Dude, holy heck. I've been struggling through tutorials where people blaze through the details and don't explain or show anything. Your video on the other hand is the clearest, most well taught tutorial I've come across. You are absolutely awesome and I can't wait to explore more of your videos!
I'm glad someone made a video on A7iii videomaking as its the only one I have and its 8 bit.. these days its mostly A7IV, A7SIII, FX3, FX30 with Slog 3 and S cinetone.....
Your teaching skills are on another level! Can't wait so see more. I learned more in this 10min than in the last month watching useless Davinci tutorials 😅 THANK YOU!!!
This is one of not The best video to show how davinci Works.. how to colourgrade slo2 (8-bit!!!!!) And you video looks unreal good and i do understand The 10 bit importance IF!! you are professional colourist etc... I learned that The level i am i dont need More than 8- bit .. Will go our today try slog2 The first Time and i Will try these Steps with davinci !
@@TimmyLodhi yes i see that. But my question is, is there a way how i can save e basic structure? Or some settings? Otherwise i have to make all 9 notes (for example) on every clip new? Ctrl c+v dont work in notes 🙁 you know what i mean? Thanks for your reply! ♥️
amazing! Thanks! By any chance can you tell us how do you expose Slog2? I understrood you expose normally and putting your highlight to 90 IRE? /like the clouds) ... ? Or do you overexpose? Thank in advanced .. subscribed!
Awesome Video! Why do you apply rec709 transform in the 8ght node? It is usually said to use this step as a starting point. Would love to hear your opinion on that.
There are certain effects that you want to apply to the image BEFORE you add the LUT, such as saturation, contrast, WB, etc. And there are certain effects you want to apply AFTER. You can place it wherever you'd like but for me on this project, the 8th node is just the one I picked.
Righteous! Thank you for doing this. Really clear and snappy. I have a colorist question though. I have the RX0M2 Sony. It's a gopro sized camera, but with a large sensor - making it NOT a go pro. It's got a SLog2 option. I'm not using it to shoot cinema style videos. I make music and multicamera shoot myself music recording/mixing (ATEM). I'm shooting in a studio environment with fixed lighting, typically low ISO/shutter 1/30. The camera is locked off. This is a colorist question, but should I always shoot in slog2? If I'm not after a cinematic look? I really want blacks and details to look as good as possible. I typically like a very saturated dark image. What do you think? Thanks in advance... :)
Good work brother can you tell me how to get that thick cinematic layer over your video jus like your taking head ..is that noise reduction or Gaussian blur?? this is the look im trying to get, but I can’t seem to figure it out .. please Help😩
Thanks for the tutorial Timmy. Gained new knowledge! By the way, did you write a script for narration beforehand or shoot everything, edit the sequence then only think about narration later?
You're welcome! For this particular piece I shot everything and edited the sequence first. At first, that's all I was gonna release but felt like it was lacking a bit. So I spent sometime writing a script and recorded the voice-over while watching the video back so the timing worked out.
Sometimes I make more. Sometimes I make less. If you’re asking if you can easily replicate them to other clips. You just need to right click on the clip and grab a screenshot. Then, when it’s in your gallery, you can easily apply the grade to the other clips by right clicking the gallery still and hitting apply grade
Can the adjustments be copied over to other clips for the entire film to have the same look without editing every single clip? Like copy settings to alla stills In Lr.
Yup! You just right click on the clip and select “copy attributes” and then right click on the clip you want to apply them to and hit “paste attributes”
Thanks for the tutorial! In the clip you are editing how did you manage to get well exposed footage if you weren't using an ND filter? I suppose you had low aperture for that dof and 1/50 shutter speed? If you can help me understand please I have trouble in full blown sun
