Just FYI, if at the beginning you remove the serial node that is there by default, select all clips and middle click the first one-it of course removes all of the default single serial nodes per clip. Then you can just drag the power grade into the node window before working on each clip and you don’t have to manually remove that pesky extra node. Nice video. 👍🏼
Thanks! I've later on also found that you can simply just right-click and choose "Apply Grade" that'll apply it without that annoying for node as well 🙌🏻
I think you can judge the shadow clipping a lot better if you click the three dots on the scope window and change the waveform to data levels - when it is on video levels it clips the lower end to around 94 IRE. I also have never seen anyone use the primary wheels to set exposure - especially the Gamma. Kind of unorthodox an approach. Exposure I find that using the HDR tools exposure slider is more photometric in response where it will retain your black and raise the light ( exposure ) very similar to an onset exposure of doubling the light per stop. interesting approach and choices on some of the steps. I would need to test some of the out of the box steps to verify if the steps work for me. But if it works for you, that's all that really matters. Thanks for the video.
I prefer the video levels to have a bit more room on top and bottom to see when it's clipping but that's all preference in the end. Interesting! All I've seen, especially here on youtube it's been with the primaries, only recently I've seen the HDR tools used and while they are definitely more powerful I often find them a bit too specific as to the area they adjust whereas the primaries gives me a broader application and I feel it blends it better when I'm adjusting the exposure. As you say, it's all down to getting the result you desire so both things can work! Hope you found time to play around with the primaries and see if it worked for you - I'd love to hear your thoughts!
For sure! Can you elaborate a little bit on what you'd like to see with keyframing? Is that mostly for adjusting masks you're thinking or more in general, using keyframes in DaVInci?
Hey Alex, whenever I use Curves ( Hue, Luminance and other) in colour grading, it's appears like( TURN OFF & ON light effect or Glitch) in video (which colour enhance). So please tell how can I solve the problem?
Running into an issue when I try and preview changes made to the parallel nodes. The changes I make to these nodes will not be reflected in the preview window (however they will be reflected in the node tree window). If I make a change to a serial node in the same tree it will be reflected in the preview window. Has anyone had this happen and is there a solution?
bundul of thanks bro for this love from Pakistan and bro please increase your microphone voice its a low I can not listen correctly anyway I respect your work
Cheers mate! Can't increase the volume - RU-vid compresses the volume after upload and attempts to balance it out. Sorry if you can't hear it, it works fine on my end though 😊
I have a headphone but the voice is slow 😘😘☺ i respect you sir because a you is a my teacher your video is most precious for me and please make a tutorial on a how works log wheel,Primery wheel,H.D.R Wheel in Davinci resolve and how we can color grade 8Bit Video and sonya6500 sonya6400 log videos in high dynamic range am waiting your reply and waiting your tutorials ❤❤❤
If you set your color management to rec.709 and Gamma 2.4 you're good to go. Make sure to shoot your footage with "HDR" disabled as that makes it more difficult to work with the footage
If you put everything into one node it’s way more difficult to see what does what and change things as you go along without having to try out different things (until you become very familiar with Davinci). But no, you don’t need to do anything 😊 However, my own node trees always has 17-20 nodes and I love working like this, so it’s down to personal preference. There’s no downside to doing more if you know what you’re doing 🙌🏻
In this case because those were the 12 adjustments that we were doing in this Intermediate workflow. It's not about the amount of nodes but the individual adjustments and making it easy to turn nodes on and off to preview what the individual adjustments does for the overall grade and whether they need further adjustment or not :-) Sorry this video wasn't for you. Remember we are all humans behind the screen and I'm simply trying to help people learn color grading. if this video wasn't for you, that's okay - have a great rest of your day 🙌🏻
