Hey Chris, do you know how to invert the selection in premiere pro?

Been using FCP for 6 years and never noticed we could save applied effects to new presets... I've been using Motion 5 to do it but this is game changing, plus nice tips for teal & orange, thanks man !

[@jessejdelgado]

Just want to say thanks very much for using African Americans with dark skin as example videos. Can't tell you how many video editing tuts and examples I've seen with fairly light complexions and how difficult it can be sometimes with dark skin tones, especially when so much color grading doesn't take that into account. I really appreciate it.

[@jaykiriona]

Wow dude. Great tutorial. The cleanest, slickest, most efficient tutorial out there for this look!

[@shadi5885]

A quick tip for qualifiers! Instead of using the “denoise” function is recommend trying to increase the minimum saturation slider to be ~.2-.7. It does the same thing as reducing the noise but without blurring your overall qualification. Hope this helps someone :)

[@_-_Michael_-_]

Wait, no yelling??? How???

[@letroy7227]

Hey Glen how're you doing?! Do you have any idea on how I could get a better "teal and orange look" on my Metal tone? :3

[@ProjetHomeStudio]

hello glenn :D

[@ConnerFoxx]

Really great tutorial, but I'm a little surprised you guys only presented the "desaturate the shadows with a luma vs sat curve" method as the final step. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can kinda take warmth out of the deep areas of the skin tones, since you're desaturating ALL of the colors in the shadows. It creates more of a grimy urban look that won't work for some projects. The alternative, in this case, is to use some sort of color wheel for shadows to push some orange back into the dark areas. You'll know it's balanced when the shadows read evenly on an RGB parade scope, instead of the blue channel being higher than the others. The difference is extremely visible, and it's really good to be able to go that route if it suits the project. Thank you for the video!

[@geodude4real]

how would you do that ? That sound slike a good idea, but how do you target only the shadows and then add the orange back?

[@ConnerFoxx]

@@geodude4real You can use a color wheel that only targets shadows, or just manipulate the bottom part of the RGB lines on any curves tool

[@judyworkman8805]

Amazing way to get a good picture! Teal and Orange make the pictures look better and it doesn't take too long.

amazing strategy to get the popular orange teal look faster than other methods without the use of LUTs , demonstration is straightforward and top performance , thanks for using a few apps.

"Boom Baby Chicken Lady" The most awesome part in this video. BTW I am a student of Color Grading Central Academy. You always Make thinks so user friendly, my grading has improved a lot since taking your Course. I am an all time Sony A 7 3 User so far.

[@colorgradingcentral]

So glad to hear that KapDx!! The Sony A7 is a great camera!

[@kapdxdrama]

@@colorgradingcentral Yeah I Have Using this Since it's launch. And I am practicing with the Picture profiles. Wish I could get a guide from you regarding the picture profile of Sony. As you know A 7 has a 8 bit color which limits grading to an extent especially considering log footages. although after taking your Course I am confident enough to have a decent output but then also Picture profile is way too important as well.

[@topfelya]

Hi Denver ! 1) Isolate your skin tones and other similar tones then invert the selection 2) Push cool teal colors into the image with the offset/master control After doing step 2 everything is blue on my screen ( Even the skin tones ) What Im doing wrong ? I lost it here 2:49 . I did watched this tutorial numerous times. Im still cannot get it.

[@colorgradingcentral]

Are you sue you inverted your selection on the skin tones? You have to be sure to isolate or qualify everything else but the skin. Also which software are you using?

[@topfelya]

@@colorgradingcentral Thank you for your reply Denver. Im using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16. I did inverted the selection. When I applied teal everything become blue ( with the skin tones) Something missing is missing for me in your video.

[@colorgradingcentral]

@@topfelya send me a screenshot of how your qualifier looks to you to [e-mail] also make sure the 'highlight' feature is turned off.

Absolutely agree although that part of isolating the skintones from the rest of the image and reversing it went a little too fast for me tbh.
