Very well explained, I love your way, very subtle, you are not chasing your tail and talking at the speed of sound like most of the people here, which really made me subscribe immediately. About WB, it can be troublesome, but when you see the final image after getting yourself into it, it's worth it. I am working on a music video, and I'm at the color grading moment in the process and had some tough footage. I have experience, but even so, this video helped me, because times are changing, as well as the way we see colors online or broadcasted on TV or cinema, so one must always train the eye. Thank you, and greetings from Montenegro, Europe.
Thank you very much! This is really scary to those who are new to video editing! People usually create billions of nodes to show "simple workflows" to color grade and etc. You made it simple/direct!
Very good :) i think this is very essential and one of the first things you should do with your footage. However I see a lot that especially young filmmakers tend to like the "style" of the ungraded white balance often more because it gives their footage a "mood". But i think it's a very wrong approach to get mood into your scence by tinting areas that should be neutral/white. I believe a better way to achieve that is actually chaning the environment. Like in the Villneuve movie ENEMY, everything has a beige/yellow tint, which is rather achieved by set design instead of unbalanced whites.
Yes! Good point. Makes alot of sense. I guess its all about what feel you're looking for. But, Set design, lighting is always the best way to achieve mood, or feel.
the best cinematographers literally use lights with different colour temperatures to what the camera is set at. An example is shooting 4300k for interior night shots with tungsten lights. You still get the warmth of the light but it's not as intense as if you shot it at 5600k OR as white if you shot it at 3200K. just look at Roger deakin's movies for an example of this.
I have 2 questions: why is everyone placing CST LUT on second or last nodes. why not on a first one? and second Q what is PIVOT (next to contrast - i still dont get this slider) Thank you very much
Because the LUT converts to a Rec.709 output color space and you want to grade beneath that conversion, in the larger log color space, to maximise post processing latitude. Pivot shifts the contrast curve, down to target tones below middle grey and up to target tones above middle grey.
All image adjustments must occur before transforming it into REC709, this way you work with the greatest amount of information that the LOG curve provides. The PIVOT adjustment follows the contrast adjustment, making it more or less dense, but it only "works" when you add or subtract contrast.
I get the neutral concept in white balance. But I still dont grasp what is neutral in contrast correction ? Is it IRE range? So then the clip can be more flexible when you creating look.
If youd like to Change your footage a little bit Yellowish you would either warm up your Temp slider, or go to the color bars section in Resolve Offset, and pull down the Blue Slider. I have a tutroial on getting the bladerunner look on my channel, that may help!
Share your thoughts. How do you like to White Balance?

Glad to help you out, and thank you for Subscribing! Good luck on your music video!@@YoungMasterpiece

Haha I hate when they do that
U earned urself a new subscriber ! Love ur explanation! Hope u can do more on colour grading! For newbie like us to learn!
Thank you! Will do!
Great! Thank you 🔥
I just do a quicker by fixing the White balance on the iPhone before I start recording. Then it comes out perfect. Saves me a lot of time.
Really well done video. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Well done, sir
Thank you!
Thanks you just what I needed!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you

Took the words right out of my mouth, thank you

dood, your "bad" example is ok when its moody piece
So good..
Thank you!
i do same for white balance.
Thank U.
random question: how do you put the tools in hte middle to the left
I get the neutral concept in white balance. But I still dont grasp what is neutral in contrast correction ?
Is it IRE range?
So then the clip can be more flexible when you creating look.
Well you want to add contrast to get the correct IRE values, and saturation levels
can you make a full course on davinci resolve
I sure can
Hey how I creat mobile footage little bit Yellowstone
If youd like to Change your footage a little bit Yellowish you would either warm up your Temp slider, or go to the color bars section in Resolve Offset, and pull down the Blue Slider. I have a tutroial on getting the bladerunner look on my channel, that may help!
@@ebbfriday Ohh great...🤝
Pros tell to white balance with offset, not temp/tint
And why is that?
But these audio levels are mad low. I'm having to crank the volume to hear you.
Thanks for letting me know. I will work on that
