This is a super helpful color-grading video, Dylan. I appreciate you for making this. You've done an excellent job explaining different node trees and your process of how to color to make your images look super clean and friendly to see. Love it!
Obsessed with you. Have a Sony a7iv and canon RP. Been a bit scared to film. Got it on the iPad now and feeling ready. This video was exactly what I needed.
Rec709-A trick is great but.. I am using a Mac Mini. So my sytem is IOS however my monitor is not Apple display. It's a rec709 monitor with gamma 2.2. What should I choose in project settings for timeline and output ? Any ideas? I guess timeline should be rec709 gamma 2.2 and output to rec709-A. So I guess what i see on mymonitor will match when I upload to YıuTube. Correct or am I doing something wrong here?
Would love a video showing how to get the best SOOC like pp off and in camera adjustments or a-cinetone and in camera adjustments vs phantom LUTs. Daytime. Low light. Etc.
Great grading man…..this video is so helpful n inspiring❤❤❤❤…….which camera model phantom lit u suggest to use if I shoot whit an a6700? (Same sensor as fx30)….thank u
Thank you for this amazing tutorial Dylan! Much appreciated 🙏🏽 I have 2 questions. 1. Will it react differently if you place the Phantom LUT node to the end of the node tree? Any reason why it's on the 3rd node? 2. If I wanna add halation or sharpening nodes, where would it be the best? Thank you in advance!
the phantom lut also does the s-log to rec.709 conversion, so by applying changes on the nodes before, you are basically working on the flat s-log image, not the “final“ exposure/colors I would add halation/sharpening/glow on the very last node
very good workflow, but 99% of people only show a workflow with LUTs. It's very rare for someone to explain how to achieve a cinematic look just by adjusting the settings and i think create a look from zero is the real color grade.
Hi Dylan, until recently I used the same Rec709-A work around to fix the output of the video but I don't think this is the proper way to go about structuring your workflow. I've found my output is consistent when I follow the node structure from this video and I think this is a more professional use of the Davinci workflow. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jBq8refj7cc.htmlsi=16UBDcXGc1IxQnkF
I understand colors are subjective and grading is highly subjective. I find you are crushing a lot of detail into the blacks. If you see the scopes you can see the reds going significantly below 0 in to the blacks. too crushed imo.
I recommend going for the arri pack first as those are what I constantly use over the film ones. It's a good base to see what you can create with your footage!
@@DylanBatista thank you for replying! hey so i followed your node tree. Is there a way to add halation the “free way” after the last node glow? i currently only have free version of davinci sadly. so im just trying to add halation a bit to my clip.
@@gettriggered8404 not sure if it's available in the free version but if you see halation under the glow effect in the effects tab that's what you can use but if it doesn't allow it then I don't think there's another way I know of, sorry!
