When color grading or color correcting your footage, it's important to make sure that your skin tones look good. Correcting skin tones and getting them to look natural can be tricky to do especially if you have a variety of sin tones in your footage.

In this video, I’m going to show you how to correct skin tones in Final Cut Pro, but I specifically want to do two examples. One where we correct a light skin tone and one where we correct a dark skin tone. Along the way, I’m also going to give you 5 tips that will help you to correct any kind of skin tone.

On this channel you’ll find Final Cut Pro tutorials, filmmaking and photography tips and other things like travel vlogs when we Donna and I get the chance to travel, so if you enjoy that sort of thing then please subscribe to the channel.
