So, Calvin Harris came out with a pretty cool new music video called Feels
and it kind of added these color effects into their music video
where you kind of see this grass change from green to purple.
And in a next shot we've got Pharrell here with these crazy blending modes and
green magenta colors, and that is exactly
what we're going to recreate today inside Adobe Premiere Pro
and we arranged Katy, the actual Katy Perry here.
It might not seem her, but that was because it's actually shot on a different lens
and, you know, if you're using different lenses, your characters might seem,
or might look a little bit different, but trust me, this is the real Katy Perry, right here.
And we're going to change the grass here, around her,
and her dress, we're going to make that blue, as well.
So, that is going to be pretty cool.
And then we've got the real Pharrell here, this was actually shot a month before the video clip,
which is why he kind of has this curly hair.
And we told him to shave that off for the actual video clip,
you know, that is the true story behind it.
so, we're going to take a look at how to create these awesome color effects here, as well,
and kind of animate them over each other and blend some palm trees into it.
So, let's see how to create this, let's get started!
What up guys! Jordy here for cinecom.net
and welcome again to a very exciting Premiere Pro tutorial.
We're going to recreate these awesome color effects from the Calvin Harris video clip "Feels".
But before we're going to start, I first want to thank the sponsor of this video
which is Videoblocks today.
It's a huge library of stock footage, After Effects templates,
backgrounds, overlays, video effects and so on,
and you can actually get a seven day trial for free,
so, definitely make sure to visit the first link in the description below.
So, let's continue now with the tutorial.
I've got a new sequence right here with these two clips in it
and we got Kim right here, laying in the grass...
I mean... Katy Perry laying in the grass, right here
and what we're going to do is open up the Lumetri color panel.
If you can't see this, head over to your window on top and just select Lumetri color
right here.
And the first thing you usually want to do is head over into the basic correction
and kind of add a bit more punch to it
and that will help us to select the specific color that we want to change.
It can do that by increasing the saturation a tiny bit,
or also by adding some more contrast to that shot to give it some more punch.
And also, and this is something that you have to pay attention to
when shooting your video clip,
and that is to make sure that you have a clear difference in your colors.
So, right here we've got this pink dress, which really pops out,
and we can easily select that color, the same thing goes for the grass.
Now, if Kim right here would have laid down on the sand or something
and we want to change the color of that sand
and that is going to be pretty hard, because
that sands would come close to her skin tones,
and that way we can't really select that color.
But we've got a good example right here,
and, by the way, you can also download this project file for free,
you can also find a link to it in the description below,
so you can practice along with this tutorial.
So, once you kind of give it some more punch,
we're going to go into the secondary color correction, which is the HSL secondary.
And, on top right here, we have some controls to select the color that we want to change.
and let's start with that grass, you can actually take the color picker right here
to select a part of that grass, so that's one way to do it,
and I find that it's usually not that accurate,
so what I want to do is kind of manually go into the
Hue, Saturation and Luminosity, or Lightness control,
to specifically select the parts that I want.
Now, to visually see what we are selecting
I'm going to enable the mask right here by just selecting this box,
and now I can see that I actually have already a big part of that dress selected.
And, going through the settings now, you kind of want to see how far you want to go,
you want to increase the range of that Hue and can kind of offset that, perhaps,
that you are really selecting the green parts.
The next thing is the saturation, also here you can increase that range
and kind of move that around until you find a good part that is selected.
And then, finally we've got the luminosity that you can also increase
so that you're very sure that you are selecting the right parts.
And you always want to make sure that when you are selecting a certain color
that you are not selecting areas that you don't want to select
so that is Kim for example here, who's laying on the ground.
because if we would select, for example, more of that yellowish color
you will see that I'm selecting here as well, and that is not what we wanna have.
So, I'm going to put this back to somewhere right here.
And this looks fine to me,
we can always go back into here to kind of change that.
Just select your mask and now we're going to scroll down
and with these controls we can change the color of that grass.
So, what I'm going to do is just increase the tint
and that way we can kind of make that purple or reddish.
By the way, if you want to go beyond the 100 right here, then don't select that slider
but actually just increase the number of that value
and that way, you can kind of really make that purple, as you can see,
and now I'm also noticing that my mask wasn't really done so well.
