my mind has been blown. just finished bingeing quite a bit of the channel. The fact that you are NOT teaching 'quick step' 'do this one thing' to colour grade is amazing, love that you are teaching that we have to put in the work for great results! I can't believe in depth instruction is amazing. I feel like I'm back in class, in a good way.
Hey Qazi, excellent video. It’s been a long time. I think I was your 777 subscribers. I watch all your videos. I’m still here, sitting back in the cut.
@@jeremypope-levison721it makes the gain knob feel similar like the offset in dwg but imo it white balances more quickly as if you're literally adjusting the camera
It gives you photometric exposure and balance using the gain wheel. An added result of which is pinned blacks. The offset wheel will introduce a shift in your blacks which you must compensate for. The HDR wheel is essentially linear gain if your colour management is correct.
Been following for a long time! Love all you do and you have helped my color grading in so many ways! One question I have is I follow your node tree you do in most videos coming from log to DWG then DWG to rec 709 gamma 2.4. I get it looking how I like but when I go to export it exports not near as contrasted as my screen shows. Do you know why? Is it my screen or is it my export settings? I choose advanced settings in the color and make sure it’s Rec 709 gamma 2.4
When you walk through your node tree- could you explain the purpose behind why you make changes? That's one of the hardest things for me to understand as a beginner, is why I should be making small changes
I have a question. I also work with groups, on a much smaller scale than you. I do real estate walk-through videos, 1-2 minutes and very basic. I generally have 3 groups. 1 for my drone clips, one for my camera exterior clips, and 1 for my camera interior clips. I have been doing the color space tranform in pre-clip and post-clip for each group. Is this a good practice, and should I put NR in pre-clip as well?
Hi Qazi Actually I usually color grade food footage from Sony a7 Siii and I need to improve my color grading and understand color more and I want to know what way do I use for pro color grading ?!!!
New Fx30 user here -With S-Cinetone can I still achieve moody, cinematic looking grades? I watched the fight scene video for S-Log3 and am wondering how crazy we can get with S-Cinetone!
Love your videos Qazi!! It has helped tremendously in my journey... As a wedding filmmaker I often struggle with grading footage taken at night during reception at weddings, the challenge being incandescent light often affecting skin tones and overall color, this is extremely difficult to balance Any advice would be appreciated!!
My questions: 1. Is it possible to not reset stabilization while copying grades? I usually stabilise on edit page before grading but if I copy grades later my stabilization disables and I have to remember to do it again. 2. What's the purpose of layer mixer, is it different than placing nodes one after the other? Maybe there was a video about it that I missed.
Can you do a simple node tree using c-log 2? Canon Log just seems different from every other kind, I've figured out how to best work with it, but it can get complicated when collaborating with other editors.
Can you do another video explaining more on how to color grade 8bit footage and what’s the best log for 8bit footage, Slog2 or HLG? Love all the videos!
Excellent episode. Do you think Colorist will/have overcome Editors? As I think Colorist is specialised nieche where Editor is a whole spectrum. Thanks in advance.
can i know how to export the vids in the best quality? i use apsc camera and i shoot 4k25fps. So can you tell me how to setup the timeline and how do i export the vids so that the result is as good as i watch all those vids in tiktok when im done editing.
Hi Qazi What will be difference between Netflix looks and movies looks because movies are inside the Netflix only Or there are same ?. I saw in UA-cam most of colorists have separate topics like Netflix looks and movies looks. Thank you KD
I have ONE question. I’m using pirate version of Davinci Resolve Studio and I’m curious is it Resolve on my system cant handle 4k, 422, 200mbps, h265, slog3 or the reason is that is pirate version? My PC specs: Ryzen 9 3600X RTX3060Ti 32Gb RAM NVME SSD Win11 P. S. I cant afford licence
HI, How to take and deliver footages to the clients, what is the workflow for the projects in which different softwares are used and as a colorist how can we work along that. thanks
Why is a Color Space Transform used sometimes, and other times just using Curves to get a Base Correction? With a CST I get an image that looks 100% like what I shot, but with the Curves I get something similar, but my colors are off. Like my reds look more orange and greens are darker. Not the same look as when I shot it.
Hi Qazi. My biggest headache right now is Media Offline error that occurs especially when I set to Render Cache. Both USER and SMART option. No, there are no missing clips. Relinking does not work. Clearing cache does not work. Zooming works, but soon as clip turns blue, the Media Offline error is back. SEND HELP!!!
Sony FX3 I shy from shooting SLOG3 as I cant figure out how to get a rich vibrant picture like an iPhone. I know then why did I buy it. I wanna become a professional. So I wonder if there is a way to color grade that way. Thanks!
Hey man, whenever I try to grade for a prolonged period, it starts to look bad. But after a short break, when I check the same footage, the clip looks good. Does that happen to a pro colorist like yourself?
yes, brother. This is normal. That's why having a proper grading environment is super important. Also, taking breaks is also important to avoid eye fatigue and those type of challenges.
Q. How to colour correct, colour balance, colour grade of iphone non pro(iphone 14,15) model's footages Q. Please make a tutorial on Blackmagic camera with non-pro models
I always get confused on how to get the perfect grading how to choose the right colors I watch one video it’s this way I watch another it’s different all so confusing can you show us your process on how you chose the perfect grade and colors.
How can I colour grade my Apple log footage to get the teal & Orange cinematic outcome? I realized all your previous video tutorial have log footage from professional camera and when I applied the steps on my Apple log, the results isn’t satisfactory.
from the first steps about tree its already complicated!!!!!!! what about the color transfer in the last node, what yo start complicated, make color transform on 1 node, that copy past and too on...?
It's not complicated he just converted the slog footage to davinci wide gamut which allows you to work on a larger color space and in the last node he converted it from davinci wide gamut(because from node 1-6 it'll be DWG) to rec709 which is the color standard for digital platforms.
I always love your work AskQazi will be another awesome series, Good luck for that. 💌🏩 I have 2 simple question. How do I create my portfolio today so upcoming one or two months I will have some freelancing work from the 1st world countries. & my second question is How do I approach or DM/Email DP or Producers so they are interested to work with me or give me some works. -- Thanks Best regard to you Dedar

