Great tutorial, Jeven! I appreciate that you start at square 1 instead of assuming we already know something.

[@supra1jzed]

I can't thank you enough for these videos. You are excellent at explaining, teaching, and demonstrating. On a whim I decided to produce a cinematic small film for my significant other. She won't return home until middle of next month. The task has been daunting. Really glad that I ran across your channel, from drone shots, handheld shots, and the biggest task of them all...editing. Thank you so much for what you do with these videos!!!!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

Thanks for this. I'm a total beginner at this whole filmmaking thing (about 3 months in) and I'm still getting a grasp on the whole color grading thing. This video is a big help. I'm adding it to my color grading playlist.

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

I had no idea you could color grade in capcut... so when I found out.. I decided to come to your channel to understand the concept! Thanks bro

[@chowtimewithruss1411]

I really appreciate your training videos, I’ve never done anything like this, always have been interested in how it get done. You make it really easy to understand and I feel like with a little practice I could get pretty good at it. Thx for taking the time to make the videos that you make.

[@user-wp8yx]

After I watched this video I watched Fellowship of the Rings in kdean live with the graphs on. I will never look at a movie the same way again. Their use of color and light to tell the story is phenomenal. Thanks for this video. This has dramatically helped my amateur footage.

[@Jay-Go]

This is the first video I saw after starting down the path to learn about color. Thanks for the this.

[@bbaillet21]

Jeven, thank you so much for all your tutorials. You gave me confidence to start color grading thanks to your very clear examples & explanations. Bruno from France

[@dotpolka6230]

Wow I’m a complete beginner and this made so much sense, thank you

[@wayfarer8882]

Man, this was exactly what I needed!Great job!

[@JenricAquino]

Thank you so much for the tutorial Jeven! By far, the best tutorials on color correcting

[@anumohandasnair]

I have watched many videos. You explained the least complicated way . Thank you and I have it saved for future references in to a playlist along with few of your other videos.

[@charedegaming]

thank you for this guide. I am pretty new to colour grading but I really want to improve what I do so this guide was super useful. Thanks for the great video, it was so helpful!

[@ALinsdau]

Great idea to pull in other screen shots and look at the scopes to see where the look is coming from.

[@tristanferi]

the best color correction and grading tutorial! Thank you you helped me a lot :)

[@GabeRodriiguez]

Such a helpful video! I’m just getting into videography.. this was extremely well thought out, thanks jeven 🎬🙌🏼

[@CoolOutSessions910]

[@DanielKernahan]

Good Video Buddy. Nice and simple exactly the way I colour grade.

[@blinkimgone04]

Just subscribed to your channel, this was by far the best color grading tutorial I've seen. Thanks so much!

[@testthattech4603]

Thanks for the great info. I didn't even know where to begin with fixing color before watching this.

[@joshazinger1711]

You're an awesome creator and truly appreciate sharing your knowledge! 12:05 mark was amazing, didn't realize you could do this.

[@EverydayFamilyFL]

Great timing... Been a struggle lately for me... Went away from standard profiles in an attempt to get better color. BUT, its been an epic failure so far... Thanks Jeven

[@eunoia4769]

Great video. I like the simplistic explanation!

[@PlanetImo]

That was very enjoyable - thanks!

Awesome video!! Thank you for posting this!

[@edwardpollard6928]

Great tutorial! I looked at the details in the description and saw a bunch of useful information and thought "Wow this guys really helpful" that earned a subscribe :) I look forward to diving more into your channel.

[@speakerscoach]

Nice idea to bring in other creators work and assess their look

[@anthonydeross6999]

This video is greatly helpful and educational. I appreciate your content a lot!

[@MarkusKiili]

Your tutorials are great. I've done quite a lot of photographing and timelapses, but video seems to be a different world. I have alse liked your youtube-tutorials and partly based on those I have made changes and average watching time increased from 3 min to 6 min.

[@mixagames5425]

Thanks for this awesome tutorial it is very helpful!

[@RCmaxxUK]

Useful video thanks. I just use iMovie so I’ll need to see how much adjustment I have, hopefully enough to take out the common overly green look of my outside footage. 👍

[@tassieadventurerider4815]

Great tips, thank you for another easy to follow video. I’m new to KZbin and your Chanel has given me great help 👌

[@paisajesdelsurdechile]

Wow! So amazing thanks for your videos always useful information for us. I'm gonna use it in my videos

[@dominickmorales130]

Thank you so much.

[@jtsvisuals3423]

Hey Jeven. Don't normally comment on stuff. But wanted to let you know I really appreciate this tutorial. You stated things I've heard in plenty of videos here on youtube, of course, but you were able to explain and demonstrate them in a way that helped me really grasp the concept of what I'm supposed to be doing. I think this is the video that will really stick with me, so I wanted to thank you and let you know that I'm hitting subscribe! :)

[@bigman52100]

THANKYOU

[@UrbanVanlife]

This is such a good video . I’m learning all this now and this vid helped me so much . Thanks dude

[@grat2010]

Hey mate that was great. More on colour grading please.

[@TimetoTalkwithYevgen]

I am using Davinci Resolve, thank you for sharing your video

[@KarateJohnny]

This is nice. Thank you:)

[@ValdezVending]

Been wanting to learn how to do this on Final Cut Pro 👍🏼😊

[@Imjjenn]

this was really good information

[@DennisBarrera]

Awesome video really helpful !!!

[@veronikamarsland]

Thank you so much. Such a great step by step explanation. On the subject of making the clips look the same in step 1 (correction) - what if I can't quite make them match manually? Is there a way to make them look similar?

