Color Correction Basics (S-LOG Footage)

S-Log is a gamma curve optimized for digital cameras to maximize the image sensor’s performance. Although these videos may look flat and washed out, they contain lots of color information. Even better, video creators can use color correction to edit the S-Log videos and make them look as natural as possible. That’s what this article is all about.

How to Color-Correct an S-Log Footage

This tutorial assumes that you already have an S-Log footage. If not, you can record S-Log footage using most Canon, Sony, and Panasonic cameras.

Let’s get to the steps!

Step1 Adjust the color settings

Start by adding your video to the timeline on Wondershare Filmora and then double-click the video track. Then, click on the Color tab before tapping Advanced.

Step2 Read and study the histogram

Now you’ll see the Advanced Color Correction pop-up window. Here, you’ll see a histogram with the brightest point on the right and the darkest point on the left. From our example, you can see that the video has more dark pixels than bright ones. Horizontally, the histogram shows you how many pixels are in a certain range of brightness.

Step3 Adjust the image colors

Once you’ve understood the histogram, look for pure black and white parts on the video clip. For example, in this video, you can see that the roofs are pure black and the boat at the bottom-right corner is pure white.

After finding the white and black parts in the video, go to the Light section, then adjust the Highlights to see if you can get a pure white on the boat. If the boat or any other image of your choice doesn’t look pure white, increase the Whites slide to make it whiter.

Now adjust the Shadows settings to reduce the effect and make the roofs look closer to pure black. If you want the roofs to look darker, drag the Blacks slider to the left.

Pro tip: Ensure that the darkest and brightest points don’t cross the broken lines on the edge, or the video will start losing details.

Step4 Adjust the color saturation

Does your video still look a little flat? Probably yes! In that case, click the Color section and adjust the Saturation slider to the right to make the video less flat. Saturation simply means how colorful a video clip is to the viewer. Apart from the color saturation, you can also adjust the Vibrance to make your video objects look more colorful.

Step5 Preview and compare the video

Now it’s time to check and compare the results. To make it easier, click the Eye icon at the top-right corner to switch between the original S-Log video and the color-corrected clip. You can also tap the AB icon and choose Split View-Left/Right to view the clips in the side-by-side mode.

Summary

I guess that was easy, right? Up to this juncture, you should be able to perform basic color correction on your video using Wondershare Filmora. Remember, this video editor packs many other editing tools to bring out your creativity. Give it a try!

You can create an attractive intro by adding text behind objects that captivate the viewer. It ensures that your subscribers stay tuned to your channel and your content.

Build up a solid audience

Every day can be a real struggle if you are a daily content creator on YouTube. The audience demands good content. But your daily videos can get boring if you do not use new methods to edit your videos.

You can add text behind videos to spice up your intros and hook your daily audience even more. That will show the audience that you are genuinely putting in the effort.

Part 2. What Will You Need To Add Text Behind Videos?

Now there are a few things that you will need to add text behind videos. First, take a look at the basic priorities to perform this feature.

1. A Static Object Video

Adding text behind an object can be tricky if the object isn’t static. For example, the effect will be ruined if an object moves around a lot in a video.

Our goal is to create a smooth text behind the video effect. And this can only be achieved if the target object remains static in the video and does not move about its position.

We will first look at the static video example. For this, follow the below instructions:

• You have to start by importing your video in the import library.
• From the import library, you can click on the video and drag it down below to the timeline.

Note: Adding video to the timelines will allow you to create a workspace to edit your video.

Now let’s move on to how we will add the text tile to our video.

Step3 Add the Text Tile

It is time to add the text tile you will animate behind the object. To do that, follow the steps mentioned as such.:

• Go to the Titles icon on the bar above the import library.
• A drop-down option will be available on the left side.
• Scroll down to the Plain text.
• Here, you can see many text tiles to add to your video.
• You can choose anyone you like.
• The most commonly used tile is the Basic 6.
• When you add the text tile to the timeline, you must ensure that the text is of equal length to the video.
• To do that, drag the right corner of the text tile and drag it to the right to match the length of the video.

Step4 Edit the Text Tile

After you have added the text tile you desire, you need to type in the text. For this article, we will keep it simple. We will be typing a simple statement such as “Hello, World.“

• Double-click the Text tile to open the settings menu.
• After the settings menu is opened, type in the text box on the import window.

You will notice changes on the main window that your text has changed.

• After the text appears, you can make the font look as desired.
• Look above the text window, and you will see the type of text font selected.
• Click on the drop-down option and choose whatever you like.

Let’s move on to animate the text tile.

Step5 Animate the text tile

After adding text, it is time to animate it. This animation will decide how your text will appear behind the target object.