Do you adjust the same method for slog3? I’m a big fan and i’ve been using fx6, but hopefully you post more detailed tutorial or how would you adjust fx6 white balance for the shooting. Thanks alot!
Hey Timmy, could you tell which picture profile is best for all scenario shooting (indoors and outdoors) on Sony a7iii without struggling much while color grading in DaVinci resolve 18
Hey! I always shoot SLOG2 or SLOG3. Those are my favorite profiles for shooting in any scenario but you have to be prepared to spend a lot time grading afterwards. Especially if you’re new.
Great video! Is it possible to copy/paste those adjustments you just did to another clip or do you always have to create new nodes and stuff for each clip?
Yup! The easiest way is to right click on the image after you’ve made your adjustments and select “Grab Still”. Then you can open your Gallery on the right and you should see your saved still. From there, just navigate to any other clip you want to grade, make sure it’s selected, and right click on the still you saved and hit “apply grade”
I prefer the highlight roll off and contrast tone curve on slog-2 over sgamut3.cine. Overall I think they’re not too different and I’m sure I could figure out a workflow with slog3 but I’ve really dialed in my style with SLOG2 on the a7iii
What nd filter did u use in this video? And did u use a polarizer? Dude those clouds are soo freaking good! Amazing dynamic range and colors!!!! Edit: ok now i know u didn't use a polarizer lol but what about the nd? How water isn't underexposed when u got those details in the clouds?!?!
@@TimmyLodhi i assume that the water was in shadows part of the histogram (because sky and clouds were so bright) so how did u illuminate it so clear (without noise and sharp enough) is it the lut? because i didn't see you doing something special for that, in the video.
@@ilyasguner2267 no LUTS. Like I said. The dynamic range is impressive on these cameras. If you’re shooting in LOG, you can retain shadows and highlights on your image if you expose properly
So one question I have is what your settings are when you first started the project. Obviously you chose settings on the Effects tab when you were doing your Rec 709 conversion but I’ve seen some videos where they referenced why they didn’t choose output settings because of what their project settings already were
Hey Timmy thanks for the informative video. The color space transform that you do at 4:20, is this the same as using a given SLOG to REC709 LUT? And is there an equivalent tool in premiere? Been watching your videos for a while now and they have helped a bunch. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Tbh, I’m not exactly sure if the color space transform tool works exactly like applying the standard SLOG2-Rec709 conversion LUT. For some reason, and this is totally my opinion, but I get better results in Davinci using that tool versus just applying the LUT in Premiere
And unfortunately there is no equivalent tool in Premiere. The only thing you can do is download a LUT and then select it in the Lumetri Panel. Quite unfortunate because it's a very powerful tool.
@@TimmyLodhi Ah man, does this mean I'm going to have to try out Davinci? Thanks for the clarification. If you need video ideas, I think it would be cool to see the difference between using the color space transform tool vs various slog to REc709 luts!
@@kevnito7299 I highly suggest trying out Davinci for the color tools at least. There’s also ways to edit in Premiere and then export to Davinci so you can color. I’m thinking about doing a video on that process as well
Hey Timmy do the project settings matter? do I change anything in color management to have the best results? I've seen some people change rec709 (scene) to rec709 gamma 2.4 on the output settings on color management as well, I'm not too well knowledge on this and was wondering if you make any changes in that setting?
your channel is like 1 STOP SHOPPING. keep it up buddy.

