In this Final Cut Pro color correction/color grading tutorial, we'll be going over how to correct incorrect skin tones in Final Cut Pro. We're going to focus specifically on fixing the hue, or color, of skin tones. I go in depth about adjusting the brightness of skin in my color grading masterclass, but for this tutorial we're going to focus on color both with standard Rec 709 clips and with LOG footage.

@seecraig 19 дней назад

I absolutely love that you included how white balance and tint adjustment sliders differ from the color wheels. Just confirming that the only difference is protecting the blacks. I've seen so little in explaining when and why one would choose this. I wonder if using a color chart might more clearly show how each works.

@dylanjohndickerson 19 дней назад

I actually show this in a video using a gradient in my Color Grading Masterclass. I have a shot with black in the bottom corner and it goes to white in the following corner. Using the temp and tint sliders with this shows them perfectly.

@LeafyLovin 17 дней назад

HI Dylan... thank you for these tips! However when I try to adjust the colour of the skintone, I find the vectorscope lines move up down left right, but DOESNT rotate 360 therefore no matter what I seem to change from the colour wheels or hue's, I can't seem to line the skin colour to the line, nor stretch it further than perhaps 10%/15% of the line length. its always slightly diagonally off the skin tone line. Hope that makes sense! Any tips on this one? :) thanks!

We want more fluff! Give the people what they want!

@dylanjohndickerson 19 дней назад

@fullpullmtb 5 дней назад

Why would you place the color wheel above the lut? Just to get the footage as close to neutral as possible? Would adding the wheel below the kit not cause the same adjustment?

@dylanjohndickerson 5 дней назад

It would not. Placing the adjustment before the LUT affects the original source footage. Placing it after affects what you're left with after the LUT converts to the Rec 709 color space. There's specific times to do both though. I discuss this in depth in my masterclass 😊 www.fcpcolorgradingmasterclass.com

@artofduke 19 дней назад

I only use temperature and tint and I just really try to shoot in camera and do as little in post as possible. Took that theory from Roger Deakins. Also you should grab a bunch of old film stils and see skin tone line is way off and it still looks great. Even Joker is the same. And if there is a red hue cast from curtains, clothing, furniture you kinda want that there as it is natural.

@dylanjohndickerson 19 дней назад

You must have not watched the whole video. I touched on those points.

@artofduke 19 дней назад

@@dylanjohndickerson I saw that and I did I watched the whole thing. I wasn't necessarily referring to the video, I was just giving everyone my process when it comes to skin tones. Personally I think l temperature affects the hue the most. But whatever works for people is great. But when I started out I got really confused by so many people referring to the skin tone lines to find out soooo many movies don't even have the skin tones on that lines and still look great.

@dylanjohndickerson 19 дней назад

@@artofduke Temperature and tint sliders do affect the hue, yes. But they affect your shot gradually with your black point locked down, which is not always prudent in every situation. Knowing how to use the tools you have for different situations is definitely important. Ya there's definitely a difference between color correction and color grading. Stylized looks, like in films, often have skin swinging off the line, which is fine. However for most commercial work, RU-vid videos, real estate videos, etc, usually accurate skin tones are recommended.

@artofduke 19 дней назад

@@dylanjohndickerson Right, like you said it all depends. I wasn't criticizing your video. I was just adding my two cents with my process, and I spend years confused trying to figure it out, I'm still learning, but I'm much less confused these days.

@DJaysParadise 19 дней назад

i think itˋs the better approach to use hue/sat curves rather than wheels as they easily add color casts in other parts of the image

@dylanjohndickerson 19 дней назад

Did you happen to watch the whole video? Because I go over that. Often times, it’s not just your subject’s skin that’s off. So using only hue vs hue every time your skin tones are inaccurate will help you to get the skin tones on track, but you’ll be leaving other areas of your shot off as well.

@RoamingPunjabi 19 дней назад

@dylanjohndickerson Thank You for the informative video! Regardless of whether or not I use a specific FCP feature, I do like to see what people are doing with FCP. I shoot Travel Vlogs on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I’m happy with the colors in the video. There was only one Time I can think of where the actual color of a surface was different than what the iPhone showed on the screen, but it could be due to Lighting. It was very slight, so not a big deal. I’m not sure if the different color was in the actual video, but could have just looked different on the iPhone screen, I am not sure. Either way, I do not mess with the colors of my videos, while editing. I do not know too much about color grading or color correction. Since I edit to upload to RU-vid, and I am happy with the colors, I do not see the need to mess with the colors. I also don’t want extra work for my videos. I never shoot in Log, and only the normal color profile is used (except when I accidentally shot in HDR, for which I know FCP will automatically fix it on an SDR Timeline). With All of that in mind, I have some concerns. Does FCP only show the exact colors shot by the camera, or is there a chance of FCP changing colors on its own (apparently some people have had issues with this)? Also, is the AI Feature automatic, or does the user have to set the feature? I do not want FCP automatically messing with the colors. Thank You! All the Best!

@TheFinalCutBro 19 дней назад

This is great if your clients are humans! Unfortunately my client is from a galaxy far far away :/ they literally don’t even have skin. It’s all fluff. Maybe consider including that next time you make a video. Stop cutting the fluff.
