To be the very best TF2 editor, you will need these things:

* Team Fortress 2 – free 2 play game on steam, get it right NOW
* Software to edit your footage
* Magic Bullet Looks – find the right version for your PC

I am sorry, but this is good for frag shows max. You should always re-think the colors for every video, figure out a theme, go with that theme. There is nothing wrong with going out of the TF2 look a little, if you do it right. What you did was played with the brightness and contrast the whole time and adjusted the color temperature a little, thats it. No actual color grading, color theory, nothing. Besides, you do some unnecessary things, like using both Saturation and Warm/Cool plugin to cool the colors up, just use one thing, or you will end up with 5 plugins doing something that could be achieved with just one of them.

Personal preference, I have the abillity to use the plugins however I like as long as the video itself isn’t destroyed. This was just a basic thing. I am hoping people will start off this and then start experimenting to achieve something even better. If I actually started getting into colour grading and more the video would be super long and no one would watch it, that is why I only gave the very very basics for people to pick up.
