the SECRET to easy color correction? Build better looks (DaVinci Resolve Color Grading)
This is one of the BIGGEST problems I see with filmmakers when they approach color (and many educators for that matter...). Anyone can make a single shot look good in Davinci Resolve. It's a powerful tool. But when we focus too hard on just individual shots and don't zoom out to think about the film as a whole, we do a massive disservice to the cinematography. I hope this video can help encourage all of us to think more holistically about color grading, and help us think more "horizontally" about our adjustments. This also helps get a better understanding of when we need to break out of our classic Resolve Color Management and experiment with other DRTs (Display Rendering Transforms) like JP2499 and OpenDRT by Jed Smith.

FINALLY an Anamorphic Style Edge Blur that WORKS in Davinci Resolve
Переглядів 16 тис.5 місяців тому
Davinci Resolve has yet to implement solid progressive edge blur and lens blur to add character to the ends of frames but there is a sneaky solution that I want to share with you. You can find this type of blurring commonly on vintage lenses as well as anamorphics. This is also sometimes referred to as Petzval field curvature which is commonly seen as a problematic element in lenses, but occasi...

    Great video, please remember that the chips DCTL is Rec 709, so to illustrate your point, you needed to put a CST node after the chips DCTL taking it from REC 709 to DWG then the JP_2499 node or DWG-REC 709 CST Node. That's why the vectorscope was all over the place.I hope I am making sense? Your point still made perfect sense.

    Hey such a good video, I been looking for this solution for a while! One question, cause I want his effect to work so bad. Copying your method with the 2nd input and a soft outside window, the effect looks great, but as soon as I press play resolve applies the tilt shit effect to the entire screen equally. Then I pause and the effect looks perfect again. Any idea what this is? It's almost like when it renders it actually falls apart and then unrendered cashe it looks perfect.

    • @BarrettKaufman
      @BarrettKaufman 29 днів тому

      It sounds like a playback issue. Try rendering the clip on the deliver page and see if the export is correct. If the export is fine then you know it's just a playback issue

    I shot a feature in anamorphic but had to later get some pickups for a couple establishing shots. And it wasn't feasible to spend $ on renting the anamorphic lenses again for these shots -- which were basically exteriors of a house and school. No one noticed in the edit that these 2 shots weren't anamorphic. But to me, it always stood out. So I've been looking for a solution to try and dial in an "anamorphic look" in post. I will definitely give this a try. Many thanks!!

    You can add another node after and borrow that same mask and mix in a radial blur and that tends to give it a little bit of a helios swirly bokeh look. It's a bit of a dance between the nodes to find the right mix but it can be pretty cool

  • @FlyingJackalope
    @FlyingJackalope 2 місяці тому

    Genius find, dude. One thing I like to tinker with on the OG lens blur is to offset the RGB channels to create artifacting and CA on the fringes. Does this effect have that customization built in as well? Another thing you can do is push this through a depth Matt to add even more realism.
