"Once your grade is done ... and your wig is on", now I know why my color grading never worked properly.
arguably the best davinci resolve video i ever seen on youtube so far!
Yes that is arguable 😂
It's like getting a flying lesson from a penguin
😂😂😂😂😂😂
bruh
Stahp! He pretty much nailed it.
“I never grade; I never artistically add color…..actually I do!” 😂😂😂
How can we see your work?
Instructions unclear, my footage still looks like hot lava and I locked myself in the shed.
Never imagined that colour correction would make me laugh.
I think I'll need to rewatch this several times to totally understand. You're a great teacher, but you make it look so easy to us beginners. At least you're super cute, so it's easy to rewatch!
OMG publish those settings for the red eyeballs!
In times when our world seems completely nuts, watching Casey's random, off the wall commentary is almost like cleansing your palate between courses when eating a seven course meal. (That probably made no sense)
I have found getting the white balance IN CAMERA helps sooo much when grading footage (RAW may be a different story). Still use a gray card in-shot for post and while you are there, sprinkle in some curve, sharpening and halation and CST to rec709 and boy it's soo easy and good. Prior to this I always had problems getting the colours right, in camera WB fixed it for me. and this is setting WB on a canon (the worst!!).
Make more DaVinci Reslove videos! Please. This was very useful.
1:11 “two blights for the win”
zombie color grading is an underrated skill in 2024.
My wife is now watching with me, she says your videos cheer her up even though she doesn't really care about cameras 😂
13:42 is where it looks best, not too green like your last node made it.
At 10:27 the Sony looks amazing. That's about as good as it gets. So the A7Siii is the perfect camera with terrible colour science to be overcome by software.
That last bit with Sony Standard (14:26 right side of screen) actually looked pretty good to me. If you push in a little less contrast, or set the in-camera contrast a bit lower(?), I think that's pretty usable.
Color correcting and color grading is important, yes.
But let's not forget to mention (hardly any channel does) you need to use a good monitor to do it right, preferably a calibrated one.
Correction and grading on a bad monitor still makes a film look bad ;-)
Thanks again for your video, 'inside' videos are always good
You have pointed out the KEY that a professionally calibrated monitor is the most important for posters.
Your viewers don't have a professionally calibrated monitor or 500 dollar headphones so it is pointless to optimize your av to them. They have a cell phone or laptop, and tinny speakers and they misadjusted their bass and treble.
@@LTPottenger Maybe some of the CC audience wont have it no, but plenty do have the proper hardware so it is worth it.
Anyways, this channel is all about photography and fliming, color correction and grading is part of that. Not pointless!
@@LTPottenger yeah I used to think like that too until I realized that we creators cannot control on what device ppl will watch stuff. But we can do our best at providing something that looks accurate enough so that our adaptive vision can fix it. This way it's less off looking and closer to how we intended it to look like for the majority of people.
But honestly. most screens are pretty good nowadays. a few years ago it was awfull with laptops having a very strong blue tone. But if I look at phones and screens today they look very natural.
Now please make your Sony-to-Canon color LUT a Lightroom Profile, and I'll buy it! :)
Premier Pro is going pretty good now with "Auto" for color grading. But if I want punched up color i use the VV color profile.
This is not color grading but color correction for all intents and purposes. Color grading is an art form for enhancing the emotional tone of a scripted scene. 🤭
I need a faster NPU... for Topaz, obviously.
Which Phantom LUT did try?
The Neutral and Tungsten are very nice.
The haze filter murdered the micro contrast immediately. It looked like my internet got dropped to 360p. I wiped my phone screen just to check if it was greasy fingerprints making it worse. 3D pop and edge contrast is better than blooming lights.
Thanks Casey,,, that was perfect,,,, once in a while we need some deep knowledge and NOT boring... good on ya mate...learned a lot...
I've been experimenting with my A 6700 using the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 and the xrite photo and video color checkers and found the Datacolor to be better.
I'm Cinematch all the way too! 🙌
Awks I liked the phantom LUT lol
Not even here for the instructions, just for the humor. 😁
Log is the best!
This is way cheaper than buying a new T-shirt once it has begun to wash-out and lose its colors ;-)
Black mist does not crash a sony exposure or obliterate pop- either Zeiss or Sigma...the one that eludes you. The three magic distances are all you need to comprehend...and eyeballs during the test shot. Those critical distances are, in order of importance: focal length, distance to subject and distance from subject to background- once you see it, you'll never forget.
