2 things. 1, you told us the 2 settings within the first minute -- THANK YOU! I hate watching over half a video and still waiting for getting to the point of what the video is about. 2, you gave us not only the why of which you change those settings, but also the why of which DVR defaults that way. Thanks again!
yeah..he changed the settings...changed them back to default..then gave the example of what davinci does by default, and THEN finally changed the setting and showed what it actually does. ...and then repeated everything AGAIN.
I subscribed to your channel an hour ago and your new video is already there. I think your videos are fantastic. you explain everything very well. I am a new DaVinci resolve user and I use your videos as a manual. Thank you for the energy you put into your videos, they are very instructive. Greetings from Belgium
Okay I think this finally did it for me and I'm gonna buy your color correction course. Your tips and tricks are just tooooooo powerful and awesome and nowhere else to be found.
I really appreciate your pace. You always take a moment to explain basic aspects of the program while keeping good momentum. Thanks for your service! great videos!
Super handy thing to know, especially for people who are trying to fiddle around and see what works. I was always curious why my picture looks way different than in After effects, when I put the Lumetri effect on and change the contrast and saturation. This makes alot more sense now, thank you very much :)
Greetings from South Africa Thank you for these tutorials, I am planning to switch in Jan 2020, I know we are behind the trend, but that is where my country are now... Your work is inspiring and I love these logical solutions. My Editors will be joining your courses soon! Seasons Greetings to you and your family. H.
one of the best youtube channels for da vinici resolve. i have a youtube channel and da vinici resolve is by far the best NLE that i have found. This channel is a great resource. This should get more views and subscribers
Man you saved my color grading life. I was not doing this and every time I played with contrast the image looked more washed up. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.
I just found your channel, and I have been doing some basic work in it for the last 2 years. Now I am getting into more technical and complicated VFX, but the information on this channel is absolutely brilliant and in just 2 videos I have learnt so much that will make my work so much faster!! You rock!
For subtle single colour adjustment, I use printer lights which adjusts the offset instead of gain. I know this is primarily for white balance but I find it super useful to get a nice balanced image.
Always had a hard time reducing colors in shadows because if i remove some red then the green and blue go up. That lumamix option will be great for that.
Thanks for that and all the other tipps around Resolve. I also booked the online-course which was very satisfying. You are really a pro, not only because the knowledge of the matter itself but also because you also always explain the why to follow the instructions and the consequences. How only can you manage to always sound quite equal. I mean, your voice is always the same, the rhythm the same are you human? Even your favorite phrase in the course "let's undo" just always perfectly the same sound :) Thanks again, looking forward to get more tipps in the future.
so I've got this running list of things to do or remember at the start of every edit. It also seems to be disproportionately filling up with quite a few from this channel. Good job! Seriously, stuff like this is a huge help -- so, thanks!
Really you are a good DaVinci teacher, now I started working with this .I would to asked to you any display settings for the DaVinci..? All UA-cam tutorial videos including your”s locking a small window and very quite looking . Any settings for that ...? Thank you...!
That's a great tipp!!! Thanks! But did you know, that you can save the settings as the default setting for new projects, so you don't need to make the change every time? Press "Shift+9" to get to the Settings Click on "presets" Save your current (optimized) settings as a new preset Right-click on the newly created preset and select "Save As User Default Config" That's all! I personally have set the "Color science" to "DaVinci YRGB Color Managed" as well. But I'm still a beginner with DaVinci Resolve.
I'm looking at my Color Management, and look under the "Color space & Transform" what should i set it to? the standard setting is Davinci YRGB, but if you go on Davinci YRGB Color Managed you have so much more options? Can you shine a light on these settings? Can't find anything on this issue on your channel "so far" :-) Cheers from Norway
20 years of Adobe Premier, now dealing with Davinci is not that easy. But your videos help. What I find frustrating, and you just reminded us of this with your video is that with each new project you have to change the general settings for this or for that. Isn't there a Master General settings page, that controls all of your new projects?? I looked and looked but could not find it. Maybe you can help. Thanks
Great video/tutorial 👍👌 Thanks a lot for sharing this 2 simple settings, we'll definitively use them in our next videos!! Also, your videos are very helpful for small UA-camrs like us, thanks again!!!
Hi Alex, thank you for your insightful video! I have what I hope is a simple problem: When I drop an iPhone 12 Pro video into Davinci Resolve 16, Davinci washes out the clip (desaturates it). Exporting reveals that the clip is actually altered and not just how it looks in Davinci. Any ideas why Davinci is doing this and how I can fix it? Can it be fixed in Project Setting? Thanks so much! Keep up the great content.
Great videos. Personally I leave S-curve on, because you can do the linear contrast with the shadows and highlights luma rings, so having the contrast slider work the other way makes sense. That way I can choose which I want without needing to change settings, or mix between the two types.
this is invaluable information. i am fairly new to resolve and hence am stil oftentimes wondering what some of the controls do. doing a lot of photo-editing i'd expect less automation in terms of grading. this is great information! thank you very much. too bad you can not makes this a global default setting
Great video. I like the idea of working with less hidden signal tweaking. With contrast s-curve deactivated, you loose pivot, so workflows can change. So for example for grading raw (in BMD Color Space / Gamma, no LUT ...) I need a curve instead of pivot ...
Hi, I have a small doubt, when we make the absolute black point to black, the graph in waveform showing a bit clipped. But the image looks good with great contrast. Will this cause any issues for broadcast? Is it actually a good workflow to even clip or do we need to preserve the entire range in the waveform. As far as i researched i came to know that we need to preserve the entire range without clipping. Any thoughts would be helpful Thank you.
oh boy I wish I knew this a few videos ago! I'm almost finished a project, can I switch to these settings AFTER colour grading to fine tune without catastrophic results?
Fascinating. If you change the contrast / curve setting, does that only affect the Contrast slider, or does this affect contrast no matter where you add it (i.e. lift/gain)?
@@LearnColorGrading thank you, and thank you!! I really appreciate that. I’ve learned tons in Resolve from you. My stuff looks like it does because of amazing teachers like you (hmm, I hope you think my stuff looks good, or that won’t be a complement 😂)
Hey Alex, whats the difference in increasing saturation with the saturation slider and using the rgb mixer? i typically increase rgb mixer and key it down to my liking. Is one way better than the other?
This is actually the same you can do with the Splitter combine node right? Separate RGB in 3 different nodes so you can correct each channel separatedly.
thanks for the consistent videos man! what codec and settings would you recommend for exporting the most lossless video (a video edited with footage shot in a lossy format on Panasonic GH5S)
Enjoyed the video, and the others in the series. I have a question about the workspace. I use DaVinci resolve on both my iMac and my 15" MacBook Pro. But on the MacBook Pro I can not get three sections (eg colour wheels - curves - scopes) to show at the same time. The lower area will only show two panels at the same time. On the iMac (27") I get the three panels/sections as seen in this video. Is this an adaptation for the smaller screen used by the MacBook Pro, or is there a way to get all three sections at the same time? I've looked through 'Work Space' options and couldn't find anything. Am I missing something simple that will rectify this?

