This video showcases the best FCPX color correction I’ve ever seen. I love the flow of the explanations about what is going on in LOG and Rec.709, all the way through the tutorial of the working steps. Thank you!
Wow. I’ve seen lots of videos about this. Either too technical or trying to sell LUTS. This is by far the most useful I’ve found so far. Thank you! You have a new sub 😊
Rafael, This is the absolute best color correction for FCPX video I have ever seen! This was a God Send. Finally got my EOS R and wanted to take full advantage of the C-LOG, THANK YOU!
for almost 16 months I had difficulties to learn how to do what u did in this video .. the RU-vidrs this days really only showing off in their channels .. you just straight to the point .. thanx a lot bro .. really nice personality and teaching skills .. thumbs up 👍👍
Dude, amazing! You made it look so simple. I’ve been fiddling around for quite some time. I wonder why your video didn’t show up in my searches before. Too much not-so-good content on RU-vid. Thank you.
OHHHHHH. YAAAAAAAAAAA, I learned more in that 17 mins than I ever have in the last 3 years. Thanks a mill Rafael, your a legend. Keep up the awesome work
This is an example of why the quality of content and the actual number of views can be inversely proportional. Very helpful! Going to go try this workflow right now. Keep up the great work.
I'm shocked 10 people disliked your video, this video is beautiful, well edited, useful, clear, to the point, and taught me things I didn't know was possible. Thanks a million times. Thanks for also providing us with the actual practical information you said you would and not having a click bait video. I'm definitely watching this video again and some of your others.
Wow, thank you for watching and the compliment! I am editing my follow up to this video for advanced colorgrading in FCP (Without plugins and with colorfinale). It should be out tomorrow.
Man!! This is the best video about this subject Ive seen!!! For 3 years I have been learning FCX and this just changed my game. You deserve the Million Subs. Thanks
Wow! Thank you for the compliment! Glad you found value in the video, that means a lot! I plan on earning those subs! Thank you for the comment, you made my day!
@@RafaelLudwig you will get more subs I'm due time. Perhaps slow down your pace a but for beginners? Just my w cents. I will apply your tips in my next video and share here. Hope that's OK
@@MR-AK Yeah for sure, I know I edit the tutorials a bit aggressively. Definitely will try to pace the edit more in future videos! Thanks for the feedback!
@@RafaelLudwig i have a Wealth building channel and I'm starting to take my videos to new level. I also get feedback that I move too quick on real estate videos. You see doing great.
Thanks Diarmuid! Glad I split this up into 3 video FCPX, Premiere, and Resolve - otherwise it would have been a beast of a video at an hour long! Thanks for the comment!😀
best color correction tutorial for beginners. this is my first time seeing the cropping workflow to isolate the color. I'll try this in my next video project
This was the most approachable explanation of color correcting I’ve seen. Thank you for making this. I just tried it and my footage looks great already. You’re awesome
There is no better way to convey knowledge ! showing the same topic on different examples is ingenious, increasing the pace from image to image so that the workflow is memorized.
Thanks Gerald! Make sure you check out Part 2 of this video "Advanced Color Grading" It builds on the steps in this one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VDYmwNiHO_k.html Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thank you so much Rafael, I've been creating videos on youtube for 3.5 years and now only starting to explore better quality footage. I use FCPX so this is extremely useful. Thanks a lot, dude!!! Subbed and gonna check out more. Stay saucy!
Man… I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I’m installing C Log 3 on my 6D Mark II to bring the quality of my content to another level and was really looking for a simple yet comprehensive tutorial on Clog editing and color grading. Thank you thank you thank you!
Sorry have to comment a second time . Just now try some of those tipps, and it is unbelievable what a difference does it give when I do this steps before adding a Lut/Filmconvert. So much more details and it just looks more natural. Thanks man really
Second comment, lol... Well, I took the project I'm working on, which was a disaster as I have many things near skin tones in the background, and followed your video step by step and WOW 😳, I'm quitting the way I used to color grade and correct before FOREVER!!! Big thank you
Thanks! Using C300 MKII and Apple’s in built CLog3 Cinema Gamut REC709 is a dead match for the REC709 Proxi files which you can shoot at the same time with C300 MKII. Found in Resolve it was a nightmare to even get the footage to look accurate, as a starting point. Generally shoot how I want it to look so quick accurate conversion is lifesaver. Your way seems a lot easier than most I have seem! I miss FCP Studio from 2009. 😂
Rafael, I recently started a weekly coking channel and it was great to find your video, only 4 episodes in. I am shooting Log on my new EOS R and you helped me a ton on an issue that is very subjective and difficult to explain, for the most part. Great job! Thanks!
Thank you Gus! Make sure you also check out the video how to expose C-Log footage on the EOS R ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pM_q66KVNaU.html - these two videos go hand in hand! Also, I shouldn't have checked out your channel while hungry!!!! 😁 I can smell the food, it looks so tasty! Beautiful kitchen! Thanks for the comment Gus!
After making these three videos doing the same thing in Resolve, FCPX and Premiere- comparatively PR felt well behind in basic functionality, just felt clunky and dated. If you don't need much collaborative workflow or AE dynamic link, Resolve is really really good. FCPX is the best for quickest in and output for personal work.
Rafael Ludwig ya, i wasn’t so invested in Adobe, I’d think about transitioning. I’t will be interesting to see what happens with Final Cut Pro with the iPad Pro for quick easy turnarounds. The ipad is incredibly zippy even with. 4K files, more so than even my high powered iMac. I think there’s potential to integrate FCP into that workflow so i could start a project remotely on the ipad and then finish it on my iMac.
brilliant video! thanks so much. Perhaps in the future you could make a color grading video for the most challenging light situations. I'm thinking very dark (night) or very bright scenes. I've been shooting wildlife either very early morning or late at night and found the whole c-log exposure a challenge in the first place. Again thanks for the work you've put in this video.
