Subbed cause within the first minute you just absolutely nailed it. Showing the CST settings made such a massive difference, I just know the rest of the video is going to be amazing.
Hi Danny! I am new to grading in DaVinci Resolve, can you tell me where I can find some links or books to understand all these rings? I mean how to understand what you'll gonna change with Gain, Lift etc. Many thanks!
I also have a Mavic 2 pro, in the CST that input setup is not ok as our drone uses D-Log M which is not D-Log. I am experimenting with the official LUT and CSTs, first node rec709/rec709 -> davinci intermediete Last node: rec709/rec709-A (as I am on mac)
Could you convert this from DLOG-M to an HDR REC 2020 profile? I’m able to do it, but the issue is that the video always ends up with 8-bit depth instead of 10-bit. I have an HDR-compatible screen, and HDR is enabled in my system. I can’t understand why it’s not coming out in 10-bit color depth. I’d really appreciate your help, and thank you for the excellent video.
I'm using DJI Mini 4 Pro. I have D-Log M instead DJI D-Log. I think i can't use color space transform part, bcs it doesn't have a DJI D-Log M which is not same DJI D-Log. Can i use directly Mini 4 Pro LUT that is given on official DJI website..
Hi Danny, thank you for this video ! You appear just on time cause I was working on editing drone footage that I shot in Lanzarote ! You have a new subscriber ! Peace Charles
Hello! When i try to change color space from dji d-gamut/dlog to rec704/g2.4 my image becomes super oversaturated and dark - do you know why that happens? 😅
Great tutorial thanks. One question; Does all D-Log footage from different DJI devices behave the same? I have the Action 4, so I take it if I follow your instructions this will apply to the footage as it is all D-Log? I ask, as I downloaded the DJI standard Rec709 conversion LUT and it is SO saturated and contrast heavy I wanted to make my own.
Hello Danny, I followed the professional LUTs and settings you provided. However, the colors in my DJI Pocket 2 videos are turning excessively blue. It's challenging to adjust this strong blue tint. The videos were shot against the sun with a lot of blue tones, but the issue is not as severe when I use the color space transform node in the settings. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts on how to address this color imbalance effectively? Kind regards Eric
Hi Danny, for me as a DJI mini 3 pro user it would be very interesting to see you do a grade d-cinelike footage as there is no cst profile for that which makes me struggle with it every time. Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing this. The fake sunset part is amazing! Could you please make a DJI HLG color grading tutorial ? (and please show what your project setting about color space is )
Good question, I realised I left out my color management settings. I've set my timeline: Davinci Wide Gamut and Output: REC709A because I'm grading on a Mac
how can i downlead the footage so i can do the tutorial step by step. when i try to download its not video its timecode something that i don't understood
Hey danny, are you more into Vibrant Grading or it depends? Your grading aesthetic is very similar to mines because I'm more into vibrant colors mixed with that Kodak Film look. Feels refreshing having to watch the way you grade!
Call me crazy but I believe the Mavic 2 Pro uses D-LOG-M not full D-LOG. This means thete is no appropriate gamma available in the Color Space Transform module in Resolve.
The colors in D-log is much flatter than D-log M. D-log has more dynamic range than D-log M but it takes time and effort to color grade it than D-log M, it is also use by professional editors. Since D-log M is not that flatter which makes it good for beginners to color grade it. The third after D-log M is the D-Cinelike which is less flatter than D-log M. I prefer the D-Cinelike since it retains more color which makes it easier to color grade and it looks more vivid ans dreamy yet still looking realistic.
D Log M simpler to grade like they saying and if you don’t know how to you can make footage worse or unusable even play with both and see for yourself too.
Your noise reduction should come first....also you should have 2 CST's one at the very front that is dlog to davinci wide gamut/davinci intermediate and another CST at the end that is DWG/Davinci intermediate to rec 709 gamma 2.4 And you do all your grading in the middle of these....this allows you to work in the davinci color space which is much wider
Thanks for your input, some of what you commented is somewhat true. 1. Noise reduction should only be in the front if you find it advantageous to render cache. I've tested the outcome for front and back, putting it at the back seems more non-destructive. Watch my tests here ua-cam.com/video/8lrNSbnJVek/v-deo.htmlsi=cxF-vh6Y6o0B-i3y 2. You don't HAVE to use DWG all the time. This is a video more for beginners, so I don't see the need to jump into DWG. And DWG is not used because "it is a wider colour space". That is one of the characteriestics of DWG, not the end use of it. Because it is a wider colour space, it can cointain all other log colour spaces. But the main purpose of DWG is to apply the same adjustments to footage from multiple camera log profiles more conveniently by working in DWG.
this has got to be the most comprehensive color grading video i have ever seen. Thank you so much for this. Super helpful!
Just now getting into editing and really thankful for this tutorial. Cheers!

