Teal and Orange Secret in Seconds (No LUTs)

- This one color grading trick gets teal and orange in seconds (without LUTs):
www.colorgradi...
There is nothing quite like the beautiful color contrast that the teal and orange or orange & teal look creates.
Contrasting warm skin tones to a cool background focuses the audiences eye on the talent, which come on, is the primary focus.
Additionally it's kind of like a bottled up sunset or "magic hour" when the warm sunlight is illuminating everything directly and the sky is acting like a giant blue bounce card illuminating everything else that's in the shadows.
In this tutorial I reveal how to get this coveted look without using LUTs that can often times break an image and not give you the results you're looking for.
Other tutorials show how to do this but are too complicated and require too many steps making filmmakers feel overwhelmed.
Whether you're in Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro X I show you the easiest and fastest way to get the coveted look in just two steps.
It essentially works like this:
1) Isolate your skin tones and other similar tones then invert the selection
2) Push cool teal colors into the image with the offset/master control
Voila! Feast your eyes.

Hahaha yesssss

Wow, so this is the orange and teal look I'd been trying so hard to learn.
This is the best video of it's kind in my opinion.
Thanks man
Thanks so much Samuel!!
Watch adds zone he has the luts link for teal and orange
Been using FCP for 6 years and never noticed we could save applied effects to new presets... I've been using Motion 5 to do it but this is game changing, plus nice tips for teal & orange, thanks man !
Happy to help!!
Sir please give me this luts
seriously! me too! im like daaang! lol
How did he save these as presets? I didn’t see that
AM2PM when you have the color tab open it will be at the bottom. If not, check what version FCPX you have
Now this is the most straight forward and easy to follow colour grading tutorial I've seen! I did not know about the mask tool for skin tones in premiere!
Thanks so much Chris! Glad you got a lot out of it!!
Hey Chris, do you know how to invert the selection in premiere pro?
A quick tip for qualifiers!
Instead of using the “denoise” function is recommend trying to increase the minimum saturation slider to be ~.2-.7. It does the same thing as reducing the noise but without blurring your overall qualification.
Hope this helps someone :)
GREAT video! We will be using this in our future travel inspiration videos. Thanks so much. Subscribed :)
Thanks for the kind words and the sub!!
Everything becomes obvious after a Denver Riddle video
Thanks so much!!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! Happy to help!
Woah. Didn't expect to see Glenn here. 😁
Wait, no yelling??? How???
Hey Glen how're you doing?! Do you have any idea on how I could get a better "teal and orange look" on my Metal tone? :3
hello glenn :D
Came for the tut. Liked for "BOOM BABY CHICKEN LADY"
That was awesome! Thank you
I just realized this trick lately from my practice but I fount it too easy to believe and here you are omg. Thank god it wasn’t just in my illusion lol
exactly
You are the best thanks 🙏
Hi Denver ! 1) Isolate your skin tones and other similar tones then invert the selection
2) Push cool teal colors into the image with the offset/master control
After doing step 2 everything is blue on my screen ( Even the skin tones ) What Im doing wrong ? I lost it here 2:49 . I did watched this tutorial numerous times. Im still cannot get it.
Are you sue you inverted your selection on the skin tones? You have to be sure to isolate or qualify everything else but the skin. Also which software are you using?
@@colorgradingcentral Thank you for your reply Denver. Im using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16. I did inverted the selection. When I applied teal everything become blue ( with the skin tones) Something missing is missing for me in your video.
@@topfelya send me a screenshot of how your qualifier looks to you to denver@colorgradingcentral.com also make sure the 'highlight' feature is turned off.
@@colorgradingcentral Will do that in the minute
@@colorgradingcentral Done ! Email sent
Awesome thankyou
dude this is literally the money shot of color grading if your like me and you almost understand it but its too scary and puts you off even trying......
Exactly!!! For me too!
Thumbnail is Bollywood Actress * Parvati Nair* 😍😍
Absolutely obliterated all those LUTs out there. Never understood why people went to spend the money on that when it is THAT easy!
Thanks so much Nick!! Glad you found it helpful!
I clicked for the girl. Where is the girl. I already love her.
@sexy south indian actresses Oh Thanks for the info. gonna find her.
Me too.. i m from her city
Just want to say thanks very much for using African Americans with dark skin as example videos. Can't tell you how many video editing tuts and examples I've seen with fairly light complexions and how difficult it can be sometimes with dark skin tones, especially when so much color grading doesn't take that into account. I really appreciate it.
Great tutorial brother 🔥🔥🔥. Thanks for the knowledge 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You're welcome! Happy to help!
Amazing, thanks!
Sir plz plz plz.. Make one cenematic color grade tutorial... For the music video and album for my songs.. Love u sir

