Hi Qazi. Appreciate your videos so much. Thank you. The only thing I'm missing a bit is an explanation on why you chose to use a certain tool and technique over other options for different things you're trying to achieve. That would help me a lot to understand when to apply which technique.
you are the main reason im switching from Premiere Pro to davinci resolve. I even bought the speed editor just to get the full version :D These color grades are dope af
Of all the brilliant tutorials that you have made, this really opened up my eyes to perspective towards approaching a grade. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for all the hard work Qazi. You are so appreciated. (Fantastic Masterclass too. Worth every penny)
Your a true legend qaazi. My massive dream come true is to meet you as you have been a big inspiration to my work, I can't thank you enough for these amazing tutorials.
i learn so much with every video I watch from you!!! Also I have to recognize that the lighting in that shot is impeccable 👌, which makes it so much better to color grade
I learn so much from your videos. Watching you use Offset to bring down the overall color tint was a new one for me. Great work, as usual, Qazi. Thanks so much.
Wow, there is an eerie green light on one side of your face in this one, Qazi. Makes me want to color grade your preliminary remarks before you turn into Hulk ;).
Thanks so much for the great video. Could you explain *why* you used a parallel splitter for the hsl curves and cyan? I'm sure it's self-explanatory to an expert like yourself, but I'm a little lost as to the reason why it's necessary.
Hi Qazi, a big fan of your work and tutorial, you are doing a great job brother. I have one request can you also please upload some of the raw rushes which you uses in your tutorial(can upload with watermark) for us to practice.It will be a great help to us. Thanks a lot Man for the great contribution.
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! learned a lot. Would you please do an In depth tutorial on the High Dynamic Range Tool which has newly been added to Davinci Resolve 17? Thanks so much.
Hey Qazi, this is a long shot but would you look into a series call top boy... The colour grading is soooo good! The DOP really knows what she wants! You'll really love the imagery
Hey Qazi! Could you possibly do a film emulation tutorial (especially focusing on how to use color science and davinci resolve tools too replicate that dreamy highlight roll-off that film is so good for). I have watched a few movies shot on film and love the look, most recently the movie "We the Animals" which was shot on 16mm Kodak 500T and 250D film stocks. It has vibrant and soft colors, making a look I would love to replicate digitally (because film is so expensive!)
Not sure if I missed it, what log was used and did you just use color management to put it in Rec709 color space? Great video btw. I hesitate to even say it because I'm sounding so repetitive with your videos.
I see in this video you have been focusing on skin tones at the first steps. What about in cases when you don't have a good monitor?? How would go about it??
When you're working with multiple clips or working with a complete video project, which nodes would you keep or which nodes would you share with the other clips? Every shot is more than likely going to have a different color grade, but which nodes would you share in order for all the clips in the video project to look somewhat the same?
there's no one answer fits all as it highly depends on what your different shots look like, how they are exposed, how much of the same colours are in the frame and how much depending on motion these shift. Just think about HSL specifically. You're isolating one colour in the first shot, but the second one has way more reflected light / bounce / light intensitiy in the frame - there's a chance your isolation with the same settings will bleed into other parts of the frame you don't wish to have (e.g. via panning the camera) and the image just falls apart. if you're trying to grade one scene where the shots are similar colourwise, you can try to copy paste everything and then walk through the nodes and adjust while going back and forth between the shots to polish the colour matching. If you're shooting completely different things for a project I'd before anything consider what the story is you're trying to tell and if it makes sense to go for the same / different looks grading-wise and then purposefully let these decisions dictate the grading. Chances making everything look the same makes no sense storywise, in which case you do not want to copy the settings, other then maybe the grain, to stay consistent.
Alt +S on PC, Option +S on Mac. Knowing these & other basics, like proper project setup before hand; using powerwindows and stills correctly are all basics I needed to learn before thinking I could CC /Grade footage; stills and creating powergrades that can be applied across your clips (a still/ PowerGrade will recreate your entire node tree and color adjustments (including 6 vector layer nodes) to a new clip when you apply it) if you want. For me, Its an all new process from Adobe CS. Unfortunately there's no one person to suggest to you to follow. Watch these, as well as more basic tuts, you won't be sorry when it all comes together.
@@theqazman Thank you very much for your answer, as soon as I can I will buy your color correction course, with my poor English I can see a very big difference with the others. In Argentina we are complicated, but as soon as I can, I will acquire it. Big hug
@@theqazman I come from photography and I am just starting in video, I love and I am passionate about color, but I am 70 years old ... do you think I can still learn it ???
Whenever I click an eariler node I only see the changes to that point, never the final look including all the stages after. Anyone know how to always view the end result while working on nodes that aren't at the end of the tree?
Are you still using the Davinci Wide Gamut as your resolve color space? I just noticed that compared to your color management video from last month, the image is still flat when bringing it into the timeline instead of being automatically converted to rec709. Great content btw!
im at 0:17 and im gonna continue watching but im wondering... how am i supposed to take you seriously when the grading of your talking head shot looks like this?
it's really nice Tutorial but its not reflect reality because you already start with a real profissional image it's more interesting to see / learn from a poor quality video with bad WB and exposure and low dynamic range tp see what can you do thank you
I dont need your tutorial. I figured it out: in order to be a great colorist you simply need to have a bunch of blue lights on in the room where you are working. Thats obviously what most of us are missing
Wow the soft light blending mode in the Glow section was a game-changer for me actually O.O
Use it all the time.
Same thing! I've been searching for this technique for a long time :)
how to do it on Final Cut Pro?
OMG the glow layer just adds a third dimension to the overall image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Qazi. Appreciate your videos so much. Thank you. The only thing I'm missing a bit is an explanation on why you chose to use a certain tool and technique over other options for different things you're trying to achieve. That would help me a lot to understand when to apply which technique.
My favorite shot that you’ve graded so far!
Thanks
Wen you threw that glow on it
It acted like a perfect vignette
You really are a master at these looks sir
The grain isn't really my style, I really love the clean look. But other than that, I love this! You are such an inspiration!
you are the main reason im switching from Premiere Pro to davinci resolve. I even bought the speed editor just to get the full version :D
These color grades are dope af
Let's go!
Love this, Qazi. That last global adjustment! 👊🏼
Apart from the 2 and a half min boring intros these videos are really really great. Thanks!
I learn so much from this channel. Qazi deserves an Award or something lol
Of all the brilliant tutorials that you have made, this really opened up my eyes to perspective towards approaching a grade.
Absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for all the hard work Qazi. You are so appreciated.
(Fantastic Masterclass too. Worth every penny)
Thank you so much brother. FCM fam 💪🏾

