Andrew Devis, Karl Soule, Robbie Carman, Jarle Leirpoll, and Jeff Sengstack have all been creating excellent video tutorials about color correction and color grading recently, so I thought that it would be useful to gather links to them together in one place for convenience.
Several of these tutorials go far beyond just showing the UI controls in a specific piece of software; they also give great advice that’s relevant to color correction with any tool, such as working in a room with constant lighting and frequently resetting your eyes to real-world neutral by looking away from the computer screen.
There’s more information about color correction in general and Color Finesse specifically on the Adobe website:
- “Color correction and adjustment” in Adobe Premiere Pro Help
- “Color correction, color grading, and color adjustment” in After Effects Help
- “Resources for Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse” in After Effects Help
