Each scene will change after 5 seconds. First land, then skies.

What do you think about the final transformation of each scene?




Thanks.

Adobe Premiere.

Then, changed Opacity on different layers.

On YouTube, check the description. There will be a link to a tutorial that I based the tests on.

Actually, there it is:

Looks better, but i would use masks so that you don't get a underexposed image of the ground and slightly overexposed on the sky. Some shots the contrast will work, but a for a base grade it's not always suitable.

I got of YouTube. Unfortunately don't remember from where.

The name of the song is parallel.

If you find it, please let me know.

Thanks.

Yes you are correct.

I had to reduce exposure of the sky but ran out of time.

The use of gradual ND's (which the guy in the video use)  is nice for static camera shots where horizon is centered in the frame, but won't work very well when you move the camera..

It does actually. The biggest work on my test was the last shot.

You create a path with few points and move it around as the camera moves. Premiere helps you with that.

That is similar to the work he did with the water.

Think you misunderstood, i meant that the gradual  physical ND filter is less effective (as the guy stated he used in the Youtube video) unless you have you'r horizon at the same level in the frame.

Premiere CC 2015 offers new color correction  tools, which is nice if you'r new to grading and don't need a full grading suite. But it simply can't match SG for grading and masking. The mask needed is simple and won't take much time for SG to calculate.

Yes I did misunderstood, sorry.

Not sure how the graduation is done but you definitely have a point.

I think the video was a good demonstration and I like the results.  I do think, however that the last one was a bit weak.  Perhaps it just wasn't a great scene.

AWSOME! Thank you so much. I've watched it twice, an I'm not a novice! However, I can't figure out how you inserted an adjustment layer - I'm on CS 6, perhaps it's not available on CS 6? Photoshop, easy, PPro, a bit confusing.
Thanks

Try this...
Do you know the window that has all shots, music and all that you can use in the movie?
There, create new item, adjustment layer.
Then drop the layer in one of the video channels. Must be above of the other channels.

But yes, takes few hours to get used to Premiere but, the more I learn, the more I like and the more things make sense.
