I have a lot of expectations from your channel. You're a pro.
thank you for the kind words!
Austin, thanks for such an interesting and detailed review! Love the results 😍
No problem! Thank you for the opportunity!
This was the best demo I've seen on Film Emulation, and thanks for providing the footage, I'm so grateful
Thank you! No problem!
Just purchased with your discount code. Thanks for the walk through of your process!
Thank you!
No problem!
Proud to be your 450th subscriber, all the best moving forward my guy!
Thank you!
Thank you Thank you Thank you, for providing the raw footage. This is an amazing resource. If you ever review cameras, I hope you do the same thing. Working across different codecs, picture profiles, bitrates, is something I want to get under my belt, and you're helping do that by proving the footage. You a real one.
No problem! Thank you!
I am 5 minutes in and my neck already hurts from looking at you. Valuable information but you need to setup your camera and seating better ergonomically :) I just care about your health mate! Now I will keep watching again :)
Thanks for the feedback! Thanks for checking out the video! : )
Great episode 👌
Thank you!
Great tutorial! Really helped me achieve the best results from dehaner
thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Amazing color! I always struggle with dehancer color grading on the pocket, now its easy hahaha
Awesome! Thanks so much! I’m really glad it’s easy for you now!
Dude you are a pro thank you!
No problem!
This was a great video, thanks for making it!
Thank you!
8:42 thank you for the video👍🏻🙏🏻
I work in a similar fashion with the cst in to dwg/intermediate and cst out to rec709/2.4.
Question: why do you set the source of dehancer to dwg/rec709 when you’re still in dwg/intermediate ? Shouldn’t it be deg/intermediate? If not, why?😅 and what is dwg/intermediate source in dehancer for?
you're totally right lol. I've learned a few things since making that video and that's one of the corrections I would go back and make. lately I've been getting the best results by just using the dehancer camera profile over working in DWG. Like a lot of colorists my process changes every 5 seconds lol. I'm very picky of how my image looks and I'm constantly striving to get the best film emulation. what using the camera profile helps me do is start off with a really strong contrast (which film has) and the compensate from there as opposed to working in DWG which doesn't have a strong look to begin with and so I'm missing getting a filmic contrast.
@@-austinsmith thanks for the reply, yeah i just learned 10 new things since writing the comment..lol You're right. It seems that dehancer looks "best" when fed rec709 or even better directly inputting the camera in the source tab since dehancers conversion looks way different to resolve's. well i just started out on the dahncer journey(: i guess i'm gonna either have it after my cst out or input the camera profile. The manual says that you should disable CSTs when selecting the camera in the source tab. maybe somthing to try out. Ask me in 10 minutes and i wll have changed my mind again(:
Do you work in the industry? Would love to see some of your pro work. Just wanna make sure what you're teaching translates to the big screen.
Yes. I can share some at some point, for the moment my TH-cam content is geared towards educational videos.
@@-austinsmith Ah. Ok. Surely you have a company, right? Client work and all that? You're too knowledgeable to not be doing this commercially. Any commercials of yours that I may have seen?
Goated
thanks! I'm hardly a goat. Just trying to do the best I can.
Great tutorials Subbbeeeddd
Thank you!
Thanks for Footage ur the best
No problem!
Can you put just luts on your log footage and pass all the process and save time ? It's possible right ?
Absolutely, I don't use Dehancer Pro all of the time. You won't get all the benefits of using Dehancer Pro but it's possible to get a good film look with just a LUT.
Amazing work! could you drop the link to the DCTL by any chance from Cullen Kelly's description? I don't know which video to find the link at
Thank you! Here it is! procolor.ist/starter-kit/
Hello, the timeline color space needs to be exactly DaVinci Wide Gamut, this is the color space that Dehancer expects?
Nope, but it works 👍🏼 I have other videos detailing different processes for how to apply Dehancer to footage on my channel.
@@-austinsmith thanks for the reply, i have read a bit the manual for Dehancer, i have seen that as a source you can even select the camera model and their log and gama and work from there. You can leave me a link for one of your vids where i csn dee in detail hot to apply Dehancer to different type of footages. if its no trouble of course.
HI BROTHER ! Where its better to put dehancer- after or before the last Rec709 [as out] CST node, especially when using the Film & Print options in the Dehancer ?
You can either put dehancer before the CST to rec709 node and set it to DWG/intermediate or just use the camera profile in the dehancer plug-in to transform to rec709 with no nodes. Using the camera profile gives you more headroom, contrast, separation and saturation while using dehancer in DWG/intermediate gives you a more neutral starting point with less contrast, sat, and separation. It can help to try out both depending on the source footage. It can be really tricky to use the camera profile on shots that are very high contrast already but it’s doable. I personally like the camera profile option the best, the grain looks better to me in that mode.
By Camera profile, u mean by clicking check profile in the options of plugin? I haven't used in that way yet.@@-austinsmith
No. So what you’ll do is set up your project as - Davinci YRGB - rec709 gamma 2.4 - Rec709-A (if you’re on a mac). Don’t create any CST’s, just apply the dehancer pro plug-in to a node and in the input selection, you’ll select your camera profile.
Ohh. Okay. So that's a whole new workflow. Will try it and tell how it goes for me. Thanks Austin@@-austinsmith
Thanks for the detailed video about your workflow.
I've been using dehancer for a while now but with your tips my videos finally get the vibe I was hoping for with the plugin.
A small question on the side.
In your cst to rec709, why are you using gamma 2.4 and not rec709a.
I don't quite understand that yet.
Do you render the video then also rec709 gamma2.4 or rec709 rec709a?
Thank you and greetings
No problem! I’m so glad you’re getting the vibe now with your videos! That’s awesome!
I have the option “tag rec 709 clips as Rec709a” selected in my project settings.
So, to my understanding that allows me to set my CST to rec709/ gamma 2.4.
And also it doesn’t look like you can transform it to rec709/ Rec709 a. I don’t see an option there.
I’m also learning, but that’s how I’ve come to understand it. It looks great, and when I export it, it looks the same as it did when I was grading.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
That makes sense. But does that mean that you still select rec709a in your export settings right?
Or do you also enter gamma 2.4 there?
Unfortunately I can't find the right answers in the manual.
Thank you for your message 👍
I totally understand, it’s hard to find the right answers with so many people doing it different ways.
But that’s Correct, you still enter rec709-a in the export settings.
So it’s:
Timeline color space DWG
Output color space rec709-a
I’m not sure why you are setting Dehancer’s colour space to DVR WG/Rec709 when you’re in DWG (DWG/Intermediate) timeline colour space? You’re in an intermediate gamma so shouldn’t your Dehancer plug-in be set to DVR WG/Intermediate? Your CST after Dehancer then channels your colour space down to Rec709.
That’s correct! it’s a mistake I made but I didn’t know that at the time of making this video.
@@-austinsmith It was only my observation, not a criticism. You made a good informative video. Cheers.
Thank you so much!
Great bro. Very Much appreciated.. is it okay to use dehancer pro in resolve 18? What version of resolve are you using?
Thanks! Absolutely! I’m using Resolve 18.5 beta.
Hello friend, what monitor do you recommend to give real colors in davinci resolve? I have 1200 dollars
Unfortunately I don’t know enough about that to give you a good answer, I’ve always just used a Mac display for color grading.
what frame rate did you used at 14:40 min?
24fps