I really like the way you address specific issues of DaVinci. it is very exciting to follow your personal opinion.
This is a huge help! Both settings have given me headaches and I had no idea I could even change them. Thank you so much! Love the course too.
I swear I love this guy. His knowledge of this program makes you think he made this shit himself. 🥂📀📺🎨⚘
Agreed!

Oh yeah! :-D
Greatest davinci channel. Nobody does it better than you.

Man, you are DaVinci Resolve's master. Thank you.
Thank you so much. You are de best. I wish I had bought your course last Black Friday
Didn’t know this is what I needed until finish watching it, thanks!
Very useful information. More of these types of short and precise tips are desired.
Merry Christmas to everyone in my favorite DR UA-cam channel.
Pls keep making short videos like this! Thank you so much!
So this is the ultimate secret to professional color grading...
Thanks my dude!

Thanks a lot. As an old traditional lithographer I really appreciate this tip...

Thank you. Your channel really is invaluable for anyone wanting to get up to speed with Resolve. 🙏

I don't seem to find those options in version 17 🙂
Could you please advise what might be the alternative to enable similar feature?
Fascinating. If you change the contrast / curve setting, does that only affect the Contrast slider, or does this affect contrast no matter where you add it (i.e. lift/gain)?
Hi Joseph. In my experience it seems to only affect the contrast control in primaries and not in HDR. By the way, I really like your work.
