Your 28 min tutorial took me 3 hours to watch. In the 2nd monitor, I'm practicing each tool on my own footage. You put a lot of effort into making this. Big Thanks.
Hello, I found your channel from Mr Alex. I have to say I have learned more in the last half hour watching this episode than the many youtube channels from exuberantly energetic hosts with high energy voices and moving fast on screen. And then I'm left bumbling around blindly trying to repeat what I saw because I did not know the basics. Its actually very hard to find a channel such as yours, and Mr Alex's, that takes the time to show the basic stuff like how to select and use tools. Most tutorials do loads of magic on the screen where you see power tools pop up everywhere and you don't have a scooby how they achieved that task. I come from Windows environment and it took a while to realise that I could press the mouse wheel to do something. 😀 Even though I am a happy amateur making little episodes for my own pleasure and friend's amusement on UA-cam, I do enjoy the process of trying to grade my little projects as best I can while at the same time trying NOT to make them look obviously titillated where I have orange and teal Oompa Loompas on screen. I do have one question which I hope you could help with. I have a Panasonic GH5 and I'm trying to challenge myself and move away from a CineD colour profile to a more flat profile to mess around with in Resolve. may I ask your thought on Hybrid Log Gamma and V Log? I understand that HLG was created by the BBC for live broadcast of High Def and Standard Def TV/monitors. Even tough I only have a standard def monitor and publish to UA-cam is HLG a good profile for me to learn and use with my GH5 set to 10bit recording?
Hi and thanks for your kind words. In answer to your question, as a colourist I prefer a log image - I don't mind which you prefer to use (I usually have little say as by the time it gets to me it has usually been shot and edited unless it is one of our in-house productions!). 10 bit over 8 bit is also important! if you can give me 10 bit log (or higher!!!!!), even better! Good luck on your Resolve journey! All the best.
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks for getting back to me about using any flavour of log, as long as its log. As of this week, I have made a concerted effort to use HLG, more so because I do not want to give Panasonic any more money. They would not let me transfer the Log upgrade from my dead camera to my new one. 😪 I wish you well with your channel. I've had one for 13 years now, and I ain't going to be leaving my job in the near future with my subs count.
Just checked out your channel ! My grandparents lived in Blackpool so very fond memories as a child!! You nearly have 100 subs so anything is possible!! You have years of experience on me at least,...Id hardly even used UA-cam until about 14 weeks ago!! All the best with your channel too...at least the images will look more colourful moving forwards with your new knowledge! All the best, Darren.
@@DarrenMostyn That is an actual laugh out loud moment of happiness. Big time, here I come. 😀 However I think I'll stick to driving my little ambulance around Las Vegas of the North. I genuinely wish you well.
Darren, this is amazing. I've watched a few of your videos now but this was so useful. I didn't realise there was another panel at the bottom of the screen giving me yet more controls. Super useful, thanks for making these.
This was much more than an intro. Loved it. We're transitioning from Avid to Resolve and also taking on grading. This was extremely valuable for our current production! Thanks Darren. Will def check out more of your stuff. As was mentioned, you are very precise. No fluff or rambling. Very respectful of the viewer's time.
As someone who is only just making first steps in colour grading, this is exactly what I've been looking for in a loooooooooooong time. I love that you explain EVERY part of the process and don't go 'just set this to that, trust me on that'. Amazing
Thank you. Appreciated. you should definitely join my exclusive EMAIL list for free items and future goodness eepurl.com/hob0oH (non-spammy guaranteed). I will have some news soon that will be of interest to you!! All the best, Darren.
I downloaded DR17 a week ago and have tried watching the usual "Hi Guys, watcha doin" shouted tutorials. Then thankfully your video showed up in my recommendations. Brilliant ! Clear, easily understood tutorial - thanks Darren !
Glad to hear my style works better for you. There are lots of them if you search my channel videos. If just starting checkout the cut page one too. Also, you might want to join my exclusive EMAIL list for free items and future goodness eepurl.com/hob0oH (non-spammy guaranteed) All the best, Darren
Succinct, precise and easy to follow. Finally a tuitorial that teaches a step by step guide without the distraction of a backing track or jonty presenter! My new Go-to. Thank you.
Being completely self taught but a long time DR user, this video was invaluable to me. I found more than a couple of 'little' things I either didn't know or had developed complicated 'work-a-rounds' for. Thanks for all your work putting these videos out. Can't wait for the next one.
