Once footage is technically corrected, color grading is the creative process of adjusting colors to establish a specific mood or cinematic style — such as the warm orange-and-teal look common in action films, or a desaturated, cool tone for a somber scene. This lesson covers using tools like Lumetri Color (in Premiere Pro) or Color Correction effects in After Effects to shift highlights, midtones, and shadows independently, and how popular color styles are achieved through specific hue and saturation adjustments.