Hey Qazi, excellent video. It’s been a long time. I think I was your 777 subscribers. I watch all your videos. I’m still here, sitting back in the cut.
I would love to see a more advanced/complicated node tree. Love the challenge of using new tools and creative ways to do things.
Great stuff, man - can you touch on why you change the Balance node gamma to Linear? What does that mean/do? Thanks for all the awesome info! 👊🏻
Seconded on this. Would love to know why
@@jeremypope-levison721it makes the gain knob feel similar like the offset in dwg but imo it white balances more quickly as if you're literally adjusting the camera
Also it's basically the same as usual hdr offset if it's color managed
It gives you photometric exposure and balance using the gain wheel. An added result of which is pinned blacks. The offset wheel will introduce a shift in your blacks which you must compensate for. The HDR wheel is essentially linear gain if your colour management is correct.
Qaziiiiiii ! I feel so stupid by not knowing about the basic DaVinci PDFs....Game changer for me. Cheers Brother !
Absolutely same haha
looking forward the fancy node tree
I will be dropping pro work breakdown in the near future.
Absolutely love this session, really has made me thoroughly look through my work and grading process

Awesome Qazi! Love your videos, always worth watching sometimes repetitively :D THANK YOU
Hi Waqas Qazi!! An Awesome, and professional explanation. Right on point. Very happy with this video.
Thanks a lot
Thanks for your question brother. Happy to help.
Very smart, love the workflow and appreciate you sharing the experience and knowledge! much love and kudos

One question: when you set color management to DaVinci YRGB Color Managed, do you still need to do IDT and ODT?
Thank you.but what’s the best settings to covert HLG3 footage to a workable colour space?like how to convert to rec 709?
Hi Qazi can you do a tutorial guide on how to fully utilise the new black magic micro color panel.
Thanks!
Maybe you've answered this before - but what is the black material you wear on your right hand? Is that to help with carpal tunnel?
Hi Qazi
Actually I usually color grade food footage from Sony a7 Siii and I need to improve my color grading and understand color more and I want to know
what way do I use for pro color grading ?!!!
What exactly does the Gamma set to linear do in the Balance/Exposure node?
qazi i tried but there is no option for download the footage...am i doing any mistake?Thaks for making the new series... i am always ur fan...Thank u

could you make a video with a node tree how you use it normally?
Please make video on colour grading 8 bit footage on davinchi free version... Using stock tools....❤❤ Love your videos
Can you do a simple node tree using c-log 2? Canon Log just seems different from every other kind, I've figured out how to best work with it, but it can get complicated when collaborating with other editors.
Holy crap, I didn’t know you can ripple change nodes for selected clips🤯
Where did he mentioned this?
Can you do another video explaining more on how to color grade 8bit footage and what’s the best log for 8bit footage, Slog2 or HLG?
Love all the videos!
just did one.
That Was A Wonderful Video After A Long Time
My question ❓
1)How the base grade is important because the contrast black and white level is important to expose the shot correctly.. explain
Definitely loved this episode
Is Did you know earlier, what you are going to do with your shot
Can you do a video on your complex fixed node tree?
What about near future of color grading with Ai?
Excellent episode. Do you think Colorist will/have overcome Editors? As I think Colorist is specialised nieche where Editor is a whole spectrum. Thanks in advance.
Elaborate a bit bro so I can address it better in my video.

Basically, if you follow the simplified node tree section of this video you should be able to get pretty solid results with your fx3.
I would like to ask if it's possible to explain to us how to get good results using the stabilization in resolve.
The way I did stabilization in this video is the way to get the best results. It's super simple.
Amazing 🏆 💪🏾
