I wish I could get those tasty colors onto my footage!" well, now you can! In this video, I show you how to steal the color-grading from any scene and export them as a LUT to use on your footage!

** For some reason this video has blown up out of nowhere, and it's been brought to my attention that the method is the same as that in a video by a channel called PiXimperfect. I have since checked and while yes, the method is the same, I can assure you that prior to making this video, I had not seen his video on this subject. We live in a world where parallel thinking is a very real thing, with this being a solid example of such things. With that in mind, if you'd like to see his video, you can do so here: • Steal the Color Gradin... he arguably does a far better job of explaining this than I do. Also, I won't be responding to any further comments accusing me of "stealing" this video.**

I'm not even working on anything like this but I found this technique to be pretty amazing and I love the creativity by people like you in the community. Keep being helpful! Thanks for the vid.

[@VapourtrailphotographyCoUk]

This is really interesting, and you manage to pitch it at just the right level to be clear without being patronising. Good work, you've gained a subscriber :)

[@jocelynm9212]

You probably have one of the best working knowledge of photoshop I've ever seen. More importantly, you have a lovely way of teaching without over speaking. Excellent!

[@ProlexMedia]

This is Impressive! Great job on giving such an easy explanation of this process! We think that it is insanely popular for photographers to make photographs that refer to movies, so thank you for providing us with this tutorial!

[@chrishenson4450]

I've been using Photoshop for 20+ years and Premiere for about 8 and I learned more in the last 13 minutes than in the last three years. Well done.

[@vanchi2351]

Wow thank you so much. I've been wonder what do they use movie color template for. Now i know how to cop these amazing color gradings for my photos

[@SynysterNick]

That was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on KZbin! Thank you so much!!!

[@BestPlayedLoudLtd]

Tried this and selected 10 colours to create the palette and it works much better as you're inputting more detail of specific colours to the image from the previous one

[@DarioToledo]

Didn't know about that double-click color picker on the Curves panel, and I've always been looking for a function like that one. Thanks!

[@davidkusko3370]

Great Tutorial! Very easy to follow and you really went slow enough to create a lut along with the tutorial. Great job! Thank you very much.

[@2-ez]

Probably the best Color Grading tutorial. Great great work. Much thanks!

[@cesardeltoro2364]

Thank you, your color grading tutorial and saves for the luts are really awesome. keep doing tutorials, you're great.

[@danielerasmus2436]

Dude, a tutorial where I don’t have to skip through a long irrelevant intro, I like you already! I’m not using this for movie grades but stealing the grading from movies for fashion editorial pics. Many thanks homie!

[@Jacobooze]

Genius, thank you so much for teaching this! Super easy to follow along and memorize. I salute you!

[@thesundaynguyen]

Thanks so much for this tutorial!! This is exactly what I wanted and you did a great job explaining everything

Not at all what I expected. This is brilliant - thanks for sharing!

[@_MasonSummers]

Thanks dude! 👍

O.K. I will copy the link to this amazing tutorial. And save it because I will definitely come back to use this for a story telling video. Thanks for this clear and outstanding tutorial.

[@andrewjohnson1800]

Amazing! Great work around and you explained this so well!! Loved your video and learned something so so valuable. And agreed, the Martian looks dope af

This is so helpful, can’t wait to having fun with this. Thanks!

[@mertkoc5975]

Mason so nice! I am trying to improve my 3D art skills and always stuck when its about light, color and other stuff. This is really nice way to mimic good scenes

pulled from @UCMrvLMUITAImCHMOhX88PYQ so he's good at copying ;)

This is brilliant Mason! Thank you so much!

[@captainlilac4359]

Great tutorial! Used it and loved it, super helpful and one of the best

[@ArthurKonze]

Sorry to say, but this method is not really a good choice. Doing it the way described in the video does work on monchromatic color grades like in the Marsian (all orange) or Matrix (all green). But if you have more colors like the classical teal and orange look i.e. this does not work.

[@JoshRafG]

I also have this in mind

[@radityavisuals]

That makes sense yea

Great use of those tools/options to get to a nice end result. Thanks for the tips mate.

[@LiamWoodShots]

I’m going to test this out and take the colour grading from Dark - those tones are dope

[@DarinRowley]

This was supremely helpful. You made a follower out of me. Thanks Mason.

[@sygad1]

cheers for that, some interesting things i've learned about Ps and Pr, i'll give it a go and see how it looks over a variety of clips

[@Skbeuker]

That was awesome! Thank you for the tutorial. Easy color grading yess

[@theguitarnoobph]

"It's really super simple." That brings a smile all the time for beginners like me. So, thank you.

Fantastic !!!! Darkest hours is one of my favorite color graded film. It also has a lot to do with the lighting

[@_MasonSummers]

Absolutely! Filmmaking is 85%+ about the lighting!

[@MarcParisel]

Mason Summers so true it’s my challenge for 2020: make my own movie with a great lightning set up ;) cheers and thank you for he great content

[@aistemusic]

You're genius! This blew my mind!!!

[@DSLRPixelStudio]

Really great stuff man you gave me lots of ideas, thanks!

[@xradical89x]

Damn boi! This was wicked! Thanks for the tutorial

[@linusfotograf]

To me, the final image just looks orange and monochrome. Doesn't give me an idea of how this would work on photos with...stuff in it.

[@omnirhythm]

It wouldn't work, there's a lot more fiddling to be done as well as masking stuff in the photo as you don't want everything to appear colourized. It's a color guide at best.

[@elonlove343]

How often will you use a mars effect lol? Don't think of it that way. You can use the method he showed to replicate any color grade from any movie.

[@elonlove343]

@KolTony It actually does work because you're taking the exact colors from the image itself. Now the problem with that is you're taking away the human eye. That is why afterwards you have to tweak it. Color grade it. Play with it. Mess around with it to try to make it your own look. But copying a movies colors gives you a base to play with.

[@elonlove343]

@KolTony I get what you're saying but I'm saying this method scientifically gives you the closest thing to the exact colors used in your favorite movies. Now can you just drag and drop to every video and will it work? Ofcourse not. But if you've been using photoshop for a long time this method takes like 2 mins. And for color grading photoshop is a lot better than lightroom especially if you're color grading for video.

[@bluerabbit1236]

@@elonlove343 Dude stop arguing like an idiot. If I need all that tweaking why would I do this at all you door knob. Also nowhere in video it says you gotta be an expert in Photoshop to do this. Shut your nonsense hole.

[@michaelanderberg]

Great information, thanks! You’ve gained a subscriber!

[@MertBert]

That's a really easy photo to use. It would be a bigger tip if you were to use it on a Photo containing skin tones and see what extra effort needed to be added in order to completely mimic the look (separating the skin tones is a huge deal).

[@hamidvisuals]

Genius tutorial man, i am making a short film inspired by blade runner so this technique will really help me to color grade the shots.
