Making Video Look Like Film in Premiere Pro
Colour-correcting
videos
- Useful for if video shots appear too warm (orange) or too cool (blue)
- Useful for correcting shots from different cameras that may have different visual qualities
- Helps to correct colours, match colour between shots and make it look stylised
- Adjusting of temperature and midtones of clips
- RGB Parade Scope – one of several analysis scopes – can be used to see a representation of how warm or cool the clips are
- Typically make fine adjustments to highlights (whites), midtones (greys) and shadows (black)
- Make adjustments to shots using colour wheel and slider
- Input and Output levels – adjusting of ‘blacks’ and ‘whites’ – highlights and tones, such as making it lighter and darker
The Filmic Blend
Technique
- Fills in the ‘gaps’ between the 1800p lines in video – make it look richer and ‘fuller’
- Duplicate the footage twice: PC – Alt + Drag, Mac – Opt + Drag, to give total of 3 clips
- Go to Effects > search ‘fast’ > Click Fast Blur and drag it to video clip 2 and 3 (the duplicates)
- Deselect looking at video clip 3 by clicking the eye icon, to enable our focus on effecting video clip 2
- In Effect Controls, select Fast Blur. Tick ‘Repeat Edge Pixels’, select ‘Vertical’ in Blur Dimensions, and change Blurriness to 2 pixels
- Then go to Opacity and select Overlay from the drop down box – this deepens the colour
- Turn off the stopwatch icon (it is for animating, and is located to the left of Opacity) and decrease the value (%) only if the colour appears ‘too strong’
- Reselect video 3 (eye icon) to allow us to enhance this layer by inducing highlights
- In Effect Controls, select Fast Blur. Tick ‘Repeat Edge Pixels’, select ‘Vertical’ in Blur Dimensions, and change Blurriness to 2 pixels
- This time in Opacity, select either ‘Lighten’ or ‘Screen’ and again deselect the stopwatch icon
- The initial result is too light, so reduce the value (%) to about 35%