The edges here are just way too hard, so I kind of wanna feather this.
and we can do that from here with the Hue, for example,
we can select this bottom triangle to add a little bit more feathering to that.
And you can see here what it kind of does.
And that way now I am better selecting that grass,
and we don't have those hard edges, as you can see.
Alright, this looks pretty awesome.
And we are going to animate this right now.
That is done from the Effects Controls right here,
now we've got the Lumetri color effect onto it, from which we've changed here the colors of,
and I'm going to open up that HSL secondary
in which we've been playing around the entire time.
You can, by the way, see the exact same controls in here, as well,
that you can see in the Lumetri window.
And we're going to create a keyframe for the tint.
So, just create a keyframe for that, it's currently at its ending position,
so what I'm going to do now is go back in time and then just reset that value to zero.
And you can do so by just clicking on the Reset button
and that will create a new keyframe for that default value.
And when we are going to play this, right now,
you'll see that the colors will actually slowly shift to that purple color,
and that is pretty cool.
So, this is really like the basis of how that secondary color selection works.
Let's go quickly over the next example, where we are going to change the dress of Kim...
...I mean, Katy. And, to do that,
I'm actually going to take a new Lumetri color effect.
And what you can actually do is right-click on that effect that we've just applied and say "Rename".
And I'm going to rename this to "grass"
and that way, I know that this is the secondary color correction for the grass.
Next, I'm going to head over to the Effects Library and just search for Lumetri,
just going to close those presets here and
drag that Lumetri color effect to my Effects controls.
So, now we have the Lumetri color twice in it
and I'm going to rename that second Lumetri color effect to Dress,
and that way, I know that this here is the dress.
And, in the Lumetri window right here, you can also see it on top which one we have selected.
So, that is all fine and with that selected I'm going to select her dress.
Again, we can use that color picker if you want so, and click on her dress
and that will kind of select already the pink of her,
enable the mask so we can fine-tune
and now I just kind of wanna go through that, I know that this dress was very saturated.
We can definitely take a large range of that.
Now, we are running into a problem here, guys.
We are also selecting the grass.
And the reason for that being is because, well, we have made that dress kind of purple pinkish,
so we are also selecting that, and that is because we have first applied that effect onto it
and then we are doing the dress.
So, to fix that, very simple, what we're going to do is just move this Lumetri color here,
above that grass and that way we are first going to select the pink,
changing that to something like blue and then we are going to make the grass purple.
And another thing we are running into,
and, this is what I believe a little issue with Premiere Pro,
is that whenever we are going to select one of these colors, the tab here on top will not change.
It will always take like the last effect in your row of the Effects controls,
so, we can't use the Lumetri window now, anymore.
I kind of have to go into the Effects controls,
open up the HSL secondary in here and change my settings in here.
But that's okay because they look actually exactly the same.
So, let's continue here, I'm going to try and select the biggest part of her dress
and this is just something that you really have to play with,
just increase that range here and just kind of go through that.
Make sure that you're not selecting anything of her skin tones, which is not that easy,
as you can see, we're already here selecting some of her skin tones,
I believe those are her skins tones... Oh, no, it's actually
just some of the flowers that she has in here.
That is okay, we can also change those.
I believe that mi mask is actually going pretty good,
perhaps just kind of fine-tune this a bit more.
Perhaps add a little bit more feathering to it, that we don't have those hard edges.
Well, this is actually coming out pretty good.
Have that selected now so I'm going to deselect my mask
and just kind of go into the temperature here
and just kind of make that blue, all the way.
Look at that, guys, if it is too saturated also decrease the saturation a tiny bit,
something like this, but we can also just play around with other things in here like the contrast and such,
perhaps decrease that tint a bit more to the green side,
something like this so that it's not like too saturated, too hard blue,
so that still kind of looks natural that seems like she's wearing a blue dress right now.
So, we're going to create keyframes for the temperature, the tint and the saturation
of which we have changed the colors of,
and I'm actually gonna select these keyframes, move them a bit more forward in time,
because I want to start my animation a little bit later, somewhere right here.
And before those keyframes, we're going to reset those values again.
So just reset them all and that will create keyframes for the default value.
And that way, when I'm going to play this now you will see that her dress will change into blue.
