Color grading and motion

1. Step 1

   Select a video or image, open Color, and add Color grading. Adjust exposure first, then temperature and tint. Use contrast, highlights and shadows to balance the image.

2. Step 2

   Avoid pushing saturation too far. Compare your changes with Bypass grade; Reset grade restores the neutral settings. Presets are starting points, not automatic corrections for every clip.

3. Step 3

   To animate a property, put the playhead inside the clip and tap its diamond icon. Move to a later time and change its value. Add another keyframe if needed.

4. Step 4

   Open Animation to inspect numeric channels and change easing. The property speed graph describes the motion of that property, not changes in the source video’s playback speed.
