As requested, here's my FX30 grading workflow! There are timestamps / chapters to everything so feel free to skip to the parts you'd like to review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going through the Blackmagic's free training as that's where I started when I fully switched into DaVinci Resolve www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training it takes a few hours to complete but your foundations will be rock solid. I assure you it only looks intimidating but it's really easy to follow.
I just got the FX30 since watching your other videos regarding its capabilites, you convinced me with what it can provide in the cine world. Now I am learning Davinci (Transfering from Premiere) and this tutorial just made it easier for me to understand the software. The grading, tricks you can use for easier adjustments and more. Thank you Victor!
Victor, the way you speak and your cinematic videos are pure magic. I just love how calm it feels when I listen to you or watch your work. You're an inspiration my friend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and work!
subscribed at 1:06. Never seen your videos before or anything, but after you put that much thought into the intro I know there’s mad value in the next 30 minutes
I’ve watched so many tutorials on UA-cam and this is probably the most helpful video I’ve seen on da Vinci. I feel like I’ve been doing everything wrong 🥲 but I’ve learnt so many things. Also thank you for not skipping over anything and just trying to sell LUTS 😂😣
Glad to hear!! I highly recommend going through Blackmagic free training. Everything I learned is from there 🙌🏽 I find there’s always free stuff to learn from. I just wanted to share the whole process even if it takes the videos to be this long. Appreciate you taking the time for this comment! Any other questions, just message me on IG! 🙌🏽
This video relieved me cause I've been looking for tutorials on YT for grading clips on Davinci and I usually get overwhelmed by their workflow (how they grade). Thank you for showcasing your grading skill! It truly is a great video for people who are intermediate in their grading skill. Nakakainspire mag-grade hehe
Salamat, Nathan! Sana madali lang siyang sundan haha. I still recommend blackmagic's free training. It looks intimidating but it's actually really easy to follow!
@@VictorLaforteza It's been going super well! Actually landed a job at a local camera store and it's been such an eye opening experience!! Hope everything's been well with you too man :)
Set the zebras at 60~ and expose for skin all day every day. Modern cameras are great in the shadows so even if it’s “under exposed” the skin looks incredible and you have some latitude to adjust it 😊 love your process and grades!
Amazing video. I love how Victor explains everything. Recently got FX30 and switched to Resolve from FCP and videos like this are super helpful. Thank you.
Victor, I just started using Resolve and have always wanted to learn to grade like you. Thank you so much for this! Learned that you can just convert everything from SLOG3 to 709 in a few steps
I see this is two years ago but color grading with parallel nodes is a lot better on the footage. Can push the image further and tones blend better. Thanks for the info. I just ordered the fx30 🎉
Very good Tutorial. Watched a lot of videos about color grading/correction in davinci but yours was one of the best! Probably gonna buy dehancer soon after downloading the trial.
Victor your work is so effortlessly cinematic! I have the A7IV but the idea of trading it for an FX30 with a few small apsc lenses for travel is sooo appealing although i'd miss the photography features of the A7IV. Your videos show the FX30 is more than capable for my needs.
Thank you!! It is so nice to use cheaper APSC lenses. FF is sometimes just too much for the cost. If you think you'll do more work with photos, stay with the a7iv but if its just video, the FX30 is a total beast!
@@VictorLaforteza Thanks Victor, Is it just me or does the FX30 have more of a filmic “cinematic” look compared to the A7IV which seems to be a bit more clinical? Like a very subtle difference
Get FX30 and your A7IV will be getting dust. FX30 is probably one of the best things to have happened in the world of cameras. Oh and it can capture stills too :) (ok, maybe not as mighty as iv, but not bad either).
thank you!! ive kind of struggled with coloring, understanding the settings, what to look for and what luts to use etc. So many things to know for someone with poor color perception lol. This will help a lot, love your work and I need me some new luts!
Thank you so much for this in-depth video, Victor. At 6:15, I saw you brought down the brightness of the entire shot using the Offset wheel. Wouldn't it be better to adjust the Gamma wheel instead to prevent the highlights from clipping or the shadows from being crushed? I am genuinely curious because I shoot most of my videos slightly overexposed (+0.7) to retain detail in the shadows. I generally just bring the Gamma wheel down a bit and put the highlights to around -20 to make the image look less bright.
Hey dude! at 6:15 I just adjusted the greens on the offset! But yes, most of the time but also depending on the footage, I think Lift, gamma, gain will be a better choice to manipulate exposure in certain areas. Another option is curves which I love using!
We use two FX3 for work, but i also have a GH5 for years now, and while i like it, i think the next camera i will buy will be an FX30. It looks stunning, and like you said, it seems like what you can do with the full frame version, is not even remotely impossible do with the smaller brother. Great video thanks
Thanks alot for explaining everything so clearly Victor, i learned to get the full potential out of my camera and grade in da vinci resolve thanks to you!
