Join video, film, and television workflow expert Karl Soule for an immersive session on mastering color in Adobe Premiere Pro, which was recently presented at Adobe MAX.
Color grading is a crucial element of any video production. It not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your footage but also ensures that technical standards are met for various platforms. This class is designed for editors who are already familiar with Premiere Pro but might not have a deep understanding of its Lumetri Color panel or the importance of color management.
What You’ll Learn
Karl Soule will guide you through essential strategies to improve both the aesthetic and technical quality of your sequences. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll walk away with:
- Reading and Understanding Scopes: Scopes are essential tools that help visualize the color balance and brightness levels in your footage. In this session, you’ll learn how to read scopes like a pro, identifying issues and making precise corrections for a more polished final product.
- Creating Custom Looks and Exporting LUTs: Have a particular look in mind for your project? You’ll discover how to create your own preset looks in Premiere Pro and even save them out as LUTs (Look-Up Tables) for use in other projects or software.
- Working with LOG Footage: If you’ve ever been stumped by LOG footage, this session will demystify it. Karl will teach you when to apply transforms in Premiere Pro for LOG footage, and when it’s best to leave them off. Understanding LOG footage can make a significant difference in how you manage dynamic range and color accuracy.
- Color Managed Workflows for Accuracy: Karl will also dive into color-managed workflows, ensuring that what you see on your screen is what you’ll get across different devices and platforms. This workflow is vital for maintaining color consistency, whether you’re working on a film, broadcast, or streaming project.
- Handling HDR Footage in an SDR World: With HDR becoming more prevalent, knowing how to handle high dynamic range footage is essential, even if your final output is in SDR (standard dynamic range). You’ll learn how to work effectively with HDR footage, ensuring it translates well, regardless of the format you’re delivering in.