[@4WLEX]

You’re great pal!!!!

[@davidthegood]

Excellent explanation, Jeven. Thank you.

[@kapix4023]

verified with no likes sad

[@IvelinaDobreva]

Great channel! Definitely subscribed!!

[@asananddevsingh]

This is really great video. I just want to know how to color correct and grade a moving shot in which the light is changing regularly and characters are also changing. But that all in one shot. Any help will be highly appreciated.

[@adrim9149]

Omg this is Amazing!

[@MrEddieNunez]

New studio looks great Jeven!!

[@JevenDovey]

Thank You! I have some stuff to do behind the scenes to finish it but I'm liking the way its looking :)

[@LensaHobi]

Thankyou

[@HansManikan]

Another great video! Its a huge help to us small youtuber 🙏🏻😁

[@DanielRibera]

When editing videos or photos on your Mac, how much brightness do you use on the screen? why? Thankyou

[@Immaagada]

Your videos are soo useful and legit, still using your ideas on my videos though but thanks and can you do this on a phone please

[@WealthWithDoctorGlo]

Bingo. Thank you

[@treklinda1309]

So useful video.. thank you :)

[@rocknflip66]

I am guilty getting luts. and not like it will matter to the average, but it’s worthwhile taking time to be creative on the “look” clip by clip. Even more rewarding when viewers notice the work. 🙏

[@Jamaicarasramarc]

Awesome job bro 🙏 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@NinduGreenwood]

First thing to do when Jeven uploads new Content --> like it👍🤓

[@dollybusters8779]

[@SaqibMobeen]

Nice Work Javen. Big LIke for you

[@alliffian]

Perfectttt

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Liking the look of your new digs, Jeven. : +)

[@JoarABTheflyingraven]

Is it a good idea to take an hdmi cable from my computer to my TV? 4k TV screens. In stead of my laptop monitor.

[@snowbeach11]

I like the middle look not the faded boring one & not the deep colour one. 👍😂

[@markelkesofficial]

Thanks for the vid, wouldn't a tool like an Xrite color checker video help to get a ''standard reference''? It gives me a reference values for exposure and color.

[@MrStangozz]

I think I just needed a new camera first then 2020 will be awesome, I wanna give my channel new quality videos next year💞💖💞

[@shauryashrivastava8965]

This video has helped a bit in letting me know that the struggle when it comes to learning and implementing color grading and correction is real but maybe it was due to the way it is taught. I am currently learning Video Editing, Color Grading on Davinci Resolve. A software known for its sophistication and steep learning curve, especially when it comes to learning color grading becomes difficult, but knowing the success that lies in the end makes the learning journey worth it. In your video, you're using Final Cut Pro, but I'm sure the same workflow can be implemented on Davinci Resolve as well, right?!

[@brennanhaley8872]

Workspace change to color and correcting

[@martinpostmusfilmmaker]

Thanks Jeven. May i mention Davinci Resove edetingsoftware. Ist for free and has a lot of features, like luts

[@RazorNub]

hey i had a question would really appreciate if someone could actually help me with this Do you color correct all the clips together with an adjustment layer or you do it for each clip separately similarly what process do we follow in color grading aswell is it like all of them together or individually?

[@ChazTurmon]

Where can I find this so-called "Adjustment Layer" in final cut?

[@jrcardosotravel]

Thanks for all the great content you create , top notch! Is it possible for you to make a video on how to use , connect and set up mac laptop to external monitor? Thanks, that would be much appreciated. Junior

[@ElGringoSam]

Hey Jeven, love your contributions to the community. I have shot and edited all my videos on my iPhone, and I'm just curious what editing software would you recommend for those of us who are only using our phones? Right now I just use iMovie for iPhone. Thanks!

[@Worthfishing]

Sam Says Luma fusion for the iPhone its 29 bucks but worth it.

[@ElGringoSam]

@@Worthfishing Thanks I'll be sure to check it out!

[@jmunoz113]

Hi, did you used a flat profile for this samples?

[@JCDogpain]

This is pretty cool.. i felt so knowledgable.. about color grading.. but i still need to apply it. Thanks buddy.. you are a life saviour.. apepeace! #bisdakincanada

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

On your Waveform monitor - Luma - do you use the 7.5 IRE setup or the Studio RGB (16 to 235) setting? Also, do you not look at the Histogram while doing this? Thanks, Chuck : +)

[@grahamhowes6904]

Novice Question for you - I have been given some already edited footage which captures our play and which we want to stream - the trouble is one camera is significantly darker than the other two - I have ascertained that I can unpick the edit in Final Cut Pro but just need a fast novice way to balance the darker shots with the lighter. Preferably without having to lighten laboriously each clip. Editor doesn’t know what else to do - so as ever it is long suffering (poor me) that has to fix it ... I can see that this video answers some of the questions but I don't relish unpicking a2 hour digital file to correct every dark shot.

[@garregalen83]

A really really basic tutorial for editing would be nice.

[@tommygraham1990]

how do I get to those tools in final cut?

[@heatherpedersen8209]

Sorry, this is a silly question. Is this part of Premiere Pro?

[@IZAAMART]

any free editor apps that can do this?

[@muhdhadi9186]

what sofeware you use?

[@spl1949]

A little confusing. The title says "color correction" but the term "grading" is used extensively throughout then tutorial. I've heard they aren't the same thing but this makes it seem as if they are. Can you explain? Thanks.
