Hi Premiere Gal, we are good students of your tutorial. Just one thing after getting skin tones, focus, good prime lens, good exposure, and shooting flat profile with beautiful color and grading.... we are wondering, Dear Gal, how to achieve an image hat looks like H.E.R in this example video? Any help please? Very clear, smooth, looks photoshopped... kind of video you know, See Smile ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4oseK1D6ru0.html
You have become my GO-TO for how to do things with Premier Pro as I continue to learn and grow my skills as I capture video and edit it into projects for our church's online worship services. Your tutorials are clear, expertly explained, and illustrated so well with your step-by-step examples. Thank you so much for helping my videos to look SO much better.
Hie I Gal Iam a Cinematographer from Kenya africa the way you teach your tips made me change my career from being a teacher to what Iam today.i have been following each skill keenly that has up my game to a professional leve.l really appreciate your awesome tips that are easley understandable,surely you really made my career being enjoyable. †*****************************""""""""""" I totaly need that camera so as to be able to tell stories to generations hence giving back to the community and impacting careers . #Premier Gal to to Africa
Kelsey, simply awesome stuff! I have been using Canon Log for many years and I always use the Canon Lut as an add on adjustment layer. I had no idea you could use the Curve to bring the exposure back to where it's needed. This to me is so much cleaner because sometimes if I over or underexpose the LUT is neutral in its settings so it doesn't correct for my over/under. The Luma Waveform scope getting as close to 100 and 0 will fix just about all exposures (assuming you don't totally goof it up). So now, I just saved a ton of time by not needing that adjustment layer and all the post production movement they require when I am in my editing mode for alignment (sound) of multiple camera clips. I also wanted to say that I would have used your neck or arm skin to do the skin color adjustment (assuming you may have been wearing just a small amount of maybelline foundation) to avoid any coloring confusion for the scope. That way, you are getting clear skin tones. I never thought to pull in some of the tones that were slightly off center using that Hue vs Hue technique. That was dope! Thanks for the reminder to spend more time in advance to get the white balance in camera versus post. It makes a huge difference and I have two assistants that often fail to keep up with the white balance like I do so I am spending so much time editing their video content for better white balance. I will try to do a better job of teaching them and reminding them to set it each time the lighting changes! You do a fine job of presenting solid learning lessons. Thank you and keep it coming!
very nice info, I have learned the hard way the importance, since I often use multiple cameras in single shootings, custom white balance all cameras. After all the lights are in position and on, I put a large white card near subject and zoom in to fill screen with white, then do custom white balance on each camera. it is nearly impossible to match all the cameras in post without this step. best to you all
2020 is the year I started my editing journey. I've been in the film industry for over 30 years when all of my work went completely away because of the pandemic.... I taught myself to edit that year which led me to more work than I know what to do with. My editing & filming are still a bit elementary, but I am committed to bringing my clients a better product. All of this is thanks to you and others who graciously share your knowledge & expertise. Your style is easy to follow and I can't thank you enough for sharing. I can't wait to learn more from You.
so refreshing to see a tutorial with someone who didn't overedit their video. it has become a lot more common to absolutely flood videos with too much while decreasing the content quality. thanks 😊
My picks for learning Premiere Tips is Gal and Photoshop is Unmesh Dinda. Both of you explain things very well , clearly and at a great pace. Keep on rocking !
I had always a white balance problem in shooting & Editing in premiere, But after watching this video I got the simple solution for my problem & not only this but many others. Thank you so much.
Color correction has been a small obsession with me. Always trying to learn more about it. I’ve been using fast color corrector for adjusting the angle, but love the tip on using hue v hue to tighten the angle. Going to share with my team which will make me look really smart...but I’ll ultimately give you the credit. 😁 Thanks!
