Andrew Devis and Karl Soule have both been creating excellent video tutorials about color correction and color grading recently, so I thought that it would be useful to gather links to them together in one place for convenience.

Andrew’s tutorials, especially, go far beyond just showing the UI controls in a specific piece of software. He also gives great advice that’s relevant to color correction with any tool, such as working in a room with constant lighting and frequently resetting your eyes to real-world neutral by looking away from the computer screen.

There’s more information about color correction in general and Color Finesse specifically on the Adobe website:

• “Color correction and adjustment” in Adobe Premiere Pro Help
• “Color correction, color grading, and color adjustment” in After Effects Help
• “Resources for Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse” in After Effects Help
