Mr. Qazi Do you do one to one mentoring? I don't believe your site mentions but I need that level of coaching. I realize time is money. But I think I benefit greatly with a personal coach. I've paid for so many different classes. I do have a "basic" understanding but I feel I'm not absorbing it the way I like to know Resolve. I understand it takes time and practice but I be having so many questions about identifying and being able to be better understand scopes, using bars, etc. that the principles get lost to me. Lol. Alot of what people say is there is no exact formula to get a good grade we just have to know the look that we want. I've reached out to 2 trainers so far hopefully one will have the ability to do virtual learning. I really want a coach.( Lol. I know I'm asking for too much)
Temple University Student here! I've watched the movie moonlight several times and CANNOT get over the color grading on the shot of little in the ocean if you could break that down it would be a game changer!
At first I just found these tutorials relaxing and just generally enjoyable as a way to advance my understanding of how colour works But a few things have come together and I’m ready to jump over to DaVinci resolve properly. Can’t wait.
I'm sooooo excited ! Just received my Davinci Resolve Mini Panel yesterday! My workstation is ready to begin to be built. I have contractors coming out this week to build out my studio. Wish me luck guys. I finally have everything. Mr. Qazi you really are a wealth of information and inspiration. Really wish you could mentor me through this Journey. I know you have a master class I could enroll into but I wish I had a more personal education. But that's asking too much.
Quick Question: In some tutorials you apply Colour Space Transform on the very first node, then in some videos you apply in the middle node and in this video you've applied it on the last node so in which exact node are we supposed to apply it?
There is no exact way or absolute right way to do this. He graded this time in LOG space. Sometimes, he grades in Rec709 space. It depends what you do.
From what I know, when you apply CST to convert to a smaller color space, you lose range to make major changes to the image. I always use color management but I guess if you use the CST you have to use it in a node where you know that the wide range will no longer be needed for the adjustments you will make from that node on. I guess Qazi as a pro colorist knows when he can use directly the CST as first node cause he doesn't need the range, or when he can put it as the last node to preserve the max range till the end. Just guessing, please ppl feel free to correct me 😊
Great stuff as always! Thank you so much for sharing, you are the #1 on RU-vid, that's for sure! I would have one Idea maybe for a future video...I'm preparing a short film right now and the final result should be black and white. I'm sure even without color you would have some aces up your sleeve ;) Thank you and keep up this great work!
Respect your work man, but after you put the log node on and the sky went green I was waiting for you to pull that back. I guess I'm still waiting! But then that's why every grade is different and no grade is right or wrong
Why don't use da vinci resolve color managed to convert your color space? I don't understand when to use color space transform and when color managed. Thank you
it would be rly cool if u did a tutorial on color grading 8bit footage , i shoot on a sony a7ii and its hard to find color grade tutorials for 8bit color
In the meantime, you can do a search on RU-vid for color grading 8-bit footage. There are a few tutorials out there that you could use on your M50 footage.
now i know color separation is making details in the background..too bad about the bug, i was aiming for the web tool, its like colorista wheel that i used to use back in the day
You can find the option on the Scopes settings (click the 3 dots) and turn on the Display Qualifier Focus. Pick the Qualifier tool and hover over the video!
Hi Qasi, I love all your videos. I am getting ready to upgrade from v16 free version to v17 free version. I am on a mac computer. I am confused about whether to uninstall v16 before I upgrade to v17 OR whether to install v17 over v16 without uninstalling v17 first. It seems there are many different opinions out there on which way is best. I just do not want to run into unforeseen problems. What do you do? Do you think there is any difference or one way is better than the other way? Thanks for any help with this.
@@theqazman do you uninstall first if you are going from 17.1.1 to 17.2.1 or just between major versions like v16 to v17? Do you need to move any folders after uninstalling and installing the new version or is all that done automatically?
I think you lost a lot of details in the shadows, as if it was shot in rec709 initially. the surf board has gone totally black, nice techniques though.