3:15 is CRUCIAL shit no one talks about 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! This channel is so awesome for these specific tips that are so crucial in the end
Agreed. I semi-recently learned this from my man Nigel Barros and it makes it so much cleaner
@@caldercosyn I haven't found a way to do that in premiere pro, so still usefull
Thank you.. You deserve my subscribe.I subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
PRO TIP: 2:15 drag over the skin (rather than click) using the dropper tool to select a range of skin tones :)
Can you please share the reason of it as well?
Thank you very much, one of the best tutorials I've watched for the orange & teal look, no question.
The only point I would add is how to use this technique in those shots where you don't have skin tones, let's say drones shots, is it possible?
Thanks for your time.
The technique would be the same, you'd just push the orange into the overtones and not have to compensate for skin tones.
Really great tutorial, but I'm a little surprised you guys only presented the "desaturate the shadows with a luma vs sat curve" method as the final step. There's nothing inherently wrong with it, but it can kinda take warmth out of the deep areas of the skin tones, since you're desaturating ALL of the colors in the shadows. It creates more of a grimy urban look that won't work for some projects. The alternative, in this case, is to use some sort of color wheel for shadows to push some orange back into the dark areas. You'll know it's balanced when the shadows read evenly on an RGB parade scope, instead of the blue channel being higher than the others. The difference is extremely visible, and it's really good to be able to go that route if it suits the project. Thank you for the video!
how would you do that ? That sound slike a good idea, but how do you target only the shadows and then add the orange back?
@@geodude4real You can use a color wheel that only targets shadows, or just manipulate the bottom part of the RGB lines on any curves tool
Awesome video once again!! So properly explained! I have been watching your vlogs/tutorials to get a hold over premiere pro for editing my videos. Made a video of my nephew, would really love if you can share your comments on it ua-cam.com/video/HT3FVgnkHBk/v-deo.html
I'd feel bad if I leave this video without liking and subscribing...this really helped
Bro take my money 😳 this changed my life
Haha
This is the best tutorial on self making Teal and Orange instead of relying on LUTS. Keep it up on showing in all 3 Applications. Your teaching is the best. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Nice video, there a long time I looking for this video. Thanks for the share.
wowowowowowowowow awesome u gained a new sub
Thanks for the sub!
awesome video. Why don't you also reduce saturation in the highlights?
I didn’t see any need to in this particular example. Creating a look is a matter of taste and not all orange and teal looks are created equal. If you feel like the highlights are too tinted, you can always reduce its' saturation too.
@@colorgradingcentral ok gotcha
excuse me while I go back and recolor every piece of footage I've ever shot. Well done man!
Happy to help!
Thank You. Really nice tips. Btw I'm photographer and trying to achieve same effect with photoshop tools I get pretty close I think :) . And learned new technique.
Thrilled to hear that!!
I have learnt a lot from it. I was somewhat confused in color grading but its clear now.You make it look so easy,Thanks for sharing
AWESOME VIDEO!! keep up the good work guys!
Man, this is just what I've been looking for FOR A LONG TIME NOW. God bless.
Wow bro. Really nice!
🙋🏻♂️✨👌😉😎👍
Man, Idk how everything else got so complicated. You did this perfectly. Thank you.
Thanks so much!!
I agree! Lol
first time learning vid editing.. an man... thanks for making it so simple...
Dope tutorial man! I saw this done in Davinci and was like man I wish fcpx could seperate skin tones like that 🤯. I like how you showed this method on three different platforms, that was awesome. I just sub'd.
Thanks for the sub!!
This was great! Color grading is a spot im still working on.
Thrilled to hear that Will!!
I'm still waiting for the Photoshop version!
mAsk the subject and disable it. working with the background, lift the blues (infact, pull down the red curve in the shadows), mask (again). this time disable the background. work with the subject, and HSV adjust, shifting the browns (red = brown) to orange. there
BOOM! Baby chicken lady :)
Such a great video!!!! I would love to see you attempt and teach another color contrast grade apart from teal and orange. Perhaps blade runner grade? That have magenta and another color I believe.
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks so much! And props on using dark-skinned people in some of these examples. 👍🏾
You're welcome! Happy to help!
Is there a tutorial for bringing Log footage onto a proper exposure and contrast? Would love to see one with your concise and exact style!

