Hey all! Hope you are doing good :) Here is how I color grade my videos using Lumetri Color in Premiere Pro. LMK if you have any further questions.

[@elikitch]

I know I'm 5 months late on this but as someone who is just getting into videography for ironically a trip to iceland this winter, this has been a lifesaver! All the other youtubers are just like "buy my course!" or "just kinda mess around with it till you like it". This is real information that I can use as a starting point. Well done sir!

[@luxnoelleproductions]

I agree with all these comments. I’ve watched 10 videos on color grading, correcting and adding Luts and none of them have broke it down and explained well what I’m looking at. Thank you so much man this helps a ton

[@nothingventuredvideography]

The luma vs sat is what I've been looking for forever! This is the perfect touch.

[@mgyeri]

Thank you for this tutorial!! Just as I am getting into videography with my sony a6400 you bring these awesome detailed tutorials. I can't thank you enough!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you for your support 😊

[@dan_mov]

Thank you for the helpful video mate, best colorgrading tutorial I found on YT. Also u got a nice accent :)

Great tutorial, very helpful Btw love the accent and you are so pretty

[@Ureyeuh]

Getting back into shooting and I value your content a lot. As a fellow fair skinned "Is that your natural hair color???" man, I loved how your LUTs looked and snagged some of the non-free ones. Cheers from the midwest in America.

[@jaysvlog9803]

I was just researching this all night! Thank you!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Awesome! 😊

[@levslabs]

Haha you seem like a natural on camera really friendly face and seem to be enjoying it KZbin is perfect for you - thanks for the help

Many thanks my guy ☺️👌🏻

[@lasentpicturez416]

best colour grading tutorial ever.......believe me ive watched many......love from ke

[@J0SHUAKANE]

Based on the title alone, this is the best color grading tutorial. You didnt use buzz words like "best" or "like a pro", just how you do it & why, which is all any tutorial can really be.

[@IamPills]

I enjoyed your video man, good job mate.

[@thaticelandicguy]

🙏

[@CoryCould]

3 minutes in and ive learned more than the last 5 videos i watched lol. great vid dood

[@thaticelandicguy]

That makes me happy!

[@randverserence690]

This is a stellar tutorial man, love how easy it is to understand and really enjoy the overall tone of it. Just recently found your channel as I was trouble shooting a project and they have helped immensely. The one question I have comes from the last bit with the second layer of color grading. Do you then animate that masking layer to follow the subject or just leave it as it?

[@thaticelandicguy]

hey thank you Randver! So that will depend on how you want to do it and how much effort you want and need to put in. If the subject is moving and you want it to be perfect, then you'd want to key frame for sure. In the studio I just keep it as is :) But for many 3-10sec clips that are moving and I want to make this effect, then I key frame.

[@randverserence690]

@@thaticelandicguy Thanks for the reply and the insight, will keep working through your videos. No idea how I missed your channel this whole time. Keep up the good work.

[@thaticelandicguy]

really appreciate it! :)

[@fernandomolin4996]

Love it, mostly easy to understand. I am however, a little confused exactly WHEN you color correct and WHEN you color grading. I know it sounds stupid but I am new to this, so I need people to speak to me like I'm 5 years old. I also have the patience of a 5 year old, but that is my problem, not yours hahah. Over all WELL DONE, Smaked the like botton!

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thanks for smacking that like button Fernando! So basically you color correct the image before you color grade. The act of color correction is to make the footage look normal, just like in everyday life. The act of color grading to to grade the footage in any way you want to get a specific feeling and tones to it based on what mood you're trying to achieve. Makes sense?

[@MiguelClimbs]

The best color grading video that I'll watch in 2022. I know this because I'm from the future.

Thanks for the tutorial, this was super helpful! Quick question: How much sharpening do you add in post, and how much detail do you remove when shooting in Cine4 or do you keep detail levels at 0?

[@DsFIlms-q3x]

-7

[@BackpackingVideos]

@@DsFIlms-q3x so -7 in camera and how much sharpening in post?

[@faithscafe]

QUESTION! : at the very end, when you discuss the lumetri color mask for the mask. when i made my circle around the face and tried to adjust the whites, the whole image still changed the whites (not just the selected area for the face). Why is this? Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@marlonfelipe978]

WOW MAN

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

does it matter with software you use to color grade, can you get the same look in premier as in davinci?

[@siwoo8209]

WOW! I LIKE IT.😍

[@thaticelandicguy]

Thank you! 😊

[@diompos]

very nice video and thank you for the valuable help in the correct use of the premiere. Can you tell me with what settings to videotape on sony a6400? (resolution, speed, profile, etc.) Thanks!

[@concernedandequal1928]

After a recent update, all the options have disappeared from the top Home bar (Learning, Assembly, Editing, Color,... etc). It's really frustrating to have to go to "Window" "Work space" and press color. Anyone know how to customize that top Home bar?

[@thaticelandicguy]

Noticed that update as well, I don't like it. I loved how quick it was to switch between workspaces

[@abdallaboss23]

Your layout view screen have rectangle grid to so how do you do it?
