About This Video

In this video, I take flat, boring footage and turn it into a cinematic grade using a simple, repeatable 8-step workflow inside Premiere Pro. The whole point is this: color grading isn’t about chasing “perfect” colors—it’s about emotion, depth, and story. I start with the stuff most people skip (like fixing your monitor so it stops lying to you), then I normalize log footage with a Log-to-Rec.709 conversion LUT so I’m not grading on a broken foundation. After that, I build the grade step-by-step: exposure and white balance using Lumetri Scopes (Waveform/Luma), then contrast with Curves for real luminance separation (not crushed blacks). I show how I organize multiple Lumetri effects, how masking can recover blown highlights like the sky (and why layer order matters), and how I lock in clean skin tones using HSL Secondary plus the Vectorscope skin tone line. Then I create color separation—my go-to example is orange & teal—using RGB curves and targeted Hue vs Hue / Hue vs Sat adjustments, while keeping blacks clean with Luma vs Saturation. Finally, I finish with glow and film grain for that organic, emotional texture that makes the image feel “filmic.”