I watched literally all 30min, you're very easy to follow along to. I'm confused about when you actually edit the clips vs. color grade. It seems like the clips are already edited but they are not really put together yet. I just saw your pinned post; I'm going to do the DaVinci Resolve training now. I've basically only exclusively used premiere pro and also bought LUTs to color grade footage but I can't get anywhere close to what you are doing here
Amazing to hear! It's actually quite streamlined. So you have different tabs which the layout will be different. The EDIT tab is very similar to Premiere pro's layout. You cut your footage there and add overlays, text, etc. and then once you're done cutting editing the video, you switch into the COLOR tab. Each clip will be separated for you and you can color each individual ones! You'll learn it on the free training. It's such a game changer. I've been a premiere pro user for 10+ years and I've never had so much fun editing with davinci after learning the ropes. It just takes a lot of unlearning and re learning some stuff. Hope you enjoy their training! if you have any questions along the way, ask away! :)
Hey I'm based in Korea, I want to make films of my photoshoots at night, I'm going to follow your tutorial now for some of the clips I've shot, cheers and I hope you had a good time in Korea!
Around 8:00 when you are balancing your image, what's the reason for making those red and green adjustments in the offset wheel as opposed to specifically targeting the lift and gain for shadows and highlights since those were the areas you were referencing?
It's because of the overall color cast in the image because the light is bouncing on a green mossy wall that's so you start off with a clean canvas if that makes sense!
Hello, I bought your color pack and I arranged the LUT colors exactly according to your instructions, and whether in Premiere or in DaVinci, the color of my video is not the same as yours.
Really great video. I'm In love with vibe that your videos are creating. Since I'm a Premier pro user who wants to start editing in Davinci, I learned a lot of new things. Much more than one 😃. I'm really thinking about changing the software and this video is a great example of why I really should.
I highly suggest you should as the color grading is much much more flexible in Davinci! The best thing is that it's free or only a one time payment for the paid version!! If not, the techniques shown here are easily transferrable to premiere or FCP. Just uses different tools but similar functions :)
Great Vid Victor! I really like looking/hearing your color grading work flow, always helpful and teaches me some new things as well! Just wondering though, if your shooting with a mist filter do you add bloom in post?
Glad to hear! No filter on these but if I do bring one its the tiffen black pro mist 1/8! I kinda stopped using them recently since I can now add them in post for flexibility.
if your using after effects, what would you do to get something similar to this. where do i apply the conversion lut also where can i purchase your conversion lut im using slog 3
of all the color grading videos ive ever seen in my life - this was by far the best. All these guys selling BS classes and blah blah blah - no. This was the greatest color grade ive seen in my opinion. Got some footage sitting around from MY Fx30 im gonna play with and try your approach and see what i get
Thank you so much for this video! I am thinking of purchasing the FX30 and was wondering, if you could only buy 1 lens to go with it, what would you recommend? Thank you!!
Hey victor, i lost you on the first part only because I have a Sony a6400 and i don't think any of those settings apply to me. Can I still get similar results with what i have and how? It would be so helpful for my up and coming content creation journey. Thnx in advance.
Hey! If you're shooting "non SLOG" footage, you can actually skip the REC.709 conversion section and get straight into the rest of the video. If it's SLOG footage, I highly recommend shooting in SLOG2 and expose to +1.7 on the metering so you can get the best footage from the A6400 and then proceed with the rec.709 conversion. Hope that helps. Let me know if there's anything else! always open to help :)
Glad you think so! I'd say you'd only need davinci studio. The best part is that it's not subscription based so it's one time payment with access to future updates. You can get all the effects from dehancer on davinci :) You can also do the free version of davinci just wont be able to access some effects and edit 10bit footage.
Hey Victor love this channel i always come back to it ive learned a lot from watching u I have a question im looking just for your opinion on this do you think slapping on a lut can get the job done without having to color grade like are there specialized luts that do 90 percent of the colorgrading im only asking because ive never worked with them i usually colorgrade it all myself but i just dont have enough time anymore and im realzing luts look like the best solution on time saving
Yup! There are specialized LUTs that is almost one and done but keep in mind that there will always be adjustments that you need to make to get the perfect look with a lut because it depends on how it’s exposed and what colours are present in the shot. Nonetheless, it’s nice to be efficient with the right LUTs and you can be flexible too in the colour grade if you want to spend more time with it.
@@VictorLaforteza solid man thank you for letting me know i just found some great deals on some luts from the coloist factory and im looking forward to using them i really appreciate your video tutorials they really help
I noticed you didn’t use any 120 slo mo,, which is where I think the Fx30 falls short,, have to do a lot of adjusting before hitting record in 120, because noise really shows up.
