How to color grade Video in Photoshop Camera Raw

The best tool for Color Grading in Photoshop is Camera Raw.

“What?” You might say? “I didn’t even know that you could use Camera Raw with video”. Yes, you can, and you can get really great results. It’s as easy as editing a photo in ACR.

This tutorial walks you though all the steps for using Camera Raw for editing the color and tone of your videos. The important thing, is to make a Smart Object first. I show 2 examples. The first, we go through the steps very quickly. The second example, I explain how to get video into Photoshop, how to apply a cinematic Color grade and how to export the video. This tutorial is for Photoshop CC.

I will be adding the written steps soon.

I have 2 premium courses on Photoshop and video if you want to learn more. I also wrote a book with Peachpit Press called Video in Photoshop.

• Video In Photoshop
• Making Movies in Photoshop

Thanks for watching

5. My tool of choice for video is my cell phone with a Rhode mile attached—quick, easy and I always have it with me. May not be studio quality but does well for Face Book and you tube posts.

6. You make it look so easy!, but I know it’s a LONG road from very basic photoshop, where I am, to where you are. You might sell a lot of videos if provided a map… ??? I think
