Hello and welcome to GMAX STUDIOS, my name is Gorky M and today we are goin g
to be talking about the easiest way to color grade your footage.
When it comes to color grading your video there are a lot of options
available in the market and some of them are really really complicated but FilmConvert
makes it very very easy and quick. Color grading in film convert is
as easy as dragging your footage into the software and then going to the film
settings tab and selecting the camera and the profile that you have shot your
footage on. After that you select the film stock that you want to approximate
in your grading. These are like presets that you can apply directly to your
footage. After that you can make final changes by tweaking exposure and color
temperature and then finally moving on to the color wheels where you can adjust
shadows, mid-tones and highlights individually.
Finally you render the footage
and just like that your footage is now color graded.
Even if the exact camera that you have used is not available in the options, you
can try another camera by the same brand or just try any other camera and see
what works for you best.
While it definitely helps matters but it is not compulsory that you shoot in log
to be able to color grade your footage. What we are shooting right now is not in
LOG but still there is a lot that we can do with it.
For example, we can do this or this or this!!!
Though in most modern cameras the
color is already pretty good but color grading is a powerful tool that not only
you can change your footage to make it look more cinematic but it can change
the overall mood. To top it all it also has camera profiles for the iPhone and
other popular mobile phones.
When you first download the software all the camera profiles might not be
available but you can go to the website and select from their exhaustive list.
Once you have created a look that you like you can save it as a preset to be
used over and over again.
Like most things in life it is not free, but if you decide to buy FilmConvert,

a 10% discount on the purchasing price.
