yes mate I believe it was :+1:

Iā€™ll just screen share with you and give you control :joy: :smiley: :smirk:

Here you go @McSteamy2010 . I felt it deserved the widescreen treatment too. Obviously YouTube is compressing it like hell right nowā€¦

Wow Lee, love that mate, is this a LUT or all manual changes :thinking:

66

All manual. I have the Studio version so I can add a couple of bits that arenā€™t in the free version. In this case itā€™s dehaze. Thereā€™s a tad of noise reduction which you can do in the free version itā€™s just faster in studio and finally the lens distortion correction - again possible in each version just quicker in Studio. You could get 80% of this look though without Studio. Itā€™s essentially

  • Primary adjustment first (white balance and exposure)
  • Mask the sky then foreground and adjust individually
  • Graduated filter at the bottom to make it darker
  • Sharpen a smidge

I had 10 months without work in 2020. Some people learnt a language or did some decorating. This was my ā€œlearningā€

Hmmm I may have to look more into this, Iā€™m very impressed with what youā€™ve produced.

I would not know where to start with any of these, my basic colour editing skills consist of the curves bar :man_facepalming::sleepy:

Give me an hourā€¦

Here you go @McSteamy2010 . A quick ā€œhow toā€. I havenā€™t gone in to qualifiers and masks etc even though theyā€™re really good to know.

Lee, thats amazing! You should seriously start some tutorials on YouTube with this, if you already havenā€™t.

Very helpful, ill be trying to follow this later as much as I can anyway with the free version but, have to say, that dehaze tool looks like itā€™s worth itā€™s weight in gold. Never knew about that sharpening too!

Really appreciate you doing that for me :handshake:

Definitely needs adding to your tutorial list on your chanel :+1:

75

I may polish it a little and do just that. Wife has her book club later so I might do it then. Itā€™s ā€œunlistedā€ at the moment. Have you got a channel or Instagram or similar that I could credit the footage?

Donā€™t feel you have to credit though, itā€™s only one clip :+1: look forward to seeing the finished tutorial.

Great work. Do you know how to recreate the dehaze manually?

78

You can use the curves to do a pretty good job. Create an S curve and play with the points until youā€™re happy. You can probably take the dark point down quite far. You often find it gets a bit oversaturated when you do this so you may need to dial down the saturation. Not an issue in this shot but on a sunny day you would see it.

I thought Iā€™d finish the other one Iā€™d started last month first :roll_eyes:

Awesome Lee, nice one mate :+1:

Hi Steve, great bit of footage, would love to fly over the Levels.
Lee has pretty much covered it all in his great tutorial. I do much the same although donā€™t tend to use gradients (I know I should).
Hereā€™s mine (went for widescreen too)

I use a node to adjust Highlights/Midtones/Shadows, one for Contrast/Saturation, one for Colour Correction and finally one for Sharpening.
