In this episode, we'll bring life to a dull footage using 6 tone sliders, while reading the waveform to ensure the results are measurable. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The tone section in Basic Correction controls the light and dark of the image. A good order is exposure first, then contrast, followed by highlights and shadows, and finally white and blacks for the white and black points.
The drone footage of the misty village looks gray and flat. On the waveform, all data is stacked in the middle, with nothing approaching 0 or 100. An image like this is called flat.
The mist has made the image already very bright, so lower the exposure slightly, around minus 0.15. Then increase the contrast to 35. The waveform starts to stretch upwards and downwards, making the image look more defined. Lower the blacks to minus 35 until the bottom part of the waveform touches around 0.
Raise the white slightly to 5, enough so the top part approaches 95 without being cut off. The image now has deep blacks and clean whites.
The mist and sky are still too bright, so lower the highlights to minus 45 to restore the mist clumps' details. Raise the shadows slightly to 10 so the dark trees don't lose detail.
Tonal correction makes the colors feel more vivid, but it's still pale. Increase the saturation to 125. The green trees and roof of the house start to appear without being overdone.
Turn off basic correction to compare. The dull and flat footage is now transformed into a clear and deep misty morning scene. Play the clip to see the result in motion.
Done. We've already learned about flat footage in the waveform, adjusting exposure and contrast, setting black and white points with blacks and whites, saving details with highlights and shadows, increasing saturation, and comparing the results. In the next episode, we'll discuss saturation and vibrance. Need a product video, business profile video, reels and TikTok content, or subtitles for YouTube videos.