I have a comparison vid coming up against the a7iv and fx3. One thing I noticed is that the fx30 is hungry for more light coming to get a clean image especially at high frame rates.
@@VictorLaforteza yes that’s exactly what I mean by adjusting, in some scenarios where you don’t have lighting or can’t control the light you have, adjusting iso and other setting etc.. just gives noisier image,, I really wish it would be better at 120,, it’s trade off of not being full frame I guess. But I shoot half of my stuff in 120 and will probably get FX3,, and use fx30 as 2nd B Roll camera, and never shoot 120 with it.
Great work ! I have questions, i'm using iphone 14pro, when i go to Davinci and i edit some HEVC (4k no prores) what my color managment should be in my Project settings ? And i want to ask the exact same question but if this time i use Prores (on iphone always) ? And same question again (:D) if i use Filmic pro and i use their LogV3 ? It's hard to find precise answers... :)
Mexico shots were all on the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8! I have mixed feelings with it, might sell and buy the tamron 17-70mm instead. The rest are either Sony 20mm 1.8 or Sirui 24mm 2.8.
For the Rec.709 conversion with CST, Color space set up to Rec.709 is correct, but Output Gamma should be Gamma 2.4 and not Rec.709 again. Because Rec.709 is a color space and not a Gamut. So the colors are not mapped correctly and you don't get the most out of your footage.
He he, you went to the nice countries with cute architecture and a lot of bright colors. Let's see what FX30 can do in a boring, all grey, rainy, monotonous Lithuania :D
Same in Canada. Snow, sand, brown slushy roads, no leaves, everything dead. That being said, you wouldn't really shoot in bad location for a client would you? But I bet you can still make it look decent with the right framing and grading. Hmmm I might get into this challenge.. Thanks for the video idea lol
Brother. Your videos has inspired me to pick up the camera again. It's so difficult to follow what you are saying in the video because the mind is split into weather to look at the visual or listen. Can't do both!
So just a quick question?.. Can we aquire these cinematic looks through color grading and other process in cameras rather than fx30 like zv e10. Cause i have a zve10 and i really like these cinematic looks and wanna try to make them
Trying to wrap my head around you saying you use ISO 400 on the base ISO 800. I’m just beginning to learn about Cine EI, so maybe this will become clear once I dig into it some more, but can you explain what you mean here? Thanks.
Essentially the base ISO still stays the same no matter how EI value you use. It’ll jump to 2500 once you’re too high. The lower the EI value the darker it gets on the screen but it’s actually exposing to the right. Robert Machado has a UA-cam tutorial on this. Clear concise and easy to understand! Hope that helps!
I am learning to color grade. Absolute beginner to color grading. Will this work with my Sony a6400? I am gonna shoot in Slog-3. Color mode is S-Gamut3.Cine.
It still works but you have to be careful as it's 8-bit footage and it can break apart quite easily. Best to shoot with SLOG2 with the a6400 and expose +1.7 as best as you can and you can achieve decent results

Does the Lut fully work with Final Cut Pro ?
@@EddieFrolic23 yes, there’s a guide in the LUT pack.
@@VictorLaforteza awesome thank you!
Hi! Would these LUTs work on cinematic videos shot using iPhone 13 pro max?

Very curious about the red lamp behind you
Sure! I’ll do it at some point next month 🙌🏽
if your using after effects, what would you do to get something similar to this. where do i apply the conversion lut also where can i purchase your conversion lut im using slog 3

It’s just a combination of assets! Film burn plus projector sfx :)
thank you!!@@VictorLaforteza
I think im starting to like the fx30 image more than the fx3. I might have to witch.
I think there's still a different but man the FX30 keeps impressing me for the price!! Almost as good..
amazing work! What lens were you using for the intro footage? The image looks gorgeous.
Sigma 18-50 2.8 :)
So cool. This video is pure gold. I only wish I had the money to get da vinci studio and dehancer :/
Glad you think so! I'd say you'd only need davinci studio. The best part is that it's not subscription based so it's one time payment with access to future updates. You can get all the effects from dehancer on davinci :) You can also do the free version of davinci just wont be able to access some effects and edit 10bit footage.
@@VictorLaforteza But what about bloom and halation ?
@@giuliomalloni3975 it's also available on davinci resolve!
This is excellent
Thanx very much from Belgium
Anytime! If you have any questions, my DMs on IG is always open :)
Hey Victor love this channel i always come back to it ive learned a lot from watching u I have a question im looking just for your opinion on this do you think slapping on a lut can get the job done without having to color grade like are there specialized luts that do 90 percent of the colorgrading im only asking because ive never worked with them i usually colorgrade it all myself but i just dont have enough time anymore and im realzing luts look like the best solution on time saving
Yup! There are specialized LUTs that is almost one and done but keep in mind that there will always be adjustments that you need to make to get the perfect look with a lut because it depends on how it’s exposed and what colours are present in the shot. Nonetheless, it’s nice to be efficient with the right LUTs and you can be flexible too in the colour grade if you want to spend more time with it.
