   Nice video. Is there a way to do the same thing using Premiere instead of
   After Effects?

   So how do we do this when we dont have a true white, grey and black shadow.
   We cant use colors. You picked a perfect picture but we dont all shoot
   somethig with all 3 values

   This is the BEST one on youtube so far. AND ITS THREE YEARS OLD.WITH
   PHOTOSHOPCC you can color VIDEO correct better than this using LAB CYMK and
   RGB. THIS IS THE FOUNDATION.

   Wow. Totally amazing video. The process is very easy to follow and precise.
   And the result is absolutely stunning. I appreciated that you used PS, AE
   and Pr so effectively and smooth. Thank you very many. This video will
   (hopefully) have a positive impact on my future productions 🙂 One of a
   kind videos on Youtube!

    @jbooba Thanks. I was pointing out the difference between Color Correction
    and Color Grading by using different words since Color Correction and Color
    Grading are all too often used interchangeably. Too many people think Color
    Grading is Color Correction. It isn’t. -Michael

    Hmm, good point. Many times I end up just copying and pasting my timeline
    from premier into AE. This way I still retain individual clips and edits.
    Makes it easier to set up CC and CG for different angles and situations. My
    original comment sounded a little Troll-ish. didn’t mean that. Great
    tutorial and had many great tips on accurate color.

    you match them all to the reds? Thanks

    Thanks for watching! Click the little hand icon in the Adjustments window
    (top left corner), and simply click on the image to insert a point on the
    curve. If the hand icon is greyed out, make sure you select the squiggly
    line rather than the pen in the adjustments window. This will enable the
    little hand icon and then you can follow along.