Teal and orange is so old. Everyone is doing it and just tired of seeing it. No one is original anymore.
Wow amazing in all three programs. Thank you sir!
Boom baby Chicken LADY!!
You're welcome!!
Always the best color grading tutorials here.
Now this was helpful and quick!
Happy to hear that Michal!
God bless you my brother, best color grading tutorials on UA-cam and I have looked at a lot. Concise and to the point
My hair turn into teal. And when i try to clean up the shadow using luma vs sat, my hoodie lose it's color. How can i clean my hair without affecting my hoodie?
Maybe you pushed too much teal in the image. Dial it back. You can use the color wheels too to compensate for the teal in the shadows.
"Boom Baby Chicken Lady" The most awesome part in this video. BTW I am a student of Color Grading Central Academy. You always Make thinks so user friendly, my grading has improved a lot since taking your Course. I am an all time Sony A 7 3 User so far.
So glad to hear that KapDx!! The Sony A7 is a great camera!
@@colorgradingcentral Yeah I Have Using this Since it's launch. And I am practicing with the Picture profiles. Wish I could get a guide from you regarding the picture profile of Sony. As you know A 7 has a 8 bit color which limits grading to an extent especially considering log footages. although after taking your Course I am confident enough to have a decent output but then also Picture profile is way too important as well.
Color Grading Central Boom now I can make two tweaks to my Teal & Orange... Best

I envy you grading guys. Making grading tutorials is as easy as putting on my Pajama :)
Con- Fusion yeah color tools do seem like they have gotten easier and friendlier to use than other compositing tools.
Excelente,mas tutoriales de color para fcpx👍👍
Great tutorial! In your qualifier selection of skin tones you put denoise at 15. You do this all the time?
It will vary depending on the selection. Might be more or less. This just helps smooth out the key/qualification
Thank for the video. It was amazing.
very informative video my man!! very helpful! thank you for putting this together!
You're welcome! Happy to help!
Thanks for the step by step video. I didn't think there is such an option on the program.
Thanks for watching, glad you got a lot out of it!
So I got the Teal part down, but what if orange on the skin was off, would you create new node to add orange? how do you keep the teal and add orange, super new so not sure if I worded it correctly?
Not 100% sure what the question is, but I'll try. Since you started off by selecting skin tones (effectively orange) and then inverting that selection, you effectively select every color EXCEPT orange. This means that when you add teal, it doesn't interfere with the orange that is already in the frame. If your skin/orange tones look "off" after this, create a new node that selects the skin tones once again. This time, don't invert it, just use it to correct or tweak the skin/orange tones as needed. You don't have to worry about adding EXTRA orange in the grade though, because this is a hollywood style color grade, and it relies on the actors' skin to put "orange" in the frame. Hollywood also relies on explosions, fire, orange lights, or set design to put orange in the frame. Sometimes even the teal is created on location with lighting and set design, resulting in no need for a color grade, but this is less common.
WOW goody Thank you for such a fast simple explanation
