Over the last few months I’ve realized something…
The way I learned color grading back in the day has been the same way I’ve approached color grades on even my latest projects.
And, not only that, but MOST of the color training I see on UA-cam or even paid courses teach the same way.
It’s almost like we learned how the color controls worked back in the 2000’s and then just called it good while all the cameras and software became more advanced.
Well I feel like it’s time for a change.
Here are my 5 tips for color grading in 2022.
- Biggest thing is color spaces - This does most of the work, and in an objective way.
- Big adjustments first. We Get happy with all the tools, but we don’t need to use ALL those tools
- Establish a look beforehand helps save time
- Photo-Accurate tools - more natural results
- Fixed node tree - Навчання та стиль

This makes a hell lot of sense.
I come from the pro audio world and am used to working with groups.
What you're presenting here is exactly what I had in mind as a workflow for Resolve.
Down to the smallest details.
So this video is immensely valuable for me.
Thanks so much Casey!
Thank you for sharing gold nuggets of information Casey! Wishing you and your family a very happy and safe 2022!
the group tab is great. Never used that before but definitely will from now on. Great way to keep the edit tidy.
The absolute best video on basic color correction and grading. Casey, you’re the best! Thank you!
SO much helpful knowledge and tips in so little time. No stupid stories, no endless talk without content. Just on point information on how to get things done. LOVE it!
Hi Jim, what a great tutorial. Using a quite similar approach, I now transform all footage after the basic adjustments into Arri Log-C gamut and gamma, allowing me to use pretty much the same grading and look procedure across different camera models. What I really did not know about is to group clips and do one post-group grading to grade the whole clip group at once. This is really a life saver when going for many clips in a project.
This was so helpful. I really appreciate your approach...and you humor keeps it from becoming dry. Thanks for this!
As a current film school student just getting started with thinking about colour grading, this is definitely going to be the basis for how I approach colour grading going forward. They taught us to use Adobe Premiere's Lumetri scopes (gag!) but I'm firmly in the Resolve camp when it comes to my NLE and colour tool of choice. Thanks so much for this and your other tutorials!
Reading Scopes is very useful. In my case, I am doing the main correction with Lumetri and will use Resolve for minor adjustments. Don't undermine tools just because they are not popular. Don't become dependent. Use your eyes and instinct. You are not your tools, you are what you can do with them!
Love discovering new efficient workflows for color in DaVinci! Thanks Casey! Gonna give some of these methods a shot on my next projects.
As a sound guy getting into film/corporate shoots and edits, this is by far the very best tutorial I have seen. Thank you
I love it. I have been using Davinci Resolve for 4 years. This video will enhance my skills. Thank you so much bro.
Your videos are so stuffed with usefull tips and solutions. I watch some movie making tutorials but after watching Yours i have most tools and knowladge to improve my work. TY
Great! I really enjoyed this. it was done clearly, concisely and quickly, but not too fast. I think I can really use this. Thank you
That was just brilliant. I've already split changes to multiple notes but I like how you went further. Thanks a lot. Subbed.
i've been looking for yt training that was thorough, professional, and accurate and i think i've found it! thank you for the terrific tutorial!!
This is SO important to know! Using this to normalize your LOG Footage changed the way I look and understand grading as well as recording formats and color Profiles.
Since a long time I follow your channel....always a pleasure while learning is combining humour and knowledge! Best regards from France....👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you this was great, and over my head a little bit. I will have to watch this again when I gain some more experience. I like your style!
This is fantastic! I used to do auto color grade and make a few tweaks for my iPhone video. Setting the color space for my iPhone in the node and make a few tweaks is much better than before.
Great invitation to step back and think about how we approach things. Fantastic, easy to follow video with a tonne of useful information.
I started working in passes and doing big major changes a few months ago and I just make so much more progress this way. I think of it as helping me stick to the 80/20 rule so I don’t hyper-focus on any one thing while trying to put together an edit. Or I do it less now at least. Love the video!
This has honestly saved my life. You are a great teacher Casey, thank you!
hey Casey,
Perfect - helps a lot and brings the focus to the right workflow with group grading. Great content and very helpful
I just started using Davinci Resolve and your tutorials are just THE BEST. Thanks! :D
Casey, thank you for all of your great tutorial videos. Just getting into Video, and using Resolve Studio 18. The segment on Color Management will work great for what I need. Sports photographer mostly, but wanted to add Video clips of some of the contests to my galleries. Shooting in C-Log3 on Canon R5 for the video. Stills with Canon 1Dx and Canon R5. I find your videos very useful and straight-forward. I like that you show different methods to accomplish similar/same tasks.
Thanks again!
Man, thank you so much for this free resource channel; your videos are excellent!
This is just a superb workflow. What a great tutorial.Thanks Casey.
Dude, thank you so much! Following your tutorials I have learnt so much and have already earned some money applying my new knowledge! Keep it up, cheers from Russia!