@@VictorLaforteza solid man thank you for letting me know i just found some great deals on some luts from the coloist factory and im looking forward to using them i really appreciate your video tutorials they really help
Great work 😉 i think the fx30 would be a great b-cam for my fx6 🎥😀
super good value as a b-cam! my buddy says it's a seamless matching for both cameras!
I noticed you didn’t use any 120 slo mo,, which is where I think the Fx30 falls short,, have to do a lot of adjusting before hitting record in 120, because noise really shows up.
I have a comparison vid coming up against the a7iv and fx3. One thing I noticed is that the fx30 is hungry for more light coming to get a clean image especially at high frame rates.
@@VictorLaforteza yes that’s exactly what I mean by adjusting, in some scenarios where you don’t have lighting or can’t control the light you have, adjusting iso and other setting etc.. just gives noisier image,, I really wish it would be better at 120,, it’s trade off of not being full frame I guess. But I shoot half of my stuff in 120 and will probably get FX3,, and use fx30 as 2nd B Roll camera, and never shoot 120 with it.
Great work ! I have questions, i'm using iphone 14pro, when i go to Davinci and i edit some HEVC (4k no prores) what my color managment should be in my Project settings ? And i want to ask the exact same question but if this time i use Prores (on iphone always) ? And same question again (:D) if i use Filmic pro and i use their LogV3 ? It's hard to find precise answers... :)
Great explanations. I’m curious, what lens were you using for the intro footage? Thanks!
Mexico shots were all on the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8! I have mixed feelings with it, might sell and buy the tamron 17-70mm instead. The rest are either Sony 20mm 1.8 or Sirui 24mm 2.8.
For the Rec.709 conversion with CST, Color space set up to Rec.709 is correct, but Output Gamma should be Gamma 2.4 and not Rec.709 again.
Because Rec.709 is a color space and not a Gamut. So the colors are not mapped correctly and you don't get the most out of your footage.
Yup, that's correct. Definitely had a brainfart lol
Amazing amazing ❤❤
Can you please make a video about sony fx3 cinematic setting for low light and day light
Sure!
Really nice! in manual focus Is possible to magnify to check focus while in rec? Thanks!
yup! it definitely can
He he, you went to the nice countries with cute architecture and a lot of bright colors. Let's see what FX30 can do in a boring, all grey, rainy, monotonous Lithuania :D
Same in Canada. Snow, sand, brown slushy roads, no leaves, everything dead. That being said, you wouldn't really shoot in bad location for a client would you? But I bet you can still make it look decent with the right framing and grading. Hmmm I might get into this challenge.. Thanks for the video idea lol
Brother. Your videos has inspired me to pick up the camera again. It's so difficult to follow what you are saying in the video because the mind is split into weather to look at the visual or listen. Can't do both!
What kind of lens are you shooting great video
sigma 18-50mm !
hey! 新年快乐
嗨嗨！
So just a quick question?..
Can we aquire these cinematic looks through color grading and other process in cameras rather than fx30 like zv e10.
Cause i have a zve10 and i really like these cinematic looks and wanna try to make them
Definitely can! It’s one factor that goes in. I’d say lighting is the best way to make an image cinematic with a lot of adding factors to it.
Im curious, did you use the nisi fiilter when traveling to korea/before picking up the matte box? or were some of it shot with and without?
No filters on the Korea video! I haven’t posted any new stuff with the NiSi filter yet :) it’s coming out soon!
Ty!! Also curious, do you awb or set your wb when using your fx30? Love the footage
Trying to wrap my head around you saying you use ISO 400 on the base ISO 800. I’m just beginning to learn about Cine EI, so maybe this will become clear once I dig into it some more, but can you explain what you mean here? Thanks.
Essentially the base ISO still stays the same no matter how EI value you use. It’ll jump to 2500 once you’re too high. The lower the EI value the darker it gets on the screen but it’s actually exposing to the right. Robert Machado has a UA-cam tutorial on this. Clear concise and easy to understand! Hope that helps!
@@VictorLaforteza thanks.
amazing.
Hi Victor, do you use zebras on your FX30? If so what are your settings for skin tones and highlights?
Only for skin tones I set it at 70
I am learning to color grade. Absolute beginner to color grading. Will this work with my Sony a6400? I am gonna shoot in Slog-3. Color mode is S-Gamut3.Cine.
It still works but you have to be careful as it's 8-bit footage and it can break apart quite easily. Best to shoot with SLOG2 with the a6400 and expose +1.7 as best as you can and you can achieve decent results
@@VictorLaforteza Thank you so much! I will do that.
@@VictorLaforteza Why do I have to over expose?
