I applied this colour management workflow to my last project, and it got me much closer to the cinematic look I'm chasing. BTW you became my DVR go-to guru. I realised you can't listen to too many ppl when it comes to colour grading. And you're definitely an extremely reliable source of colour magic wisdom

I'm confused, at 4.51min you set Timeline Color Space : Rec.2020 and Output Color Space BlackMagic Design 4.6k Video Gen 3. // Is that what we need to do or did you just make that up? Cause you say "you can chose anything" How do we set it up then?

@reyesproductionDK 6 месяцев назад

Because here the point is the DaVinci YRGG. If you set that Color Science, you can choose any timeline color or output space, does not matter. Because, you will colorgrade in a NODE level! So. If you want to colorgrade like after 4:51. With nodes, you choose DaVinci YRGB. So in this video he is teaching us to colorgrade on a node level. Since this video i understand a lot, and colorgrade with nodes only. H.265 10 bit, (Rec 2100) @@hypelightsband

@trucsdeclasse1664 8 месяцев назад

Your explanations are always so clear. Bravo. Question: Can we use CST at the timeline level or should we always do CST on each clip?

@patrickfalls6819 8 месяцев назад

Here is my understanding, You ideally want the FINAL CST to be at the end of the global (timeline level) or local (clip level) node tree. At the clip level, you can do INTERMEDIATE or FINAL CSTs on individual and or small groups of clips. You can grade LOG, REC709, ProRes, Canon, RED… all together on the same timeline because you can apply a clip-specific CST and locally shot match each category of clips until they all share the same global look. The clip level is where you will want to work surgically on INITIAL and INTERMEDIATE grades while the timeline level is ideally where you will want to polish your look by making your FINAL/FINISHING grade.

@olegvorkunov5400 7 месяцев назад

@pascalg1981 6 месяцев назад

Thank you for your tutorials. It is so appreciated! If I want to apply a LUT. Where should I position it? After the last CST? Before the last CST? Do I need to change the CST settings? THANKS

@theowlfromduolingo7982 8 месяцев назад

I have a problem / potential bug with the highlighting tool (shift + h) in the color tab. Almost every time I use for lets say qualifiers or checking how an effect (sharpening or denoising) affects my image my entire preview of my node tree is off. It only previews the changes up to that node and not the entire node tree. If you have a lut or cst in your last nodes it becomes very frustrating because they aren’t display in the previous nodes.

@GruBerry-Weddings 8 месяцев назад

Hi. Did your ColorGrading Masterclass and watch your videos regularly, great! I can recommend it to everyone :) I have a question: If I follow this pattern, I have heavy bandings (lights in the background, spotlights at a party, for example) no matter what tone mapping settings I make (Clip, Simple, Luminance Mapping etc.). I assume he can't handle the large color display in the DWG to Rec709 area and it causes banding, clipping... For example in your video, look at the lower area of the tree (blue shadow) this breaks drastically for me. Maybe you have some help with that. (work in Panasonic V-LOG)

Can you talk about ACES workflow? And is it different from dwg/davinci intermediate workflow?

@tylerbaileydp 8 месяцев назад

Qazi, why don't you talk about the tone mapping on the CST nodes? I've always understood to not use tone mapping on the first CST node, nor have any of the boxes checked, especially not white point. The CST node that moves out of the DWG should use the DaVinci tone mapping. I've never fully understood why but that is how this node structure was originally demonstrated to me. Perhaps you can go more in detail on tone mapping and what each of those settings in the CST actually do to the image?

@jbawproductions7601 8 месяцев назад

@RetoBuri 8 месяцев назад

after watching 263 tutorials i think i got it! 😅 BUT do you then make your grading inbetween those 2 cst nodes?? always?

@RichardCejas 3 месяца назад

It's clear that you need to get the point across, but you shouldn't apply the same curve adjustment made in DWG to the REC 709 node. obviously that it wont work. because of mapping issues. you can get the same result with rec709 color space buy making a custom curve adjustment. That example is a bit tricky in my opinion. but, the color management info in this video is good stuff.

@twenty-fourframedavinci8641 8 месяцев назад

I usually work in ACEScct. Would you reccomend setting your gamut input and output in the color management tab or going manually into your nodes and doing your grading via a similar method to this one?

@michaelavrie 8 месяцев назад

The big thing with using the timeline color settings is that your tools all work in that color space by default (color space aware). If you leave the project/timeline at Davinci YRGB and then use CSTs/ACES Transforms, you'll need to right click on every node in the middle and set it manually to ACES color space and gamma, otherwise they'll assume it's your timeline color space, so if that's Rec709 or DWG that will be wrong. So i really prefer using the timeline color settings for ACES stuff, and I usually do full color managed workflow, with IDTs per clip. But if you want to do the full manual node based approach and use ACES, you can still use DYRGB (non-color managed) and then set the timeline color/gamma to your ACES specs. The only difference is that you have to manually set up an input transform and output transform using nodes--with color managed, you right click the Clip on the color page and select your Input Transform (IDT), all your nodes are in ACES, and you don't need an output transform node bc Davinci handles it for you.

@michaelmerchan6633 8 месяцев назад

Is there a difference in grading capability and color bottlenecking when doing “Davinci Color Managed->HDR Danvici Wide Gamut Intermediate -> Rec.709 Gamma 2.4” VS. doing it at the node level by adding a Color Space Transform Node?

@ts76751 8 месяцев назад

@JJ_Khailha 8 месяцев назад

With CST you have the control and choice as to where to place nodes in relation to the transform node. e.g. you can place Noise Reduction before the first CST node and you could add grain after the second CST node. With Davinci color managed you get no say in that.