This is so good. I had one quite poorly shot video and have been stuck at it for a while. With the tips here, I managed to balance out the lows, mids and highs. I had no idea what those words even meant only couple of hours ago. It is a fine art balancing the colours, but at least I am not avoiding the color section.
WOW! I am catching up on my notifications and I just watched this entire video!!! I WISH IT WERE 4 HOURS LONG! hahahah, This was HANDS DOWN, THE BEST COLOR PAGE TUTORIAL I'VE EVER SEEN. I feel like now I can watch other videos and actually understand. Thank you so much. You are a phenomenal teacher and I will continue to watch your videos and recommend them to my friends!!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS.
Thanks Darren, just what I needed! Due to lockdown I have become the accidental film maker for our church and slowly but surely I've been getting to grips with Resolve. This has been a big help, and you have a new subscriber.
I have been using the colour page for about 6 months. Before subscribing to you this past week I'd looked at other tutorials. Thought I knew a lot of stuff. Nope. You are absolutely the best of all. So well done, clear, easy to understand. Thank you. Wish I'd found you months ago. A real pro with a learners perspective. Great. Thank you agaib.
Hello Jack. thank you - appreciated. A few months ago I wasn't here anyway! Come late to UA-cam, I only started the channel 3 months ago. Plenty more episodes coming! Thanks for subscribing!
This is an absolute game changer. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Tutorials at this level are just what I need. Are you looking to release an online course at some point in the future ?
Thank you!! I love learning from the more advanced tutorials but... this is great because it goes over the small details that are sometimes overlooked. I love the channel! Thank you for the great content!
Thank you. Yes, depending on the grounding info you get when starting out on Resolve can determine the path you take to best practises. You should consider my email list for updates and free links - not regular, not spammy, just important info when you need it. eepurl.com/hob0oH
Thank you . Darren. i'm like intermediate to Davinci but still totally enjoy your video like the whole. really like your voice. Hope to see more advanced stuff.
Greetings from Scotland. Your tutorials are great. Very good and clear. Thankfully they're available to watch again because I have to go over each one two or three times before I grasp it all. No fault of your teaching, it's just that there's a lot packed in to one session. Keep them coming!
Hello William. Yes, no air on my tutorials - clear and concise is my method but with real examples not just theory .. why use the tools? I hope to explain this. Welcome to the channel and thank you for commenting - appreciated.
I have watched now all of your tutorials this morning and I have learned so much in this short time. You do this brilliantly! Very useful things in a nice and easy way explained. Thank you so much for this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been bumbling around with the Color tab based on other YT videos I have seen. This has helped so much. So I actually think this video is helpful to people who have had some experience. I can't wait to do more colour grading now and see how you do it at an intermediate level.
@@DarrenMostyn I really can't overstate it. Presentation pace is great and it feels like sitting down with an expert. If you're considering requests, some tips on file management would be appreciated: how you work with databases and external/storage drives, how you store and reference your assets particularly WRT sharing then between projects, and how to consolidate and archive, where render and cache files go and how to prevent gigantic bloated hard drives with lots of duplication. Perhaps I'm just awful at this 😂 Might not be something you're interested in but wanted to put my vote in for that in case you're considering it.
Great video, I am still a beginner but I have worked in the color page before. This is a great review of the ui if you dont work with davinchi resolve every day
This is the first one that I am not going to watch - but only because you told me not to - lol. This is a really good resource for new users to Resolve. There are lots of competition in this particular area, but I remember starting out - not knowing what was correct information from what was just somebody's weird version of a workflow that they thought was correct. ( Still see a lot of that ). So if you are a new user to Resolve - I have been running forums all over Facebook for thousands of people over the last 6 years and know many Pro colorists and specialists and I am telling you Darren knows his stuff. You are getting quality information here. Do yourself a huge favour and subscribe and let your brain in on all the information to come. Big thumbs up.
Thanks. Enthusiastic hobbyist here (the kind of person who edits and would colour grade videos of his kids for fun (if he had more time in the day...)) Generally I'm amazed that these tools are readily available to people like me and I want to play. Anyway this is a good overview of what stuff does. I've played before and got confused, and in future I think I'll spend less time being confused. I think the next step will be understanding what makes a good grade; what different types of look might be desirable, and that sort of thing. Looks like you have videos on that, too. Also I have an OLED HDR TV sitting next to me and I want to see what I can make that do... One step at a time, though.
