Color Correction & Grading Phone Footage with Evan Schneider

Color Correction & Grading Phone Footage with Evan Schneider — Make Travel Footage Look Cinema-Ready

The gist: A hands-on lesson in phone video color grading taught by professional colorist Evan Schneider — teaches travel videographers how to take straight-out-of-phone footage to a finished, cinematic look without expensive software.

• Correction before grading: Covers how to fix exposure, white balance, and skin tones first — the foundational step most beginner colorists skip that makes the grade actually work.
• Phone-specific workflow: Focused on footage shot on a smartphone, addressing the unique characteristics (log profiles, noise, HDR) of mobile video — not adapted from a cinema camera workflow.
• Professional instructor: Evan Schneider is a working colorist and co-creator of LUT Co, known for professional-grade color tools built for mobile and independent video creators.
• Accessible entry cost: At $10, it’s a low-risk way to build a repeatable color pipeline for travel content before investing in more advanced grading software or courses.

Moment’s official course description says color correction and grading is “what brings your straight-out-of-phone footage to something that belongs on the big screen,” with Schneider teaching a professional approach to the full correction-to-grade pipeline.

Best for: Travel videographers and vloggers who shoot on iPhone and want their footage to look polished and intentional rather than raw and phone-like. Skip it if: You already have a color grading workflow you’re happy with — this is most valuable as a foundation for those starting from scratch. Runs ~$10 — check the current price before buying.
