If you want to get better at color grading you have to be color correcting. Remember to always color correct first in Premiere or Final Cut using whatever tools that work for your workflow and then color grade after.
Last week to enter the giveaway for the Fujifilm X-T30! Best of luck 🙏
Nice
Good Luck Everyone !!
Oufff......hot and ya good luck to everyone
Really awesome! best of luck to everyone and awesome video👍
Already did! Crossing my fingers!
So excited you made this. Was just telling my team to reference your channel for colour 🙏🏼
One of the most helpful videos I’ve watched. Awesome work, man!
Me tooo
Finally someone who properly explains the color grading. I thought people just color correct "as they please" and "eye ball" it, but your explanation of bumping the blacks, highlights and shadows makes sense to me. Thank you very much.
This video just goes so deep down in details! I have seen lots of color grading by Daniel and Peter, and they do cover every step we need to do regarding color correction and color grading but somehow I just don't understand why they did that. Thank you so much Matti for breaking everything down and layed them out in order, the puzzle in my head has finally been solved. I really appreciate the effort you put in for those content!
Beautiful color grading! One of my favorite CZcamsr! Thanks for teaching us some awesome tips. 📷
omg mam ericks here ! WOW
Correcting*
Loving all your vids lately Matti. We've learnt so much about filmmaking from yourself, Peter and Darious. We're complete beginners but have taken what we've learnt so far and started vloging our travels. So much of what we've learnt from you guys has gone into our vids so keep the good stuff coming 👌
So good! 🙌🏻
Sir.. every month I come back to watch this video again and every time I get a new perspective and get a much deeper understanding. I have grasped very much out of what you've been teaching so far and it's so so practically re-creatable .. I can go back and try the same thing and it works for real as you've shown in the video... I really appreciate and thank you deeply for making this video.
The Ansel Adams chart is the solution I've been searching for for months. THANK YOU.
Great tips thank you Matti
This was amazing Matti! This is something I've been spending a lot of time trying to get good at lately.
This is the absolute best tutorial I've seen on color grading/correct, thank you! I bought Magic Bullet (Colorista) 4 months ago and have never used it until I watched this video and now I feel like I'm actually able to truly color correct and make the frames look consistent! Thanks Matti!
Small tweaks go a long way in color correcting. That's the biggest take away from this video for sure. Thanks for sharing your updated workflow Matti!
I started following you when you first made a video about colour grading. Full circles Matti. I've grown so much because of you. It's epic 😍
If you don't have Colorista, you can still manage your color wheels before your LUT if you have two Lumetri Color effects placed on your footage! :)
wakeuptoryan I’m surprise this wasn’t mentioned in the video.
This is what I was thinking too, or just use an adjustment layer?
I've never added Lumitri as an effect. I just go to the color tab. Is the reason to do that because of what you said? So you can add a Lumitri effect, work with the color wheels so they show up first, then add another Lumitri effect for further edits?
@@suprap7 I usually use several instances of Lumetri as separate effects. It is definitely worth exploring using it as an effect multiple times on your grade. ESPECIALLY if you are into making masks. You can dedicate a whole instance of Lumetri to work in or outside of a mask you draw with desired exposure and color adjustments and then use a SEPARATE ADDITIONAL instance of Lumetri where it has no mask and affects the entire image.
@@AshvonChamier interesting. OK, thank you for the information. Maybe I will have to start exploring with this more.
That line running between R and Y on your vector scope is the flesh/skin tone indicator. No matter how dark or light a persons skin is, it should always fall on that line (or ~ 1 to 2 degrees to the left or right).
Nate Follmer I used to run an old school rank cintel with da Vinci desk. First thing I learnt, where to place skin tones on the vector scope.
This walkthrough is phenomenal!! I’ve always wondered how certain photographers get rich beautiful colors in their photos ✨ this is everything I’ve been looking for!!
Definitely needed this! Thanks again Matti for pushing the creative world to up their game :) ♡
Thanks Matti for inspiring me to get into youtube!
Your videos are super useful
Thanks dude 🙏🏻
Hey Matti, how about if I add Lumetri twice for getting those color wheels before adding Look?
sir aap english videos editing videos bhi dekhtein hain na
That's exactly what I was thinking. It should work just fine to add Lumetri a few times and have the first (and last) instances take the place of Colorista for color correction.