Good day Mr. Mostyn, through your beginners tutorials, I now have a better understanding of Davinci, thank you Sir. Continue to help us demystify this awesome tool, Jah guide.
Thank you very much, Darren, for your really fantastic explications and your calm and competent manner of clarifying complicated proceedings. Looking forward to your next videos!
thanks to Mr Alex Tech for introducing you. This is one area where I've needed to grow, the color page has been mysterious to me. Resolve is so powerful, thanks for demystifying it a bit. Well done!
Newbee here!.....lol This was super helpful Darren. I’ve been playing with the colour page for a little while now but I still picked up lots of new information, tricks & tips. Another superb tutorial! Thankyou 😀👍🥰
Another First class Material Sir Darren, as a baby to color correction and grading Especially with DaVinci Resolve 17 still struggling at this New color world.
You introduced this by saying it might be a waste of time for more advanced users ... but it is not. Especially if you taught yourself, its is very easy to miss a detail in the interface, or just not to know something's proper name. I learned color grading on Apple Color ... and taught myself Resolve. Even though I have read the manuals and such - things get missed or forgotten. For example ... I did not know I could double click on the name of the adjustments (contrast, temp, etc.) in the primary panel to reset them, so I've been using those on a separate node so I could just reset the node... for years. My point being it is ALWAYS worthwhile to review material - even stuff we already are very familiar with. All the best.
Paddy, Hi. Thank you for the sub - really appreciated. Glad you like that episode. You should sign up to my email list - might be good for you! See in the community tab.
@@Paddycam1 Thanks for the coffee - just seen that! Happy to chat about grading your clients work - all my social media links and my email are in the about page. Feel free to get in touch. All the best.
A good reminder of the basics. I always forget about the additional curve options. I’m still struggling with some other basic things like matching shots from two different cameras, how to white balance when using ND filters and best render settings to preserve color when exporting to UA-cam. Not sure if this is in demand for future videos. Thanks again, and well done on the 3K.
Please do go into input (and output) transforms. I've been working with them for a contract gig but feel a bit aloof as far as what I'm specifically doing when using them. I would love to have a deep dive into this (color spaces in general) and specifically in knowing how to know I've selected the proper input or output transforms. Great tutorials! Love your stuff.
Hi Joseph. Yes, this will be an in-depth in the coming weeks. Not for a while though as next 6 at least are planned. Thanks for your feedback. I can only do 1 a week at most due to my day job as a colourist and running a facility!
Thank you for letting me know. Really appreciated when people take time to comment just to say if they thought it was good or not - it's a one way street otherwise. I want to make the content you want to see. You should consider signing up to my email list as I have something that might be of particular interest to you in the near future. eepurl.com/hob0oH
Nice video Darren great for anyone starting out. I spun through it, have to admit did not know the "middle mouse key trick" brilliant! going to try that later. A tutorial on "good keying" techniques would be greatly appreciated. Fab tutorials and thank you for the time and effort you take to help educate us out here. Cheers Russ
The only time you were wrong is the intro - I've been grading in davinci for a month or two, watched a lot of tutorials and this filled in so so many gaps. Thanks
Thanks MrTegid. If you enjoyed that you may want to consider signing up to my exclusive email list. Im giving away free stuff on their occasionally. Its not spammy, just a way of me getting free stuff to you. eepurl.com/hob0oH. Have a good weekend.
In line with his other killer tips and tutorial videos, Darren gives us a good overview of the color page in Davinci Resolve. Especially focusing on beginners, the (slightly) advanced user finds a lot of small tips and tricks as well. Definitely useful, and highly recommended. Like, subscribe and share so that your friends and colleagues can take advantage as well. Thanks again, Darren.
Thank you for the introduction 👍 Is there a difference between Shadows and Lift or Highlights and Gain? Looks very simular to me; both scale the colorchannels from the other end of the scale, dont' they? Hm... maybe different in "more advanced" colorspaces?!
Good suggestion Alessa. Its harder than colour IMO. I graded a music video for Liam Gallagher - shot on 7 different formats - B/W showed up all different camera noise immediately. Will add it to the list. All the best.
