Body: <p>I am new to video editing and would like to know how to color my videos like the professionals do. I can always tell the difference between an amateur video shot with a Handycam and a professional movie, and I think part of that difference is in the coloring. I have a screenshot from a video with beautiful coloring, and I would like to apply it to my family videos. Is there a simple way to do this?<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/omSqT.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/omSqT.png" alt="Perfect color correction 1" /></a></p>
