Clipchamp: Color correction and grading
Clipchamp
Demo summary
The user demonstrates adjusting exposure, color temperature, contrast, and saturation across multiple selected clips.
Step-by-step
- Select all clips in the timeline to apply changes simultaneously.
- Click on the Adjust colors tab in the side menu.
- Adjust the Exposure slider to make the footage brighter or darker.
- Modify the Color temperature slider to add blue (cool) or yellow/orange (warm) tones.
- Adjust the Contrast slider to increase or decrease the difference between light and dark areas.
- Use the Saturation slider to control the intensity of the colors.
Options
- Apply preset 'looks' or filters like Filmic, Black and White, or Retro Graphics under the Effects tab.
- Adjust B-roll clips individually using the same color adjustment process.
Tips
- Adjust exposure first before moving on to other color settings.
- Keep color temperature adjustments minor for a natural look.
- Avoid boosting saturation too high as it can look terrible; use subtle increases instead.