Can’t say it enough, your videos are super helpful, if I could give it five likes I would. So easy to follow. I love the way you say “ won’t touch that one in this video” as if it will be distracting from what the video is about. No chat for half an hour to then take five minutes to explain what the video is about. I watched the tour of your studio last night, found it quite funny with the outtakes at the end. Thumbs up tk the best ten tips vid as well. Just wondering if you are going to do any videos of any settings you can change to make the program run faster or smoother. If you have then I have not found them lol All the best and thanks for taking time to reach us all I just realised that I am on work account, I am subbed on my own account tho
Thanks Steve. Appreciated and glad you enjoying my 'varied' content!! Id liek to get a few more vlogs in soon. Ive not done 'speed enhancements' as this is pretty well covered by others and most is fact as opposed to opinion so no point in me repeating really. All the best, and thank you for kind words! Darren
Darren, thank you so much, this was super useful and just exactly the right level I was needing. Excellent work! One question I was left with is how I might apply grades to an entire project and opposed to clip by clip as you showed, or to groups of clips. For instance if I have a number of interview clips, and a collection of indoor b-roll clips, and then maybe another collection of some outdoor clips. Is there a way I would apply a grade to all of these individual collections? One minor suggestion is to remember to include the key/mouse combinations for Windows/PC users (like me!) if at all possible. Thank you again and please keep up the great work, it is appreciated!
I am far from a pro but I'm sure you won't have the same light levels indoors and outdoors. The light levels ( I think) will affect your colours, hue and saturation, but I'm sure Darren will correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Marc. Yes, groups is the way to go with this, but use carefully as each shot will still need its own grade. Timeline grade allows you to grade entire sequence. Glad you like the channel, all the best, Darren
Hello Darren! Could you please make a video about Color Management tab in setting and about Color Space Transform tool and comparing it to a LUT. As far as I understand, you should use either one before you start to do anything in Color page? Thank you!
Hello Aivo. Great suggestion. You should probably sign up to my email list - I am announcing important updates on their. Could be good for you i think. eepurl.com/hob0oH
@@DarrenMostyn Yes! I signed up. Your videos are great, keep it up! Also would be nice for the beginner to understand the whole file and work structure in Resolve. Meaning, for example, what is cache folder and when to clean it, how to handle Media Offline, should media be run off from SSD or HDD and all that good stuff for beginners to give broader understanding how the system works. There's bits and pieces here and there but I haven't really found one comprehensive source that covers this topic.
Amazing tutorial. There is one persistent issue that I'm having. There's a prompt that says 'Cache update required' every time I create a new project. Do you know how to resolve this? Thanks for the fantastic video.
I can apply grades so i can copy these to other clips? That was mindblowing. i'm still for a year in DaVinci and its fantastic, how deep it is - Thank you - subscribed !
Great lesson, very informative for beginners ☝ I would like something for a high level, with video format BRAW! I look forward to your lessons! Thank you so much ジ
Thanks Darren, this is super helpful. Had to watch it three times. Took notes on the third :) - Is color grading a clip from the media page a thing? As a way to take an entire clip and apply a look to it for then editing in later?
Thank you Darren keep up with the videos at this level of experience, please. I love your teaching and explaining techniques. I do have a question what are the blue symbols underneath the green symbols on the sides of the nodes on the node tree? thanks Jeremy
You are the best UA-cam secret channel !!! Awesome awesome awesome excellent tips and tutorials!! Your channel will be huge one day Darren!! You are pretty much the best ive seen. Any chance you could do a tutorial with delivering a job with the best quality for a client and best settings for vimeo or UA-cam? Im going to delivery a wedding film on a pen drive ( UA-cam compression dosent help much quality) thank you very much!! Awesome awesome channel!!!

There are lots of competition in this particular area, but I remember starting out - not knowing what was correct information from what was just somebody's weird version of a workflow that they thought was correct. ( Still see a lot of that ).
So if you are a new user to Resolve - I have been running forums all over Facebook for thousands of people over the last 6 years and know many Pro colorists and specialists and I am telling you Darren knows his stuff. You are getting quality information here. Do yourself a huge favour and subscribe and let your brain in on all the information to come. Big thumbs up.
Cheers Jim. Thats a huge compliment - much appreciated! Thank you. ATB, Darren
this video is an absolute godsend thank you sooooo much
Thanks. Enthusiastic hobbyist here (the kind of person who edits and would colour grade videos of his kids for fun (if he had more time in the day...)) Generally I'm amazed that these tools are readily available to people like me and I want to play.
Anyway this is a good overview of what stuff does. I've played before and got confused, and in future I think I'll spend less time being confused.