So my take aways are: you like to drag and drop, you want it to be a natural look, yet in a way where you are a movie.
I would love to make a Powergrade node tree for you that you drag and drop and you can tweak just the exposure and temperature and everything will be perfect Rec.709, skin tones would be at their proper saturation and exposure. You dont even have to use it, I just love color grading so I want to grade your stuff. ⚠(Also make sure you are over exposing at least 1+ stop if you are shooting in log)⚠
Edit- I wouldn't dare mess with your 3D pop. I would enhance that beautiful 50mm 1.4
My mama's she shed is going to be the perfect spot for my new youtube channel.
You ahould do an episode of every camera's standard picture profile and pick the same color temp for all.
Well, no wonder this was all wrong for me, no wig! This stuff still makes me crazy. Just seems so much more complicated than still image editing. I think I'll stick with Eterna..... LOL! Thanks for this tutorial, have a rockin' weekend.
I have absolutely no interest in vloging but your channel is No1 on my watch list.
if all you do is drag and drop a lut. essentially you can shoot in camera with this "final look" already baked in
Frankly. For in the studio. The Sony Standard profile properly exposed at the end actually looked the best out of everything you showed. I have both Sony and Canon. If it’s not a high dynamic range scene. I just shoot in their Rec 709 profiles. They look good to go.
Sony standard is better than I was expecting, I see nothing wrong with it.
The last shot looks good
Not the green one
Please make a tutorial about all the new functions of davinci resolve 19 as there are hardly any these days. Thanks bro!
Eey sick, featured in a camera conspiracies vid ✨
But to clarify, you apply a color space transform at the start of the grade, from s-log3 to davinci wide gamut and at the end of the grade from davinci wide gamut to Rec709. All your grading is done in the nodes between those 2 nodes.
So the 2 color space transform nodes are what give you the solid base and then you can adjust to taste in between.
Also the vectorscope has a skin tone line that you can turn on so you can adjust your skin tone color to a standard 👌🏼
Did the Hulk make an appearance at the end of the video, Hulk smash Luts😂👍💚
I bought an EM10-IV last week and realized they crippled the focus stacking feature so you can only take 8 shots instead of up to 99 shots on my previous EM10-II.
I thought about you Kasey - Canon isn't the only manufacturer that employs the Cripple Hammer.
Please do an Olympus marketing meeting.
My genre indeed sucks. Devastating.
I don't understand what your problem is with your results, in my opinion everything looks perfect
You're great doing color grading. Do you think to shave your face? You will look way younger and helthier
try new davinci 19, color slice menu (nex to to curves) ... and play with skin tones column.
Try Density... it lower a bit skin brightnees and increases saturation (substractive saturation)
Welp! There goes my idea of single player board game channel! Back to the basement to think of a great idea again! Kasey, do you have these videos as training video on VHS? Would love to be able to watch them over and over again! In school I never did have good grades. I guess I never learned you could just drop and drag them over! Thanks for the entertaining and informative grading video! I am stuck with glimmer glass for every camera lens I own... I thought you endorsed them! 😭
that last standard shot looke dthe best!
We love you. You grade like a photographer. A photographer that is trying to escape the wrath of God. We need a meeting about this,,, lol
Oh my god that intro so funny 😆
At the end of the video you say you like the 'dragon drop' lut but I can't find it ANYWHERE! HELP!
Generally appreciate the looks you get from your grading, but I have to say - last comparison scene - Sony Standard definitely has the edge over Slog3 -- the green is gone......
So you NEVER shoot Canon Standard? What's Canon "Regular "?
The log deal breaker for me is i always shoot in low light, and my log always has so much more noise than flat or standard modes. My videos are over a hour long so doing ANY type of noise reduction makes my render times ridonculous... Any tips? I shoot on GH6 9mm 1.7T
One tip you might enjoy as to sort of balance the saturation is to go to the sat v sat bar and bring the left side up a bit. Makes the least saturated part have a bit more. Adjust to your liking! But yeah hue v hue is where it’s at for controlling skin tone, just gotta stay away from where the lips sit otherwise they start looking funky.
I use the “plug into wall power” LUT so my battery doesn’t die in the middle of a shoot.