Great lesson! 🙌🤩 This one really put to another level of grading. Love your tutorials 🔥
Thank you very much for sharing this idea! I was surprised and happy with to see that there is a also an option for DJI Cameras in the CST. This makes it much easier for me to deal with color grading.
Sssooooo nice to see a well thought out workflow that takes into account camera and shot variations in light of color space advances. Superb. Though you can replay the video, an expanded but simple rehearing of the steps summarization might be more effective.
This really makes things so much quicker . Absolutely brilliant video .
That was really useful! Thank you for showing us your workflow. I learned a lot in 23 minutes!
Best color tutorial, very nice for beginner !
Insane workflow
Very very good one, especially the colour management part. Thank you!
Very helpful tips/knowledge in short time... Big Thanks Casey
seriously man, i ve very recently started watching your videos. you're amazing
Thank you so much for your tutorials It went from 'nice tutoet science' to simple logic! You have a new subscriber
Wow, this is very inspiring! Thank you Casey!
Just pure concentrated awesomeness Casey !
Merci beaucoup :)
Thank u for ur tutorials simple just two words Clear and concise also great lut with a simple way
Thank you, Casey. I’ll ask questions next year. Happy new year.
absolutely. that is the future and makes a lot more sense. color grading was always the risk of fiddling around. but this keeps it fast clean and modern THANK YOU!
Thank you! Happy new year!
Valuable insights! Thank you. It would be great to expand on working with multiple differing camera colour spaces.
Damn man! Every time I think, this guy is really sharp... knows his stuff... you blow me out of the water with your own growth in the following videos.
You totally logically and emotionally and aesthetically sold me on this way of doing things.
NOW... if I could just get a hold of a lap top that would allow me to download DaVinci Resolve on it.... and if I had these cameras you were talking about... we'd be golden.
Well, YOU'RE golden... I'm uh... treading water at the moment. Feeling dull and flat.
The other thing, is that when I realized that I couldn't have my favorite editing tool; I would try something else. There are two pieces of software that I'm training on at the moment... Inkscape and Blender. Lo and behold... Blender has a video editing section to it! Now... blender's like trying to explain black holes and time dialation in foreign language to a piece of fruitcake. (I'm the fruitcake in this scenario); but I'm determined, a PRETTY smart guy, and have a lot of time on my hands; so I figured, Why the hell knot! Not. Not the other not, this not.
You've inspired me to become my own hero, my friend. Many thanks and salutations!

Hi Casey
On the HDR tab, you can press on the 3 dots option and choose the camera you shot in, then it's more accurate
I really enjoyed watching this video! ty for sharing it!
When you started, I was really intimidated, but it's a piece of cake, more like Lightroom I would say.
Learned many a things. Cordial thanks.
A request, could you please delve a little into the node editor and the shortcuts? Your teaching style is really impressive.
❤️+1
Casey this tutorial is incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!
Groups! That's a game changer! Love the workflow too
Thanks! I have been searching for this simple method for years!
This is super cool, thank you for showing this. The color space transform is like magic, Black Magic ;) I have been experimenting with it and it makes the HLG3 footage from my Sony cameras look so amazing.
Thanks Casey Faris Bueller ;-) Watching your tutos is really better than going to school !!! Happy new year dude ;-)
"This is the way." Thank you for what you do Casey, this was a great walk through!
This is the way.
Amazing! Outstanding tutorial. Thanks a million, it was immensely helpful!
OMG, Awesome Sir...
You're the magic one, The best video color grading that I have been seen..👍
Hell of a tutorial Casey! Thank you so much
I've learnt new things everyday. I'm not a colourist but this helps a lot. Thanks again Casey. 👌
Seriously appreciate your videos and you as a person
Thank you for the nice video and for the great channel! I learn a lot with you!
Working smart is the goal of 2022. Thanks Casey!
Nice vid Casey! I found out about color management a few months ago and now I can never go back 😝👌🏼
Also cool too see the rest of your workflow 👍🏼
Casey Faris I am left to wonder what I would have done (or where I would be on the DaVinci curve) if you did not exist in this dimension. I really appreciate all the time you must have spent putting these very useful videos together. I have finally dived into the Log-footage rabbithole because not only is it no longer scary, it's bloody awesome!
100%
I feel like this was the best intro to color grading I have seen! Thank you
Best color grading video I've seen yet. Good enough for me to look at your resolve paid course. Thank you.
Love your vids - so very informative and easy to watch - keep it up!
Thank you for taking the time to show this !
Wow, I think I just had a breakthrough with colour grading thanks to this video.
I also realised just how limited the colour pallet on my mirrorless camera is.
Most efficient and simple grading workflow ! 👊👊👊
Nice One Casey! great to end the year👍
WOW... That is stunning... thanks a million
Saw this at the right time!! Thank you so much!
Great stuff. Thank you for the insight.
Casey, I really enjoy everything you do for the users of Davinci Resolve, thank you! I shoot with an M50, iPhone 12 Pro and GoPro 8. None of which shoot in LOG. What I would love to hear from you are your thoughts on Cinestyle for Canon, if you think it is worth it? I currently shoot in Standard picture profile because of the minor color adjustments required to get to my final output vs a pseudo LOG profile. Happy New years!
