iMovie Effects 4: Color Correction

[@MatthewPearce]

@GuineaPigKid11 My videos are shot with either a Canon 60D, Panasonic GF2, GoPro Hero, or my iPhone.

[@MatthewPearce]

You're welcome!!! Thanks for watching.

[@GoBazango]

I appreciate you taking the time out to do these tutorials. They are very insightful and easy to pick up.

[@thezeebug]

Matt i really love your iMovie tutorials. i've used after effects and final cut but i use imovie for just basic edits and, yeah i love that you take time to go through these basic stuff. :) appreciate it!

[@biuemusic5]

these tutorials are so clear and simple - they've helped me a lot, just when i really needed it ... thank you!

[@Beastkyle4455]

you make REALLY helpful videos i dont know what i would do without you

[@technoguy3542]

I wish you would make more color correction tutorials. Your footage looks truly amazing!

[@bunnygrl]

Subscribed. Thanks so much for this video! I recently got into iMovie because I've let my home videos collect dust for too long.

[@ryandidthis]

I knew the basics (contrast/brightness etc..) but this was super helpful! Thanks Matt!

[@SounderAU]

Great tips, mate. I always make adjustments to my photographs but I've never tried adjusting video colour correction. Definitely something I'll look at in future. Thanks.

[@MatthewPearce]

@falli3 Depends. Widows Movie Maker is free, so I would start with that. I like both Vegas and Premiere if you want more advanced features. I would go with Premiere if you plan using a lot of the CS5 apps.

[@CricketcoachGuy]

God Bless for still making these IMovie videos, they really help! :)

[@joeymontano7566]

can you please do an updated video on the new imovie 2014 nothing your showing is on there ...

[@imogenlouise4580]

YASS PLEASE

[@jorgemejia6071]

YESSS PLS

[@SamMelik]

i like tutorials which are short, solid and to the point ! like it

[@MatthewPearce]

@Yippykaiyay No, there are a lot of things that you can not do on the iOS version of iMovie that you can in the Mac version.

[@gello88]

This is a great tutorial! I usually just leave my videos as is when editing in iMovie but after seeing this I'm definitely going to start processing my videos more! :)

[@RyanKelly1000]

Haha this is awesome! Every time I want a tutorial video or wondering how to do something, you make a video, and I wanted to learn how to color correct in iMovie, you're awesome, keep up the good work ;)

[@cdilga]

This is an extremely effective tutourial. absolutely LOVE it

[@DarlaBaltazar]

This is great and to this date quite a lifesaver cuz I'm still on iMovie 9 haha

[@wyuhin5000]

These pointers are great! Thank you!!!

[@smileytan]

this is great!!! thanks so much for sharing this and all your imovie tips & tricks!!!

[@bICEQ]

That's is a nice tip. Thanks, and make more videos about iMovie 4. Big Fan of Yours

[@utah62]

Thanks. Is was looking for this. Don't forget that you also can use the build in video effects to create some looks.

[@fwijffels]

I've been photographing for little over 2 years now and with editing you try to keep it as real and beautiful as possible, but when I do that with color grading on my video's they look much less good. I feel like you have to go more crazy on the colors in video to let it pop out real good. Like your color grading in this video. When your editing and you only see one shot, I think that it's oversaturated. But when you're playing the video, it looks pretty good.

[@MatthewPearce]

@isaaclimyj Not sure. You never really know with Kickstarter stuff since that don't even start to make them until after funding ends.

[@1026drummer]

very informative.... I've been looking for something like this. Once again, thanks mat and i love your vids. Very informative!

[@sportfreaks3210]

Never knew I could do this much! And I thought I needed Sony vegas

[@MatthewPearce]

@Pianoplayer1311 Absolutely. I even color correct my iPhone video.

[@TQmatt]

With your opening video of the MacBook Air, you managed to pan the camera very nicely (like smoothly - camera did not shake or look amateurish - quite professional). Did you initially pan it as you were shooting (on a tripod, for example) and then used the stabilization option in iMovie, or was it a standard, stable shot then zoomed and panned in iMovie? Basically, how did you get that nice pan? Thanks.

[@MatthewPearce]

@nicdem25 In terms of number of styles, you are only limited by your imagination. I recommend looking at movies that are the same genre as your short film and see the look they used. You'll start to notice that most horror films use cool tones, epic history films use warm tones, action films have kind of a green overcast, etc...

[@superholly]

this is great! Thank you :)

[@MatthewPearce]

@wayneharrel If you go to my channel page and search "DSLR Lenses" I have a video with some general recommendations.

[@julosx]

Hi, Matt. I messed around for 2 days with this kind of settings (and editing of course) on my last project called "AJECTA railfest 2011" on iMovie '09 which I sent to KZbin today. It's really convenient.

[@jeezkids]

Nice video man! Helped me a lot. Just one question. How did you do that from left to right shot on 1:32?

[@TheLastDistrict]

this was the greatest help yet!

[@collintheapplegeek]

Great video Matt!

[@charlescc1000]

Is the GoPro footage from Idaho by any chance? I visit Sun Valley often and take side trips north. The trees look very similar. Lodgepoles, I think? Great tip! Editing can make a great shot look awesome!

