Colour correction competition?

Well, I've been having a lot of cloudy days at my local mountain(pretty much always) and so gopro videos haven't been taking too well, and I'm not managing to colour correct them very well, so I'm wondering if it's just my poor correction or the videos are too poor to start with? here's an example of a video I took on a cloudy day(uncolourcorrected), I'm using magic bullet looks when I do colour correct but it just doesn't look anything like other peoples videos.

So if you could please try and colour correct the video just so I can see what potential the videos have, or if you have any colour correction tips that'd be great.

here's the download link.

one thing that I noticed is that you have snow/water on the lens. I will try to see what I can do, but I would say that the water/snow is the biggest issue. Also just checking, but you uploaded the original, right?

threads for when i get home. but I know that if you are just using pre sets you still gotta get the video's colors up to par first, hence the "color correction" then you can apply final touches and stuff to it after to give it the look you want, "color grading." ill give it a shot tho as well

ya your probably not gonna be able to do much to that shot.  The lighting on days like that just suck to film in and you have no control over exposure with a gopro

little late, but here we go



first time using premiere, adjusted the rgb curves a little, mostly boosting the mids, bumped the saturation, and then used the simple color corrector to check black and white levels and add a subtle touch of blue. i think you can prbly figure out which one i did and which one is the original