So, by having this Lumetri effect twice on that clip
you can actually see that we can first change the color of that grass
and next we can change the color of her dress.
Kim, you are doing it awesome!
I mean... Katy.
And let's go with Pharrell now, and he's dancing,
just look at those awesome dance moves here.
By the way, he just loves to wear that shirt, he wears it everyday, almost.
I don't know why, but...
...if it makes him feel good, you know what? Just let him wear it.
It is pretty cool for this effect so, thank you Yannick for that,
I mean... Pharrell.
So, with the second coloring effect
let's have a quick look back at the example right here.
We are not going to do that secondary color correction on to it,
it works a little bit different and, actually, pretty simple to create,
so let's see how we can do that.
From the Effects Library right here I'm going to look for Invert.
And it's right here, just drag that effect onto that clip,
and already you can kind of see what it does here.
It will invert all those colors, but we can also
select different modes on how it actually has to invert.
And you can do that from the Effects Controls right here, we've got it right there, Invert,
and we're going to select a different channel value.
In this case we can select something like Phase Chrominance,
And this already gives something pretty cool.
Yannick the smurf, or we could also go for something else like...
...Quadrat... Nevermind, just that option right here,
that will kind of give him some more yellowish skin tones, which is more natural than the blue.
I kind of like this so I'm going to animate it as well.
And we can just do that with the second option here, like
how much would you like to blend this effect with the original.
So, we're going to start with that, create a keyframe at 100%,
where we don't see that Invert effect,
create a keyframe for it, just go a little bit forward in time and just bring that to zero.
So, right away we already have like the first coloring effect
and this looks pretty awesome, actually.
The next thing we're going to do is add that Invert effect, again to that clip,
this is the second time that we're doing that.
And this time I'm going to say that we are going to invert the green.
And this will kind of give that green magenta look that we were also seeing in the video clip.
But it's way too hard, but that is something that we are going to fix.
So, stay with me, guys.
We're going to start by animating that blending mode right here first,
so just create a keyframe for 100 and now just slowly that will go to green,
like that.
So, what I'm going to do is duplicate that layer
by holding down the Alt key on your keyboard and dragging that clip to channel number 2,
and that way you can make a duplication of that.
With the second layer selected, I'm going to remove the two effects that we've applied,
because we've also duplicated that, and we don't want that.
What we're actually going to do is change the blending mode of that second clip to Luminosity
and that way those saturations aren't so hard anymore.
But sometimes what you also want to do is, from the Lumetri controls right here,
and just going to scroll up and go into the Basic Corrections,
I'm gonna decrease that exposure here so that we can see the magenta
a little bit better in the sand right here.
But that of course, it depends on the shot that you have
but just know that you can kind of fix that with the Exposure setting right here.
Now, that second clip here in the timeline, just zoom in a little bit more on that,
what we're gonna do with that it's kind of fade that in
at the point where we have that second animation starting here,
so that is somewhere right here,
and I'm just going to align that clip to it,
right click on to it and say Apply Default Transition.
That way it will kind of fade in, like so.
And, to really top this off, we're going to blend in some palm trees,
like they've also done in their video clip.
Now, I got some amazing palm trees from Videoblocks, I just searched for palm trees,
and I got some right here, because here in Belgium there are no palm trees,
so I just had to look that up for some stock footage.
So, I just downloaded this awesome shot, right here, and loaded it into Premiere Pro,
I got it right here in my Project Panel, right here, guys.
And I'm just gonna select like a part from it and just drag that on top of that clip,
select that, go into the effects controls,
and we're going to blend that using the Multiply.
It's a bit too hard so I'm going to decrease the opacity as well,
so that we can vaguely see the palm trees coming through.
And, also here, when I add that transition to it, like so.
And now you can see how Yannick's dance moves are really coming out
with those awesome color effects,
I mean... Pharrell, of course.
Let's have a look at the final results right here,
where the grass has changed in color and the dress of Kim too.
And then we have Pharrell, who is putting off these awesome dance moves
through this cool coloring effects that we've created with the Invert effect.
Alright guys, that was it again for this awesome tutorial,
make sure to check out the description below,
because you can find a link to the project file that you can download for free,
and a link to Videoblocks, which I definitely recommend to check it out.
Thank you so much for watching again, guys
and, like always...
...stay creative!
