Hi, I'm Patrick, welcome to my tutorial series.
We're right in Premiere CC, let's see, version 721, okay, I have my card here, just a few
make-up tests and we try to create this little clip here.
First I will make a new folder, a new bin to clean up the room here a little bit, I call
it tutorial and I have an empty bin and it's nice and clear and I see everything here.
Okay, now I want to create an adjustment layer, I will use that later in speedgrade because
speedgrade at the moment you can't create an adjustment layer in speedgrade, I think
this will be included in one of the next versions of speedgrade but now you have to create the
adjustment layer in Premiere, okay and I will call this look 1 for example.
Now I drag this adjustment layer over my little clip here in the video track 2 and that's
it for now, save it and go to direct link to Adobe speedgrade and he wants to save the
project again, yes do that, Premiere closes the project, speedgrade opens automatically
and opens the project, the Premiere project and here it is, so here is my clip, here is
my timeline and this is my adjustment layer, I want to correct, color correct my clip here
now, not the look, not the adjustment layer but I call it look 1 here, okay so first thing
let's take a look at the color temperature, I want it a little cooler, yes that's a bit
better, it's always good to have a neutral base and or record your material as neutral
as possible because you can create it in any kind of color if you want but to create the
correct or wrong color temperature is just a pain in the ass, okay so that looks okay
maybe I want to gamma a little higher, just a little bit and a little bit the mid tones,
the mid tones gain so I have a little more contrasty image from which I start, okay so
this will be the corrected neutral look and now for my final grading film look or my grading
look I will click on the adjustment layer and now I will create, just create any look
I want I crush the blacks for example, I turn up the gamma and the gain from the mid tones
turn down the highlights for example so I don't have this too hot highlights, okay maybe
give a little bluish tone in the darks like this and desaturate the input saturation of
the shadows, okay like this and then go to the mid tones and do a little warmer gain
here and then for example again turn down the input saturation and make a little old style
look here, okay yes that looks okay, maybe the highlights are too white, maybe I colorized
the highlights a bit, a little bit into orange something like this, turn them down a bit,
turn them offset here, the highlights just colorize the highlights a bit, okay that looks
good enough for now, okay this was my original imported look and this is my graded look,
if this is the look I want, just save the project, I go to this button up here, the
direct link to Adobe Premiere Pro, press it, he wants to save the project again, save the
project, opens the project in Premiere and now I have the graded clip in Premiere, the
reason why I have graded the adjustment layer is because I can move it around and this clip
I have the lumetri effect and I can turn on and off the correction, that's just the color
correction to make the material neutral, then I have my adjustment layer here and this is
creating my look and this has the adjustment layer, just have the lumetri effect on it,
the flexibility here is I can just resize the adjustment layer to all of my clips or
to some of my clips and the look is automatically on all the clips, okay so that's it for the
quick tutorial how to color grade and correct in Premiere CC with Speedgrade CC, thanks
for watching and don't forget to visit my blog.