The way she teach all this stuff is so smooth that me personally having a hard time explaining it to my students lol. btw great content thanks for this and hoping for more content like this, More power! and Stay safe.. Love from PH
Great vid Kelsey! I've watched almost a dozen of your tutorials in the last week or so and have learned at least one new thing in each of them! I didn't know what lumetri scopes was until this video and now I've got to do a deep dive to learn more! I was also today years old when I learned from you to shoot in Log mode, which if I understand correctly, is kind of like shooting RAW but for video! Great explanations all around! Cheers!
You've done it again, Gal! You have explained and made it easy for me to understand how to match skin color with multiple cameras, thank you very much!
Hey Kelsey, nice tutorial - very clear & detailed! I have a question though. While using the mask to isolate the skin is great for reading the scopes, wouldn't the colour adjustments made end up actually affecting the entire picture though, as we saw with your lips? In which case, would it not be better to use the colour picker tool in the HSL tab to physically select the skin only and therefore any further colour adjustments would only affect the skin?
I'm so happy you revisited color grading you did in this video. Your past videos have helped me so much when I started color grading/fixing. I now realize I need to start using a LUT... Thanks!!
Another great and useful video! These days, when I'm searching for any Pr lessons in RU-vid, I use a common keyword. My searches look like this: Color correction premiere gal Mask premiere gal Transitions premiere gal Sometimes, just 'premiere gal' Hope to apply the learnings on my own travel video footages rather than on the stock videos after getting the action camera 😅 *royalty free hopeful music plays in the background*
Gal, i love all your videos. I've learned so much. you've made me a much better editor. I'm not sure if you've addressed this before but i have a student who is color blind. He's a good editor but of course it's the one thing that will keep him from ever becoming a great editor. Do you have any advice for him. I'd love to see him really make something of himself once he gets out into the real world. Thanks again. You're awesome!
Thanks for all the pointers, Gal. Since I am using a 'point and shoot' Sony BionzX I appreciate all the post production tutorials for correcting and fine tuning the shots. Though most my work is for personal use, I am starting to help some non-profits with little projects and I am glad to get details on how to make it all better.
Well along in my career, 15 years removed from the edit console, and I find myself back in the job market. Converting a career’s worth of visual knowledge into to the language and functionality of Premiere was intimidating until I found your channel. I enjoy for tutorials and the easy, relaxed way you explain activities. Thank you.
C-log is a topic I haven’t seen covered before. Great tip, because you always want to have as much info as possible in the original video file to manipulate and tweak in post! 🤘🏻
Thank you! Can you do an update of this video with a workflow from iPhone media? Maybe 4K and Cinematic together in same video. I think it would get a huge response. A good majority of non professionals out there shoot with their phone and not a DSLR or Cinema camera. Thank you for your videos.
Hi Gal, I recently started using Premiere pro after over 10 years. I've been scared to try it again since I didn't know how far advanced it would be. And I did recently, edited a full project that was approved without too many changes, and immediately got interested in color correcting and grading. Guess whose channel I found first 😁. PS: As a motion graphic designer, I can attest to how great Envato elements come through for me.
Thanks for the video, I would have liked to see what the second video would look like with the highlights brought down, it seem like it would cost resemble the log video
Going from log to rec 709 I would typically use a utility LUT specific to the camera being used as there's often more happening when to going from log to 709 than just exposure levels, there are often color transforms too. But this grade still looks good anyway. Lot of ways to grill tofu I guess.
Stumbled across this video... And your very very cool calm voice is super easy to listen to and follow along... GREATTTT video... Definately Learned something here... Thank you much 🙏🏽🇹🇹
Color Grading is one of the tricky task in Video Editing! But the way you explained about correcting the skin tones was commendable:) Looking forward to learn more from you✨ Cheers!
Hi Premiere Gal...I have just started using Premiere Pro and I love it's ease but at times I feel overwhelmed with all its extra advanced features. Outside of using the white balance features on my camera which would be your "go to" method if you needed to make a RU-vid video quickly?