This video was super helpful I have better understanding of color grading in Resolve now
There was a day that I gave you shit about your course and not giving updates. I apologize for that your teaching skills are far better than a lot of people on youtube . Your course combined with wekkly updates on youtube is more than enough. I will be purchasing that course and focusing the majority of my time to studying everything on this page. Thank you Casey for your commitment to excellence.
Hey that’s cool. Thank you.
Quick, useful and well explained. Thank you Casey
Very nice tutorial Casey, your best one yet
Excellent! Informative, straight to the point!
Now I want to play around with HDR sections. Thanks a lot, so helpful.
Yo, just found your video tutorial, your a feakin' genius. 👊🏿🔥🔥🔥
fan fucking tastic tutorial!! I just learned about color management and color spaces but could not find a single video explaining them or how to effectively use them. This video answered every single question I had! Truly a lifesaver!!
Truthfully this has been the best explanation of color grading for me. I have several projects due right now so they’ll all be catching the Color Space Transformation and that’ll be that. LOL!!
This is excellent! Thank you.
Wow! I learned so much from this video! Thank you so much
Thank you! It helped a lot.
This a really informative video and well taught. Your approach makes a lot of sense given the capabilities of modern tools. I am currently struggling though to find a Protune flat to rec709 color transformation for my GoPro Hero 8 in Davinci Resolve which surprises me given the ubiquity of GoPro users. Can you please point me to either a plug in or an existing proxy setting within DV that is good enough. A video walking through how one would install something would be absolutely awesome and am sure would be popular. Keep the videos coming!!
love the video, learned a lot!
amazing as always!!
13:50 let out an audible "holy shit" when you showed the Global exposure paired w/ Colorspace transform... That is amazing. I feel like implementing this workflow is going to make me so much more efficient now because this actually makes a lot of sense to my editor brain, whereas previous workflows for Color have always been way out of sync with how I think. Thanks!!
thanks... this tutorial instantly got me thinking more creatively about color grading. Is there a big difference between setting up a node for color space transform as you did in the tutorial vs right clicking and choosing LUT, color space, or gamma within the node? I admit the right click method is a bit confusing
Happy blissful new year to you bro
I really really liked this episode. It joined a few more dots on my rabbit hole journey to colour correct my UA-cam projects with their massive viewing figures to justify all the effort I put in. My latest project got 50 views. Big Time baby, big time.
I understand that people like yourself, Jay Lippman and Darren Mostyn prefer a CST node however I only have one prosumer camera and I prefer the Davinci Wide Colour Space Colour Management. All roads lead to Rome.
I will definitely follow up on the nodes that do global adjustments in matching my shots.
Happy new year sir.
Thanks dude helped me a lot
Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Woah, great video mate!
Casey, I think this might be your best color grading tutorial to date.
I think that you might want to find middle grey and lock that down for that camera though. Then you can consistently match the contrast and exposure from shot to shot. Also a good habit when doing lighting on parallel nodes is to hide the power window when making the adjustment, so it is seamless - keystroke of Shift-tilda will turn the power window on and off. Without checking that sometimes you can see the power window.
Really good info throughout this one though - Big thumbs up - happy new year.
Agreed - with a lot of the wider gamut options and Color Space Transform. I'm having to not really "re-learn" but refine my workflow. And, I haven't touched a LUT in months!
Hey Jim, how would one find middle grey? Like whatever the camera manufacturer publishes? And what does that achieve? There anyone that's made a good YT video on that? Thanks!
@@DavidMacNeillphiladelphia yes manufacturer publish middle grey - you just need a reference graphic and then plot a point on a curve where it should be - So Arri is 41 IRE - if the exposure is correct - drop a midpoint on the curve to lock on your middle grey the contrast then will use that as a pivot point and if your make an s-curve from there the highlights or shadows will change but the pivot point will be locked. This of course needs to be known beforehand from the DP as to what was used for exposure. Most productions will still work everything from middle grey exposure and either add lights to brighten or add flags to make things darker. Keeps a more consistent grade if you don't change the pivot points all over the place as well. Moving the pivot on a contrast curve might feel like a good idea, but you do that and over a 100 shots, things are going to look wonky.
If the 18% gray is coherent with the exposure in the set, the DoP will have to just use the light meter and get a predictable result.
@@rdstudios-production Fully agree about LUTS.
Never got the idea of going after higher dynamic range and bit depth when it comes to camera selection just to press high quality footage into a crappy rec709 LUT in post.
You mean a Secondary Window with Power Window? Because by DaVinci's Definition Power Window means turning the Timeline Viewer in the Color Tab into a white framed window, that can display & compare different shots side by side.
If you did indeed mean secondary mask window, then there is an easier way then Shift Tilt: You can just set DVR to only show the window outline in the Viewer but not on the External Grading monitor.
EXCEPTIONAL.
Just gave your method a try and I like it!
