Basic Color Correction Tips

 
 

Your filmmaking questions answered! Here's some answers to your questions for this month's film Q&A!

This month Lalita asks "How do you color correct a video? Do you have to do it frame by frame, because that sound very time consuming. Or is it built into all video editing programs?" Great question Lalita!

To answer Lalita's question, I'll show you how to do basic color correction step by step in Adobe Premiere Pro Lumetri Color. But if you don't have Premiere Pro, don't worry because these basic color correction and grading tips should work in any editing software. I'll show you how to color correct skin tones, how to white balance your clips, and how to read Lumetri scopes in premiere. Plus color grading for beginners in premiere pro tips for those of you using premiere pro color correction.

My color correction beginners guide will give you everything you need to start color correcting your film like a pro! You might even say a Premiere Pro! ;) Hope my tips on how to color correct help!