Thanks! Glad you liked it. 😊
Wonderful tutorial, thanks Danny.
man. youre the best. others just chat and stop showing. i dont even know what theyre talking about. but this is sublime! 👍👍👍👍
Appreciate it bud!
Thank you very much for your tutorial. Straight to the point. You know what your are doing and everything is clear as crystal ! 👏

A big thank you for this amazing tutorial ! Thanks to your video I have an amazing result and sublime pictures. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Danny! this was very insightful.
Super helpful Danny

I am experimenting with the official LUT and CSTs, first node rec709/rec709 -> davinci intermediete Last node: rec709/rec709-A (as I am on mac)
Yes, that would be fine 👍🏻

Do you have a video showing how to edit from a to z with dji d log?
Im new with dji drone and davinci
Amazing! This is how good tutorial should look like.
Bro! Damn! This color grading is so amazing!
I'm using DJI Mini 4 Pro. I have D-Log M instead DJI D-Log. I think i can't use color space transform part, bcs it doesn't have a DJI D-Log M which is not same DJI D-Log. Can i use directly Mini 4 Pro LUT that is given on official DJI website..
Yes, you can do that.
D-Log M is just a lower contrast rec.709, so you don’t need a conversion LUT
@@DannyGan so Color space transform like you did or DJI official LUT ?
Official LUT
So does that Color Space Transform essentially replace having to use a LUT? That is confusing to me kind of still newer to Resolve.
Yes, there are 3 ways you can do colour management.
1. LUT
2. Color Space Transform
3. DaVinci Color Managed
Each has their own pros and cons
@@DannyGan hmmm so u wouldn't use both a LUT and Color Transform for example though?
THX man, slow and clear, easy to understand !
Thank you, very good instruction. I liked and subscribed.
The CST setting with work for MAC too, we don't need to input REC 709A?
I set my Project Management > Color Management > Output Color Space: Rec709-A
Hey just curious, why have all of your corrections in different nodes ? Is it just for organization or will it affect the outcome
How can I delete points in curves on iPad. I am not using a keyboard or mouse. Just the pen
Not able to load the clip in color tab , even though i have created and imported my project and media files not able to see the clip in color tab.
Maybe you’re on the free version of resolve?
I’m completely new to grading and this was easy to follow. Thanks ! Subbed.

Hello! When i try to change color space from dji d-gamut/dlog to rec704/g2.4 my image becomes super oversaturated and dark - do you know why that happens? 😅
Maybe your footage is not D-Log?
D-Log M is not the same as proper D-Log
Subbed! you get straight to the point. others keep yapping lol
Great tutorial thanks. One question; Does all D-Log footage from different DJI devices behave the same?

I ask, as I downloaded the DJI standard Rec709 conversion LUT and it is SO saturated and contrast heavy I wanted to make my own.
There is D-Log and D-LogM, you can also use teh appropriate LUT for your device.
@@DannyGan great and thank you !
Awesome tutorial! I'll going to try it! Thanks!
Great video bro!! Did you use an ND filter for this? If you did, which one?
I’m not sure, but if I did it is the Peter Mckinnon x Polar Pro ones
it sucks that temporal threshold under motion effects for the noise reduction is locked behind the paywall lol. extremely helpful video anyways.

Sorry I'm not very clear about your issue, please simplify it slightly.
Hi Danny,

Thank you very much!
Feel free to send me some footage to have a look!

