Colour correction and grading

Fix and style the look of footage.

๐Ÿ“– Key ideas

  1. Colour correction fixes exposure and white balance.
  2. Colour grading creates mood and style.
  3. Scopes (waveform, vectorscope) measure colour objectively.
  4. LUTs apply preset looks.
  5. Match shots so scenes look consistent.
๐Ÿ’ก Real-life example: Correction is washing the vegetables; grading is adding the masala for flavour.
