Apply specialized tonality adjustments in Premiere Pro to transform diffuse lighting into midday, sunrise, or sunset tones, using the luma curve, unsharp mask, and the three-way color corrector.

Use a two-step color correction: first manage tonality—brightness and contrast—then adjust color, while applying color temperature knowledge, gray card white balance, and color representations in Premiere Pro.

Explore color correction methods in Premiere Pro, comparing color wheels and curves with support tools like fast color corrector and color corrector, highlighting chroma versus luma, hue, and saturation.

Adjust color using the fast color corrector, compare before and after with the source and program monitors, and learn when to use three way color corrector or rgb curves.

Adjust color with RGB curves using a three-way color corrector. Balance tonality and color with red, green, and blue channels, and refine skin tones with vector scope and RG parade.

Explore film-like color correction in Premiere Pro using Lumetri Looks and lookup tables, then adjust saturation, temperature, and tonality with an adjustment layer.

Master secondary color correction by isolating regions with track matte keys, masks, and graphics, then apply selective color, curve adjustments, and tonal range controls to objects within a clip.

Use the track matte key to isolate a region in a clip by creating a title matte. Outline it with the pen tool and apply corrections to the matte area.

Create and animate traveling mattes in Premiere Pro to isolate moving windows or objects for secondary color correction, using track matte with motion, keyframes, and luma curves.

Master adding vignettes in Premiere Pro using circle and track matte methods, with feathered edges and optional background blur to focus viewers on key subjects.

Learn to isolate a single color with the leave color effect, saturate the rest to grayscale, and tint clips using the fast color corrector, hue adjustments, and adjustment layers.

adjust tonal range definitions in Premiere Pro using color correction effects like the three-way color corrector, and limit edits to highlights or shadows with track matte keys.

Explore secondary color correction in Premiere Pro using hue, saturation, and luma to selectively adjust color in regions with eyedropper masks, via threeway color correcter and RGB curves.

Discover the Premiere Pro to SpeedGrade workflow, open Premiere Pro sequences in SpeedGrade, apply grading with adjustment layers and a lookup table, and save changes back to Premiere Pro.

Explore the four speed grade scopes—waveform, vector scope, RGB parade, and histogram—and see how they compare to Premiere Pro scopes for color and luminance.

Explore speed grade tonality and color controls with color wheels and sliders, balance luma with the waveform scope, and compare to Premiere Pro's RGB curves and parade tools.

Learn tonality corrections in speed grade within a premiere pro workflow, using waveform monitors and offset adjustments to balance blacks, highlights, and midtones, while applying looks on a separate layer.

Demonstrates how to manage tonality in Premiere Pro before color grading in SpeedGrade, explains the effect order, blending modes, and how Lumetri sits in the clip’s effect stack.

Learn to adjust color and speed grade in Premiere Pro using color wheels, sliders, and a luma curve on adjustment layers, guided by scopes like RGB parade, vector, and waveform.

Master automatic clip matching in SpeedGrade to transfer color and tonality from a source clip to target clips using a two-up view and match-to-master, with practical tips.

Master the manual color and tonality match by comparing source and target with split-screen, then refine using color wheels and sliders in SpeedGrade, plus using snapshots for looks.

Master masks for vignettes and color correction, applying changes inside or outside masks and shaping tonality with square or circle presets and custom points.

Animate mask size, shape, and position in speed grade with manual keyframes. Compare hold versus interpolation and apply grading outside the mask for horse, rider, and windows.

Add a secondary color correction layer in SpeedGrade and Premiere Pro, select regions with the eyedropper, then refine hue, lightness, and saturation using mask options and sliders.

Explore how SpeedGrade effects stack and interact with adjustment layers and a lookup table to color correct and stylize clips in Premiere Pro.

Learn how look-up tables (LUTs) in speed grade transform clip colors, using profiles, camera patches, and Look Labs speed looks to neutralize footage and simulate film stock.

Learn the speed looks workflow in Premiere Pro by applying a camera patch to neutralize footage into a virtual log, then add a single look for cinematic color.