You are the f***** GOAT, nice video my drone footage looks amazing now, thanks to you.
Hey, would it be the same process for DLog-M on Mini 4 pro?
Amazing tutorial
Nice pipeline and sunset thing very creative:) Like!
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you know why when I add the CST on my D-Log M footage, it becomes over exposed and extremely over saturated?
Because D-Log M is not actual Log. It’s just Rec.709. Try getting the manufacturer’s LUT from their website for colour management 😊
@@DannyGan Thanks for the response! I will give that shot, i am new to this so i might be doing something wrong as well. Your video was amazing btw
Really awesome thank you!
Hey Danny, how do I choose which Output Gamma to use? If I'm using the macbook, isn't the rec.709-A the best?
Yes, you can do it on the node level or the project level which I have
Im new to davinci and I have no idea about all the color stuff lol, well done
Nodes still confuse the F%$K our]t of me. 😂
Can the same be done for osmo action cameras?
I'm not sure if it has D-Log. Just be aware D-Log M is a different color profile.
Thank you for sharing this. The fake sunset part is amazing! Could you please make a DJI HLG color grading tutorial ? (and please show what your project setting about color space is )
Good question, I realised I left out my color management settings. I've set my timeline: Davinci Wide Gamut and Output: REC709A because I'm grading on a Mac
@@DannyGan Thanks a lot😄
다빈치리졸브에서 Dji D-Gamut과 DJI D-Log를 언제부터 지원했는지 혹시 아시나요?
아니 언제인지 잘 모르겠어
@@DannyGan 답변해주셔서 감사합니다.
Wow! Thanks man!
Do we need a paid DaVinci Resolve version for this?
For the effect, no. For it to read 10-bit footage, yes.
Why does my footage look nothing like this? its all grey when I apply the gamma 2.4
It should look the same with the settings applied in the video, so far no issue with that
Thank you soo much. This is so cool.
which drone was this shot on?
DJI Mavic 2 Pro
Are these steps the same for wanting to color grade d log m footage from Osmo pocket 3?
I think d log m is not a proper log profile, it's more of a low-contrast rec709
Can you make a video on it?
Would also love a video grading pocket 3 d-log m footage!
Hey will this work with thr dji osmo pocket 3?
If the colour profile is the same, it should work
thank you so much!
I love it It's so goood
I get a 'Media Offline' issue when I upload my D-Log footage. Any tips? (I've searched and seen a lot of fixes on YT, but no joy so far)
Try reopening Resolve, it does happen sometimes. If that's not the case, then maybe your files has been corrupted.
If you have recorded in h264 then you will need the studio version or that is the problem
how can i downlead the footage so i can do the tutorial step by step. when i try to download its not video its timecode something that i don't understood
Click on the 3 dots on your top right
Does it work with the free version of davinci?
Mostly, yes.
Hey danny, are you more into Vibrant Grading or it depends? Your grading aesthetic is very similar to mines because I'm more into vibrant colors mixed with that Kodak Film look. Feels refreshing having to watch the way you grade!
yes I do like sharp rich colours in my grades, more western looks
Call me crazy but I believe the Mavic 2 Pro uses D-LOG-M not full D-LOG. This means thete is no appropriate gamma available in the Color Space Transform module in Resolve.
I don’t think so, I have drones with both profiles and the M2Pro definitely shoots in DJI D-LOG
Nice, thanks!
how would i apply luts to my dlog footage?
just double click the lut while selecting a node
hi danny ,hatur nuhun elmuna. mangpaat pisun!
Very good. Very useful.
Does this work with D-Log M as well?
Good question
Grat Video
Whats the difference between DJI D-Log and DJI DLogM ?
The colors in D-log is much flatter than D-log M. D-log has more dynamic range than D-log M but it takes time and effort to color grade it than D-log M, it is also use by professional editors.

@DannyGan ok I guess that makes sense....I've just become so accustomed to working in DWG, but I guess it isn't really a law that has to be followed
No worries man! Everyone has their own workflow, just make sure that you workflow is right for your needs 🙌🏻
is this good for dji action 2 in d-cinelike ?
