Is there a quick and effective way to colour grade work
I film and edit corporate videos for a living but I am yet to figure out a decent way to colour grade my work to give it a nice final look. I attempted at using Speed Grade but it looks quite advanced and I know nothing about grading. I downloaded a lite (free) version of Resolve the other day but still seems a little advanced considering how little I know. I also tried using some magic look stuff that has added into Premiere’s effects called Lumetri Looks. I like the ease of use of this but the looks seem very over the top to me and all very cinematic when I just need basic alterations. I shoot from a DSLR in a flat profile and simply want to make the footage pop more, look more vivid (corporate look basically)
Any Ideas on the best thing for me to use? -

You should be able to do all you need with the Three-Way Color Corrector in Premiere. Adjust the Input Levels sliders in a bit to give your video some pop and punch. Bring up the saturation, once they look normal then bump it up a bit. For a little extra charm for your corporate clients, use Magic Bullets Looks. It has a Cosmo filter that makes skin look very pleasing and that makes for happy clients. Plus, Magic Bullet Looks is much more user friendly for the non-colorist to add some nice touches.
