  Adobe Premiere Pro Setting (Indie Style Look)

  Posted by Henry Shew on December 28, 2014 at 5:20 am

  Hi!

  This is my first post and I apologize if I posted on the wrong forum.

  I have a question about color grading or correction settings. I’ve been searching on the internet for a while for a tutorial on how to achieve an Indie style feel video. When I say “Indie style”, I meant the color correction or grading. When I see Indie style videos or commercial, you get this unique feel that the color is not as vibrant and the video is slightly fuzzy/blurry.

  How do I achieve that on Adobe Premiere Pro? What kind of specific settings do I need to toggle to achieve that?

  Below are examples that have the style that I want to achieve: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqYIvgoQNHk and this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwEVsxo_o0E

  this is what I would do in after effects:

  Curves > these settings (change them depending on input footage) https://i.imgur.com/UAguiGU.jpg (photoshop curves, you won’t get the spectrogram in after FX) – What I did there was: I pushed the blacks to be lighter and decontrasted the image(top right). Added a bit of reds to the highs. Took out a bit of green and blue from the blacks and that’s it.
  Hue/Saturation > Saturate the colors a bit
  Brightness contrast > Bring up brightness a bit, bring down contrast

  Here’s what I got: https://i.imgur.com/9I7VtME.jpg

  I think this is the effect you’re looking for

  Thanks! That’s the effect I want to achieve.
  I lowered the red highlight a little bit to achieve a more balanced tone of the video.
