I’m still relatively new to the possibilities of premiere and ae. My filmic look is simply based on placing a film grain overlay over footage. However, I have experimented with denoising in ae then adding the film overlay then exporting as prores 444. Looked the same and I lost all my sound haha, but when I went to color correct I had a bit more place to move.
I’m hoping that the prores will work with premiere and ae in the two above mentioned techniques.
I use magic bullet to color correct and grade. The Lumetri would have saved me money haha.
I haven’t tried speedgrad. Is that in the premiere or is that a plug in?
I know it’s funny to debate prores vs h.264 when I don’t fully understand everything, however, I hate rebuying the same thing when I learn more. Best to spend a little extra now then redo it all later.