Thank you
@@theqazman your welcome keep it up your amazing 👏
Thank you for all of your kind words!!!
You deserved it brother. You're welcome
I was not aware about how important balancing is and how much it builds the basis for a look. Thanks so much for sharing.
You're welcome
Qazi! You're such an inspiration man. Love the work and the information you share with us in every video is second to none. Thank you!
Thank you
I've been waiting for "roll the intro" for 120 seconds!
Please post the webinar on node trees u did today. I was in the class but I’ll need to watch it again. Please youll be saving a soul if u do this
Make a video showing turning the day into night, I am from Brazil and I love watching your videos I am improving a lot of Davinci. Congratulations!
Will do
I have watched this video many times. I would give this video multiple thumbs up if possible. Ty!
Best tutorial so far. I like now do at this way! Thanks!
Thanks
Qazi! That trick controlling the specular with the HDR palette? Priceless! Thanks again brother for yet another gem in the crown!
Thank you brother. You know how I do.
i learn so much with every video I watch from you!!! Also I have to recognize that the lighting in that shot is impeccable 👌, which makes it so much better to color grade
Thank you
So so helpful. Thanks for the tutorial.
You're welcome
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Man, so much great info here!
Tutorials are very informative and almost as importantly engaging
ty

You're welcome
You’ve actually helped me to add color better in photography too. Thank you man!
You're welcome
Brutal hermano el dato del Glow en con el blending mode me exploto la cabeza!!!
Wow, there is an eerie green light on one side of your face in this one, Qazi. Makes me want to color grade your preliminary remarks before you turn into Hulk ;).
Taking me to the next level!!! Keep it up man.
"My grades are never complete without grain" haha, figured that out xD
😂💯
Your grades always look amazing. Thanks for the tips.
"Yo, I'm Qazi. Today I'm gonna teach you how to color grain." 🤙
LOL
In the future, when your turn on and off effects, can you give a good half second to a second to give time to really analyze the diffrences?
Not to mention to give the UA-cam compression some time. Sometimes it obviously doesn't keep up with the minor changes.
Amazing technique! Thank you for your videos Qazi!!!
You're welcome
SO much good stuff here..it's like drinking from the firehose!
Let's go!!!
you nailed it
thank you teacher.
i wake up and i see this, love it
Let's go