I think the next step will be understanding what makes a good grade; what different types of look might be desirable, and that sort of thing. Looks like you have videos on that, too. Also I have an OLED HDR TV sitting next to me and I want to see what I can make that do... One step at a time, though.
Good day Mr. Mostyn, through your beginners tutorials, I now have a better understanding of Davinci, thank you Sir. Continue to help us demystify this awesome tool, Jah guide.
You are very welcome
I wish I had found this at the beginning of my DR journey. I have made so many bad errors, I think I need to back and correct them all now!
Thank you very much, Darren, for your really fantastic explications and your calm and competent manner of clarifying complicated proceedings. Looking forward to your next videos!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers Uwe,
thanks to Mr Alex Tech for introducing you. This is one area where I've needed to grow, the color page has been mysterious to me. Resolve is so powerful, thanks for demystifying it a bit. Well done!
I agree with you!
Newbee here!.....lol This was super helpful Darren. I’ve been playing with the colour page for a little while now but I still picked up lots of new information, tricks & tips. Another superb tutorial! Thankyou 😀👍🥰
Glad it was helpful! Darren
Outstanding video! I will be taking a look at the rest of your tutorials. Thank-you.
Pleased to hear it Jerry. Hit the like buttons too...helps my UA-cam channel get seen. have a good weekend.
Brilliant. If you haven’t already a qualifier tutorial would be fab. I great having a clear explanation of why tools exist in the programme.
Its on the list. Thank you
Absolutely fantastic tutorial!!!! Just what I was looking for! Thank you for sharing such helpful work!
Glad it was helpful! I have a new one coming for speed editor and cut page so watch this space. Join my exclusive EMAIL list here eepurl.com/hob0oH
@@DarrenMostyn I subscribed to your You Tube channel and the email list. Looking forward to check all your tutorials!
Thank you so much. I am a beginner and this is what I needed!
Glad it was helpful! welcome to my channel,
Another First class Material Sir Darren, as a baby to color correction and grading Especially with DaVinci Resolve 17 still struggling at this New color world.
stick with it...Im looking at doing some more beginners stuff as I appreciate some of my stuff is advanced.
Fabulous Instruction, thank you
You introduced this by saying it might be a waste of time for more advanced users ... but it is not. Especially if you taught yourself, its is very easy to miss a detail in the interface, or just not to know something's proper name. I learned color grading on Apple Color ... and taught myself Resolve. Even though I have read the manuals and such - things get missed or forgotten.
For example ... I did not know I could double click on the name of the adjustments (contrast, temp, etc.) in the primary panel to reset them, so I've been using those on a separate node so I could just reset the node... for years.
My point being it is ALWAYS worthwhile to review material - even stuff we already are very familiar with.
All the best.
Good to know - yes I am sure there are little nuggets in each one. All the best. Thank you.
Wow Darren! Thank you! Great tutorial to learn from. You are a life saver. Ive subscribed.
Paddy, Hi. Thank you for the sub - really appreciated. Glad you like that episode. You should sign up to my email list - might be good for you! See in the community tab.
Excellent, I may call upon you for clients that need a Master colourist job in the future. In the meantime have a coffee on me! 😃
@@Paddycam1 Thanks for the coffee - just seen that! Happy to chat about grading your clients work - all my social media links and my email are in the about page. Feel free to get in touch. All the best.
Thank You very much.
and I Appreciate that if you could arrange these play list in order to follow from the beginning for a beginner.
Excellent. Exactly what I needed to get me started. You have a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Good to have you along Andy. All the best, Darren
Thank you so much! This was surprisingly straightforward and helpful 🖐 You've got yourself a subscriber 🥇
Thanks for your kind words and subscribing! More coming soon!! Appreciated.
Been waiting for this one thank you 👍
Hope you like it!
Excellent content and delivery. Thanks!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A good reminder of the basics. I always forget about the additional curve options. I’m still struggling with some other basic things like matching shots from two different cameras, how to white balance when using ND filters and best render settings to preserve color when exporting to UA-cam. Not sure if this is in demand for future videos. Thanks again, and well done on the 3K.
hI. thats about 7 episodes worth!!! All the best
Darren
@@DarrenMostyn 😂 I had no idea. I use Film Convert at the moment but it really slows things down on my laptop. Thanks again for the video tips.
