FREE TRAINING: Grade in DaVinci Resolve like a Pro bit.ly/2wdU3Kb

Firstly this tutorial for free? Then this software for free? Can we just appreciate the world we live in? As always Qazi you nailed it and really grateful for giving us access to this information.

These guys aren't affected by corona. They always have been in quarantine. He still is working, uploading video. Thats the thing of working in quarantine! Glad to see this video come out after my recommended flooded with virus news.

Do believe I have just been schooled!! Was following along and my footage went from garbage collection to...... "You have to be kidding me"! I bow my respect for taking the time to explain. Thank You!

Screw these guys complaining about your tutorials being too long, you are providing advanced color grading tutorials that can't be found elsewhere. If they want to learn "color correction" or just a rec709 look they can go elsewhere. Please keep doing what you are doing, this is gold! (Y)

I'm glad I am taking the time to go through the back catalogue of these grade breakdown. This is a winner regardless of the year.

Kudos Qazi: FMC changed my life/BTW. Thx. Your training is more effective than all the college video classes combined. Qazi + FMC + Resolve = solid training to produce great looking content. Kudos on your Passion, Persistence and great teaching abilities. U Rock. - UEF Editor

This was so technical and awesome bro! Thank you so much for all the things you are bringing to us.

AHHHHHHHHh so good! You are a fantastic colorist and a great teacher man! This even took my cheap canon sl2/200d footage to the next level . Absolutely blown away. I almost gave up and then I found your channel, keep up the Awesome work!

Awesome video. I'm a DP and everything you mentioned about industry standards and workflow, as well as what is best in-camera to make the color grade process easier for the colorist is a huge help,. appreciate it!

I am addicted to your tutorial

I really enjoy watching this tutorial... Thanks, Qazi...

My favorite tutorial, great strategies. Excellent comparison between commercial and film grades, even talking about the Rec709 status in a particular workflow was good to know about. Thank you.

I was anxiously waiting for you to drop this one. Thank you!

I learn many many new things every time I watch one of your videos... thank you!

Man your skills are insane, I’ve been watching and learning so much

Really great. I will have to go back and watch a lot more of your videos to be able to grab hold of the concepts better. It's a bit over my head at this point in time, but very helpful in knowing what it would look like if I get good at it.

All of this for free...you are awesome man !

I am loving your tutorials,you gain my subscription keep it up bro.

I really how you show the difference between film, commercial and natural look. Im looking at this video for second time.

Qazi! You are a beaaast! I would really love you if you try to make a video on the Gretel & Hansel movie. That grading is insane!

This is amazing Qazi! Without a doubt this is a content that helps me learn things that otherwise I could not, and for free... WOW! Regards from México!

Thank You So much for this tutorial. Simple and amazing technique and very grateful for all the information you are sharing with us.

you are awesome...... I started using Davinci Resolve 16 after watching this video

This is awesome! Great to be learning from such a master like you! Keep up the amazing work!! Keen on seeing what is coming up!!! Thanks for Showing world the beauty of color grading!! Will definitely try these tips out!!!

Master teach us! Your channel has been immensely helpful, thank you very much QAZMAN!

This is the perfect tutorial really helped me with the commercial look😁

Epic video mate! Haven't seen anyone else cover this before, so it was really interesting to learn about :D

Fantastic! So many great tips and approaches here. Glad to find your channel. Subbed!

A great new series! AWESOME, Qazi, thank you!!! :)

Man I’d love to be in your masterclass But I just can’t afford it Thankfully these vids Teach so much Every one I’m learning bit by bit This one I learned that removing blur Ads sharpness Bit by bit I’m getting gold from these vids Thank you Quazi

Cool describing of character, but there a thing that I'd like to mention: Instead of using lut over log, it would better to use Color Space Transform plugin, it does a better job, and we're not loosing information in that case, or just use ACES color space.

Another gem my dude. Keep rocking

Watched 8 minutes and already love it!!! Thank you

Another great Teaching video!!! looking forward to the new series...It was great to see how you create a look rather then matching (don't get me wrong the last series was fantastic and very valuable in my learning - this new series i believe will also be fantastic for learning...THANK YOU for all your efforts in producing these videos

Like button smashed! As always video is pretty detailed. Thanks.

Mans be posting at 1 am. You lucky that your content is actually useful

Awesome video, as always! Do you have a video where you grade RAW footage? Cinema DNG? What LUTs or color management you select when you don't know the camera that the footage was shot on?

Keep up the great work. Really valuable tutorials!

Man I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

You just keep adding production value with your tuts... this could easily be used to explain to our custumers why and what add costs to our productions. Even if you think you are good in explaining this, at least I have customers who still don't understand the visual end game.

happy monotization qazi

Man where have you been. You made subscribe in the first 3 min.

Curious if you would do a video on wide scenes in film with similar colors and tones and how best to separate and balance the skin and still effect the room. Say a person in a black suit in a wood paneled room, with tungsten practicals, or something like that. Thanks for all your invaluable info.

I'm novice. Like ur tutorial. How u can select first node and applied to it Lut form second node. I dont understand how it works. Thx for helping.

Thank you for a fantastic channel! Subscribing immediately! Question, should one track the movement for the film grain node, kinda makes sense...? Will it make a difference? Or is the grain so subtle?