I really dug this video, Gal. I never thought it necessary to shoot log and do the color grading, but you've sold me on the idea. Now I just need a camera that shoots log. I see that you're using the Canon R and I've heard mixed reviews about it. Would love to get your take on it and what you might recommend. Thank you again for another helpful video!
Overall, the EOS R is a great camera. It does everything I need, it doesn’t have high frame rates like the Sony A7S series but if you like Canon color and the UI, it’s a solid one.
@@PremiereGal Appreciate the feedback. My channel is almost exclusively in-studio talking head and I honestly couldn't imagine having to go to high frame rate. I'm not invested in Canon but I don't see a reason not to get one. Thanks for your response and great work!
I have Canon M50 and SL2, so I don't get built C-Log. Installing Technicolor Cinestyle gets it pretty close to C-Log for correcting whether doing it manually or using a utility LUT.
Thanks, great tutorial, very clear! I have a question. Once you have the skin color aligned to the skin tone line in the vectorscope, exactly how much saturation is "normal" for skin to look healthy? "Legal limits" in the vectorscope are too way too off. And you shouldn't measure by eye only.
Envato Elements is fantastic. I heard of it thru you, sometime ago. I used innumerous templates and I enjoyed the library of intros. Now, you didn't introduce us to your dog?!?!
Great tutorial straight to the point, your way of your way of tutoring make my work flow easy and did empower me to explore more and change my community for good am from nigeria. Thanks for the good work
Thank you for this tutorial!! Its solve my problem to correct the skin tone and color a C log profile!! So very clean tutorial 😇😇 God bless and stay safe😇
Thank you premiere gal for all this tutorials. Your doing a great job and i have learned a lot from you. Keep providing educational videos on editing and god bless you.
Thanks Kelsey for this skin tones tutorial. and I gather from it that I really need to take a custom white balance every time I record. Hopefully taking a custom white balance every time along with using the CINELIKE D profile will help to get good consistent color in my church's mixed lighting environment. (Unfortunately my camera doesn't have a Log profile).
You are too great honey, I have been watching tutorials , but yours improve me and I do learn slot from yours pls honey keep it up, and I love you more when you bring close or the word zoom when teaching and picking any keys while editing I love it and it make me to see what you picked and understand thanks alot
I wish Lightroom had something like this where we could color balance off the skin. If you have anything on that it would be awesome. Literally nothing else online.
Do you know that you are one of the best video editing tutorial maker on youtube? Whenever I see your videos on my homescreen I click and watch them before doing anything else :)
I get to understand lumetric scopes , from your explanation thanks you son much. About the camera , am from Africa , I may have less chances to get that camera because of distance, Do you know Uganda from Africa.? I would love to have it thanks.
Hey! I'm impressed by the way you turn such difficult things into a piece of cake. have you ever thought about making a tutorial about shooting in LOG ? I'm struggling with S LOG 3 in some type of situation. It can be a beauty or a disaster... I'm pretty sure I'm not alone trying to figure that out. Peace!
From Cape town South Africa I always following skills. Kelsey from your channel Premiere Gal u did show us some tips and helpful examples keep up that way cheers
Thank you for all the tips and tutorial..you inspired me a lot..keep making video and stay safe always..im a mobilefilmaker..but i hope one day i can buy a gear to make awesome video..thanks again and godbless you more.
first of all thanks for the good and detailed tutorials, which you are providing to us. its really simple and easy to under stand actually, through your tutorials i can abled to learn much more mynute tricks and methods especially in aftereffects and premiere pro. thanks a lot 😍🤗
What would be default workflow? CAMERA: 1. Set manual white balance, 2. Record with LUT, 3. Color mode VLOG, 4. Use same framerate to all clips when sync audio (25p), 5. Shutter double of fps, (1/50). 6. Level volumes in camera. EDIT: 1. Change color mode from LOG to 709, 2. Correct colors using LUT.
