long.

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

@@lilafromyoutube I agree with the white balance. I have a video coming out this week about how to correct your white balance for the sony a6400.

[@lilafromyoutube]

@@BrianTheCameraGuy nice!!

[@TECHNIKMM]

This video was damn awesome, for the first time I actually feel like I understand color correcting and thanks to one of your other videos I finally heard from someone that you have to color correct before applying a Lut and that you have to lower the intensity of the Lut, this information has soooo much value to me. thanks!

[@paytonkline4811]

Very helpful and well-explained vid, good job!

[@lilafromyoutube]

Glad it was helpful!

[@La-verdad-aunque-duela]

Love you Lila, thanks for your great tutorials!

[@dieslfitness32]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Although, I am still just a little confused on the waveforms. Are we supposed to adjust until its more spaced out where there used to be a concentration?

[@christianlamb]

Thank you! This gives me more info on how to color correct....I've just been going by sight and I know that is not a great idea. I'll keep messing with it.....practice makes progress! :-)

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hey christian! Playing it by ear.. or eye actually 😜 is not always a great idea. I've caught myself doing that sometimes too, but it's really the best to also use the scopes. And I agree, practice makes progress!! Keep it up :)

[@WonderlandBoudoir]

What a great video! Thanks! Also, thanks for making it concise.

Excellent Tutorial Video On How To Color Grade Lila! Thank You.

[@lilafromyoutube]

woop!!

[@jonathanwaldie]

Just found your channel and I love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing! My one tip for colour correcting or grading (works for photo or video): when you’re done, leave it for a day and come back and look at it. It’s easy to get carried away or lose perspective when editing as our eyes and brain adjust and alter our perception. Giving some space and coming back later gives you a fresh look at the colour correcting and grading you did.

[@lilafromyoutube]

Hi Jonathan!!! Thanks for the lovely comment 😁

[@jonathanwaldie]

@@lilafromyoutube I’ve been binging your videos this morning. I just watched your vlogging video with Cody, you are definitely not the only who struggles with vlogging. I’ve wanted to start doing some vlogs just to create video memories but I always struggle to pull them together. But I’ve got a local trip coming up and you’ve inspired me to vlog it even if it’s not a big epic production! :)

[@lilafromyoutube]

Lol I still feel that way to be honest! I haven’t made enough vlogs to feel comfortable so thanks for this reminder!!!

[@LeonardCorraya]

Love to read your creativity mind.brilliant

[@lilafromyoutube]

haha that's awesome!! thanks for watching Leonard!

[@GBLynden]

Good stuff! I just started using this after years of using Movie Maker and am looking to take advantage of the power this program offers.

[@lilafromyoutube]

That's a big move, but premiere definitely offers A LOT more options than movie maker. If you haven't watched it already, I made an entire beginners guide that's only 15 min :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp3Mq31mft9na80

[@GBLynden]

@@lilafromyoutube It is and I will check it out. If you have time, have a look at my latest upload using the tips from this video. Outdoor flight videos normally don’t need any correction, but indoor unboxings do. Though I might color correct outdoor stuff anyway now that I know how to do it 😎

[@lilafromyoutube]

@@GBLynden it looks great!! I also took a peak at an outdoor video and I think you can definitely correct it a little bit to make it pop more by adding a bit of contrast for example :) but overall the straight out of camera footage looks pretty good!!

[@jon-uncommoncreator1621]

[@lilafromyoutube]

Aw thank you too!!

[@fischerdance9686]

Lila, thank you so much!! I just started color correcting a timeline that is already edited into many clips. Do I need to go through each clip and adjust the scopes, or can I use an adjustment layer for that as well?

[@lilafromyoutube]

You can do all the color corrections and grading on an adjustment layer so it will immediately be applied to l the clips below that adjustment layer! :)
