    Your videos are insane quality. There is nothing about them that makes me think "lazy". I'm sick of all these UA-camrs who take forever to explain something, and they don't script anything properly. You go the extra mile by explaining things so clearly and precisely, and adding in useful links and timestamps in the description.

    I had to learn Premiere for my work. I was trained as a graphic designer in the 80's and video editing was never in my field of view as part of my career. So I trained myself and took some workshops and have become a passable user and have actually did some high end editing (with the help of a lot of UA-cam tutorials). On a daily basis I work with a lot of images that require skin tone correction. In Photoshop I have no problems on photos, but when it came to video it was hit or miss. Some of the principles are the same, but I still couldn't make the colors look the way I wanted. Throw in flat video files and that is even more of a nightmare. This tutorial is awesome. I finally think I got it and I actually am no longer scared of scopes. I'm now subscribed and look forward to learning more. Thanks.

  • @keithdennis5085

    So glad you discussed the fast color corrector; a very useful tool!
    Also, you're only the second person I've watched on UA-cam that has masked an isolated section of skin to show that the RGB colors of skin do not evenly match. Red intensity is greater than green and green intensity is greater than blue, as you showed. Most discussions of the RGB parade monitor just say that you need to get the RGB intensities to match, which might be true if you were talking about overall wide shots rather than close-ups of people. Great tutorial! Thank you.

      I think with all the colour grading/correction i've been learning over the last few weeks, this really pulls it all together in a lovely summary. I'm literally working on a video that has this exact spot but more so because there is a bright window in the living room hitting the back of my subjective and the light is spilling over. So yes, a tutorial on this would be great! What was new in this video that others didn't speak about is the "Skin line" that was some great piece video! Thanks!

  • @JohnSmith-qq7yw
    @JohnSmith-qq7yw 3 роки тому +5

    There is a much faster and easier way to correct skin tone/hue. Instead of using the "fast color corrector" effect, you can just use the temperature and hue sliders. As you do in your video, mask out a patch of skin with the opacity pen tool. Now move the temperature slider all the way to the right so that it's value is 100. This will elongate the skin tone line in the vectorscope. Now, adjust the hue slider so that the line matches up with the vectorscope skin line. When you have everything lined up, move the temperature slider back to the default position, and your done. You may still have to eyeball some small adjustments to the hue slider based on how the whites look, but this technique gets you spot on, or very close to where you need to be, very quickly. This does the same thing as fast color corrector effect wheel, but without the need for having to use the fast color effect which only clutters up the effects panel.