This tilts me into oblivion. As a photographer that deals in strictly stills, why can I just have the same type of node based processing tools for my images as every video editing tool? Why can't I get waveforms and scopes in my cameras instead of just a basic average/luminosity histogram of the preview JPEG (or even maybe a live RGB histogram of said JPEG would be nice for color clipping if I can't get a vectorscope).
My fp L lets me use pretty much all the cine mode tools in stills mode, yet there are still other camera companies that won't even let stills modes use zebra stripes when they're available in the video mode. Then again, Sony charged for literally guidelines that can be made in camera for free with the fp L, so maybe asking for tools already in place to just be enabled is asking too much for some camera makers.
Gone are the pop-stoppers!
I'm not going to knock your process but traditionally you would have one lut per lens and camera combination. The lens affects the colours as much as the sensor does.
And why would I change the grade? I'm changing white balance with each new lens. If it looks off I make slight adjustments.
@@cameraconspiracies I have no objections. Your colours have been looking great recently.
I can’t wait for you to color grade your first horror film, the colors will be a villain, like for Sony.
The colour match 😂
Ooooh wait till you see what DaVinci 19 beta has to offer on skin tones …( and use the vectorscope)
11:23 I have a secret white balance hack: I use my beard or hair. Perfect 18% gray!
I wondered forever how Thomas Heaton got that very desaturated look to his videos. Turns out he shoots in Log and doesn't grade it at all! Try it sometime.
"It was cheap on Amazon"...50€. Why does a piece of cart board with some colors printed on it costs 50€? It's crazy
Oh that was unexpected. 0:35 8:45 14:45 , I expect someone make 3 LUT pack and make fortune selling it.
PP11 vs Your tweaks. Thats what id like to see
14:24 An over saturated halo around a bright light like the one on the bookshelf in the background is an error that occurs quite often when bright lights are in the frame. I know it can be fixed in post, but I don’t remember how. I think I saw an explanation in a video from Gerald Undone but I can’t find it anymore. Can anybody help?
Do you shoot in D-Log M on the Action 4? I'm presently in the middle of shooting my first video with the Action 4 and don't really want to mess with it until I'm done with this video. So I haven't tried D-Log M as of yet.
Thanks,
00:42 Autopsy Lut
Great
99.5% of UA-cam video using OP3 d log m to color grade are in wrong colors.
How do you do it correctly?
My VIXIA decides what colors it want to be shot to shot. I think it's an early form of AI or something but not a very good one....
*continues to be lazy and film in standard 10 bit colour like a filthy casual*
But seriously, thanks for the video, I'll consider grading my stuff soon.
On its own the graded Sony footage doesn't look too bad but when you showed the Canon next to it I audibly snorted lol
A shotgun mic now? What happened to the Oktava ?
I am colorblind can you give ne your r8 lut
Thank you for the information bro. But I'm a little discombobulated. Can I use that technique on my Sony Vegas 17 Pro editing program? I mean, will it work? Do you think? 🙄
Color grading is almost to the point of pixel peeping...
8:45 ‘a little extra funk’ LUT available on Patreon?🤣 ok I’ll leave
Not bad, but I think Sony Standard 14:23 looks better then your SLOG3 grade :D.
I think it looks terrible.
@@cameraconspiracies Looks more natural :D
The ungraded looks the best to me. Also, I am a blind liar with no computer. How am I typing this?
Didn't know that you apply grain lol
alt-shift c in davinci ... this is the way
I don't even care about color I'm just here for the comedic "Douchetuber" sarcasm vibes lol
can you do this video over again without the slapstick? im not sure what you want to do here. be a bad comic or be helpful?
The standard Sony colors at 100iso and 70% zebras that you called disgusting actually looked the best to me 😄
a grey card is for exposure not for wb; it may work thou because all three channels r g b should have same value
It works fine...
Ahh that explains it.
I was beginning to think we needed to start a gofundme campaign to help with your untreated jaundice.
Either that or it was Ikea LED bulbs that pretend yellow is white.
Once your grade is done and your wig is on....😂
I kept hearing dragon drop
When a guy is low key a genius but doesn't know it.
Solid advice.. 👍
Sony it's just doing fine... They only want to equal green goblin tone to all skins 😂
LOL Nailed it! >;D
I tried color grading Dlog. The stream ended up turquoise mission aborted.
Faster than copy and paste, on the colour page, just middle-mouse-click any graded clip and it will copy the grade over to the active one.
