You're welcome! I am working on an updated version of this video because my process has changed a lot and has become more efficient and easier to learn.
Hi Edou, I am at the beginning of the learning process of color grading, I try different youtuber's methods every week, and somehow I found you and just loved your workflow. Helped a lot! Thank you!
Very Use full video bro..... but I request u to please enable your click show in video for know what shortcut and clicks u done.................. thanks bro... its so good
this has been time well spent . Thank you for giving a clear , complete and concise video. One of the best I have seen. Ending was a bit crap lol but you can't have everything . Well done on this video mate.
I totally get you mate . Yes it was funny and that was clearly your intent . I am reflecting you sense of humour back at you! Keep making videos . By the way when I turn on fairlight there is like a feedback hum . Just there all the time . Can you help ?
🙌💚 Cheers! And I have no idea what that could be. 🤔 Couldn't find anything on Google nor have I ever heard anyone have this issue. Maybe the Resolve Forum knows. I sadly can't help you with it.
Yeah, forgot to expand on that. Basically it moves over the boundaries (not creating more data ofc) and allows for more accurate and fine control. Besides that DWG is a very pleasant color space/gamma to work in. In the end it's about preference, you could just work in SLOG3 and not do it if you prefer that. It will react differently and you'll have to figure out what feels right for you.
Hi Edou, this was by far the most helpful color grading tutorial for DaVinci :) My biggest problem with DaVinci is the switch from layer-based editing to node-based editing. Can you explain something e.g. like masked transitions or in general how to use fusion? That would be really helpful!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it a lot! I myself don't use fusion YET. I do plan on learning it, but for now for the rare moments I need anything really complicated I open up aftereffects. I'm on the same boat as you when it comes to Fusion 😅 still gotta learn.
@@edouhoekie I used to work in AE, from layers to a node based is just a vertical hierarchy, to multiple horizontal hierarchies switch. I like it more in node base because I can add easily to so much complexity without losing the overview
@alexpop6363 That's exactly the reason the color page is so powerful in DaVinci as well. Just have to learn where everything is in Fusion which I don't have much time for as of now.
Just change the first CST to your HLG3 settings and you're set! I have a video shot on the a7iii on my channel with those exact settings and color graded this way.
Hi ! thank you for this video, which helps the young French director that I am lol. Tell me, how do we make a circle appear in the scopes depending on the position of the selector in the preview? this feature looks incredibly useful!
Hey Léon! Thank you, good to hear! For the circle to appear you ned to select the qualifier (eyedropper) tool in the drop down menu on the bottom left of the previews window. Hope that helps.
You could yeah, I personally don't use many LUTs anymore since I create looks from scratch but a lot of the time that takes too much time. Hence the workflow in the video.
Thanks mate.Loved the tutorial..Just one Question - at 8:08 when you disconnected the new node and connected back the lut node...I was wondering how the node strucure works..the new node (top Cst node)seems to be left in the air without connection.Kind of confusing..May be because am new to node structure.Can you throw some light if possible.
@@edouhoekie haha! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to re-record stuff to make sure it has all the necessary info. I’m building my course right now and it has been a marathon!
Hi Edou, great job on this video. I there any other video where you grade a video with PicProfile style only (without slog)? Example: Sony PP set to Neutral (-1 -1 -1)?
Hey, thank you it's much appreciated! I never really used neutral since I always go in with the expectations of color grading. On my A7iii i shoot HLG and on my FX3 it's slog3. But I could make a video where I grade rec709 footage in the future.
never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you never gonna make you cry never gonna say goodbye never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
1/2 are needed to convert it into a bigger color space/gamma. Not increasing the information but moving the limit over to allow more flexibility. 3 is needed because the LUT needs Cineon Film Log.
In this video I used 10bit footage. But I am mostly used to 8bit footage since I just upgraded from the a7iii to the FX3 and 10bit is a new and welcome improvement!
Yes, to minimize artifacts and other bad things. The film LUTs in DaVinci are made for cineon film log. It's a bit weird DaVinci doesn't explain this. But if they'rw third party that can differ per LUT of course. I am planning to make a video about it separately as well.
Are you sure is it necessary to add a transfer node from Slog3 to Davinci Wide Gamut and then finally from DW Wide Gamut to Rec 709 Gamma 2.4 (or Cineon Film Log depends on the next look node)? I watched a video of one of the colorists from Blackmagic who said that Davinci handle better under the hood conversion from DW Wide Gamut to Rec709 without adding a conversion node to do it. I mean it is better adding exposure node, saturation node etc. like a first nodes and CST (from Slog3 to Rec.709) at the end without adding a DW Wide gamut conversion because you are working on Sony S-gamut 3 (Cine) color space which is quite close to Davinci WG.
You can get the exact same results from both methods. It's just the ease of grading that gets better in my experience. It feels more responsive and such. But it's not a necessity.
i don't want to bring rain on your parade, but you don't need to bring black point close to zero all the time. also, color managed work flow does the same thing, but much faster.
Thank you! Good idea, I will post a video about that in the near future. I have an idea how I could do that but keep the file size down. Stay tuned! 🤍☺️
I will as well man! This video was heavily requested by people on Instagram so I made it happen. I will make beginner tutorials as well. ☺️ Thank you for the suggestions.
Very helpful. Thanks for making this. Quick question as I am losing it right now. when I go into color tab, the video is not set by default to the frame I am on before going to the color tab. It is starting from a random place within my full timeline. It never used to do that. The only different thing I did was export using i/o in the Delivery tab. I cleared the in/out range yet it is still not going to the expected frame within the Colour Tab. Any tips what to do? Subb'd by the way, great content!
Thanks! No worries. Do you have a clip layered above the selected clip? It will always jump to the highest clip in the timeline so that might be the issue. If not let me know.
Gonna post a pro tip - like my comment if it helped.. Hold down ALT / Option on Mac and scroll with your wheel on the scopes... Watch the magic happen. ;)