What a great compliment! Really appreciate it my friend.
I don't comment on videos that much, but you have the best looking a7iii footage on youtube.
Hey, thanks so much for that comment. You made my day!
Timmy I appreciate simply and to the point tutorial on how are you working on S-LOG2 footage. Thanks !
You’re welcome friend!
Thank you!!
great video.. i just moved to sony system and im using SLOG-2 profile.. and this video really help..
Very nice, thanks!
Glad you like it!
Excellent tutorial and well done. thanks Timmy.
Glad you liked it! Thanks Trevor.
Incredibly simple. Thank you mate!!!
Bro, your teaching is amazing, Thank you!!
Please keep making videos. I love what you are doing !!
Thanks so much Frank!
I just switched to Resolve and this has helped me so much! Thanks man! :D
You got it my man!
This got suggested by the algorhitm to me and I have to say well explained Timmy! Nice footage in the beginning as well
Great to hear Peter! Just watched some of your stuff. Holy moly your editing and sound design are so good!
Very easy very short very informative and simple,way better then Waqas Qazi
Man I miss the Sierras!
thanks for the video brother
Thank you!
Learned a lot from this. Thanks!
*this is very very helpful!!!!!*
Glad it helped!

great video man! thanks!
what about white balance? :/
Thank You so much for sharing !!
why youtube is not showing underrated videos first?
eehj exacli that what I was looking for! Thanks!
Just, you edited on clip and not on Timeline, so you start this process with every clip again?! 😅
Every clip needs a little different treatment. The same grading doesn’t work on every clip.
@@TimmyLodhi yes i see that. But my question is, is there a way how i can save e basic structure? Or some settings? Otherwise i have to make all 9 notes (for example) on every clip new? Ctrl c+v dont work in notes 🙁 you know what i mean?
Thanks for your reply! ♥️
Very good my dear. And how to have these settings in the camera before going through this post production
Thank You!! Great job as usual,
I enjoy every time when I watch this video, is this a free or paid version of Davinci?
This was with the free version! Although I've upgraded to the paid version since then.
It would be amazing if you included some shots to practice along with you. Great colors
I'm actually doing that in my next video! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this. QQ my track does nothing, it wont track anything any idea? and i was on node 6 And blue luma, does nothing on mine
It’s hard to say without see but I would make sure you’re at the beginning of the clip and to make sure you’ve created a mask before trying to track

Is there a way to save the "nine node" tree so it can be recalled with a click later?
Great Job! can you tell us what was your "4K" export setting for this video? because this "UA-cam compression" always surprises us!
Many Thanks 🙏
Thanks Fati! Resolve has an export preset for UA-cam. I didn’t adjust any of the settings actually.
Why use rec709 as gamma output and not gamma 2.4 ? Thanks !
Thanks for the tutorial Timmy. Gained new knowledge! By the way, did you write a script for narration beforehand or shoot everything, edit the sequence then only think about narration later?

@@TimmyLodhi Awesome! Thanks man. Appreciate it.
In capera settings? PP7? and in PP7 cinegrade3? slog 2? i need to know it! thanks and very good video!
I do have a question do you sharpen any of your video? If so, what is the best way to do it?
If I do, I don’t add much more than 5-10%
Do you create more than 9 nods for every each cut? Is there any way that i could make a sync
Sometimes I make more. Sometimes I make less. If you’re asking if you can easily replicate them to other clips. You just need to right click on the clip and grab a screenshot.

I was 100% using an ND Filter. This is a must if shooting outside! My aperture was f/4 most of the time.
U r dope
Do you adjust the same method for slog3? I’m a big fan and i’ve been using fx6, but hopefully you post more detailed tutorial or how would you adjust fx6 white balance for the shooting. Thanks alot!
Things are slightly different with the FX6. Honestly it’s much easier! I use the Phantom LUT’s Neutral Look and tweak things from there
Hey Timmy, could you tell which picture profile is best for all scenario shooting (indoors and outdoors) on Sony a7iii without struggling much while color grading in DaVinci resolve 18
Hey! I always shoot SLOG2 or SLOG3. Those are my favorite profiles for shooting in any scenario but you have to be prepared to spend a lot time grading afterwards. Especially if you’re new.

why don't you use a single node for the vignette and just click invert?
A lot of times I’ll use the first node to bring up the exposure of the inside vignette and then use the outside node to decrease the outer area
Awesome video! Just curious why you shoot slog with sgamut vs sgamut3cine?
I prefer the highlight roll off and contrast tone curve on slog-2 over sgamut3.cine. Overall I think they’re not too different and I’m sure I could figure out a workflow with slog3 but I’ve really dialed in my style with SLOG2 on the a7iii
👌💯🎬
Did you use a nd filter for this shot?
What nd filter did u use in this video? And did u use a polarizer? Dude those clouds are soo freaking good! Amazing dynamic range and colors!!!!
Edit: ok now i know u didn't use a polarizer lol but what about the nd? How water isn't underexposed when u got those details in the clouds?!?!
Just a regular old ND!
A lot of it is the grading, as well as proper exposure
@@TimmyLodhi i assume that the water was in shadows part of the histogram (because sky and clouds were so bright) so how did u illuminate it so clear (without noise and sharp enough) is it the lut? because i didn't see you doing something special for that, in the video.

Nice job man, quick question : do you apply the same node tree and you make small adjustement for the other clips or how you do it ?
Thanks man! I’ll typically copy the same node tree over to every other clip and then go through tweak them as needed.

It is very much appreciated if you have some shots included for our practicing along with you,thank you.
How do you record the screen with such quality? video on that?

I have no idea the reason to use SLOG on a 8 bit camera
Because it maximizes the dynamic range you can achieve regardless of it being 8-bit or not..
can you give me yours camera S Log settings?
The lut is not free😭
Sorry! They usually have a really good sale around Black Friday. Totally worth the money!
