The more i study the more i see simple adjustments like this doing so much. I think im becoming a node tree minimalist!
What you are teaching is "display referred" color grading. "Scene Referred" you would respect the mid grey level of exposure.
You'll get a more consistent result by setting the exposure of middle grey and doing the contrast with that level as the pivot in your curve. Your technique shown here is how we did color grading for many years, but there are problems with ignoring the photographic intentions.
I think if you work with lots of DPs, that you'll find that this technique can have you do beautiful grades, but the DP may have totally different intentions and you will lose work down the road.
A standard question is where did the DP set the exposure? - if they intended it to be brought up or down for any reason, they'll inform you of it being 1 stop over, or 1 stop under etc. , and the reason for doing so.
You also might be able to work a lot faster when the pivot and contrast is set to a locked exposure.
A good DP will not be all over the place these days, and that alone is one of the reasons that people IMO should respect the intentions of the photography.
Curves, at that stage should have the pivot locked down before applying contrast.
Using editable splines does make a nice smooth curve, but pushing it up and down and saying that the contrast is in the middle is in actuality moving the exposure up and down.
This technique is pretty rad, will be playing around with it for sure
This has totally changed my color grading philosophy. Everything that favorises minimalism in a good way is always welcome for me
Great video, love the simplicity and how powerful it is!
Your new method is just about 100% of what I do with my color grades, CST node at the beginning and end, contrast/saturation node, balance node and a glow node in the middle, and NR added to the beginning of all if needed. Good job, thanks for sharing!
Ufff pretty nice, thank you, I knew that technique but didn’t actually test it enough to get those results. BTW there is actually a difference between de sat on the primaries and the hdr sat, the one in the primary wheels increases the luminance, whereas the one in the hdr wheels does the that much and it’s more pleasing
Thanks man! Your videos help a lot and I like the way you present things...keep doing more
You could reduce the gain of the node so the adjustments aren't so sensitive
Oh I like that
Fantastic new skill, thanks!
this looks sick! gonna have to try this out
This is so beautiful and amazing
Cool. Will give it a go! 😉
Than you for sharing. This is so interesting and looks really effective
Thank you❤
Great video!
thank you so much
Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really nice. I tend to do a very similar curve but it's between my exposure and balance nodes (but numbered #3 so I can jump between exposure and balance easily). I may try editable spline again though now. 👏
extreme helpfull
Hey man really good tips. You ever do contrast by using a Matt adding the glow effect ?
Gold Brother Tutorial thanks

Well that gets a subscribe for sure.
So, where does LUTs come in, incase we want to use them? I mean, where do I put it in the node tree?
I'm curious if this technique works well across many clips. A look like this would seem to be taking the place of a LUT. I like using luts as a starting point and working around them to create ease in consistency across shots. What do you think about this for workflow across shots? Finessing every clip + all the other work (sometimes that last 10% is a lot) seems like it could take more time. What's your experience though? Very curious to try it just because it looks fun and easy to get exact looks I want.
If you see another videos from runhaar, you'll check it out that he uses luts at the end of node tree, not before, combined with CST nodes (before doing any primaries). Even tho, not all clips are exposed correctly for your LUT, so it is better (on my experience, not neccesary is to be good at) balance your clips and then, giving a LUT after all.
Why do you use CST? Isnt it easier to just set it at the clip menu?
im new to editing and learning on premiere can you color grade like this on there?
Premiere doesn't have the node structure, but you may be able to get similar effects with layers, you could export xml from Premiere and grade in free version of resolve though
@@TimelyAdventure cool thank you for the tip
If your last node is rec709, arent you viewing in rec709 when you make your adjustments?
You are always viewing your work in rec709 and then adjusting the color in the raw/log format.
@@runhaar1so why the extra step to wide gamut?
Why don't you make good use of the RAW tab? 75% of what you're doing could be done before doing anything else.
One thing I use is the highlight recovery. This just does magic with the example you've shown in the 2nd one
Would have liked to see rhis trick done with "normal" prores footage or even those dreadful iPhone clips that everyone use and think they have great footage.
As soon a you said Blackmagic and didn't even go in the Raw tab .. you just lost my attention
You have tattoos. I see them. On your arms.