• First, you must open the text settings by double-clicking on the text tile in the timeline.
• In the settings opened in the import window, you will have to click on the animation tab in the upper left corner, aside from the Preset
• Now scroll down to where you will see the Right Roll
• Click on Right Roll and then click on the OK in the bottom right corner of the import window.

Note: You may notice now that the text appears in front of our object. Don’t worry now! We are getting there. With a few simple steps, we will see the results.

Now let us move on to the more significant part of the editing, masking the object. Again, look ahead to see how you can mask the object!

Step6 Mask the Object

To mask our object, we will need to be technical. We will begin by adding the same footage of the static object on our timeline. Follow the steps mentioned below:

• Drag and drop the static object footage above the timeline text. Make sure the text stays in the middle of the sandwich.

• We will hide the video in the first track to simplify things. In addition, this will make our editing easier.
• We will have to look in the effects library to insert the masking effect.
• You can see the Effects icon on the bar at the top.
• Click on the Effects.
• You will see the search bar at the top of the import window.
• In the search bar, type in Image mask.
• Drag the Image mask effect on the video above the text tile.

Now the masking effect has been added. But we would have to adjust so that it stays upon our object.

• Double-click on the video and the settings option will open up.
• Go into the Effects

Note: You must select your target object’s mask shape exactly as its shape.

• We have to mask out a building, so that we will need a vertical rectangle.

• After you have selected the shape of your object, we will need to convert it to the object’s size so that it only masks the building.
• To do that, scroll down below the import window to the settings.
• Here you can see the X, Y, and width settings.
• First, move the width bar so that it matches the width of the building.

• Now drag the X bar until the mask is confined to the building. You would have created the mask only limited to the building.

• Once you complete this step, click OK in the bottom right corner.
• Now un-hide the original video that you imported in the beginning.

Finally, play the video in the main play window from the beginning.

You have successfully created a text behind the object effect. Now that you know how to add text behind static objects let us move to learn how to add text to a video that has high contrast and a clean background.

Add text behind a high contrast and clean background

Besides the text can be added behind a static object, it can also be added to a clean background with high contrast. But how is it? Let’s dive into it.

Step1 Import the video into the timeline

• Import the video from the location in your PC media.

• On the left drop-down option, scroll down to the titles.
• Select the Plain text option.
• You will notice that multiple options will pop up in the import window.
• Select the text title that suits you best.
• After you have selected the text style, drag and drop it down above your video in the timeline.

• Our next step would be to add the text.
• Double-click on the text tile. Doing so will open the settings menu in the import window.
• Type in the text that you want. For reference, we will keep it simple such as, “Hello world.”
• You can also adjust the font of your text.
• Above the type box, a drop-down option will show you the range of fonts available.
• Select the font you desire.

Now that you have added the text, it is time to animate it.

Step3 Take a snapshot

After typing in the text, you will notice in the main play window that your text still appears in front of your object. Therefore, we want to take it behind the object. To do so, first, you will need to take a snapshot.

Follow the steps mentioned to take a snapshot:

• Hide the main video. You can see the Eye icon aside from your main video in the edit column on the left side of the timeline.
• Click on the Eye icon to hide the main video.
• In the main play window, you will notice that the screen turns black, which leaves only the text on the screen.

• In the main play screen, you can notice a small camera icon.
• This camera icon is used to take snapshots of your screen.
• Click on the camera icon to take a snapshot of your screen.
• Your snapshot will now be saved in the main import window.

Step4 Add the snapshot

After taking it, your goal is to import it into the timeline. To perform this action, perform the following steps:

• Before adding the snapshot to the timeline, we must delete the main text tile.
• Then drag and drop the snapshot from the import library into the timeline above the video.
• Make sure that the snapshot is aligned well with the length of the video.
• If it is longer than the video, drag it from the right to match the length of the video.
• If its length is smaller than the video, drag it to the right to increase its length.

After adding the snapshot, we will have to change its blending mode.

Step5 Change the blending of the snapshot

To create the effect of your text behind the video, you must alter the main text’s blending mode. In this case, it will be the snapshot we took.

Note: Changing the blending mode of the snapshot will allow it to blend with the transparent background and will create the effect of the text behind the object in the video.

Follow the steps mentioned below to change the blending of the snapshot:

• Double-click the snapshot.
• If you select the compositing tab, the blending options will pop up.
• From default, it would be set to Normal. Click on the Normal
• It will show a drop-down option.
• Scroll down below until you can see an option labeled Then click on Overlay.

• And press OK in the bottom right corner to confirm your changes.

The text can be blended with the background.

• Click on the Eye icon to un-hide the video from the timeline.
• Now play the video from the start from the main play screen to see the final changes.

Congratulations! The above steps allow you to add text behind objects in your videos.
