Color correction advice. What do you think ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

increasingdifficulty:
I think you managed to remove the magenta tint quite well.

It's also a bit hard to compare on a split screen like that (unless you mirror one side) - it's much easier if you can see the whole shot. We don't know if the left side is blown out in the original for example. I do see a bit of banding in the sky, which could just be YouTube compression, too much contrast, or both.

Another little trick that makes something look professionally graded is that shadows and highlights are usually much less saturated than the midtones, so you need something that can split the saturation into three bands.

SpaceStockFootage:
My first impression was "impressive work... but it looks a bit purple" and then I realised that the one on the right is the original footage! Keep the colour changes... reduce the contrast by about 50%. Maybe a touch more. Bob's your uncle. 

Chichikov:
The good one is the right part, yes?

In the left part there is too much contrast and no detail in the highlights

Hello Guys,

Thank you again for your feedbacks! They are very useful for me.

@increasingdifficulty can the saturation of the of the shadows and highlights be managed in Premiere Pro ?

@SpaceStockFootage, @Chichikov the left version is the graded one :) I will try to play with contrast then. Regarding the highlight their are burned in the some part of the clouds in the original footage already.

When seeing the video i'm still not really satisfied by the result. I looks like i have some haze (fog) and that shot is not popping a lot. What do you think ?

 :)

Looks a little weird, but not far off either.  Maybe you don't need to use log and just shoot with what you see is what you get approach.  Unless shooting in RAW, compressed vides images don't have much range for post color correction.  Therefore, it's better to shoot with color you want in final product.
