Dude honestly.. Even though your tutorials might not technically be the most accurate or perfect, I like them so much.. I always want my videos to look good, but I don’t really want to invest hours in color grading one clip, and have it be as accurate as possible.. Most people that watch YouTube don’t care anyway, as long as it’s pleasing to the eye, it’s ok., So that’s why I love your videos 😅

Thx for brushing up on what I've forgotten

[aimAssistPC]

That helped. Thank you! Very good and helpful video.

That was so good. The difference colour grading makes is immense and you explained it in a very simple way.

I have a question tho-
What font are you using and what shade of yellow is this?

Great Tutorial man, but I have an issue I'm facing. As I'm directly correcting the skin tone and take the [FX] off (same as the eye icon ) on the opacity for mask, The color correction is affecting the entire video instead of the skin tone itself, how can I prevent that? Thanks in advance. And in my case, this is a darker skin tone.

So amazing I wish I could break down the color like this for photos! Can I does anyone know ??

Good video with good information but visualy, the flashing white border you have around your active window really detracts from being able to see the changes you’re making. I think just because it’s too bright. 🤷‍♂️

My pencil just brings the shape but no mask what should i do

[EssanceFilms]

When I mark the skin with the opacity marker, it wouldn't isolate? How do I do so?

how come all the industry of color grade uses this absolutely hideous vector scope, that thing is the most inaccurate thing ever made, is literately a 1 pixel line, that you cant zoom in into, and you try to adjust a blob of white stuff into it ? how that can make sense ?
