Colour Grading

Colour grading refers to stylizing the colour scheme of video footage. It can evoke specific emotions from viewers and transform footage for the final look. To colour grade, select a video clip and the 'Color' tab to access pre-made 'Looks' or adjust settings. A LUT is a preset colour look that can be directly applied to footage to set a predetermined visual feeling or reference style. When colour grading, annotate screenshots explaining the process and adjustments made.

colour grade your clips

The blue is much more saturated and the brightness is definitely turned down, with
the highlights lowered as well. This is a great look for sci-fi footage, or even a nice
David Fincher noir vibe.
The sky in this clip has completely lost its blue, and become brown,
bringing out those reds and oranges. You’d almost think the lack of colour
contrast would hurt, but it doesn’t.
