Fast Color Grading in After Effects with Four-Color Gradient @Incredibletutorials

Uploaded January 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Need a quick “final look” for your scene? In this Short, I create a simple color grade using an Adjustment Layer + Four-Color Gradient, then use blend modes to dial in mood and atmosphere.

What’s covered:

New Adjustment Layer (Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + Y)
Apply Four-Color Gradient (Effects & Presets → Gradients)
Change the 4 corner colors (ex: dark reds + warm yellows)
Test blend modes like Darken, Multiply, and Color Burn

Move the adjustment layer between stacks to affect only the background (great for haze/atmosphere)
