Mastering Color Grading: From Correction to Cinematic Storytelling

Color grading transforms your videos. Start with color correction – adjusting white balance, exposure, contrast, and saturation for accuracy. Then, explore color grading techniques. Three-way color correction lets you fine-tune shadows, midtones, and highlights. LUTs (Look Up Tables) provide quick, consistent looks. Choose palettes to evoke emotions; cool tones for calm, warm for excitement. Advanced techniques include split toning and selective color grading using masks. Mastering color grading elevates your storytelling.