[@JosephArzuagaa]

Nice vid! What version of iMovie are you using ?

[@MatthewPearce]

@NaviShergrillz What app is using it?

[@MatthewPearce]

@GadgetHD My time machine is broken right now.... and all my vintage Macs are in storage while I'm traveling.

[@one4all101]

GREAT VIDEO! this helps a lot!!!!

[@Yippykaiyay]

Hey Matt, I have a big question. I want to start getting into video production type things, I have a windows laptop that isnt really going for me. I've seen a bunch of your videos on iMovie, which are both for iOS and Mac. I was wondering, can you do all the advanced editing you are doing on your mac in imovie on an iPad or am I better off getting a Mac Mini, which I am in the market for?

[@MatthewPearce]

@biuemusic5 You're welcome. Glad I could help!

[@BeckGregorFL]

Nice tips. Thank you for sharing this!

[@isaaclimyj]

I know you already supported the cineskates programme, but when will you be getting them?

[@GeneCst]

Great video thanks from Costa Rica!!

[@MatthewPearce]

@HenricMaverick I have a list on my channel page on the sidebar.

[@vicenteragalch]

Thanks for the video dude. Helped a lot.

[@WorldLore]

Hey, i have the same MacAir that you have, is it common that when I boot it up that 1/2 of the RAM is already being used?

[@Pianoplayer1311]

Hey so Matt I'm planning to film a video for a project I'm doing but I don't have something fancy as an SLR would color correction make it have that movie kind of feel?

[@MattimusHD]

iMovie is awesome!

[@HqckFN]

in the newer imovie even this is removed

[@minikate5071]

Hackzilla_2 wow imovie is mean

[@psicologiapratica]

Hi! thanx for the tutorial. It's possible to change colours in all the clips and not just in the one i select?

[@1chomps]

[@zxFlashHDxz]

[@CommanderBLY77]

[@JimCullen]

Hey, really useful video. Even for colour timing in in FCP X :D Is there any chance we could see some Motion and After Effects tutorials?

[@AngeliquesLOVE]

great tutorial,thanks mat

[@NickSzubart]

is there a decent way to color grade in a program like final cut express?

[@oRichyyy]

at 2:31, you use the options of changing the Green, Red, and Blue gain in it... mine doesn't show that, do i have to change some settings to get it?

[@umangjain420]

thanks man u helped me a lot!

[@Altiren]

Thank you for this simpel but a very helpful tip!

[@Billeh07]

Thank you for being so awesome.

[@MatthewPearce]

@LOTRzagorath I just don't feel like I'm good enough at either of them yet to make tutorials.

[@Ravjot03]

I don't know if this relates that much but I have iMovie on iPad and it's so hard for me to figure out how to make it Black and White?!

[@WorldLore]

@MattsMacintosh Messenger, Caffeine, Translate Tab, Yoink, iCleanMemory, ToDo Lists, HyperDock, and Stickies. This is only at start up. After using it for 5-20 minutes of using Safari or Word it goes down 1GB free. Activity Monitor shows that Safari, Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) and Safari Web Content uses the most at about 500-700MB total. I later shutdown all of these apps and it didn't change much. Sorry if I posted this twice, I don't think it showed up the last time I posted this.

[@ElleenBrownn]

Hey I'm making a film for my coursework and filmed my clips at night in the woods. All of the clips are really dark but when I try to lighten them using exposure etc, they go all cartoon like, how can I make them look better?

[@georgegergi]

What's that safari plug in you've got, the letter?

[@Lurkur]

Thanks so much for this video!! your my new hero!! :)

[@MatthewPearce]

I used a slider.

[@shunu2565]

Hi~ matt I'm a longlong subscriber and saw every one of your videos. one quick question.. how can you manage your life (friends, girl friend, financial) and do all of these in the same time? guess you're workaholic...;;;

[@NielsDeKeukelaere]

I have a problem with these color corrections. When I export my project as Quicktime Movie, I get a .mov file with the correct colors applied to the different clips. But when I upload this video to KZbin, those corrections are gone and KZbin seems to totally ignore the corrections. What did I do wrong? I mainly changed saturation in 90% of my clips. Thx

[@JonnyKahann]

is it possible to color correct several clips at one time?

[@peopleTHATdoTHINGStv]

THANK U SO MUCH EXPLAINS ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GabrielFatam]

what camera and lense you used while filming the first scene ''Mac scene ''

[@1starfist]

Hi, Can you tell me if there's a way to remove glare from the video. Its just too annoying.

[@HighOnTheWire]

How do you fix the fisheye on a gopro in imovie ?

[@xMuzzey]

[@willmcglone6210]

Great vid!!! Thanks so much

[@VirtuosityToniLekic]

[@TheMcjapskiProject]

[@carissastephens7083]

[@benhall6974]

Did you shoot this using the Protune mode on GoPro?

[@DaveVisaya]

@MattsMacintosh how about the lens matt? thanks for the tips

[@jeezkids]

How does that work? Could you make a video about it? Please? :)

[@MasterLego2000]

[@MatthewPearce]

[@abailey1086]

[@sk8thore]

[@RagnarGG]

[@NickaliciousNL]
