Would love to see how you’d tackle an iPhone clip filmed in HDR. Where I work we tend to get a lot of iPhone footage sent in to us from people and nowadays they almost always shot it with HDR left on because they don’t know any better.
Have to transform it from hdr to sdr. The best way I found to keep 10bit is to convert it in Final Cut then bring into resolve. Or second Option is right click on the clip and encode selected clip. It will covert hdr to sdr .
The best way to convert HDR to SDR in resolve is to use a cst and set input colorspace to rec2020 and the gamut to rec2100.hlg, this is the one thing I wish he had addressed in the video
1:08 I wish Apple would give you that option (for LOG...) wish came true!.. now we need another updated video for Color Grading - iPhone 15 Pro Max - BlackMagic Camera App - Apple Log
Does this show how do grade iPhone HDR footage and how to make sure Davinci resolve displays it the same when you export. That one’s been tricky for me. Every one has a different way of doing it and I can’t seem to make it look exactly the same
it's basically the same but in the cst where you convert to davinci wide gamut, instead of rec709 and gamma 2.4, you would select rec2020 and rec2100.hlg, but everything else would be the same
I don’t think the source it’s REC709! iPhone footage if you don’t film with third party app it’s actually REC2020 Gamma HLG 2021. REC2020 HLG2021 Davinci WideGamut Davinci WideGamut ⬇️ Davinci WideGamut Davinci WideGamut REC709 Gamma 2.4
I worked on network tv spot back in 2016 that was entirely shot on Iphone. It was hilarious coming to set and seeing the big cine lenses in a rig infront of the phone. All i can say is that way of using it was not terribly successful. Worked on set for nearly 20 years - trying to learn this so i no longer having to be in the rain for 12-15 hours haha.
I have a technical question that doesnt only apply here but you mentioned halation. It’s probably 1000x easier to just slap on the halation effects, but they are not free without studio. And correct me if I’m wrong but adding an effect is essentially getting simpler knobs that help you change the main curves/graphs/scopes to get the desired look. So isn’t it theoretically possible to manually change the curves yourself, getting rid of the middleman, and achieve halation? There has gotta be a way.
There is! I used to do that effect way before DaVinci added it and even before it was popular. There's a few ways to do it and if you look it up I'm sure you can find tutorials on it, but basically you can add a glow effect that only effects the highlights and put the color as orange/red and set it to screen or add. Another way is using a layer node set to add or screen and doing it all manually with curves and blur. If you need I can add a link to a video, or maybe I should make a video myself 😂
@@fujicinema I'm pretty new to davinci and I like to get good at the simplest things before moving on...and just to put in perspective, I haven't gotten to use any other type of node than the basic one hahah. But I appreciate the answer. I can sub if you promise to add the video ;) Your channel looks like it would be fun to go through. Good luck with it!
Great tutorial as always. Just dropping a note that there might be an issue with the link to the LUT Pack & Powergrades in your Color Grading class. I did the class yesterday and no link to the LUT Pack & Powergrades showed up. Maybe it's just me, but wanted to give you a heads up.
Hi Qazi, thx for the videos, any chance you do some color grading for cg ? I feel that it's an empty area of youtube training there. The files that we get from rendering are way different to cinema cameras, so it would be great to know how to use them correctly to color grade them.
Great video @WaqasQazi . One doubt while using IDT & ODT or CST what should be our Project color management settings it should be DaVinci YRGB with DaVinci Wide Gamut/Intermediate or DaVinci YRGB color managed with DaVinci Wide Gamut Intermediate. I am really confused on this one thing from days. Please help me this .... and thankyou so much for awesome content
Could you also make a video on if the video was shot with Filmic Pro's log? Most people who do shooting on an iphone that actually want to color grade will shoot with Log in filmic pro and i'd love to see that process play out. Also, I had a "wait what?" moment when you just casually mentioned Filmbox was $1000. Here I was thinking it was a built in effect in Davinci lol
I've tried the DaVinci Rec to Wide Gamut to and back to Rec workflow before and I didn't really notice anything added, what kind of expansion does it allow?
I think it just effects how you can edit the colors. Like a painter with a paint brush, you have more colors to work with, but once it's rec 709 those colors get compressed to that color space. Think of it similar to taking a photo of a painting that uses 10 colors vs taking a photo of a painting using 1000 colors. Both paintings look the similar due to compression, but the larger amount of colors you can effect can help create more subtle nuances when editing. I hope that makes sense😂
I think the main thing that would change would be your color space transform settings. Doesn't GoPro use CineForm? There might (don't know) be a setting for that in the CST, so you would convert from CineForm -> Davinci Wide Gamut at the beginning of your node tree. But again... I'm making an assumption on how GoPro is recording.
@@1128-s1x Oh, strange. I thought GoPro supported CineForm, heck, I thought they were the creators. I did a little poking around and I would try setting your input color space to Rec.709 (if you're recording H.264) or Rec.2020 (if you're recording HEVC/H.265). See if that works. I'm no expert with this -- I never thought about using CST on iPhone footage before seeing this video! Hopefully this helps you get where you need to be.
@@camerastooge Btw, I'm not sure with that cineform thing., but it is still nice to know what should I do either way. Thanks man! Gonna try it on my footage rn and explore what's better.
anyone else really struggle with the pace of this video? I'm normally tech competent but Davinci runs rings around me. Super overwhelming. 2:10 in this video and I already don't know where to find Color Space Transform, or half of these functions. Also my Davinci screen just does not look like this. Lost, but going to get on with it best I can - definitely still further than I would have been without a video but, man, if these videos don't remind me every year why I gave up on learning video editing and grading the year before.
e.g. "on the tail end..." I figure he means 'add node' here? Totally in the dark here. I get that he can't be doing a video for every little thing but it seems impossible to find videos that actually cover every step at this stuff, and it feels like that shouldn't be too much to ask. Anyway, lovely video otherwise, sorry and don't mean to complain - at the same time, I think when you're competent its just so easy to miss the stuff you're forgetting to explain.
i have a question thats not really related to this video but does baselight have any advantages over resolve that can make or break the colour grading of a shot? I've managed to to get raw shots from mad max fury road but there are a couple of areas that I cant quite match like the megenta tint in haze with out messing up all the foreground or in background of some areas with out masking and tracking a lot.
Hello, Qazi I watched the whole training video but was not redirected to a page to get the LUT for the iPhone footage. Anyway you could help me out on figuring what went wrong?
Says that the fixes he presents "does not require any prior color grading experience." Literally the 1st step of the 1st fix requires color grading experience.
Hello, I just watched the free class directly on the website for 1 hour. However, I didn't have access to the free personalized workout. Where can I find it?

Watched the 1hr and 10 minute free webinar all the way to the end and it did not include the freebies as promised. Hopefully this comment might save other people from watching an hour and leaving empty handed from those items promised. Yes he gives tips but this was disappointing not to get the freebies promised.
