[@mecdot525]

This is the best tutorial on self making Teal and Orange instead of relying on LUTS. Keep it up on showing in all 3 Applications. Your teaching is the best. Thanks a lot.

Wow, so this is the orange and teal look I'd been trying so hard to learn. This is the best video of it's kind in my opinion. Thanks man

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks so much Samuel!!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Now this is the most straight forward and easy to follow colour grading tutorial I've seen! I did not know about the mask tool for skin tones in premiere!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks so much Chris! Glad you got a lot out of it!!

[@ascrack9932]

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

[@mwcdls]

This is by far the best and easiest way. Not to mention the most versatile. HUGE THANKS!

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 !

Sir please give me this luts

[@AM2PMReviews]

How did he save these as presets? I didn’t see that

[@jessejdelgado]

AM2PM when you have the color tab open it will be at the bottom. If not, check what version FCPX you have

[@dogflirt]

I cannot begin to tell you how DOPE this video is. Seriously. This is an ACTUAL game changer. Crazy no one else is talking about this on YT. Thank you Denver!!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thrilled to hear that Chris!

[@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 :)

[@grmp1992]

After months of studying how to make color grading look more natural, I learned it in just 7 minutes, thank you so muchhh!!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Happy to help!

[@saeedrichardson]

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.

[@knucklesbyname]

You're a great teacher. Such a simple tutorial makes you think how much time it took you to turn it from complex to easy. You are a brilliant teacher. Thank you so much!

[@colorgradingcentral]

Thanks so much!!

[@romariogreen4587]

I'd feel bad if I leave this video without liking and subscribing...this really helped

[@shotokantiger1024]

What a huge difference it makes with this Teal and Orange trick that too without LUTS. You make it look so easy, but for novices like me, it will take some time.

[@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

[@BASEDinMaine]

I have never seen the adjustment layer recommendation for color correcting multiple clips in premiere until now...I'm super grateful!

"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.

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.
