How to Color Grade ANY TYPE of Video in Premiere Pro 2025! (Start to Finish)

Color grading doesn’t have to feel like a mystery, and in this tutorial, I’m giving you a complete, in-depth guide to grading your footage in Premiere Pro—whether it’s LOG or non-LOG. This isn’t just about learning the technical steps; we’ll also dive into the concepts that will make you better at color grading overall. I’ll start with a bit of color theory to help you understand the ‘why’ behind the choices you make—like how to balance colors, enhance moods, and create visual harmony in your footage. Then we’ll move on to the functional side, covering everything from correcting exposure and white balance to fine-tuning contrast, saturation, and highlights. I’ll show you my full workflow step by step, sharing all the tips and tricks I’ve learned as a hobbyist over the years. Full disclosure: I don’t have a color-calibrated monitor, and if you don’t either, that’s totally fine! Just keep in mind that what we’re seeing may not be perfectly accurate, but I’ll guide you to get the best results possible regardless of your setup. By the end of this video, you’ll have a strong foundation in both the theory and practical application of color grading, so you can confidently transform your footage into something that looks polished and professional.
