Selective Color Grading using Luma Key Masking, LumaFusion - Tutorial (iOS, Android, ChromeOS)

[@PoetryFilms]

Great work! LF seems to have so much more scope than is immediately apparent. Many thanks for bringing your ingenious solutions to the wider community of users. Subbed.

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you so much for your kind comments and for the sub!

[@RFVisionary]

👍🏻 Great suggestion, also useful for implementing similar techniques. Thanks!

[@ManantialVE]

I’m glad it helps. Thank you for keeping watching!

[@fbmrqs]

You’re a genius, my friend. What a fantastic advice!!!

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! I’m humbled. This tutorial allowed isolating either the shadows or the highlights. Check this other tutorial of mine that allows isolating the mid-tones: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2ibimduYtmXZ5o

[@tammysypniewski1891]

You’re the master! Period! Great video with super helpful and important information 👍

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks!!!

[@ManantialVE]

This isn’t yet one of those cases where I’ve been doing something for a while and they I realize that I haven’t seen any videos showing the method on KZbin.

This is what i like manantial tuts it’s always overrated editing ideas💯💓

Thank you so much!!!

Wow, you do amazing work with LumaFusion!

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! If you are up to it check the tutorial I posted today that shows how to create LumaFusion keyframe animations with ChatGPT.

[@TimelyAdventure]

@@ManantialVE Interesting will do!

[@ManantialVE]

@@TimelyAdventure Awesome! The option to verbalize your request and get a set of keyframes as a response from ChatGPT, with no calculations or knowledge has tremendous potential.

[@IAMSTULITTLE]

Really nicely done Dani 🤙 🤗

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! Looking forward to your next LumaFusion tutorial!

[@BrendanEvan]

Wow this is HUGE! Thank you!!

[@ManantialVE]

Easy and useful, right? At some point in the future I’ll publish another tutorial showing how to separate a video into Red Blue and Green channels and color grade them separately. For example you could apply a LUT just to the red channel.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Clever. Thanks ❤

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching! I also made a tutorial, using a similar method, but this time isolating the mid tones. Take a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2ibimduYtmXZ5osi=x3TJ69ifEV3glukn

Fantastically creative use of existing elements! Many thanks

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks! One of the goals of this channel is to show you original workflows that no one else has covered yet. That directly translates into creativity. Check for example my video on Text Displacement. Last year someone asked me if it was possible and I said no, and now I have a tutorial about it.

@@ManantialVE I can imagine sometimes I get fed up with it

[@ericvrp2]

This would probably be great for color correcting my underwater footage!

[@ManantialVE]

In preparation for this video I did some preliminary testing using footage from an aquarium that worked well. Thanks for watching!

[@ericvrp2]

For me this would be color correcting for video’s made while freediving in lakes and hopefully in the Caribbien next week.

[@ManantialVE]

I’m curious now. I’ll give it a try too using StoryBlocks.

[@ManantialVE]

Here is what worked for me. I used footage of a diver underwater. I hope this is your kind of scenario . The whole scene, including the diver, has a bluish tint. I started with a mask that I reversed so the luma keys level slope goes from top to bottom. The mask included the diver and the lighter parts of the water and sea bed. Then, instead of correcting the topmost video making it brighter, I edited the video in the main track, lowering the brightness of the lighter parts of the image. Although I haven’t changed anything for the diver or sea bed, this made them pop against the now better contrasted light areas. I can post a video for you if you need help figuring out why I’m describing.

[@ericvrp2]

please make more video on the Selective color grading. Thanks

Thanks! It’s in the plans. Since this video was published, I made a small tutorial that expands on the Subject Behind Text aspect of the method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXq6kIFpZ6aaZtE

This video made me download lumafusion

[@ManantialVE]

Awesome! Enjoy getting to know LumaFusion!

[@kaicastle.]

Oh wow, thank you very much! I was wondering how to do this as well! Quick question, is this the same as making the grass/trees a bit greener in a video? Thank you

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching! If you want to change the saturation or brightness of a specific color I’d recommend using chroma key. Here’s an example from Restless Creative: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYfRp6ljnd6Ln6ssi=bWRgpLb096lAI7WL

[@kaicastle.]

@@ManantialVE oh wow thanks for sharing this! Saved! Thank you!

[@ManantialVE]

@kaicastle. Anytime!

[@neoterixx3440]

Outstanding video. You are a true gem. Can one achieve text behind an object if the object and background are black/dark? I want to have white text between the background and the object.

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! It may, you’ll have to try. So far I posted 2 additional methods to create Text Behind Subject. One of them ought to do the job. Take a look: Using Chroma Key: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITTk6COf9KSi9U Using Blend Modes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi0Y31ulraZebc

[@neoterixx3440]

@@ManantialVE thanks for the reply 🙏 I tried your latest approach but could get it to work. But I will try using blending modes. I’m looking forward to more content from you ❤️

[@ManantialVE]

Yeah, if the object and background have similar color and brightness it may be a challenge.

[@iHub1234]

Well done bro

[@ManantialVE]

Thanks!

[@RichardDaniel-x6i]

Can I use this technique to add myself in a Timelapse video using the masking effect? Do you have a video explaining that?

[@ManantialVE]

@@RichardDaniel-x6i Thank you for watching. I’d use a different method, film yourself with a uniformly coloured background, preferably a green screen or a color that you are not wearing and then key the color out with chroma key. Let me know if you are familiar with this process.

Thank you for watching. There’s not much you can do if the video if too grainy. I usually try a combination of Levels, Shadow Amount, Gaussian and Unsharp.

Thanks a lot sir My one question is to u how i am able use clip graphic of kinemaster in luma fusion is there any assest like that which i can use in luma Thanks in advance

[@ManantialVE]

Thank you for watching. As long as you can export the graphic as a video, you would be able to use it in LumaFusion. If possible, add a green background so you can chroma key in LumaFusion.

[@iqbal1618]

@@ManantialVE thanks for the reply Masking i mean like we do in davinci resolver for specific. Area like in snapseed we select specific area for color grading And also one thing was in mind can be do masking of a moving person face like we can do in premier pro or resolver Thanks in advance

[@ManantialVE]

There is no masking functionality in LumaFusion and as far as I know there are no plans for it in the near future. Also there is no automatic tracking, but you can use Keyframes, hopefully relying as much as possible on interpolation. With that said there are ways to get somewhat close results. Here are some examples that I covered in some of my tutorials: Masking using Chroma Key: Split transition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp2sioKanNVkq6s Text behind subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jITTk6COf9KSi9U Masking using Luma Key: Selective color grading:kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZK8Y5SlmdOWipY Luma Fade transition: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g36UiGmdg8qNqs0 Masking using Lighter/Darker Blend Mode: Text behind subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpi0Y31ulraZebc
