For Middle Gray, set the slider to 0.180.

@@StefanRingelschwandtner thank you

Definitely paint your walls a neutral gray. This helps eliminate any unwanted color reflections that could influence your perception of the image while grading. Additionally, make sure to set the lighting in your room to 6500K (D65) to ensure accurate color balance and consistency in your viewing environment.

Thank you!

Halation (as a PowerGrade setup) works with the free version of DaVinci Resolve, but grain is only available in DaVinci Resolve Studio. I recommend taking a closer look at the "Film Elements" DCTL pack and the "Color Shift" DCTL pack, rather than the "Film Emulation" pack. However, please note that DCTLs require the Studio version. If you need more information, feel free to email me.

Please take a look at the entire pack! There's also a Clipping-DCTL pack included, which highlights when you reach 75% or 100% saturation of the Rec709 color space. Additionally, there's a free DEMO version available on my website, so you can test it yourself at no cost. Feel free to give it a try!

Thank you for your kind words! Unfortunately, I can’t offer the BTS or film stills for download, as that would go beyond “fair use.” However, you can download the stills from my website to follow along with the course. I also credit IMDb as a frequent source and link to the original source on my website, so you can take a screenshot from IMDb and use those to follow along as well.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate the suggestion for content geared toward a Davinci Intermediate workflow and LLP-I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future updates!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. As a small business, I have to be very careful about which regions I can serve, since each one comes with its own complex tax and regulatory requirements. While I truly want to offer my software worldwide, Serbia’s requirements are currently too complicated for me to handle, and I’m sorry I can’t add it at this time. Your feedback really matters to me, and I’m always looking for ways to improve. With enough interest, I hope I’ll be able to include more countries in the future. Thanks again for reaching out and for your patience.

@@StefanRingelschwandtner Sorry to hear that about that. I really wanted to buy it but now I am unable to do so. Maybe in the future the option will be available. Thanks for your reply.

Thank you for the feedback! While it’s understandable to consider the length of a course when evaluating its price, it's worth noting that in fields like art and color grading, time isn’t always the best measure of value. These are pre-recorded and carefully edited videos where any pauses or unnecessary fluff are removed. I focus on going straight to the content and aim to keep the course as concise and content-packed as possible. My goal is to deliver maximum value in the shortest time, respecting both your time and investment.

@@StefanRingelschwandtner, I understand that, but I'd imagine that a lot of this stuff is already on UA-cam. And while I very much respect your work and completely trust your advice, I can't justify spending that much on a course compared to watching a tutorial by Darren or Cullen. But this wasn't made for me.

@@maxmeyer6395 I respect your viewpoint. The course is really about my own approach-using behind-the-scenes insights, personal research, and a structured node tree that reflects my thought process and color theory methods. It includes techniques and methods I haven’t seen covered on Cullen’s or Darren’s channel. It’s a different experience than what’s out there for free on UA-cam, but I know it won’t be for everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via email!

IMHO i dont think is that much for this type of knowledge, and the node tree he is actually criticizing is the one that darren uses, the thing for me is that is really fun to learn this things by yourself (experimenting and investigating), not only with yt tutorials but other web pages that are specialized in color, rn im finally doing dolby vision and boy it was a hell of a ride to get here.

I want to clarify that it was purely a coincidence that my node tree resembled Darren’s. My intention was to demonstrate a large node tree because, in my course, I focus on a minimal approach using only six nodes. I could have just as easily shown 30 nodes in serial; the goal was simply to highlight the difference between large and small node trees. That's all. I never intended to criticize anyone else's node tree!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m really glad to hear you found the course helpful and that it’s been a good resource for improving your workflow. I truly appreciate your support and recommendation!

Its worth saving up for. Very very good course. @filmauracolour uses this method on their grades and they are lovely.

Thanks for your interest! I don’t currently have a mailing list, but you can always bookmark my website to stay up-to-date. I regularly post my latest uploads on the homepage. You can also follow me on UA-cam and Instagram, where I’m pretty active. That way, it’ll be easy to find my course again whenever you’re ready!

Yes it does

Yes. All color adjustments are made exclusively with Resolve’s native tools-no plugins or external tools like DCTLs are used.

Thank you! The Cyber Week discount ended on December 2nd, so it’s no longer available.

@@StefanRingelschwandtner omg i found out this video too late :( i wish UA-cam could pop this up on Cyber Week

@@StefanRingelschwandtner What was the Cyber Week discount was like?

@@maxie6990 Actually, you couldn’t have found the video two weeks ago because I just finished updating the course and uploaded this UA-cam video today. :)

@@user-nu8bf3bf9m The Cyber Week discount was 10%. I don’t do large discounts because I aim to keep the pricing fair for all users at all times.

To assist you better, it’s always helpful to send me an email. I’m here to help! If possible, please include some screenshots. Are you using an Apple M1 or M2 computer? In rare cases, there can be issues with these computers when combined with DCTLs. As mentioned, the best approach is to email me with more details.

@@richardcahayon9852 if you are using Kodak 2383 lut you need a CST going from camera log space to Rec709/cineon film log.

Thank you for your feedback! Unfortunately, I don’t currently have the bandwidth to update this .drfx file. It’s provided as-is for now. If you need something more customized, like a really soft, barely noticeable blur to the edges, you might need to dive into Fusion to achieve that level of refinement.

@ what can I use to soften it? A polygon? Or a bout node? Thank you for the reply!

@@khatagraphy Sorry, I’m not into Fusion much anymore. So I’m unable to assist. However, there are some excellent Fusion tutorials available on UA-cam that I highly recommend checking out!

I chose to compare 4K to 1080p (2K for the thumbnail) throughout the video because '2K' in cinema typically refers to a horizontal resolution of 2048 pixels, and '4K' to resolutions around 4096 pixels. However, platforms like UA-cam (as well as Netflix, HBO, and other streaming services) refer to 4K as 3840 x 2160 pixels, which is technically not 'true' 4K but is commonly accepted as such. Similarly, 1080p is not 'true' 2K but is very close. I am very open about these distinctions in the video and even clarify this in the first 10 seconds with the word 'actually' displayed to show the exact resolutions being discussed. I think this makes it very clear for viewers what resolutions they are seeing in the video and helps keep the explanation practical for streaming contexts.

In DaVinci Resolve's vectorscope, darker skin tones should still align along the skin tone line, indicating the correct hue. The same applies to my DCTL. You can find additional information on my website, including a free demo version and a new video on that topic.
