Awesome! I watched this video a year ago, but I did not have enough knowledge to get it. Now, with more understanding of colors and grading I will try to build upon it. Again, you make the color balance a very important step in the beginning of your node tree - I need to put more attention on it. Thanks so much for sharing!
You said to take notes: taking notes and trying to create a cheat-sheet for oneself is a WONDEERFUL way to test whether one really got all the steps. And then one has the cheat-sheet for next time. Love it.
Some of the best grading tutorials you’ve ever made. Bravo 👏 Qazi. I will re watch this video many times later. It contains valuable info 😍. Thank you again.
Awesome video! You showing grain placement first on the node tree is very useful I never thought of that! It makes a lot of sense now that real film scans would have the grain before any work is done to it. Awesome tip
First of all I am I am subscribed in my too youtube accounts ! d what a surprise to see that you gradded a video clip of a Moroccan (my country) and who happens to have the same name as me ! Cant wait to enroll for your class!
Dude! Park it right there and keep using camera 🎥 terms in the DR interface!!! Love ❤️ the 1 stop analogy 👌… keep it up. That’s what I come here for . Value 💣’s!!!
Absolutely awesome. Curious if you could do a few video's on editing GoPro and/or DJI Drone footage adjustments (since, I suspect many-many people walk around shooting with those and I would love to see what is really possible (?) with these little cameras - versus what the pros. use. ) Thank you for these lessons learnt so far!
I have gone through your channel Top-notch content Please provide us with footage to follow along for complete beginners I will make your channel grow even faster than usual.
Why i get lucky everytime waqas does a free color grading webinar....like I attended all three of them....i came to know about them like half and hour ago...or 8min ago...the first one.....was 3 minutes left to start when I joined. Btw Thanks Waqas for these tutorials and free courses.....We are so thankful and grateful that you teach so much to us.
What do you do if your camera isn’t supported with color space transform? The issue regarding CST isn’t a problem for this tutorial, but in this case how it is used with the HDR palette is. Unfortunately since I don’t have a camera on that list it at least appears that I don’t have access to that tool just like I don’t have access to CST. Other than that, I really liked this tutorial. Because I am trying to change my thinking, and really understand the "why's" of color grading. So I very much appreciate your approach Waqas. And I really want to learn how to do film emulation "right". So both of those things are close to my heart. Thanks for all the work you’re doing in education in Resolve. Liked and commented.
If you are using Z Cam or Kinefinity, I heard that it would be fine by just using the ARRI sets, but if other than that... maybe you should start to use some main stream cine cams...
@@manchumuq main stream cameras as you call them don’t offer the same level of performance per dollar. To that end even what you’re calling mainstream isn’t necessarily supported on every NLE. Blackmagic RAW which is very popular for low budget users isn’t supported in FCPX. And ProRes raw which has 4 major brands including Sony and Panasonic behind it isn’t supported in Resolve. This is also not to mention things like the Mavic Pro or other commonly used drones as well as action cameras like GoPros that also don’t have CSTs. So, the idea that using a ‘’main stream cam” will somehow fix my problems is a gross misnomer unless you’re telling me I should just all of a sudden be able to dump $40k into an ARRI Alexa Mini and $20k into a flying platform for it, to get a solution that is ‘universally supported’ and be able to use multiple for all the scenarios I need a camera for. Saying: ‘buy something else’ is the most worthless advice. Frankly all of these types of problems are solved with money. Sure just give me a billion dollars and yeah I can have any and all camera and post production solutions I want. But here in the real world I actually have to live inside of limitations. Or is your implication that Resolve as an application isn’t capable of getting the job done without conforming to your idea of what a mainstream camera is? Because FWIW I’ve more or less figured out my own workflow after cobbling together what other people use as best practices. But frankly with all the tutorials geared a certain way most people don’t fit into the category of getting to use high end cameras or again use cameras that all have CSTs. Variety here would help. And asking for solutions makes a lot more sense then throwing money at the problem. Bottom line: Creativity, problem solving, and learning is the best solution. Money as a solution is the least creative and least useful as it’s dependent on how much of the finite resource you have. Whereas again creativity finds incentive solutions.
Hello Qazi this grade is awesome , please is this a color managed workflow? if yes , kindly tell us the color management settings...thanks a lot and keep up the goodwork
Thanks as always for clarifying the confusing. I'm trying to better understand group node workflows and would love to hear more on the subject. Also, is there a way to add an additional single node across all clips without affecting the existing node tree? For example, I've just realized that an entire project could use some additional sharpness- but I'm struggling to find a global solution. Thanks for your time and your timbre.
Probably the most subtle tutorial I’ve ever seen! Qazi, I got a question here. I am a MacBook Air user and I wonder why does my footage become darker and desaturated after delivering from davinci resolve? I sent it to my phone but it looked like rubbish😭.. Is that because of the MacBook’s color science? Is there any way to handle it? Thx so much Qazi.
thank you very much for your tutorial. just figuring out why mine is all super saturated and blown out after applying cineon film log then apply lut. please anyone have answer for this !! thank you very much (im using bmpcc4k ,film gen 4)
I have to admit I learnt a lot from this video. This will help take my grading up perhaps several notches. Thank you. One question, I see you mentioned Dehancer in passing which I use as well. What's the reason you use Dehancer over this technique or do you not? And yes, I finally subscribed. ;)
Hi Wakas. Extremely well-explained and informative tutorials. I’m a big fan. But for me, a nagging question keeps popping-up: for those of us, zero-budget, aspiring filmmakers with access to only entry level gears (ex.: Canon T7i, no log profile available, faking it with something like Prolost Flat), well, are we doomed from the beginning? I’m constantly wondering, what would a pro like you do (just for the sake of it), given those conditions? I’m sure you’d find a way to make any shot look good. I’d like to watch a tutorial explaining how to make the most out of what you have, even if you have nothing but the basic. Thanks.
Man !!! your tutorials are the best !!! but there is a problem ... how many of us have Mini Alexa or Red cameras ?? probably only 5% another 5-15% have canon c500 etc.. and the footage you work with is a footage with perfect light , perfect colour panel wich is no more than 3 main colours etc the footage you use its really easy to colour grade but for example in my case .. I am a canon R6 user and BMPCC4k and I am trying to colougrade the footage from my last music clip I made recently and basically following the steps is impossible with my footage there is no chance to get even similar results :) so is there any chance for affordable cameras footage colour grading tutorial please with random scenes ?? not with scenes all setup by 6 another teams for colour grading ??
thanks for the video! I saw that you have activated a function that shows the rgb indicators on the scops when you pass the eyedropper on the image. how can i turn it on?
I have a very important question, Waqas: what were your color management settings for this project before you started this (excellent) workflow. I’m assuming it wasn’t color managed. So do you work in Davinci wide Gamut? What are your Timeline and Output color spaces in the project settings. If I have either set to 709, everything is crushed. If I go to D|wide, everything opens up, but then what do I set in the CSTs that you show? Please help. And thanks.
I notice in most of his videos Qazi incorrectly says that he's pulling the saturation out of the highlights using the sat vs sat curves modifier. This is untrue. The right side (white) of the panel is the most saturated, not the brightest, so when you pull that down, you are reducing the saturation of the most saturated parts of the image.
Hey Waqas Can You please tell how you record the tutorial.....Like that You can paint on the screen to show what are you doing while recording.....like how you do that....just name the software or a quick small explanation would be helpful.