I've watched about 100 tutorials on this specific task and I have to say yours was the best. Great job!
That was a really good tutorial Matti. It was easy to follow. Showing the zoom ins of the wheel/scope your working on was a nice touch.
You're very good at color correcting / grading! I always like the look of your footage ;)
Color grading takes time and I'm still learning how to be consistent. No matter what you still need to keep making videos and at the same time keep learning how to get better at the technical aspects such as color grading. I've learned alot from Matti and like he said it takes time to get really good at color grading and etc. Thanks for the valuable tips Matti👍🏻
Damn glad to be here Matti, I've recently gotten into video and your help has really kickstarted everything, I've only done a few videos so far but the feedback I get is insane! Thank you so much!
Color correcting/grading is my achilles heel. This was awesome... super helpful! Thank you!
Always nice to learn more !
I love to *color correct my footage* !
Thanks for sharing Matti !
Have a nice day !
And yes, Skintones are the most important part of your color correction !
If the skins donc look good, your footage will not look good either..
🙌🏻
I do enjoy your channel. Everyone seems to know the basics and it's great to see how others do theirs. What I love about this is that everyone agrees that There is no wrong or right method. Love creating!
Thanks for this Matti! I love how simple you make all the details!
Hey Matti, here are some tips that can add to what you recommended. Hope they help. Tell me what you think:
- Use Adjustment layers so that you can visually see in your timeline what you have done. Also by using one big adjustment layer and cutting it in-between clips AFTER you corrected 1 hero shot, means that your sliders/values will already be adjusted and if you need to make 1 minor correction, you don't have to move 10 values or copy paste the effect every time and change it.
- (For Grading especially) Set these Adjustment layers to 50% opacity. This has 2 benefits:
1. If you're in a hurry and you don't want to tweak each individual slider to bump your grade effect, you can always turn up that opacity from 50 to 60. Before you could always go lower, but not higher than 100. (obviously this is for your own grade with multiple effects, since the Luts already have this kind of slider)
2. If you are a perfectionist and want to tweak values (like curves) juuuuust by 2 pixels lower or higher, having the opacity at 50 means that those 2 pixels become 4, so it's less finicky when you do this with a mouse.
- If you want to mess with colors for a grade, be sure to grab a JPG of a "color card" (google it), or better yet, shoot one on your location and add it under your grade. You can visually see what it's doing to the colors and it's a nice reference to keep until you make your final export (at that point you remove it, obviously)
- Don't underestimate the Original Three-Way Color Corrector Effect from Premiere. It is not obsolete, as they call it. It's pretty much the ONLY effect that has color wheels that let you determine WHAT IS a shadow and WHAT IS a highlight through sliders. Furthermore, it has actual numerical values that you can even keyframe: When I'm going for a look I always bump my color to the max, so that I can see if i'm nailing it in the vectorscope, and then take the value from 100 to like 20, while the Hue remains the same. And before Premiere 2019 it was also the only tool that let you De/Saturate Highlights, Mids, Shadows separately (again those Highs and Shadows being determined by you as you liked). And for people that don't have Colorista, I think this can help them more than the default Lumetri wheels.
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Thanks!
Awesome! :)
Awesome, thanks!
you should make a own video about it :)
Really nice tutorial, always loved the way you explain your techniques. Keep it up your work is fireee 🔥
Keep up the good work Matti. With all the things in life pulling for my attention I still make the time to learn from your channel.
Never miss a tutorial Matt... This is really helpful. Thank you and great job
Quick note: Using Lumetri alone does not prevent you from having your color wheels activate first before any other corrections. Simply put in a lumetri filter and adjust color wheels to taste, then create another lumetri filter and place it under the first one and continue working from there. You dont need colorista to work in that order.
Ah, I just started to type that but then read this - I'm sure the wheels in Lumetri are not too dissimilar to Colorista. I can't remember what year Lumetri shipped with Premiere but I remember it transforming every thing I did!
Talk about timing! Last couple of days I´ve been binge watching videos about color correction. 😅👌
Haha perfect
@@mattih Actually been using the trial on Colorista IV and I´m totally buying it. It´s such an amazing tool. Thanks again for a great video! 🙌🙂
@@TheKekke Same!
