Module 15: Professional finishing and delivery
Colour correction with Lumetri Color
Key points
- Lumetri Color offers basic correction, curves, wheels and HSL controls.
- Fix exposure and white balance first, then apply a creative look.
- Scopes such as the waveform show levels more reliably than your eyes.
Dynamic Link with Premiere Pro
Key points
- Dynamic Link sends Premiere clips to After Effects without rendering.
- Changes in After Effects update automatically in the Premiere timeline.
- Rendering heavy linked comps before final export can improve playback.
Speeding up previews and renders
Key points
- Lower preview resolution and region of interest make previews faster.
- Pre-rendering or proxies help with heavy compositions.
- Clearing the disk cache and keeping it on a fast drive helps performance.
Working to a client brief and revisions
Key points
- A clear brief records length, format, style and deadline before you start.
- Share low-resolution drafts at agreed milestones for feedback.
- Agree the number of revision rounds in advance to protect the schedule.