Hi Qazi. I've been following you for a while and have noticed one thing that I never understand. Seeing as you did it here, I decided to ask: You punched in loads of contrast at the start. The soft light blend aded loads of extra. Why are you removing it in a new node, rather than just put less in the first one. Thanks for the great videos, I have learned a lot from you.

I really wanted this kind of warm grade. Thanks alot bro....

Thank you brotha for putting in the effort to help others. How did you put the 4 scopes in the bottom right corner?

First i have to say, absolutely awesome tutorial, so much to learn! There are two things that bothered me a bit: your extensive use of 'juice' haha and that you switch soo fast between on and off grade. At one point I had to reduce the speed all the way down to x0.25 :D

Amazing work, love it !

Very nice material. Good idea showing three different work paths as a colorist. In the movie look I think you forgot about the ball, which is a strong, colorful point that distracts attention from the character. BTW why do you always aim to set the same values in a denoiser? There is no logical justification. Idea for another tutorial - show work on a set of shots. This is what we manage to do in our work on a daily basis. Making any look on one shot is relatively easy, stairs start when you need to align many different ones, e.g. diffrent shot exposure. I would love to see how you work and deal with problems here. Regards, Colorist from Poland

Hello. I'm your subscriber. I'm enjoying the tutorial. But I have a question. Where do I get an example file for today's video or an example file for a 'Cinematic Look' lecture? Did you take this file yourself? Or do you buy and use raw and log files? And I want to follow your tutorials. but there are some parts of my film that are difficult to follow because of different conditions. In future tutorials, it would be nice to provide example files.

Pls attach ref shot to google service or something. I think it's a helpful. Thx a lot!

So much learn today. thank you brother, u made it super easy. awesome.

You are real hero dude !

Thanks so much I really enjoyed. I would love to see some beauty commercial /grade tricks next. pleeease :) xx

The best like always 👍

Amazing Qazi-man with amazimg episode))

that shirt is motivation!!!

Hi Qazi, i really respect your work and passion.. but i think commercials are all the same look, and like how hollywood films are same.. i think it can be change with a film look (it depends what kind of commercial is that) with unique look with its emotion.. imo if there will be revolution look for commercials, you can start that.. best regards👍🏼

Do a car commercial grade tutorial!!!! Doing a edit ATM could use some help

Thanks Qazi another brilliant video. Just one question. In the last clip is there artefact issue on the left calf? this is an issue i seem to get and struggle to resolve. Maybe i should mask the skin? Thanks

Would love to see how your grading would affect an affordable camera footage lol

Is it better and easier than Photoshop

thanks a lot Dude, i'm following you from Madagascar, African's Fan part ;)

ur a beast qazi

can you share your footage of the process making this video ? especially at 2:31s. I want to download it and practice more about editing color, thank you !

Thanks for sharing your process.

most of your tutorials are really resourceful.....some of them I knew early but , it kook me years to learn it . I asking many colourist , technicians and google searches, etc..... that look me long time ......thanks for that .....and please tell us👉 how to work with relighting a shot 🤏

Much awaited...

Thanks for sharing!

love it,Thank you so much sir.

Wow, cool. I didn’t get it, how and where your stored the different looks and how you put them at the end into that split screen (new to DR, that was to fast to follow)

Hello Qazi need to know how u made outside vignette node . I know it’s silly question. Waiting for your reply bro.

This was super helpful

Waqas, I'm a absolute noob on coloring, a noob on Resolve (Iam ex-Premiere) and a little less noobish on producing video, but I have my mind set on doing as much as possible myself for our small (shoe accessories) business. So, I do the all the design work myself with Photoshop, Illustrator, you name it. Make adds, package design, websites. It's to save money, but I also really like doing this stuff myself. I know I will make mistakes and cringe in a few years, but that's the price to pay ;-). This video helped me enormously to get up to speed with coloring. Especially the workflow with the nodes is a great framework. I'm looking forward to follow more of your vids. I have one small favor to ask. I assume the clip of the lady football player is rights protected and proprietary, but is it possible to share just a few seconds of the clip so I can follow your video and see if I can match your results (or better ;-) ).I guess even one frame will do.

That Hue vs. Luma trick to add depth to the colors is fucking unreal. How the hell does someone even come up with that??

Big thx! What if you use serial nodes instead of parallel?(commercial look)

awesome tutorial! many thanks. i have two questions: why is noise reduction better in first place ? :) and if you would use the arri rec709 lut in the more complex commercial node structure, where would you place it? after exposure node?

hi i really like your video,its soooo usefully, but i have no idea whats use for the node of look adjustment, its correct whats something?

May I ask you? Do you use "color space transform"? Thanks for the content

what is the intro music qazi ?

i love this

I've counted 14 nodes not 15 ..have I missed anything?

Very nice bhai... learnt a lot

Love your tutorials. Curious as to why you sometimes switch between layer and parallel nodes for your skin work on your film grades

Thanks so Much!! Very helpful !!!

This was extremely useful! Thank you so much for that! How would you compare color editing to Adobe Premiere Pro? Is that really that huge of a difference?

I like your all tutorial 👍

Plz...I want that Same Raw Video Of each and every video of yours u Edit....It will help me to Edit same as u and I will learn fast❤️

u are the best brooo

Enjoyed that. What about if next time you only use effects that are in the free version for example I use the matte technique to add grain. Also how about some 8 bit footage for us mere mortals. I shoot S-Log 2 on an A6300 just saying, 😂😂😂

Thanks, this is awesome
