How To Color Grade In Premiere Pro \\ Lumetri Color vs Cinema Grade

[@with_all_yourheart1555]

I really like your style of tutorial. It felt like you were just my buddy showing me how to work with the software.

[@dunnadidit]

That’s exactly the vibe I was going for! Thanks for saying that!

Great Tut!! I'm sold on Cinema Grade from your demonstration, yay! :) Thanks, and all the best!

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it!

[@리키스-w9z]

Great tips, your tutorials have always been helping me upgrade my editing skills. I've just looked around your KZbin, people seem to be interested in sigma lenses, aps-c camera, and Instagram photo editing. (according to number of views) but for me, the most favorite video is the canada trip vlog, I really enjoyed to watch you stepped out of your comfort zone. Keep trying to be super youtube man! I'll keep watching you! from korean big fan :)

[@dunnadidit]

Hey James! Thanks so much for the kind words! Good to know that you enjoyed the vlog, I’ve got another one kind of like that coming soon! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@spencerbigum1309]

I gotta say the speed and simplicity at which I can get things done with Cinema Grade, especially in the pro version, easily out weighs me having a curves tool (however I do miss it). Plus it reminds me of using Lightroom which is a bonus if your coming from a photography background I think. Great video comparing the two basic workflows!

[@dunnadidit]

I think that’s the name of the game. Cinema Grade just makes it so quick and easy! Thanks for watching, I’m glad you liked it!

[@philliptamez]

@@dunnadidit do you still use Cinema Grade or are you back to traditional grading?

[@konixtwenty8275]

Your tutorial is very nice. You are very concise, detailed and the background music is not blaring like in some other videos. As far as which one is better I don’t really see any difference at all. It’s not like one gives you more control over the other. I think it’s more like what style of editing you prefer. The only thing is that if you already have Premier Pro you don’t need to buy anything else to be able to grade. So buying this plug-in is essentially a waste of money because it doesn’t give you any greater control than you can get with Lumetry color that’s already inside Premeire Pro.

[@jasonmoccia87]

Great video. I was thinking about buying Cinema Grade, and this definitely helped me make a decision. Keep the video's coming!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching Jason! Glad it helped!

Whattt?? who dropped the 10 dislikes? Someone's jealous of your hard work and talent!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha that’s crazy! Maybe I should put my hat back on? That’s probably what it is. People don’t like hair 😂😂😂

[@FotoFinn]

@@dunnadidit HAHA yeah I had a hater dropping over 25 dislikes on each one of my videos. They finally went their own way and stopped after I didn't give them any attention. Lol the time they spend on disliking with multiple accounts could be put into making good content. it's sad

[@dunnadidit]

Haha yup! I had someone with 16 accounts once but they eventually went away. Looks like someone else has it in for me now too. Meh 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rogueonefifteen8289]

How do you know they’re multiple? Some people just don’t like KZbin recommends.

[@dunnadidit]

Could be! But it is suspicious when they all happen so quickly and often right when the video is posted. I managed to get 16 dislikes before my video had 16 views once lol. Either way... I don’t really care haha. People gonna do what they wanna do.

[@johnervin1638]

Great tutorial I recently got cinema grade as I'm trying to learn how to color grade. Definitely will use both methods for color grading. Keep doing great man

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks so much John! Cheers!

[@After.Gravity]

Very helpful video.... How you add sharpness to the video..? Which way you prefer?

[@dunnadidit]

I’m using davinci resolve nowadays and there’s a sharpness option in the color grading area. But in premiere I’d probably use the unsharp mask effect

[@After.Gravity]

@@dunnadidit special thanks for the quick reply!!

[@jhass00]

Excellent. Thank you as always... You're very easy to follow and a great teacher. Much appreciated!

[@BurkeCullinane]

LOVE this video! For me, not having curves is a big turn off. But that program seems dope! If they added curves, I'd definitely give it a shot!

[@dunnadidit]

I hear you! I think it’s actually really great for quick fixes where you don’t necessarily want to go through the whole process of fine tuning... something like quick logs or social media posts. But I’m with you and I’m super particular about my curves lol

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks man! I appreciate the kind words!

[@FranciscoAlvarezTV]

Hey Dunna! Ran into this old video of yours. Considering Cinema Grade in 2022. Would you still recommend? Do you still use it? Let me know, man!

[@chrisau2159]

Awesome video! Never considered using an adjustment layer before but it makes complete sense. Also you're looking jacked my man! You flexing much?