Hi! I've just started using Final Cut and your vids have really helped me set it all up so a big thank you for that. I like using the colour wheels for changing and enhancing my flat footage. Though I'm not sure how to add to all the film clips. So far doing each one which seems long winded! I'll get there. 🙂
You could use an adjustment layer, or create a compound clip and add the color correction to that one layer. You can get an adjustment layer in the description of this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6oetjz1adh8.html
You can't imagine how much your video helped me. And also I can't understand how is that possible your video didn't hit 500k views already. Great job and examples. I will definitely use your tips. Thank you.
I am new to editing and was a little confused with color correction/grading. This video clarified many areas and gave me some great understanding to press forward. Thanks for the great video!
You're so welcome! I felt the same way with the recommended Technical LUTs - all just made the footage look terrible! Thanks for watching and the compliment James!
Thank you! It was very usefull and really helped me in editing my videos. I used to work with the greenscreen but now I moved to the studio, so i had to adjust all the settings. I watched a lot of tutorials, but somehow your video had the best "what where why" ansvers to my questions. Great job!
Ok, this was perfect timing. And thank you for that awesome and understandable definition of Rec 709 in the beginning and why we use LOG. I use FCPX and I shoot in Canon Clog2, and found this very helpful. As I continued to watch, I was got excited because Imlearning something new, and I looking forward to trying everything you are teaching.
Thanks for this one! just started in making videos and I switched from Pinnacle Studio to FCPX one month ago, I edited one music video with pinnacle and the color work was horrible XD. Now with Final Cut it looks pretty simple and effective.
@7:16 WOW! Super simple (shockingly so), crystal clear (like my future footage), and freakishly fast! Super stoked I kept watching - I just clicked on this to comment about the clever title of this playlist and planned to come back later to watch! #SynchronicityStumble PS As a photographer for almost 40yrs (who avoided digital post production, until I could no longer just covet the cool shit I was seeing + not use it) I love that your focus, based on your merch/ logo "Fix It In Camera", is not on Needing post production but using it effectively, efficiently, and when needed! PPS I am also guessing you are a proud Capricorn? I'm raising a very strong-willed 9yr old Capricorn. It might drive me batty if she weren't an artist like her Gemini mama!😂
I shied away from color grading for a long time as well. Understanding the core concepts really helped for me. As a post and vfx supervisor, the running joke when someone on set would say we'll "fix it in post" was for me to say "no, fix it in camera" when it was something that would literally take 10 mins on set, and potentially days in post to fix. Yes a capricorn through and through! Thanks for watching and the comment!
Thank you so much for this. It's crazy how well you explained it. I've tried to learn about this before and just had a hard time following along. But you made it so simple that I was finally able to learn how to properly do this. Thank you!
Clearest, information-richest guide I've seen yet to normalizing log footage. It's the Baby Bear version: not simple to the point of crudeness, and not complex to the point of wha? The use of scopes in particular suggests to me this is simplest approach a pro would take. Much appreciated, liked and subbed.
Damn, clear and concise and no need for the extras. An excellent place to start. Thanks. I have not been shooting log but I will use the techniques for what I have and I'll start shooting in log.
Excellent tutorial, Rafael. Very helpful. Have you created a video on the correct settings for C-log and S-log prior to starting colour correction. The Final Cut Pro manual isn't at all clear. Apple tech support recommended setting the Library to Wide Gamut, the Project to Rec 2020, the Clip to the camera lut, the colour space override to Rec 2020 and toggle "Show HDR as tone mapped" on in the view drop down menu. Any pointers on settings would be much appreciated.
Great job, but I have to admit, it's hard to beat the look of the camera straight out. Those engineers know what they are doing.🙂 I may make a few slight tweaks on it, but I'm generally happy with the Sony look straight out of the Fx9 and 6.
Very interesting, man! I’ve never done it like this, so I gotta try. However, I wanna get that look you obtained in the other video I watched. Here to stay man! thanks a lot 🙏
I just pushed the orange and teal a bit further in that other video, but it's the same process with more Saturation of the colours. I tweak video to video but it's mostly the same. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Nicely done. You gave me one piece to the puzzle I was looking for. I'll use this as a reference for the future. I should get one of those xrite video colour charts, but so often I am outside and just shooting and learn to balance off what's in the background. I also try to get my son wearing stuff I can balance against ;)
I used to wear grey something as a safety to colour balance as well! Using the skin as a starting point to balance a shot was the only thing that was consistent from scene to scene. Thanks for the compliment and the comment Simon!
Ok, excellent information. As a stills photographer I was used to programs that would create a profile from the color card. This is very helpful. Getting the number right on the histograms is important, but it is critical to have a calibrated monitor for those subtle changes you mentioned. Thanks for the info.
Hey thanks for making this video I really learned a lot I’ve been struggling so much with log footage and I recently discussed with Sony the loss of detail and sharpness shooting in a log 3 and they told me it shouldn’t be any loss in sharpness of detail so thank you for confirming I’m not crazy
@@RafaelLudwig well you could’ve fooled me Ludwig. Speaking of Ludwig, Beethoven wrote his fifth while he was practically deaf and he was a musician… So I’d say you’re a colorist!
That’s great to hear! When you are ready, Make sure you check out the part 2 to this video, advanced color grading, it builds on this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VDYmwNiHO_k.html Thanks for watching and the comment Chris!
