The Color Boardįor the purpose of this quick tutorial, we are going to use the Color Board panel in Final Cut Pro to make our adjustments. The most important part is understanding what the footage needs to look more organic, as opposed to which tools you use to get there. One quick note before we jump into the recommended iPhone color grading workflow –Īlthough this post focuses on settings adjustments you can make within Final Cut Pro, these exact same principles can of course be applied in any other video editing software, including DaVinci Resolve and Premiere Pro. But today, I want to share a quick tip for improving your footage that was shot with the native Apple camera, which is also capable of great results. There are workflows for achieving those type of results using third party apps (like the incredible Filmic Proapp). In any case, if you’re reading this article you are likely trying to break out of the stock iPhone aesthetic and find something more tasteful for your project. It’s not that there is anything “wrong” with the native iPhone look per se, but it’s just not exclusively intended for filmmakers seeking a polished narrative or high end documentary look. This is a result of many factors – sharpening, internal processing, small sensor size, and to a large degree color science. With that said though, iPhone footage does still come off the camera with a baked-in video look. And as I’ve learned recently, the raw footage is very easy to grade – or even match to other cameras like the Arri Alexa. Virtually any iPhone model released in the last 4 – 5 years is capable of producing pretty incredible video results in the right hands. In this quick post I am going to walk you through a very simple color grading workflow that will elevate your iPhone footage and make it appear as if it were shot on a cinema camera.
