I recently bought a Sony A7C and I tried your method with the HGL3 and Davinci Resolve and worked absolutly fine, a big thanks!!!
Very helpful video, it explains how to use and color grade HLG3 footage better than any other video out there. Thanks!
So simple and straight to the point. Thank you so much mate, really helped me here!
A million thanks. In seconds after watching this my clip has changed completely. I tried using input LUTS and it never worked so beautifully.
Didn’t know about the color space transform as an Effect. Always just did it in my project setting/color management. Good to know!
Wow you just upgraded my entire life. I’m Very grateful 🤘🏾
I'm really glad that it was helpful mate! Thanks so much for watching and best wishes ✌️❤️
Brother thank you! This is the first video I’ve seen really showing how to do this!
This was so helpful, thank you!
WOW this was super helpful. This has unlocked the potential of my AX700. Thank you very much.
This video describes the color grading of HLG captures very good. Many thanks!
I'm really glad that this was helpful Michael! Thank you so much for watching!
great video, thats exactly what I searched for!
This Recommend video changed my Resolve work flow.Thank you ❤️
You're welcome Dev! Glad that you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! ❤
Thank you so much for this, it really helped
Very insightful brother 👍👍👍 keep feeding us with more interesting and creative works.
thanks again and again brother for the video you made it really helping the newbies like us
El vídeo más claro que he visto, hoy he aprendido algo nuevo
Great vidoe thanks!
thanks a lot for this!
why do you do the conversion in the second node and not the first? I'm used to editing in premiere pro, I hope this isn't a stupid question hahah
Great video! Would you please leave some tips also for the basic Nikon Flat profile, as it is not listed in DaVinci Resolve?
damet garm!
You just saved my life mate.
Thanks a lot !
Do you use slog2 with itu709 matrix ?
Which picture profile do you recommend hlg3 or slog2 ?
Thank you in advance.
I'm really glad to hear this dude! My pleasure! Yes I use Slog with the Rec709 color space!
Right now I have switched to Hlg3 and I mostly use it! Best wishes!
Ahhh here we go ! Again I was researching to make a video and yours popped up with everything already, hahahaha What I haven't found out yet was exactly what someone else asked. How to do the same in Premiere... I'm using Da Vinci also now, but some stuff I still do in Premiere :p Awesome video once more my friend !!
Hope you enjoyed it mate! As far as I know you should use conversion Luts for premiere to do the same
tnx u, helped me so much
Hi! Great tutorial. Everything is clear and simple :). Do you know something about matching color with color sample boards (like x-rite color checker video or another)? If you know, can you make tutorial how to use color matching tool and what settings to use in Davinci Resolve (inside project or with nodes)?
Hi, Thank you so much for watching mate! Glad to hear that! Unfortunately I don't have access to a x-rite color checker or other ones! I wish I had one but for now I don't! Sorry. Have a great day!
Congratulations, I don't speak English but your tutorials are perfectly understood, please what are your settings for HLG3 and SLog2 for Sony a7iii camera. Thanks from Tacna Peru
Why you do the primaries before the transform and then the rest of the color grade after that node instead of using the transform node as the last and work inside the SLog Color Space to take advantage of the dynamic range and the color gamut?
What is the point of shooting in a bt.2020 format if it is always converted to rec.709? Many screens support P3, which is close to bt.2020, but all the videos end up in Rec.709.
Just wondering is there any reason that you do the colour grade after the cst? What I learned from other places is that we do all the gradings before the cst. Thanks for the video tho🙌🏻
Hi thanks for the video. It's very important. How should the parameters be set for hlg 2?
It would have been great if you'd shown the scopes. Without them it's quite hard to gauge where exactly your exposure falls objectively and thus makes it harder to immitate and learn from.
Hi, thanks for the great Video. I film with a Sony A73 HGL3 BT. 2020 Profile witch settings i must change at the da vinci resolve colour management?
Thanks a lot
Thank you ever so much for this clean-cut explanation. Might this approach also work in FCPX?
thanks a lot!! I am going to try all this out on my trip to Brugge (Belgium); I will be shooting in HLG3/BT.2020 on my Sony A7III
@@MehranHadad Hi Mehran, I am back from my trip. I have a lot of shots all taken with HLG3 and BT 2020. Now all these clips need to be color corrected using your technique. Is there a simple way to do that for the whole project/ timeline, without having to copy and paste the Color Space transform node for each clip? Is there some sort of overlay video track that we can use like in Premiere Pro?
Ah you've already awnserd my question in another your videos; "in order to apply your grade to other shots in the same project, you just select the raw footage and middle click on the graded footage to apply the grade"
Thanks for the help ! LOL
Awesome video !!! It was just what I needed !!! How can I do Color space transformation in Adobe Premiere? You can make a tutorial of that !!!
Congratulations on your work, you are great !!! Thank you so much!
yes, I have the same doubt. I want to know how to do color grading with Adobe Premiere. Excellent your channel
Thanks for watching dude! As far as I know, Premiere pro does not support Color Space transform feature, But you can use Correction Luts instead which will do the color space conversion for you! Appreciate your support, have a awesome day!
Thank you so much for your support! You need to use correction luts in premiere pro cause we do not have color space transform feature in premiere pro as far as I know!
Your videos are very informative. I would like to know if you use standard settings in camera for HLG3 with BT.2020 or do you use more custom settings? Keep up the good work 👌 I look forward to your upcoming videos.
Thank you so much for your support mate, really appreciate it 🙏❤️ I use default HLG3 settings with BT.2020, I just set the details to -6. Have a great day!
