In this video I explain how you can fix the white balance of your shot in Davinci Resolve
There's nothing worse that opening up your footage and finding that the white balance is completely off. You then start fiddling around with the color wheels and hope you can fix it. In this. video I show you how to use one of the tools in Resolve to do it for you.

IMPORTANT - Make sure to set your Chromatic Adaptation to the correct timeline you are working in.

@owenhenley Год назад

This was incredible. Straight to the point, short and sweet. I'm gonna go experiment with this on an old project I messed up. Thank you!

@SignatureCinematics Год назад

Your videos truly provide the most value - thank you man!

@GeorgiParmakov 2 месяца назад

Phenomenal. Thank you!

Thanks for this. A new technique I've never seen before, but clearly works quite well.

@coffeebeanstudio Год назад

Nice one mate. I didn't know about Chromatic Adaptation, and it's something I'll surely start using going forward. Thanks for showing it to us! :)

@NoBrain161 Год назад

So valuable thanks!

@kristoff_xxiii Год назад

🤯 your tutorials are one of the best.

@runhaar1 Год назад

Appreciate it!

@tomaskonvicka4135 Год назад

I didn't know this tool, thanks for showing it to me:)

@digwillhachi Год назад

nice, never used that method before but will do in the future.

Very good ta mate

@ramanandh1261 5 месяцев назад

Sir, could u do an episode on adding an effect before and after certain main nodes like here cst?

@CaptionDrip Год назад

Hello sir. Please make a video about the vectorscope and how to use it please. Thank you

@uncleanAlibertine1 Год назад

wowowowowowow are you a magician? :D nice one man!

@rodprod8522 Год назад

Great stuff! do you have a solution for mixed lighting? (also could share the footage to experiment?)

@runhaar1 Год назад

Mixed lighting is tricky for sure. You'll need to decide which light source you will be setting your WB to.

@szabolaszlo Год назад

Awesome! I really like this channel. I work with CDNG raw files. In that case, is it better to change it on the RAW tab?

@runhaar1 Год назад

Yes it would be better :)

@he.smile_ Год назад

Heads up, the Chromatic Adaptation color space was set to ''Use Timeline'' aka DavinciWG/Intermediate in your case, but you put it before your CST (where you were still in Slog3)

@HilleCine Год назад

So should it have still been put before the CST and every nod but set to Slog3?

@he.smile_ Год назад

@@HilleCine yes that, or just put it after the CST (I’m not sure there’s any advantage of putting it before)

@runhaar1 Год назад

I put it before my CST. It will give you the best results.

@runhaar1 Год назад

Well spotted! You definitely need to set your timeline correctly.

@Vatziubeuca Год назад

nice

@JericTamayo 4 месяца назад

What do you put into cst when it's not in log? Like s cinetone

@runhaar1 4 месяца назад

Sounds like its rec709

@jimkoral3824 Год назад

Cool tip! Wasn't aware of that Chromatic Adaption feature. Question: Why do you apply this BEFORE the CST Transform and not after?

@runhaar1 Год назад

I was to apply it to what came out of camera, rather than after CST transforms it, to be safe.

@obireddyobulareddy5972 Год назад

How to arrange u r camera raw settings .

@BrotherJLG Год назад

Can you show how to do a bleach bypass using your node tree workflow?

@allenpayne9182 Год назад

Good video. Your screen recording software seems a bit "wonky". Even in 4k the fonts of the GUI looks "damashed". Maybe check your screen recording software. Anyway. Good video. Keep it up.

@chuamidiass Месяц назад

how do i create a node before the cst?

@chuamidiass Месяц назад

add serial before !!

@MatteoCurcio Год назад

good tips I didn't know. But putting a texture node on a parallel node is a bad idea - as any sharpening/blur transformation on a parallel node.

@runhaar1 Год назад

Very true. Spatial nodes are better on serial nodes.

@theBullringLive Месяц назад

Don't they have a simple tool like photoshop raw where you just click on what is supposed to be white?

@TransformXRED Год назад

I didn't know about this tool. I'll try it. I often have to correct white balance on old compressed 8bit videos that wwre filmed with auto white balance in the worst scenarios possible 😅. It's extremely difficult because of the heavy green color cast, and constant change of the white balance. Is there something in your "toolbox" of knowledge about how to "re-grade" old badly recorded videos?

@runhaar1 Год назад

Thats a tough one. I cant think of anything thats a "done for you" solution. It sounds like you will manually have to use the shadows, midtones and highlights to fix it

@OneMoreFrame Год назад

I just want to say that chromatic adaptation is excellent tool, especially if you use Calvin’s. But the biggest mistake is to make “white balance” in footage that you have a person(face). In this case the only balance you can make is on human face, actor or character. You can balance her face with that tool, with primaries, with offset and etc. If we balances her face correctly the footage will also be completely different than that orange.

@runhaar1 Год назад

I think you have a misconception what "fixing" white balance is. If you use this tool and match it to your shooting conditions, your skin will be in the right spot. Example - If there's a mix of daylight and tungsten lights in the shot. It doesnt mean, making your whites white. Your scene should feel warm.

@user-2fkheS6COV1UKE6 Год назад

Why just not to use Temp and move it to the left to blue?

@matrixate Год назад

I tried this but when your white balance is drastically off, the Temp doesn't balance rgb effectively. Temp is good when you're off by a couple hundred Kelvin, not a couple thousand.

@runhaar1 Год назад

You can use Temp and tint to fix your footage or the offset wheel if you'd like. Chromatic adaptation will just get more exact results

@mr.bond2023 Год назад

You life saving mfr you! Lol excellent video definitely adding this technique to my arsenal

@runhaar1 Год назад

I like to start my secondaries from a solid point in the node tree. Instead of secondary node from the previous adjustment

@mr.bond2023 Год назад

@@runhaar1 I used this technique on a video I was having WB issues with and it cleaned up my image way better than I did using the offset.

@cleverghostchili Год назад

First

@_trismegistus Год назад

This seems like a really inefficient way to white balance. Why not at least being up the parade to reference?

@chicobraz4335 Год назад

Remember he has a “panel” he knows what his talking about

@_trismegistus Год назад

@@chicobraz4335 It seems like it could potentially work well if you know the exact source settings, but just using it to guesstimate seems kinda wack.

@matrixate Год назад

The parade can be helpful, but not as good as looking at the image overall. The parade is more effective if you isolate what is supposed to be white, then align the rgb levels equally, but this method gets you in the right ballpark faster...rather, it can.

@runhaar1 Год назад

I you feel you can get a better result with your offset wheel or with temp and tint. Go for it. Your vectorscope is going to be your best asset

@2424rocket Год назад

Yikes, you made this so overly difficult. All you have to do is take the white eyedropper and click on something that you think should be white. It’s that simple. And to be real honest, the yellow looked better than what you ended up with. You made it to plain looking.

@runhaar1 Год назад

Cool dude 👍 If you feel that the inconstant eye dropper works for you. Go for it.

@john2510 5 месяцев назад

I came here to post the same thing. I saved the "before" footage as a still, tested it, and the eyedropper result (using a white stripe on her shirt) seemed as good as his method of randomly testing the F selections. I'm puzzled that no one talks about the eyedropper method in any of the WB quick fix videos. It should at least be mentioned as an option. If nothing else, it's a great starting point.
