    The important information missing in your videos is always the information when to use which tool and why to use it in this specific circumstance over another tool or approach. That's what actually would help people the most. I learned a lot of great techniques from your videos but when to use them is that ONE thing that makes a pro. So putting emphasis on this kind of information would be most helpful to anyone starting out and trying to get better quickly.

    Question, first off I want to say that this is amazing I have learned so much about this software thank you. And second I wanted to ask if this can be used for long video. Out videos are about 10 to 20 mins average. How would that work because while riding the back ground changes all the time so those blocks for color grading would be lost you know?

    Hi Qaz. I'd like to know what you think about using stuff like Decklink for clean feed versus grading directly from gpu. Common wisdom says it's better to avoid using gpu for accurate color but would like to know what you think. Maybe you could address that is one of the episodes. Cheers

  • @aaphotofilm

    This is amazing Waqas Bahi, The biggest thing i love about these tutorials is that you always give us an insight of how a Rookie would see things, then you do it in a pro version, not many graders do this, your style is so unique.

  • @AdamSzarmack
    @AdamSzarmack 3 роки тому

    Is there any benefit to using the camera raw controls to input the gamma instead of doing a CST conversion on a node? I shoot in BRAW on an Ursa G2 and Pocket 6K's but I do like using the raw tab to get my base grade first. Should I avoid that and be doing just the CST method instead?

    I just want to know why my power window moves out of phase with the clip when I zoom in and pan it around on the edit page. It's doing my head in and I can't find anything about this anywhere, like I'm the only one to ever experience it.

    Yo qazi the speed you put out content on the channel after teamming up with Jake is amazing, really appreciate the hard work there and thanks for the high quality content as always. It's just that the in the last few beginner vs pro videos, I feel like the beginner's mistake part are being too exaggerated to the point where I felt like it has become unreal. Like those are not mistakes that a real beginner will make when grading. I feel like if you can make the beginner's mistake part more practical then it would be more helpful to real beginners. No offense, it's just a personal opinion. Anyway, love your content as always.

    • @theqazman
