Saturation

What is saturation?

Saturation refers to the intensity of colors in a video. If you increase saturation, it makes colors seem more vivid, while decreasing saturation results in more muted tones. 

Adjusting saturation can help improve the visual appeal of a video, especially if the lighting while recording was not optimal.

What is high saturation?

When a video is highly saturated, colors seem more vibrant. This technique is often used to make a scene visually striking, but if you increase the saturation by a lot, it can sometimes lead to unnatural or exaggerated hues.

How do I make my video more saturated?

  • Open your video editing software.
  • Find the Color Correction or Color Grading tools.
  • Adjust the Saturation slider to increase the color intensity.
  • Fine-tune other settings like Contrast or Exposure if needed.

How to enhance the color of a video

  • Increase the saturation and contrast in your video editing software.
  • Use color grading tools like LUTs (Look-Up Tables) to apply specific color tones or moods.
  • Fine-tune hue and vibrance for more control over specific color ranges.
