hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya from Toleratedcinematics.com
and today it's filmmaking Friday
all right so this Monday I made a video for Adobe After Effects monster
properties the new update from April 2018 and now I'm going to be talking
about a premiere update also from 2018 April an amazing cool new feature they
added in the color grading and for Adobe Premiere Pro and it allows you to match
course very easily to your art scene whether it is your own video that you
have already graded and then you want the other scene to look kind of similar
then you can just do this completely automatic but I took it a step further I
looked up some scenes from real movies that I really enjoyed and the colors
were very kind of unique for those kind of movies so now I'm going to use those
movies as a reference to apply it to my own video so let's jump into Adobe
Premiere Pro and see how it's done alright so here we are in Adobe Premiere
Pro I'm going to be using some of my footage from a vlog pretty cool footage
to apply some grades on so this is what I have this is completely great 'less so
here we want to apply some kind of grades that are similar to movies so the
first movies that popped in my head with a unique grade were these kind of images
right here one from transformers and then one here from Mad Max and one here
from Dunkirk and here from The Matrix so I'm just going to drag these into my
timeline this is necessary in order to achieve this effect you have to add
reference images in your timeline so you can do whatever image it doesn't matter
if it's a photo a video doesn't matter before we continue this video I would
like to present you our website designed for filmmakers and video editors to
improve their workflow we offer templates presets high-quality pre-made
packs soundscapes essential graphics and much more if you don't have time to
create something of your own or you just want to speed up your workflow
definitely check out our website with a link in the description below
so what do you want to do next is you want to go to those frames and make sure
that they fill the entire screen so right here I'm going to zoom into this
scene and this also just make them fill on the screen here and then for this one
this has this out the Transformers has the letterboxing we also want to kind of
get rid of that by increasing the size here and there we go so now we have some
kind of a different course ideally you're trying to look for scenes that
have a lot of variation going on for example and the Dunkirk scene actually
looks very similar to the footage that I have because it was actually also filmed
partially in Belgium I think but the houses and the streets they look very
similar to that scene from my vlog for example right here so you can see that
it's pretty close so that is probably going to work best in my case and so it
really so it really depends what kind of footage you are using not everything is
always going to work out very well try to look for different kind of shots with
a similar kind of grade and see which one works best for your video footage
but let's go into my video here so for the Mad Max for example we have here a
close-up out of the face so what we'll do is go for a close-up on my face maybe
this one right here and then we'll click on that video I also applied a kind of
letterboxing to make it a little bit more cinematic also I recently made a
tutorial on animating this letter boxes in which is really cool and popular
style in vlog so definitely go and check that tutorial out if you haven't already
so let's continue with this tutorial right here let's go to the luma tree
color if you don't see that you can go to window luma tree color right here or
change the workspace to color workspace all right here you just click gore okay
so we are in the luma tree color and you have all these tabs and the new update
actually is in the color wheel and match so they added this match button and that
is because you can now click on comparison view and that will allow you
to actually play back in your time line on the other reference
image and this is going to be used as it says as a reference so so what I will do
is just put my letter boxing a little bit up and I will create a new
adjustment layer click OK and bring this on top of my video footage right here
click on that video adjustment layer and go to the Illuma tree color and click on
comparison view now we can scrub through our video again like so and you will see
that we're just watching other own video and at the end we have our frames from
the video footages for example you want to use this one click the apply match
and that's all you got to do so there we go and it looks quite similar it's not
perfect because I add the sky and there we go so we have quite similar colors
right now from Mad Max so that's a pretty cool way to do this let's
continue and our video and look for another scene for example the Dunkirk
scene I'm going to do that right here because that kind of is a very similar
so apply the map and boom there we go so as we can see before and after it's a
very similar match to whatever we have in the Dunkirk scene you can also click
this for example the vertical split and then with this tool you can actually
compare the two very closely or this way you can also do it so you can see that
the colors are very similar from the highlights to D and darker tones which
is pretty cool let's go for another scene maybe transformers let's see what
that does ok that pops the Greens a little bit so the shadows should be a
little bit more blue in my opinion so let's try again
this gets it a little bit more green from this shot right here but maybe you
should look for another kind of scene let's go for the matrix one which is a
kind of legendary shot as you might know I will use it right here and this is
really going to make everything a lot more green of course you can you can go
back in here and add the contrast a little bit to make it pop a little bit
more as you can see it looks like a shot from the Matrix movie maybe increase
highlights just a touch okay so pretty cool always go back into the basic
correction to kind of finalize your video okay I have one more shot here
that I'm also going to add right here from James Bond I'm also going to scale
this up and the reason why I'm going to try this shot is actually it has the
same kind of weather conditions as my shot so actually also very important is
to try to find a scene that has similar kind of lighting conditions from your
shot so try to make it as close as possible and then the matching is going
to be as close as possible also
for example this shop and we'll do this with the James bumps feature match it
and actually make sure we're using the adjustment layer here and there we go we
can see that the orange stones are very similar here so that's a great job it
doesn't an incredible job in my opinion with all the information it only has its
kind of matching the shots pretty close of course it's not always going to have
the most perfect job but in most cases this will be the tool that you need for
example if you have two different kind of shots with two different cameras you
want to bring them together make them look similar this tool is going to help
you out for sure it makes your job so much easier instead of doing everything
manually so great job Premiere Pro to do this update I really love it I hope
