Basic Color Grading [After Effects CS3/4/5]- Tutorial #1

A super basic color grading tutorial that i made just to show some of the ways you can alter your footage and bring it up to the next level. Keep in mind that what I do in this tutorial will not look good on all clips, however i am showing you the tools that can be used to get great footage for any clip. Remember; Experiment with these effects for each clip to see how you can get thebest look for each individual one!

Footage shot on Canon HV40 (1080p HD)
Screen Captured using Screenium (Mac)- great program by the way, definitely look into it if you want a good screen capture software.
