He’ll show you basic and a few advanced color correction techniques.

  • Reading Video Scopes
  • Basic Color Correction Techniques

    Everything was explained deeply

    Nice succinct class. Would be good to have a follow up more advanced class or more examples but this is certainly good for beginner, and more experienced editors that want to deepen their knowledge. (I don't consider myself a beginner as have been color editing for a few years but still learnt a bit here - having previous experience with the lumetri panel will be useful)

    It is a very very good class for beginners. It gives you a very good overview of the color correcting tools available and empower you. If you are advanced in color corrections and/or grading this may not be for you. Thanks Abba.

    This is the beginner course people are probably wanting to find on Youtube but can't. Great overview/intro on how scopes work in Premiere. Also helps put some context on how to start manipulating your footage. I'd be interested in getting more details but (agree with other comments) I think he was pressed for time.

    Great course. Concise and easy to follow. Really gives me more confidence to have a professional lay it out correctly, as opposed to some random guy on YouTube. Highly Reccomend!

    I’m only given the opportunity to leave a thumbs up or thumbs down. So seeing a100% rating feels slightly misleading. I would have done 4 stars if given the option. The teacher knows what he is talking about, but overall the information could have been organized and presented with more thought. The overall quality is better than the YouTube tutorials that I have watched, but I do not feel like I learned significantly more.

    I thought the class was going to dive more into theory and developing styles and looks but only delivered a basic understanding of Color Grading workflows in Premier. If you are a beginner looking to understand the tools in Premier then this is a good place to start. If you are an advanced editor looking to sharpen your color grading skills this is not the course for you. It will show a beginner the basics but not much more that directing you to the trial and error process after that. I must have misread the course description for myself but would say the course is well suited for someone just starting out.

    I've been filming/editing language learning videos recently and thought "The free tutorials on YouTube are cool, but I wish I could pay an expert to just clearly explain white balance/color correction to me. How to confidently read the scopes, etc". Lo and behold, a few days later this course appears out of nowhere! It delivered all the basic stuff I wanted, clearly explained. I particularly liked the encouraging advice - if you get 95% there (regarding getting the 'perfect' balance), be happy with that 95% and keep moving forward! Thank you!

    This class was well organized and Abba explains the lessons in a friendly, easy to understand way. It's obvious he enjoys teaching.