Thank you for a great tutorial. I've been just using Lumetri and only once per clip. I was color correcting AND creating a look in the same effect. Mostly using curves. I learned a ton from this video. Thank you!
Thanks Matti!! Looking at the color wheels and vector scopes has helped me tremendously. I am color blind so seeing variations in skin tones is very hard for me. While I can recognize a beautiful image on screen, I have trouble diagnosing the image for myself. This workflow has made the process a bit easier for me. Thank you so much!
Not sure why but I LOVE adding blue to my shadows. Makes the shot look so good :D
I love doing that too but this past year I have been really digging going more warm on everything. There are so many great color options and it all has the potential to be cool. Color grading is one of my favorite parts of the editing process.
I just downloaded your LUTs and they are amazing man! They work in Final Cut Pro X like a champ. Thanks Matti
Český filmmaker? Konečně se necítím jako samotář v téhle komunitě!
RichieLarpa no hoooodně začínající český filmmaker😀
This is wonderful, such a clear and useful short but complete course on making film look good. Thank you.
Love this video Matti! Thanks for sharing your color work process. A lot of basics, but great points 👍
Excellent Tutorial, Thanks Matti!
Extremely helpful video Matti! This really refreshed my memory on the process of color correcting and grading. Thank you for making this!
Such a useful video! We have really struggled in our CZcams set up to have cinematic lighting. We know the theory but setting it up is a different matter! This has definitely helped! Thanks so much 🙏🏼
For me color correcting and grading is the hardest & least enjoyable. 😄 but this video will help a ton! Thanks!
Haha oh I love it. I think when you get better at it it becomes a lot of fun seeing your footage come alive
Thanks Matti - another dope tutorial!
This is interesting, as I remember watching an older colour grading tutorial of yours in which you actually said you prefer applying a grade first (probably on an adjustment layer) and then going back to individually correct each clip so they match.
I'm just wondering, do the new Hue options in Premiere Pro CC 2019 provide any more versatility compared to just basic Lumetri, i.e. anything as close to Colourista?
color correcting is something I started working on. I love high contrast with quite a bit of saturation. I love to have those colors pop! but skin tones I struggle with. I don't want to be orange or washed out in my videos. Thanks for the color correcting tips Matti!
This was the the single greatest lesson in color grading I have ever seen. Thank you Sir!!!!
WOW I don't even have Adobe but I just watched the whole thing - all 13 minutes!
Foto Finn use DaVinci Resolve for Colour grading, it’s free and it’s industry standard
Probably the most useful and educational video I watched by Matti. Good work I needed this bro!
I love how in depth this tutorial is! This helps so much thank you.
I have so much respect for anyone who has the patience to do any of this.
Same thing that I said in one of my videos! You cant just use a LUT on your footage and hope it looks awesome. You need to edit your footage every single time. Great video Matti! :-)
Can you do a tutorial on how to do this in Davinci Resolve please? Your video is extremely helpful but I am having trouble applying these techniques to Davinci Resolve, my image just keeps ending up hazy and their waveform goes from 0 - 1000+.
I am a complete beginner to colour correcting and would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you Matti. Its always neat learning others workflow. Take care and keep on creating.
This is a timely video to drop in; I was just having a chat with a friend about going a step beyond simply 'slapping' a LUT over relatively uncorrected footage. Thanks.
that was one of your best tutorial!
it could be nice if you show how to work with davinci resolve also
thank you again!
Lots of pros prefer Resolve and it is free as well which makes me prefer it.
I watched the whole thing taking notes then he said Colorista is a paid plug-in
Same lol... was super bummed cause now im just sitting here confused on what to do.
@@roar-films You can do the same thingwith regular Lumetri, the tools just aren't that fancy
You can actually just use Davinci Resolve for colo correction and color grading, it`s free and great.
@@roar-films work with da vinci resolve instead lol
if you are a student you can get it for free now
Just beginning my journey and really appreciate how you explained your process and it makes a tonne of sense.
Thanks man!
Love these tips, can’t wait to use them on the shots I’m going out to get this weekend 👍🏼
While I was watching this vid I suddenly remember that I'm color blind ..
RGB Parade is objective!
same .. * feelsbadman *
So sorry to hear...
Rip
I feel sad now. Thanks
There’s a three way colour correction feature in Premiere. You don’t need colourista
There is a colour correction section in Lumetri if you go down in the effects panel. He didnt even mention it.
