"Tonal Contrast" and Shot Matching, where do they go in the node graph pipeline? Davinci Resolve
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лип 2024
- I'm starting a new series of videos focused on getting your questions answered! In this video we discuss tonal contrast, sometimes called creative contrast and where it belongs in your color grading pipeline. We also discuss shot matching and how tonal contrast integrates with linear contrast when look at shots on a clip by clip basis. That said, when setting a high level look I do really like using external tools like DCTLs and plugins to help generate a nice clear curve with controllable roll-offs. I would encourage you to experiment around to find your favorite! These techniques work in Davinci Resolve 19 as well as previous versions. Make sure to check out my free resource page below for the additional learning mentioned in the video!

Let me know if you like this format! I'll make more of them in the future if so
Appreciate for the answers.
Thank you very much
I hope this series will continue, cause this format is very helpful
Sure thing!
I hope in the future you can share us the how you shotmatch multiple clips with different brightness and contrast, relative to creative contrast in the timeline nodes.
(Sorry if I my word a little confusing, not a native English speaker)
That format of the video is so helpful
Great!
Hey there really good job you are doin here. There are a lot of great color tutorials online and I almost watched all but one thing is lacking big time. A really good series of shot matching. There are some cullen and darren did but I never found them good enough to show a pro colorist approach. I would expect something like this from your channel. Thx for great stuff!
Thanks for the suggestion! I like that idea 👍🏻
Great info!
Love the content.
Definitely inspired by Cullen Kelly knowledge i guess
Thanks Anton!
Also, I had this question in my mind... say you have a bunch of clips and you're creating a certain look for the entire project at the timeline level. Do you first fix all your clips in terms of exposure and balance etc and then create the look, OR create the look first and then go on a clip by clip basis and do the necessary adjustments?
Ideally, set the macro look first, then do corrections
@@BarrettKaufman Gotcha! Thanks...
Awesome video man we would all love to see what kaurh taught you I seen your IG story share with the class
💯 Oh yeah, I'll totally do something about it
❤
Unsure if they're called step charts, but would love a tutorial on how to make them in Resolve, like you have here for DWG middle grey, but for other mid gray like Slog3, Log c3/c4, etc.
Cool! You may have already seen it, but the DWG image I use is available on my free resource page
To make your own, the info can often be found by reading the white paper for your log flavor and adding a grey patch that matches their specs
@@BarrettKaufmanI did see that. Thanks for the resource! I'm just still confused how to physically do that in resolve.
What is the right order of nodes ? and using a creative lut
The order of nodes is often quite subjective, but a general rule of thumb for Creative LUTs is they go at the end before your output display transform
which DCTLs/Plugins would you recommend to create a "creative contrast"? BTW Thanks for dropping yet another helpful video.
There are quite a few options, and IMO there isn't one perfect tool. But here's a list to start looking for DCTLs:
*Kaur Hendrickson
*PixelTools
*Mononodes
*Github (many creators)
@@BarrettKaufman Thanks a lot Barrett!!
I know this is a huge can of worms and the right way to proceed is by getting a professional grading monitor. However, I hope there's an approximation and one can use the display presets through Mac OS system preferences. Would this even come close to being useful esp for delivering to a film festival? I know a lot of folks are struggling with this issue. A video on this would be great.
Here's one way of looking at it, the rate we charge should reflect the service we provide. If it's a passion project being done for free, a lot can be forgiven. If we are charging clients, they expect a level of accuracy that we need to provide with the right gear
Contrast is a big struggle for me - as it's hard to finesse. Either it gets too contrasty or gets too washed out. I then have to struggle through other ways to make it appear close to where I want it to go. Is there any way to be exact about contrast?
The best way I've found it to look at DCTLs or plugins. I'm just never 100% happy with my creative contrast using native Resolve tools
Look for parameterization like sliders
@@BarrettKaufman Any recommendations for these DCTLs or plugins?