You know it
so enjoyable to watch and educational
Great, detailed color grade information for Resolve!
Thank you
Another great vid from you Qazy.You deserve way more subs brother.
Thank you

wooow crazzy stuff bro
Soo good man! Thanks a lot!
Could you make a video about how to get moody deep greens and blues? Like a dark blue sky?
I too would love to see this.
That was some really valuable information. Thank you
You're welcome
Awesome! Love to follow along!
You're welcome
thanks
such a goo vid, thanks bro.
Hey! Love your vids man! Is it possible to get a recap of the coloUr grading you did for Chris Hau’s video? Absolutely loved the colours!!!!
Hey Qazi, this is a long shot but would you look into a series call top boy... The colour grading is soooo good! The DOP really knows what she wants! You'll really love the imagery
I'll check it out
@@theqazman she's got a bold style! Between the gaffer, DOP and colourist.

Already done tutorials on that bro. Watch my other videos. 😀💪🏾
Great as usual mate! btw how do you make that grading breakdown in the beginning of the video? TIA
Do we need to balance the image all the time? In this case, what if a yellowish warm look was what the DP wanted to create?
Good job!
Thanks
@@theqazman You're welcome!
You the best man... Big Ups... 🔥🔥🔥👌
Thanks
love it bro
you are amazing ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hi Waqas, spotted the Mac Pro on the floor in your setup. How solid is that machine> your response is appreciated, Thanks.
I see in this video you have been focusing on skin tones at the first steps.
What about in cases when you don't have a good monitor??
How would go about it??
You can use the skin indicator in the Vectorscope
Awesome!!!
Thanks
Love your vids. Im curious, why would you push blue into your shadows with your primaries, then go back and pull it out with your log wheels?
Hey! What kinda graphics card are you using? I’m using resolve and need a better card? What do u suggest?
You should do a video on your system
SUPER!
Thanks
Great tut. How did you get the viewer panel big like that? I can't figure out how to shrink the controls panel so that the viewport panel is bigger.
Hey! I saw when you created you HL Node before your first node your old node numbers changed automatically so the HL became 01. How did u change that?
It's a Resolve 17 thing.
When you're working with multiple clips or working with a complete video project, which nodes would you keep or which nodes would you share with the other clips? Every shot is more than likely going to have a different color grade, but which nodes would you share in order for all the clips in the video project to look somewhat the same?
I wanna know that too

nice grade
Awesome
Thanks
You are a Jedi
😀✊🏽
Thanks for the video! is there a away to use grain on UA-cam videos without it getting destroyed by compression?
Nice
Thanks
You should do a LA LA LAND colour Grading tutorial!!!
On the list
@@theqazman I'm going to Direct a Musical short film and It would be amazing for me if you could do a tutorial on Color grading La La Land!
it seems that Qazi is using Davinci wide gamut before building nodes, right?
please keep the clip link for us to try
Nice shot...
Thanks
At 1:09 how can I do those ultra high quality screen recordings ?
I've watched most of your videos, and at this point I'm afraid to ask...
Is there any shortcut to add a serial node?
I'll let you Google it 😜
Alt +S on PC, Option +S on Mac.

@@AboveandBeyondGlobalDrones Thank you! I was right-clicking the heck out of every node!!
Hello, your courses are only in english ??? There is no in Spanish .. ?? thank you very mach, excellent tutorial
So far only in English. Good thing is you can take your time while watching it if something doesn't make any sense to you.
@@theqazman Thank you very much for your answer, as soon as I can I will buy your color correction course, with my poor English I can see a very big difference with the others. In Argentina we are complicated, but as soon as I can, I will acquire it. Big hug

Qazi works in 12-bit, 4K, HDR, me watching in 8-bit, 720p, SDR...
Why do you love grain? :-P
What do you think about Filmconvert nitrate?
Film convert is great
isn't peach and teal getting a little tired?
Are you still using the Davinci Wide Gamut as your resolve color space? I just noticed that compared to your color management video from last month, the image is still flat when bringing it into the timeline instead of being automatically converted to rec709. Great content btw!
Depends.
@@theqazman on? 😂
So is a node basically a layer?
Sort of
ceate for premiere pro
im at 0:17 and im gonna continue watching but im wondering... how am i supposed to take you seriously when the grading of your talking head shot looks like this?
Huh?
it's really nice Tutorial
but its not reflect reality
because you already start with a real profissional image
it's more interesting to see / learn from a poor quality video with bad WB and exposure
and low dynamic range
tp see what can you do
thank you
Come on! Just shut up and take my money) It's sold even without last node. As always great video, thanks a lot bro!
😂 let's go!
i just shot a new music video going to apply some of these steps into my workflow
Let's go!!!
