Hey everyone, thanks for watching! I'm currently working on a DaVinci Resolve online course that helps creators minimize their time editing and maximize profits. To be notified when it goes live follow this link: ---> eepurl.com/hYR9eP
As someone who is fairly new to videography and post production. I am constantly studying to turn a passion into a career and in always searching for these exact kind of tutorials. Simple but detailed on how and why its being done the way its being done as well as short enough so that I don't mind watching all the way through in the future when I need to reference it. Thanks for this one. Defiantly going in my "DaVinci Resolve" save folder.
Mind. Blown. Dude, that's outstanding! I love the tip about dropping the red channel. So simple, but so powerful. Great job, and you earned a subscribe!
Just learning Davinci Resolve so tips like this give me a huge jumpstart to getting a video edited. Thank you. I have added my name to your new course list.
I love tips like this. So obvious once you know but unless you go around the software experimenting with clicking stuff (I tend not to) you would never find it. Thanks.
Editable splines really saves me time in editing and the color warper is much easier than it looks. I mean, t's a f@*$&#^ spider web. Who's got time to get hung up in a spider web? That is what I used to think. Thank you for these tips Donovan. These are big time savers and relieve quite a bit of the complexity that is color grading.
I like that you try to do it simple. Super tired of advanced slog color grading videos in resolve, where they make 5 nodes to get a decent look. For most of us, it is simply not necessary. I wouldn't be able to make a living with videography, if I had to do that much work to just get a decent look. I would even argue that sometimes slog, is also overkill for the general videoproduction.
Hi Donovan, That's a great tip on a simple way to color grade. Since there's no such thing as a dumb question, there's something I'm confused on regarding color grading in DaVinci. Perhaps you other readers can share your thoughts too. I've got Rec 709 HD video for an upcoming home movie project that may need some color grading. I'm going to use proxies to facilitate editing. My questions are: Can I color grade using the proxies? Will the color grade settings (from the proxies) be applied to the original clips at render time? I assume there won't be significant loss of color fidelity between proxies and the original clips that finally get rendered. Thank you in advance for your help and thanks for sharing!
Thank you! As far as I know, proxies are just different codecs and lower resolutions resulting in a lower bitrate and more easily decided clip. However I'm pretty sure color data is basically the same. My recommendation is to try it out and see what happens! That's what I do!
I made the video about automatically converting video color spaces! You can find it on my channel 😁 if you have other questions, let me know! I may make it into a video too.
Just my own settings that I created earlier. If you grade a clip you can right click on it and select "Grab Still" this will creat a "LUT" of sorts that you can apply to other clips.
Thanks sir. Is middle mouse clicking to copy the grade the same or does that also apply the video settings like you were talking about. it looks as tho it just copies the grade but I don't know either way. Just know the middle mouse button trick and that works great. .
@@donovankean ya you highlight the other non graded like you did then just middle mouse click on the graded clip. But again I've never heard whether that does what you were talking about 😕 😀
Hey that's a lot of color grading squashed to easy grade, Thank you dude for the trick. Subscribed! As u said in vid, how to convert Slog2 to Rec709 when we import in timeline.
I never realized THAT'S what "Grab Still" meant. I always just thought it was a freeze frame img that had to be exported for use in compositing. Had absolutely NO CLUE it actually had data about color nodes you could do something with. This would've saved me probably around 20-50hrs last year editing 😭