@@MehranHadad Thank you for your reply. Sorry to ask another a question, do you expose to 0.0 or slightly over?.
@@antwongalore you're welcome, I usually don't use M.M for exposing my shots! I either use my monitors false color or my camera zebras!
@@MadrasMic 99+ (ETTR) & 82 - 86 for Skintones. Depends how bright or low the light situtations
Please share your in camera settings for HLG and SLOG2
what will be the cst, input color space and gamma if i used 709 color mode in hlg2
Hello, I have tried to do the same process in premiere pro to convert to rec709 but the footage is not the same, but rather with more contrast, would you know if the same result can be obtained in premier pro and I am doing something wrong
Open FX in Davinci Resolve 18 works differently and doesn't even open like what you're showing in your video, do you have an alternative option?
Hello, sir how about using luts is the output gamma and color space will not be the same?
I work on fcpx but I can see how similarly can work there. Would you ETTR hlg3 and Slog2 for this to work?
@mehara hadad great work as usual buddy, is it possible to make an hlg lut from davinci's colour space transform so I can use it in final cut pro?
Thanks so much for watching dude, I'm not sure about this, haven't tested it but I think you can export a node or multiple nodes as a lut, again you'd better test it cause I'm not sure
Fantastic tutorial. So my understanding is you color grade after the color space node?
I am from India your video is amazing thank you so much for the knowledge
Thank you for this video, it's very informative. I have a problem in that when I use the same settings as you have on my HLG3 footage, everything blows way out and I have to make big adjustments to make bring the clip back to a reasonable exposure. Could you please explain if I am doing anything wrong and why this would be. Thank you in advance.
Hello sir! I'm not exactly sure what you are doing wrong! but if you continue editing the same way as me exactly, you should not face any problem
Hello my friend, I Shot with my Sony a7iii in PP10 adf Hlg3. Can you tell me please the settings in Davinci Resolve with a Color space transforn to rec709. Thank you so much
you are genius
Hi thanks for this tutorial. I edit on a mac book pro mostly, what would be a required display color? I've set mine to rec 709 2.4 and what tag do you use to export no youtube?
Thank you so much for watching, I don't change the Tag option at all for exporting! Your monitor setup is right I think, no need to change anything as far as I think
Do you know what is the cine 2 output gama
I shot my footage in hlg3 but pp 7 so rec709. Can i still get a good result?
Namastey ji
Recently youtube suggest your videos so i started watching your videos. I found it useful so i subscribed your channel. You will get more subscribers if you start making videos on topics like..
HLG3 picture profile settings
Your camera settings when you shoot on HLG3...etc
Thanks for sharing your experience
Wish you for your future projects
Love from
Manali, India
Thank you so much for joining in dude! I'm really glad to hear this! Thanks for watching and I'll be surely posting more about these! Posting a new video about Slog2 vs Slog3 vs HLG3 tonight which I think you will like it!
what is your hlg3 setting in camera
hi, can you tell us the Picture profile used here? is it PP10 with HLG?
The number of the PP9 is not actually important, you can set HLG3 on any of these picture profiles
New Subscriber 👍 Waiting for Davinci Wide Gammat video
@@MehranHadad Really u got a great clarity while delivering the tutorial. There are very few youtube channels for Davinci Resolves. I can see a big future for this channel. 😀😄😃 cheers 🍻
Really glad to hear your kind words dude! Appreciate it, thanks for supporting
Share ur hlg 3 picture profile settings plz
It doesn’t really work with my GH5 HLG. It crushes all. It could be also a timeline colour space adjustment.
Idk why if I use cst my footage turn into over exposed,but yours is normal
Brother your videos are honestly really helpful but please write down the shortcuts you use on the screen. Like how you're disabling all the nodes at once.
Really Appreciate your support mate! ALT+D disables and enables all the nodes and CTRL+D disables the selected Node! Thanks for the suggestion and best wishes
did you change anything in color management in the project settings? are you supposed to do this AND change the color management? i.e. color science and timeline color space
there are two ways! you either use the CST or you use project color management ! I prefer to use the CST and I explained it why in on of my tutorials
If you want to add a node for a lut where would you place it?
It depends what kind of lut you are going to use! If it's a correction lut , you add it before lift/gamma/gain node. If it's a creative lut, you will add it later after lift/gamma/gain.
There is no rule , This is how I will do it
Could this proper conversion be done in Adobe premiere?
I use adobe premier for editing and grading.
I wonder if I switch to to resolve for grading how the workflow between the two applications will be!
As far as I know premiere doesn't support gamma and color space conversion but you can use conversion luts to do this instead! I do color grading in davinci, then export and do the editing in premiere
i think rec2020 is a very large color space, there is no point in adjusting the footage captured in sony camera color space to it.
do you have any experience of A7iii and CINE4 picture profile? If yes I wanna know what are you camera settings and how you do color grading in DaVinci Resolve.
Unfortunately I don't use the Cine4 PP! My preferred picture profiles for Sony A7 III are the Slog and HLG!
Shouldn't the input gamma be HLG (Scene)? HLG is display referred.
what about hlg2? is that same proces?
What if you just colour grade/correct skin tones without the process you showed? Can I get similar pop in colour for the skin tones directly by colour grading?
It might be possible to some levels, but you might not achieve the same flattering results as you get here, because it would be better to convert the color space so you get accurate colors
@@MehranHadad thank you! And just two other questions, is Davinci resolve (17) totally free? What minimum system configurations do you recommend to be able to edit/colour grade easily?(RAM/processor/..)
Finally found how to color correction with HLG3 for newbie like me. It's short and easy to understand . Thank you!
