[ZeDBeE85]

Awesome video.... please could you tell me how you achieve that anamorphic effect with the footage in Adobe premiere... if not in premiere then please tell me how you achieved in in After effects.

thank you

[Subal33t]

Hey Luke, just quick question, How do you cc footage? first you go to after effects color it render it out and then trim it? or do you trim it render it out and then Color correct it in AAE? or is there any other way?

THanks

[HiSpeedMovies]

man, this is the tutorial i've ever been waiting for!!! thanks for sharing your knowledge =)

[Hutchness]

Very Awesome quality and Colors have to say , bravo ,

but i do need a little help , if you don't mind sharing the " Rendering settings " in After effects , to get this HD quality , with suitable size to upload with ..!?!? =)

much appreciated in advance .

[harimay01]

Hey i just created a video response.look at that.the moving character is not smooth. shot at 1080p 30fps and shutter speed 60 and converted into 23.976 fps.I used premiere pro.what wrong am i doing ? Thanks.

[TheOfficialStuff]

What program is this?

[HiSpeedMovies]

@TheOfficialStuff

after effects

[snostorm8]

hi dude, i need a favour, if i record a clip on my t2i at 60 fps and rerender it in vegas for editing at 60fps also, should i render it all out in after effects at 23.976 fps? and also when using twixtor for slomo, should i have the input frame rate at 59 or 23? i can't seem to find these answers anywhere. Thanks!!

[imask8r]

@snostorm8 for twixtor record in 1280x720 @ 60fps with a shutter speed somewhere in between 1/2000-1/4000, than in twixtor your input would be 59.97 slow mo it render it at 59.97 fps than in vegas you can do your final render at 23.476 or 24 fps:) hope that helps i know you asked 2 months ago

[SVR08]

oh snap... i will try that right about...... NOW lol ok i hope that works well.

man your videos are so cool. i am currently working on some music videos, but dont have all that equipment. i just shoot with the t2i, a tripod, a shoulder mount and a DIY tripod dolly track. all i need now is to be good in color correction just like you. btw i love Cemtario

[SVR08]

ok cause i just simply make a new foldr on my hard drive and transfer over from memory card then when i edit in premiere i make the project size 1080 23.976 fps but i guess i just need practice.

[Dod3032]

@SVR08 That's all fine, what about on export though?

[SVR08]

@Dod3032 on export i do interlaced then i set quality to 100

then 23.976 fps and its something like 1920 X 1080 px.

[Dod3032]

@SVR08 Interlacing might be it, don't check that. You want to choose "None Progressive Scan" for field order.

[SVR08]

can you do me a huge favor bro and please tell me what im doing worng with my videos? if you look at the video i shot titled the take off. you can tell that when the guy in the video moves the motion looks kinda funny. im shotting in 1080p 24 fps and editing on premiere pro cs3 and i want teh movemet to look as smooth as yours

[Neumannfilms]

@SVR08 You have to make sure to save your files in 24fps...when I say that, I mean 23.976.

[SVR08]

@Neumannfilms so when i export them into my computer they have to be saved in 24 fps or when i export my project as a whole? and thanks for the quick reply i been watching your videos for like 4 months now

[Neumannfilms]

@SVR08 Well basically just the whole time. Keep everything at 23.976

[NekoFox08]

I was wondering, I only have magic bullet looks. is there anything specific that might be missing in magic bullet looks that would otherwise really help make a cool color correction? I hear looks is one of the best of the magic bullet's, but I can help but worry that it doesn't have it all :S

[Dod3032]

@NekoFox08 Our Color Correction presets might be worth a looksies :) Neumannfilms(dot)com

Sorry, Youtube doesn't allow URL's/

[PS3Comedy]

Could you tell me the lens used in the wide shot of one character walking towards the camera?

[machismania2]

how to add these presets in sony vagas pro 10???????

[Neumannfilms]

@machismania2 Ha ha, well...we just came out with a presets bundle you might be interested in. It doesn't have the exact preset shown here but I tried to duplicate it! You can head over to the Neumann Films.com website for more info!

[machismania2]

@Neumannfilms ya they are awasome

but as i m a beginner so i just want to work with presets you used in this video

i have downloaded it but i cant fin them in my sony vagas pro 10

can you help me how to add them in sony vagas pro10???

thanx

[Neumannfilms]

@machismania2 You can't use the ones in the description of this video in Sony Vegas 10, the ones from my site work with Vegas though, the ones on this site are just for Adobe After Effects.

[machismania2]

@Neumannfilms thanx

[dothisdothat321]

Hi thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials, your knowledge is as good as gold. I can see the majority of the beauty to your films is the fine tuning of color correction in after effects which alot of people dont take the time to do correctly!

[joshjoshuaaa]

Hey ! awesome tutorial. It would be interesting to know the lens, the shutter speed, the aperture and iso for each shot. What sort of picture style do you used ?

