    As a newbie to Resolve and a person who does not want to get involved in all the complex color grading work but want a nice graded look, I loved this tutorial. I will keep coming back to this video until I memorise everything! Cheers mate!

      @@flexpressionlove your video but this isn’t a video for an absolute beginner. You should do a video for an absolute beginner like when you started color grading with 0.00 knowledge on where to start from and you wished someone would’ve walked you through like when you’re teaching a child the alphabet.

      I’m an absolute beginner & I can just about keep up. But it’s a much better video than a lot of other ones I’ve seen.
      Now iPhone 15 pro is getting Log used by more amateurs, I very basic/basics video would go down great. An idiots guide, if you will.
      Go slow, talk slow, explain everything & I think you’d do even better

    If you change your CST to Cineon Film before the LUT, rather than gamma 2.4 it will improve your footage dramatically.

    This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 6 months ago about self development. Now I have 347 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.

      I realized that the main reason for doing this is not about the success but the inspiration I've been providing some people with my stories while helping others do the same as I shared the lessons & experiences through making videos to have a sense of meaningful purpose. Therefore, I’m planning to quit nursing to pursue youtube full time as there are lots of issues in our traditional health systems as these don’t align with my values. It’s a huge learning curve but I love helping people through making videos.
      Also, as part of my video creation progress, I’m switching to a better editing software and a camera so the learning curve is much higher and slows down the completion speed of my next videos so please hang on tight! I do appreciate your support and kind words! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