Please do go into input (and output) transforms. I've been working with them for a contract gig but feel a bit aloof as far as what I'm specifically doing when using them. I would love to have a deep dive into this (color spaces in general) and specifically in knowing how to know I've selected the proper input or output transforms. Great tutorials! Love your stuff.
Hi Joseph. Yes, this will be an in-depth in the coming weeks. Not for a while though as next 6 at least are planned. Thanks for your feedback. I can only do 1 a week at most due to my day job as a colourist and running a facility!
@@DarrenMostyn I can be patient. I look forward to all the upcoming content. Keep it up!
Super helpful! Thank you!
Yup, this was an extremely good tutorial. Impressed.
Thank you for letting me know. Really appreciated when people take time to comment just to say if they thought it was good or not - it's a one way street otherwise. I want to make the content you want to see. You should consider signing up to my email list as I have something that might be of particular interest to you in the near future. eepurl.com/hob0oH
@@DarrenMostyn done!
Amazing video ! How can I adjust my workspace to look like yours ? I can't resize verticallt my windows in the colour section
Its to do with screen resolution not the GUI. Bigger screen res gives you better interface. Hope that helps.
what a great video very detailed and simplified
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing tutorial, thanks!!!
😁 Your videos are GREAT all the times. Sir.
Nice video Darren great for anyone starting out.
I spun through it, have to admit did not know the "middle mouse key trick" brilliant! going to try that later.
A tutorial on "good keying" techniques would be greatly appreciated.
Fab tutorials and thank you for the time and effort you take to help educate us out here. Cheers Russ
Glad it helped. probably have a list of episodes for the next three years!! thanks.
After watching some 50 odd videos this is the first channel I am subscribing.
Appreciated Mohammed. Welcome to my channel and enjoy!! Hit notification too as I occasionally live stream without much notice!!
you're amazing Darren! Thx a lot
very kind of you. appreciated.
The only time you were wrong is the intro - I've been grading in davinci for a month or two, watched a lot of tutorials and this filled in so so many gaps. Thanks
Thanks MrTegid. If you enjoyed that you may want to consider signing up to my exclusive email list. Im giving away free stuff on their occasionally. Its not spammy, just a way of me getting free stuff to you. eepurl.com/hob0oH. Have a good weekend.
Awesome Darren! Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
In line with his other killer tips and tutorial videos, Darren gives us a good overview of the color page in Davinci Resolve. Especially focusing on beginners, the (slightly) advanced user finds a lot of small tips and tricks as well. Definitely useful, and highly recommended. Like, subscribe and share so that your friends and colleagues can take advantage as well. Thanks again, Darren.
Appreciate that Willi. Have a good weekend.
Thanks for making it so easy to digest
That is the aim so glad it worked. Check out the description to download my free goodies.
Excellent beginners guide. I would really be interested in your suggestion of a tutorial on better keying with HSL that you mentioned at about 22.29.
Noted. Thanks John.
Thank you so much for this intro!
Thank you for the introduction 👍
Is there a difference between Shadows and Lift or Highlights and Gain? Looks very simular to me; both scale the colorchannels from the other end of the scale, dont' they?
Hm... maybe different in "more advanced" colorspaces?!
I would love to see a tutorial on how you are doing some of your color grades. The node tree look pretty intense. Thanks, I love your tutorials
Hi Randy. That will be coming - I have some really unique ideas in to how to do this too...coming 2021!
Thanks, I have enjoyed your video and look forward to some more advanced color grading
Love your content. Do you have any videos to explain/teach the art of color correction/grading? it seems like a creative skill versus a technical one.
I run a masterclass once or twice a year. Covers EVERYTHING. Last one was May 24 so not until early next year now.
Darren, great channel! I have a suggestion for a video. A color grading video for black n white footage. I would love to see your perspective on it
Good suggestion Alessa. Its harder than colour IMO. I graded a music video for Liam Gallagher - shot on 7 different formats - B/W showed up all different camera noise immediately. Will add it to the list. All the best.
What a great tutorial!! Thanks heaps!!
You're very welcome! Check out the others in the series...lots more advice! Tell your friends! Darren.
Can’t say it enough, your videos are super helpful, if I could give it five likes I would.
So easy to follow. I love the way you say “ won’t touch that one in this video” as if it will be distracting from what the video is about.
No chat for half an hour to then take five minutes to explain what the video is about.
I watched the tour of your studio last night, found it quite funny with the outtakes at the end.
Thumbs up tk the best ten tips vid as well.
