    In this video I explain what kind of Node Tree you can use for every project in Davinci Resolve
    Before you start a project it's super important getting a good node tree in place to give your project structure.

    IMPORTANT - You can create your look inside of the CST's (add a serial node before the last CST). It will give you more flexibility as you are working in the DWG colorspace. If you do it after the second CST (rec 709), you can only make minor adjustments as you'll be working in a smaller colorspace.
    Also - Best to put the "Texture Node" in a serial and not in a parallel.

      you gotta change to Cineon Film Log though before the LUT, right? regulating the gain of the LUT is weird though because with or with the compound node, it behaves overly strange...

    • @runhaar1
      @runhaar1  Рік тому +7

      @@hannestell If you use the davinci LUTS yeah. You should check out Cullen Kelly's channel. I think he made a Kodak 2838 LUT that has a DWG input and output. (free download). So you just chuck it on a node in between your cst's

    • @nikilragav
      @nikilragav 10 місяців тому

      yea it was weird why you added the look after clipping down to 709. Might as well do the 709 LUT only once so you don't accidentally throw away data that could have been useful (e.g. highlights)