[jdsimpson21]

Is there any way you all could do a step by step tutorial of basic color grading. Everyone seems to just "fiddle" until it looks cool. Is there a standard "1,2,3 for basic color correction? Not going for a specific look, maybe take it from "flat" picture style and work it to a finished, cinema looking, balanced shot. Does that make sense? Thanks and I love your stuff.

[Eeliasmedia]

I've been wondering. You did a tutorial on color correction within sony vegas. You said you could render it in a codec that was easy to work with while cutting and editing within sony vegas. I cant find that codec in after effects, so when I render it gets all laggy and choppy in vegas. Thanks in advance.

Elias

[freaksarise]

Man i miss working projects this intricate n strategic. Used to do a lot of jobs with 3d studio max, after fx, n then cut it all together. Much more efficient processes these days. This is very well planned and clean! Great work as always. Thank you!

[SquareballTV]

great job

[mox23]

Luke FTW!! keep em coming!

[raymercado]

THIS ROCK thank you so much sir! and your wife is beautiful and a good actress! WEEEE!! sir just 3 questions 1. what do you think of 60d on 550d? and whats the setting of your picture style Sharpness, contrast, color tone, brightness, saturation.

and hopefull you can show us your render setting for after effect to be edited in Sony VEgas and from sony vegas to render setting to youtube. please:)

[TwoPlusFourIsSe7en]

thank you very much for these awesome tutorials..one quick question though: what picture style setting do you use when you go shooting? like the flattest one? and if so, could you please tell me the exact settings in the camera? Cheers! :)

[Hutchness]

Chapeau  =) ..

[jellis4289]

great work... as usual...

[Neumannfilms]

@candlePrince I can't find it anywhere, I included the link to the preset itself in the description of this video.

[Calif0rnIan]

Darn, seems like the plugin only works for vegas :(

[Neumannfilms]

@Calif0rnIan This is for After Effects!

[CaramelBrowniez]

can i ask, do you pay for all of these plug ins or do you use torrents or that kind of thing??? im wondering because all of this stuff is very expensive

[Neumannfilms]

@CaramelBrowniez I pay for them. Yeah, it's expensive for sure, the preset from this one is free though!

[CaramelBrowniez]

@Neumannfilms yeah but they dont seem togive you the freedom that something like magic bullet looks does. oh and do you have to only buy it once for both vegas and ae or for each separately??

[Dod3032]

@CaramelBrowniez Magic Bullet Looks is a very good plug in. These presets are decent and I bought them back before I knew much about it...I still use them quite a bit though!

[CaramelBrowniez]

@Dod3032 yer they dont look too bad tbh. i was wondering if you have any more presets that i could use??

[Dod3032]

@CaramelBrowniez Yeah, the Improved Color one was a part of this free "Cinematic" pack that had some other pretty good ones.

[Neumannfilms]

@CaramelBrowniez Re uploaded the link and it now has the other presets included.

[CaramelBrowniez]

@Neumannfilms thanks these are pretty good actually!!

[iguanacruda]

pretty good tutorials luke. Just one question. What after effects version you used? I have AE cs4 and I havent seen the clone tool.

[Neumannfilms]

@iguanacruda Really? It's in there somewhere...I use CS3

[Eeliasmedia]

Hey Luke, awesome tutorials! Did you only use after effects with magic bullet for color correction? No vegas for CC?

[Neumannfilms]

@Eeliasmedia There were a couple of scenes with a white balance change that I had to do a little Vegas work on...nothing crazy though

[MediaUnlocked]

great vid man

[Neumannfilms]

@MediaUnlocked Thanks!

[drumat5280]

I just wanted to say that your latest tutorials totally rock! Great job, please keep it up. I am learning a ton from you. I will try to emulate what I have learned from your tutorials and share it with others.

[Neumannfilms]

@drumat5280 Thank you sir!

[KnivesMonroe]

You make it look so easy. Well this was very informative.

[Neumannfilms]

@KnivesMonroe thank you sir.

[themorningperson]

what picture profile did you shoot on? advance flat? superflat?its mostly nice out of the camera..i subbed. too bad i dont have that look suite gradient...its great though.

[Neumannfilms]

@themorningperson I shot this on a Custom flat preset.

[MissingReelFilms]

Hey, love these videos! :) I was just wondering if the magic lantern increases quality at all? and what lens/lens's did you use for the "Winter in Oregon" film? the quality was amazing! :D

[Neumannfilms]

@MissingReelFilms Mostly the 50mm f 1.8, some 55-250 IS and a little 18-55mm IS.

[VanbrabantP]

thank you very much for the tutorial!

I was hoping to see a bit more 3-way color correction and stuff, instead of presets, but thats alright, as long as the result is beautiful (and it is very much so!)

[Neumannfilms]

@VanbrabantP Yeah, I am getting more into that method now, so maybe in a future tutorial :)

[UglyMcGregor]

Great Stuff!

[VishalSinghFilms]

YES I've been waiting for this, I knew my insomnia would come in handy. Thanks for all the help dude, every t2i filmmaker owes you something at this point haha

[Neumannfilms]

@VishalSinghFilms No problem! Enjoy :)