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah man! Makes it so much easier. Sometimes I’ll even do the correction on one adjustment layer and the grade on the next one. Makes it easier for multiple clips that need similar correction. Thanks dude, I’ve been a lazy butt since my one wheel wreck. My ankle is still pretty bunged up so I can’t do much yet. But previous to that I was definitely hitting it hard!

[@chrisau2159]

Dunna Did It oh dude I’ve copy and pasted colour effects so many times with garbage results. This is a life saver. Pull-ups are my go to with leg injuries. It’s all about that profile!

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah!! Good call! Maybe it’s time I do a pull up challenge!

[@topherderry]

Great vid man, just subscribed. Came across your channel looking for some Cinema Grade tuts. Just purchased and installed and so far I really enjoy the approach it takes, although I wish they included a curves adjustment. One question though; I want to add my color corrections and/or color grade to an adjustment layer/layers like you'd normally do within Premiere (Lumetri). Is this possible with Cinema Grade? Literally just installed it earlier this afternoon so still getting familiar, but it seems when you select your clips from the sequence and add the Cinema Grade effect, it's just adding the CG edits to the clips, baking them in so to speak. I'd really like to do the grading in CG but still be able to add them to an adjustment layer. Not sure if that's possible. I'm typing this as I'm watching so I apologize if you cover this later in the vid. Great stuff man, looking forward to checking out your other vids.

[@BrettANewton]

Great video! The one thing I need to get better at is understanding the curves in Lumetri and color in general! I was looking at Cinema Grade, not sure I need it yet. But I was wondering about the LUTS you're using for Cine2? and also if you have any good Luts for Cine4? Thanks for the great video. Using it now to do some s-curves and correcting ;).

[@dunnadidit]

Hey Brett! I don’t really use much for luts other than the Leeming Luts for the technical corrections. And even then, sometimes I just prefer to do it manually. I find luts to be really inconsistent depending on lighting situations. It’s something I’m still experimenting with though. Glad you liked the video!

[@BrettANewton]

[@jamestaylor7045]

@@dunnadidit ooo is that not on the a6500?

[@stevekdigitalworx]

Steve here! Couple questions, and one complaint. 1. Can you talk to Cinema Grade and have them show us Windows folks some love? :) 2. And after they show us the love... After you grade in Cinema Grade can you return to Lumetri to mess with the curves (if that's your thing)? 3. This was obviously a down and dirty, but how would you color grade on a run/gun shoot, with rapidly changing scenes? Would have to divide the clip up, and grade as changes occur? 4. I see a midi keyboard; is that just for your music producing, or do use a midi to edit in either LR or Premiere? How about a tablet? And my complaint: Recognizing/acknowledging that I'm old, so therefore it's too loud with your hippity hop music, that during the parts where you weren't talking, you'd punch the volume up on the music and I found it unpleasant. (I have to adjust my speakers to hear voice, and then to have that punch is uncomfortable). Thanks Dunna!!!

[@dunnadidit]

Hey Steve! 1. I’ll see what I can do lol 😂 2. Yes! Like I said, you can combine the two in whichever way you’d like! 3. Ideally, you “color correct” everything individually, and then apply the “color grade” as an adjustment layer on top of everything. If you want to copy and paste certain corrections for scenes you can do that by either using a first adjustment layer for your corrections as well or use the copy and paste attributes function. 4. Just for music, rarely gets used at home though. As for your complaint, I appreciate you letting me know! I’ll keep that in mind for future videos with my hippity hoppity music!

[@alekweidman9931]

Do you have to do this for every single shot in your video? Or can you paste the color correction on all others

[@dunnadidit]

It’s a combination. You can copy paste to other clips but often have to manually adjust a bunch as well.

[@alekweidman9931]

Dunna Did It thanks!

[@dunnadidit]

No problem!

[@DanielDebenham]

Great vlog bro, love that plugin, though like you I like curves. 😂 If it's serious work though, it's always thrown in davinci. 😂 👍

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks man! Yeah, I find that cinema grade is nice and simple and quick but it’s just missing a few little things that I like to do, especially on my more serious projects

[@LostBoysLofi]

Sorry if I sound really new by asking this. Why do you use davinci for more serious color grades?

[@claireroche8920]

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for watching Claire!

[@NaveenYadav-yx3fg]

My doubt is.....should this colour grading must be done everytime for different cameras for different projects or once it is done for particular camera can that be saved as lut or preset to use for the same camera again in future??please help

[@dunnadidit]

Because every shot is different and lighting is always different, generally you have to grade everything presets and LUTs can be helpful as a starting place but in my opinion there is no real one-click answer without at least tweaking it after.

Is there are any difference between profile 6 in a6500 and a6400?