Just wondering if you are going to do any videos of any settings you can change to make the program run faster or smoother.
If you have then I have not found them lol
All the best and thanks for taking time to reach us all
I just realised that I am on work account, I am subbed on my own account tho
Thanks Steve. Appreciated and glad you enjoying my 'varied' content!! Id liek to get a few more vlogs in soon. Ive not done 'speed enhancements' as this is pretty well covered by others and most is fact as opposed to opinion so no point in me repeating really. All the best, and thank you for kind words! Darren
Thank you for this 🙏🏾
You are so welcome
That was fantastic, Thanks!!!
You're welcome Marcus. Thank you
Darren, thank you so much, this was super useful and just exactly the right level I was needing. Excellent work!
One question I was left with is how I might apply grades to an entire project and opposed to clip by clip as you showed, or to groups of clips. For instance if I have a number of interview clips, and a collection of indoor b-roll clips, and then maybe another collection of some outdoor clips. Is there a way I would apply a grade to all of these individual collections?
One minor suggestion is to remember to include the key/mouse combinations for Windows/PC users (like me!) if at all possible.
Thank you again and please keep up the great work, it is appreciated!
I am far from a pro but I'm sure you won't have the same light levels indoors and outdoors. The light levels ( I think) will affect your colours, hue and saturation, but I'm sure Darren will correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Marc. Yes, groups is the way to go with this, but use carefully as each shot will still need its own grade. Timeline grade allows you to grade entire sequence. Glad you like the channel, all the best, Darren
Very helpful video, thank you sir, I am subscribed
Thank you for the sub and welcome.
Beginner here...it really helped.
pleased to hear it!
Hello Darren! Could you please make a video about Color Management tab in setting and about Color Space Transform tool and comparing it to a LUT. As far as I understand, you should use either one before you start to do anything in Color page? Thank you!
Hello Aivo. Great suggestion. You should probably sign up to my email list - I am announcing important updates on their. Could be good for you i think. eepurl.com/hob0oH
@@DarrenMostyn Yes! I signed up. Your videos are great, keep it up!
Also would be nice for the beginner to understand the whole file and work structure in Resolve. Meaning, for example, what is cache folder and when to clean it, how to handle Media Offline, should media be run off from SSD or HDD and all that good stuff for beginners to give broader understanding how the system works. There's bits and pieces here and there but I haven't really found one comprehensive source that covers this topic.
Amazing tutorial. There is one persistent issue that I'm having. There's a prompt that says 'Cache update required' every time I create a new project. Do you know how to resolve this? Thanks for the fantastic video.
Great, have had DR16 for about a year now and always shyed away from the color tab, but this has really helped. Thanks
Glad it helped - edit and then colour in resolve, perfect combination. Thanks for watching the channel.
I can apply grades so i can copy these to other clips? That was mindblowing. i'm still for a year in DaVinci and its fantastic, how deep it is - Thank you - subscribed !
Thank you appreciate your subscription and welcome!! Have a good weekend.
Great lesson, very informative for beginners ☝
I would like something for a high level, with video format BRAW!
I look forward to your lessons!
Thank you so much ジ
Noted. thank you, darren
This was really helpful 👍
I'm so glad!
great tutorials thanks
Glad you like them!
Thanks Darren, this is super helpful. Had to watch it three times. Took notes on the third :) - Is color grading a clip from the media page a thing? As a way to take an entire clip and apply a look to it for then editing in later?
No just helps speed up my workflow using media page but not a requirement.
Smashing Vidio gave me so much LIFT and loads to GAIN from this 😉 brilliant Dazza.....
Glad you enjoyed it Milly
Thank you Darren keep up with the videos at this level of experience, please. I love your teaching and explaining techniques. I do have a question what are the blue symbols underneath the green symbols on the sides of the nodes on the node tree? thanks Jeremy
Thanks Jeremy. The blue symbols are key inputs and outputs. Thats why they are not part of this tutorial. Another time! All the best, Darren.
You are the best UA-cam secret channel !!! Awesome awesome awesome excellent tips and tutorials!! Your channel will be huge one day Darren!! You are pretty much the best ive seen.
Any chance you could do a tutorial with delivering a job with the best quality for a client and best settings for vimeo or UA-cam? Im going to delivery a wedding film on a pen drive ( UA-cam compression dosent help much quality) thank you very much!! Awesome awesome channel!!!
