This is truly THE BEST tutorial out there covering so many bases in just 20 minutes time! Love how you tackle so many effects and tools + explaining WHY you use them!
About 30% of my work is dedicated coloring and I can say these are the exact same steps i’ve ended up doing apart and searete from your guides, distilled after years and hours and hours of grading. Nice work Qazi your work and break downs are legit and folks are lucky to have them!
Unreal, this video info could bring in $500 class sittings for serious intermediate, beginner or pro's who are comfortable not experimentalists. I am blown completely away! Texture!!
Holly wacamolly, I am already in a next level by just watching this video. I love it how you give actually valuable tips and explain things so we know what you are doing. This is something most of the videos out there al lacking.
Qazi, hope everything is going great man. Just wanted to thank you for the time you put in these videos. Cause of you Im changing to resolve from FCPX. The color grade just makes more sense in resolve and the way you explain things just makes more sense to me. I will be buying your course for sure. Thanks alot Qaz.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom - so much valuable tips and I liked especially your method to push the image more into a vintage vibe. Have a good day brother!
You remind me a lot of Andrew Kramer from VC.. Not only showing what you are doing but explaining the parameters and how it affects your image. Well done!
Hey Qazi! Great stuff as always. I work as an editor at a marketing agency in the UK and thanks to you I'm learning the skills to take our post-production to completely new levels! Totally fallen in love with grading and hoping to get the company to go in on your masterclass at some point in the near future :p
Thanks. Could you do a video that shows maybe a more quick and dirty version, like maybe lut preceded by 3 nodes. You just want to get log to something nice without a huge deep dive. ?
I had a recent project where I filmed an outdoor event. The footage wasn't the best quality because of the up-tempo pace of the shoot. The first four nodes helped me balance the footage in a major way. Thanks for the lesson.
Loved the Midtone focus thing you did! It really was interesting! and the glow effect color to add the grunge and age to the film was awesome! Loved it!
I wish I could like this video more than once! Maybe could we get sample footage so we can go along and edit with you as you're explaining the video, also could you go over how the footage would look like if you were to put CST at first compared to your preferred way.
Awesome like always 👌👌more than learning new stuff i always love to watch the same vids over n over in your channel. Make me feel so confident n comfortable n never bored.
Hi bro, listen you are just talented in levels, you have helped me a lot it is impossible to describe how much, I continue to follow and learn, by the way you have a greeting from Israel
That was amazing and super simple oh my god. Thank you for sharing this - I will now be waaaay better in grading and the plus is - I will be faster. Thanks so much!
I am student right now. Just trying to invest in some gears to be able to create videos and run DR in my PC . Then i will be able to get your courses🙏 really love your way of teaching. I am really excited to learn with you😊💯
step 1: buy an Arri Alexa. Curious if you can reach similar results with an 8-bit camera. Or is RAW a precondition? And if you can reach it with lower-end camera's, please show how. Thank you for sharing.
Great tutorial....But the look of rec.709 and the look you created are same,(I mean the rec.709 has that warm tint which you created after balancing), then what's the use of balancing the footage??? 🤔🤔🤔
It will helps you in shot matching... if you did it this way then it doesn't matter that lighting change or little color change you always have a consistent look
It's not the same at all. If you followed the Tutorial than you noticed how's much yellow tinge we were able to remove from the footage and then built our look on top of it. Grading is all about subtilities not necessarily broad strokes.
I got a question. The final result was looking a lot like when it was shot on set (obviously had more texture and contrast). Is it then really necessary for the base grade where you neutralize everything that was in the original image, justt to bring it back in the "look".
So do I understand right: if I have 70 clips, diffrent locations/lightings, I need to make the basic grading in every clip, even if the scenes are in the same location? What thumbnail should I take as a reference from the clip? The most bright/colourfull one?
I saw your whole interview with the colorist who did "Dark" show and he mentioned working with texture there, so I been doing what you did here. Nice to see that and was surprised how far you pushed the midtones there and I usually blur image with midtones, that way it blends in nicely with the sharpen window, I think blurring with the bars might not blend well with midtone sharpening cause it just hits it a little different.
You thinking and seeing it done are two different things. It obviously worked as you can see it in the finished grade and also the entire last part is about experimentation that is more than thinking. Get out of that analysis paralysis and try sh** for yourself to see what does and doesn't work. Stay Possessed 💪🏾
Man please settle this for once: On which node should we apply CST, the first node or the last node or somewhere in the center? And if all options are correct then in what scenarios should we apply in first, last aur middle node?
@@yungdaddydk Having CST at the end is not a good way to work. You do your primary exposure adjustments and color balance prior CST and then, for everything else, you work after CST. Prior CST the image is too flat to have a proper qualify or a good seperation between high, mids and lows.
Having a working grasp of any art, craft or artisan skill is relatively straightforward. However, bringing nuance to your skill is something that can take decades. One way to expand a limited appreciation of digital video and still image grading is to look at the history of Western, Asian and Arabic art. This wonderous cultural history can make current mainstream film colour grading by comparison seem limited and repetitive.
One question, do you use a different correction system in the same production depending on the clip you are editing? I see other videos of yours where you explain color correction by increasing saturation and then grading with curves and now in this image you use a different system, would it be good to know different correction systems to choose the one that best suits the type of clip? is this common?
Please try to continue this series “Things I wish knew about color grading when I started”

hey, I was wondering. Couldn't you have done the first two nodes in one node because the ultimate goal was just to balance out the image?
