Color Grading in Premiere Pro CC - Get Pro Film Look

Color grading in Premiere Pro CC to get a pro film look

If you you're looking to make the look of your films standout and get your career to the next level but struggle with the color grading aspect... let this tutorial help you finally feel like you have a good grasp on making your images to look the way that you want them to and get a pro film look!

I have been where you have been and so I know that it can seem intimidating with all the different color correction tutorials and LUTs that are out there. Muddy looking images, shots that down't match together, skin tones that don't look quite right and that feeling of not knowing where to stop or when the grade looks right.

You can do it! Even if you're just a beginner or just starting out let this tutorial help you feel confident in Premiere Pro CC!

After I had tried everything to improve the look of my films, e.g. new camera, better grip, better lenses and cinematography training, the thing that finally helped my films look professional and land my first career job was what I did after the video edit in the color grade.

Adobe Premiere has made great strides not only advancing their editorial platform but in improving their color tools. In fact with the acquisition of Iridis SpeedGrade (a professional grading system) they have incorporated those industry standard tools now into Lumetri.

If you liked this tutorial and want a step-by-step training that goes all the way from familiarizing yourself with the tools to discovering the top grading secrets I want to invite you to free online workshop:

So i have been editing my videos a lot and basically never understood the fundamentals of Color, this is the 1st video I learned something super cool. Thanks

By far, the best premiere tutorial I've ever seen here on Youtube.

Loving the tempo, the information and the way you clearly explain everything in detail without being redundant / repetitive. Subbed!

[ryanhall]

Colour grading has always seemed so complex to me. Even in uni, they had us watching YouTube tutorials to help show us how it's done, and it never seemed like something I could do. Thank you for simplifying it like this, huge help with my current project!

[nagarat]

I've been trying to develop a specific style for all of my films and learning the basics of color correction like this is a HUGE help! Thank you!

[HibiscusfamilyKE]

The best color grading tutorial I have watched since four years ago. I did not give up on trying to find a tutorial that made it look so simple. Thank you brother.

[MandyNyunyu]

I absolutely learned so much in this short video! I used to increase and decrease the corrections manually for every single clip. Glad I found out that I can actually copy paste it and how to use the adjustment layers. Great video for beginners, super easy to understand. Thank you so much for this!

[JAMEYX]

This is the first color correcting/grading video where I actually understood and learned something. Also the only one that finally taught me how to pop the skin tones so that you can get that orange teal look without it looking like an entire image tint. Thank you.

[ImJeanGaming]

I wanted to begin editing a short film my friend and I made over last weekend. I knew nothing about color grading going into this, except that it makes film look good. Now, I feel ready to attack the panels and dials to ensure a solid finished product. Thank you so much.

[GuitarGrind]

This video is color grading gold. I'm coming back to this every time for every video I make.

[toyinolayemi]