Since I love the way your videos look, seeing a tutorial from you is GOLD! Thanks a lot 🤩
Awesome content, great advice. The luma tip is extremely helpful. I normally push highlights to 100 and blacks to 0. I also normally use the colour wheel instead of the tint and temperature to colour shift. These tips are time savers.
Matti you should totally do the old intro again just for funzies
I have NO IDEA what's going on here.
me too :(
same....😬
Lol
Likewise
oh wow, I thought it was super clear. What don't you get?
Nice work on breaking CC'ing and CG'ing down. Def answered some questions I had, esp w/ that OG Ansel Adams chart 🎯
Thank you for sharing this Matti. Spot on and the way you've explained is super easy to understand.
Do you really color grade your shots one by one? :O I think I one saw a tutorial of yours in which you suggest using Adjustment Layer on top of all the clips in order to apply your LUTs.
What if I color correct the clip itself and put an adjustment layer on top of all of them in order to apply aLUT? How can I then add the third step?
Hey matti what are your feelings towards davinci resolve?
Hi Matti!! I’m from the Philippines and I always watch your videos that really help me when it comes to photography and camera specs. It will be a big upgrade since i’m just using a Canon 3000d with kit lens and we’re planning to build a production team that could cover events. Thank you very much!! Keep up the very good content! :)
This was timely, Matti! Keep pushing!!! Awesome stuff!
Matti, would you convert SLog footage to Rec 709 before you start color correction?
No. SLog is meant for color correction. Rec 709 is meant for delivering, aka color correcting slog footage TO rec 709 standards. Slog has a wider dynamic range allowing a colorist a bigger playground to color with. Rec 709 does not and is the standard color space for broadcast, thus coloring slog video to rec 709 specifically if it's meant for movie/television.
So much good colour grading content on here lately - every single video helps me raise my game. Forever grateful for gems like these! 🙌 P.S. who was expecting a Matti x Ansel Adams collab?! 😂
Thank you soooo much Matti! I'd been struggling with color correction for a looong while
Thanks for the tips, will definitely take note on making sure to color correct first and then add the Luts as needed 😊👍
Great video!
Can we have the same style of video, but for black skins please!
Actually the same applies for all skin types! =) Since none of us have blue or green tones.
@@klarkolofsson , I do not understand almost nothing about the subject(color grade), so I made the comment. Maybe for the middle/higher experienced is an elementary thing.
how to setp up colorista for imac. can use premier cc 2018?
Colorista is available on MacOs for both Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X.
Is this a free plugin?
Matti is awesome!!! Great job bruh!!! U and Peter inspired me so much, learned tons from both of you!!!
Thanks for all of your videos Matti, I learn so much! Keep them coming.
Brad 2 should watch this
Step 1: washed out
Step 2: perfect
Step 3: ruined
why tho
Your color correction is totally a genius Matti! Thanks for sharing!
You are a legend! I have watched quite a few videos and you have actually finally explained everything so well! Spot on!👌🏼
ok now we need a LUT with Ansel's scale built-in
Ha! That would be interesting if somehow incorporated.
this looks like calculus to me.
Perfect timing Matti, just newly entered trying to learn this stuff!
Thank you SO much for making this plain and simple to understand - vector scopes have always confused the crap outta me.
Excuse me while I re-edit some things...
Hahah 😂
12:00 Andrew Kramer had a friend who didn't like curves. You know what happened to him?
He died
Thanks for the detailed video Matti, this helped me so much!
Such a good explanation: it was clear, not rushed, gave context and demonstrations. I think i finally "get it"! Thanks!

What is this, I dont even... where's the newbies guide?!
One of the tutorials to go through a couple of times at different stages of knowledge ;) already watched 3 times through the year :)
colorista is not exist in my newest version of Premiere Pro 2019
having the same
@@SebastianBuijs you have to buy it
Perfect video for my occasion. Just needed an optimized workflow that reminded me if some fundamental basics. Thanks a ton!
damn bro this was one of the most important tutorials in my lifetime. always struggled a lot with color correction to let it look like now! thank you so much
I appreciate your time and advice on this! I’m super new to learning video editing and color is such a big part in making it look good, thank you!
Super helpful and thankful for your insights Matti!!
