ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RmjbIxD-F00.html&ab_channel=dimitrio212 got there just from your channel... just wanted to say thanks!!!!! you re the best thing youTube offered me!
Thank You so much for wonderful explanation, but I am having a doubt, you told that you have set the display in REC 709 in the settings of MAC but how different is that setting from the one that we get in the Monitor itself by default? I mean if my monitor setting is in Color LCD or sRGB and I have the display to REC 709 in the OS settings (in this case MAC OS settings) will we still be able to view the REC 709? or is it like we have to set both the monitor settings and OS settings in the REC 709 to use that? Please some one help me in this, I am struggling to understand this thing
This is very helpful, thanks. Would you be able to do a video on how to correctly calibrate a monitor for video post production? Been having difficulties getting uniform results across different makers. Thanks again!
@@theqazman 10000000% this topic please. Three different monitors form three different manufactures here and all have slightly different colours despite careful calibration by me!
Calibration is a royal pain. I *think* the issue is the gpu deciding the colors (I'm sure the expert will clear that up properly.) I calibrate with a Spyder and even right after calibrating, it looks WAY too red to my eyes. There is about 10 seconds after booting up before the calibration kicks in so the change is clear. Is it right? Who knows. I wish I could get a $10,000 reference monitor and all of the hardware to go into it but for now it would be very nice to get close enough which I don't think is happening.
First, thank you for yet another great tutorial. ❤️ I’m a FCM member and love your content! Please, please be the first on the entire web to do a video on broadcast delivery directly from Resolve or if you edited in Premiere and have to send clips back there. I have the TV Technical Specifications, but I still feel so confused what specs like ”Luminance(Y) -1% and 103%” or ”RGB video levels -5% and 105%” means and how to grade/render to meet those values. Also confused about things like EBU recommendations and ITU-R BT.709-5 and such.
@@andrewching1808 rec709 covers all bases as it been around and in use longer. Rec 2020 is for HDR monitors/screens which is a new technology not used by every user (mobile phones, computer monitors, TVs). When HDR Bbecomes common place you will run into issues using Rec 2020. Even if you have HDR monitor and workflow there will always be someone who watches your content on a non HDR screen that sees weird unnatural colors when watching your content from their SDR device (perhaps the majority).
Why do you use OFX to set your color conversion? Are there any advantages over setting the color science to "DaVinci Resolve Color Managed" in the color tab and then assigning the camera (or cameras) to files when they are imported into your project?
WOW really explained it so simple. People need to see this to understand why we need to update! Rec2020, Dolby Vision/10+, 2000 nit 😂, 12bit, H.266/VVC, with Atmos/X!!! Really, a good video and you know it down to fundamentals. I like how you spoke about the stops and how even a cheap camera today can display more than SDR.

Been debating with either Wacom or Huion pen display tablet. Apparently huion doesnt have those types of color profiles yet. Wacom does so this now understanding about color profiles, I’ve decided to go with Wacom. Thanks for clarifying what rec 709 is. I’m an animator so I do need those color profiles on my pen tablet. Thanks and liked your video
Hi Waqas, i am such always shoot on rec 709 at Sony A6400, A6500 Camera on indoor wedding video, because lighting at the place not stable, is it ok for color correction and grading?
Can anyone explain: when he adds Rec. 709 he says that's "what it looked like on set". How can he know what it looked like on set when he hasn't added what LUT they used? He's gone from the raw footage to Rec. 709, which is a colour gamut, not a look. Confused.
consult, if you have many shots recorded with different cameras, such as Sony Slog-3, Iphone, stock videos, etc. but you don't know the color profile of those videos, is there a way to match all the color spaces and transform or unify them? and then convert them all to Rec-709
Great video, but I have to ask a question. I will be getting a canon camera that can shoot Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, and Cinema Gamut in CLog, so what do I use? I also will be getting a 100% accurate rec 709 monitor and wondering if I will still be able to grade rec 2020 footage on it.
