Adobe After Effects Color Correction

Posted on by admin

Dec 17, 2015  To show you how to get started using, we’ve carefully crafted 15 color presets for After Effects, that you can download and use for free! DOWNLOAD 15 FREE COLOR PRESETS. Let’s take a look how they work. Getting Started. Adobe likes to move things around and LUTs are now used via the browse menu of the the Lumetri Color effect. When to use After Effects for Color editing. After Effects is for doing things you can't don in Premiere Pro. More than 90% of my color correction is NOT done in AE. I only use AE to color correct a shot that I cannot correct in any other way. Back in the early days of Magic Bullet I would correct a whole film in AE and it was absolutely painful. Secondary Color Correction in After Effects Play Video Saving the Shot! In this second color correction tutorial Andrew Devis will show you how to apply the very powerful tool of secondary color correction using the free Synthetic Aperture plug-in 'Color Finesse'. A quick and easy way to colour correct your footage using Adobe After Effects. Drone footage from Ever Green RC: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy7b57BgGbE.

Note: The Beat has some instructions on how to install the presets if you don't know how.

Not a preset but a tutorial from Premium Beat, learn more about Color Grading in Layers in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects or SpeedGrade. “Use different layers in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or SpeedGrade to organize your grade and make easy adjustments, even on a large scale!” This is how I have done it for years, especially when I'm compositing green screen elements on a background.

Okay, now to the freebies.

1. Premiere Pro Color Presets from Jarle Leirpoll

The Adobe Premiere Pro Presets come from from Jarle Leirpoll and Premierepro.net. They were posted a couple of years ago for Premiere Pro 5.5, but there is no reason they shouldn't work in newer versions, including CC.

2. Color Presets for After Effects from Fenchel & Janisch

Fenchel & Janisch provides the AE Presets, which they say work in AE CS5.5 and CS6. I believe they should work fine in AE CC too.
