This past weekend, my family went on a short road trip to Show Low, Arizona. On the way back, we stopped along the side of the road, put the video camera on a tripod, and shot some footage of ourselves. Since we were all in the picture, nobody was operating the camera. Also, an approaching storm was imminent, and I was afraid it would rain, so I rushed through the camera setup and forgot to adjust the exposure.

The footage turned out terrible. It’s too dark, flat, and unexciting.

In this installment of Izzy Video, I show a quick way to make the footage look (a little) better.

Many people are intimidated by the concept of “Color Grading”, which is the act of adjusting color in your final video image. I want to make it less intimidating.

In this installment of Izzy Video, I introduce you to Color Grading, and I get things started in Color, the new application in Final Cut Studio 2. This tutorial reviews basic color grading concepts like Primary Color Correction and Secondary Color Correction. What’s the difference? The answer is in this video.