hello i have a benq pd3220u monitor for a correct preview so i have to set the rec709 color space on my monitor? regardless if the video will be viewed on RU-vid or on a TV. Thanks
Solid.. review for me... though it would have saved me tons of head scratching years ago. :) graduating from film school in the 90’s taught us nothing of Gama space etc etc.. or video.. (the little box). It was all film.. so when the industry slowly changed and people had to know things that a studio colorist would need to know from going from big budget film to compressing down to DVD (before blu ray or network broadcast). It was a struggle.. especially with 8 bit and LOG. Anyway if you think you can’t push 8 bit log a lot before it breaks up and your missing something? Nope.. your not.. it’s 8 bit log. Think about 10 bit log or 10 bit raw or 12 bit raw if you really like grading.. I also have a BA in photography so much of the grading is the same knowledge skill set..and I’m fast and fairly good. To be a good colorist though is a whole new level of learning and seeing that I have never developed, though when I look at graded footage from even a year ago I think to myself, “Damn.. hope no one see’s that lousy grade”. Anyway moving up from 8 bit raw even a decent JVC LS300 super 35 sensor with MFT mount.. (great combo) but hindered by 8 bit even live out 8 bit...took a toll. I recently picked up a used BMPCC4K and really like it.. small sensor that I don’t like, still only 12 stops that my JVC LS300 has, but it’s B-RAW and it’s just so much easier to grade. With my new Mac Mini M1 it’s fairly decent.. though if your a Mac person, get a M1 Pro or M1 Max Mac mini or laptop etc as they come out. Long term it’s a smarter choice.. though my Mac Mini M1 with Davinci has been doing well with my BMPCC4K BRAW footage. Ok, going to subscribe and check out your other videos. :)
Some errors / lack of complexity here i think. There are many flavours of REC709. If you apply a resolve CST transform from LogC to 709, it will look different to eg arri's logC to rec709. So the director won't see 'what they saw on set' using a CST with a logC to 709 conversion if they were monitoring through arri's 709 LUT because arri's LUT will look different to resolve's CST. REC709 does not look like 'real life'. Eg if you look at greens through arri's logsC to 709 LUT they are very saturated and bright compared to real life. Rec709 defines the colors a monitor can display, but the reality is that a log to 709 conversion is a subjective 'look', and every manufacturer has a different take on that look, as does eg ACES, T-cam, Resolve etc etc. They all look different when converting to 709. Re rec709 monitor dynamic range of 5.2 stops and 100nits being 'heartbreaking', bear in mind that a film projector in a theatre was max peak of 48nits. Having whites that can increase in luminance to 2000 nits isn't exactly a pleasant experience, hence many HDR grades keep most of the dynamic range similar to what you'd see on an SDR monitor, whilst letting peak white increase a bit, and the reason for this is that it looks nicer / more aesthetically pleasing. Max nits is tied to the viewing environment you are in, 2000 nits in a dark environment isn't pleasant!
Amazing video but when we round trip from premiere to resolve using bake and blade method and export a clean 4444, exporting window in premiere pro shows that it's exporting in rec.709, so does that mean like we're in rec 709 color space
Hi, nice tutorials. Affirm : As i understood color space rec 709 is used for get in the footages less color info , and let you " free space " for push wherever you like in post production. Right ? Question: I have Sony FDR AX 100 E and other handycam panasonic HC V 700 I looked in parameters, and i dont see nothing related, i xan change my footages from this to REC 709 in software ? I use sony vegas pro 13 Any suggestion is appriciated
Thank you. This was easy to follow. But one thing you mentioned I didn't understand. You said "if you shoot in log" Well, I have lots of old footage and have no idea what this means. Can you explain log please?
hey man first of thankyou for this video on time im looking my question i shhoted my travel feature in slog3 with sony a7siii should it convert it into rec.2020 with gamma 2.6 is that work good or not?
I SWEAR man I was looking for your channel after I found the first video... and COULD NOT find it, but I saw the Intro again w/ Joker, Speedo USA and Mad Max and was like "Finally, FINALLY I found it again!" I'm not losing it this time lol. Sub + Like. AWESOME content man.
If appreciated if you could use a camera log setting which doesn’t get supported by Davinci resolve and to a colour grade that would be definitley handy for some of us 👍
Thank you amazing Waqaz.. as Apple & Resolve user: do you use rec 709A (with "A" )? Or do you thick option to use separate color space and gamma? If so then what's your choice for gamma: the Rec709A or maybe gamma 2.4? Just wanna know the best output for davinci n apple. Thanks..
Your videos are true masterpieces! tahnsk for sharing your knowledge with us. PS. I feel somehow akward with my new profile picture! 😅 We have some similarities there
Hey great tutorial! I love your channel. I did have a question for you though. Around 4:10 you mention if you’re shooting log you’ll need to convert to 709, but if you’re shooting raw on red it does the conversion for you, my question is what if you’re shooting raw but in log? That’s what I do on the Komodo
@@theqazman Ok, well I can still change all of my metadata later just FYI. I'm assuming your referring to white balance, iso, etc... if that's the case you can shoot in log, and still have all your raw control.
Hi Maestro, if I use a Sony 6500 with Sony slog2 gamut3 cine, can the color space of the timeline in the project settings be selected on Rec 709 gamma 2.4? Thank you
So, at the end the key is to set my Monitor Calibration to REC 709, and always start grading whatever with the conversion to REC 709 and later start you're color correction and grading? Or can directly start doing our manual correction and grading without do this REC709 little process in Davinci? Thanks a lot!
Sir, Can you help me to build a beginner friendly pc build (include every major components needed for color grading) ! GPU price are getting higher and higher should I buy a laptop or building a pc ? (In India buying a GPU at 3x price is not possible for everyone) You inspire me a lot, thanks 🙏 [Option 1: Gaming Laptop + HDR Monitor Option 2: Gaming PC + 2 or more monitor ]
