Man this was really nice. Great job!
Thank you, brother. keep pumping out epic content.
I upgraded to shoot 10 bit CLOG3 for weddings about six months ago and literally pulled my hair out watching 100's of videos that did not improve my skills one single bit. This recent shoot, I vowed to change that. I then found you. You are the secret sauce in my world now. OMG bless thee forever! Spot on tutorial.
Saw the screen grabs on Instagram and HAD to come check this out because of how good the skin looked. Keep up the great work!
epic!
This is the best wedding video color tutorial I've ever seen. Taking my grading skills to the next level!
Much love brother
Look forward to watching this tomorrow!
This color grading channel is the best I have seen in TH-cam! 🔥 A hidden treasure of the internet 🌟🌟🌟
Ayyyy. Much ❤️
Midtone detail to -30 just solved a problem I was having doing 4K videos of family members. Thanks man, you really saved my bacon!
Waqas Qazi with your tutorials I am going further to the professional point.
Thank you for that willingness to teach beginners.
Thanks greetings from Ecuador.
Super helpful! Helpful to see your keyboard inputs. I'm going through a wedding video I shot using this tutorial and it's really helpful. Love your teaching style.
Awesome.
YOU GOTZ TO BE MY DAVORITE COLOR-GRADER, AT THE MOMENT! ! !
Thanks so much for all your SUPER content and TIPS!
Wow'd again as always, Mr. Qazi. Thank you so much; I am definitely using these techniques in my future wedding films.
Have fun!
"Value bomb" signed, sealed & delivered. THANKS WAQAS!

I really really enjoyed all your tips.. So professional and friendly... And easy to understand. Thank you so much!
You're welcome 😀
You’re chanel is absolutely amazing! Thank you very much for what are you doing! I will definitely get your masters class! But at this moment is very difficult!
looking forward to it. Let's go!
you are my mentor for color grading thanks a lot for all the tips !!
😀🙏🏽
Hey! Just starting to make the jump from premiere to resolve thanks to you and a fellow wedding filmmaker! Dropping bombs you are sir! First question (of many I have) how do you do that "swipe" at the end to compare node by node? I want to upload my progress using your lesson techniques! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for this! Amazing lessons as always!
You're very welcome
Love your tutorials, you are treasure !
Thank you so much!
Love seeing another colorist's techniques and approach to grading weddings. I always come to watch your techniques and ways you approach grading. Very helpful in this video and excited to see you work on wedding footage! Loved the glow effect as well. Subtle but powerful. I will mention though that like 75% of wedding videographers do not shoot in LOG or even 10bit much less raw like this video. Would be helpful to see a wedding example in 8bit and with a location involving more than the blue wall and skin tone colors since that is a more real life example. When using the HSL and adjusting the luminance of the red point, 8bit footage showcases artifacts most of the time even with that much adjustment as you did in this video. I have a lot of trouble using any luminance adjustments in 8bit in the Hue vs Luma section. What other ways would you recommend lifting just the skin exposure without introducing artifacts on non-log non-raw footage?
I agree with looking at an 8-bit file!. Something out of a Sony A7 III or Canon 5D Mark IV would be cool to see. As always grat info! Between the -30 on color boost and the Glow effect - we win!
Yeah, 8bit not so great for heavy grading. You probably better off with Qualifer than Hue vs Luma (in my opinion useless at 8bit).
@whiteinrevery I loved this approach and technique as well. I also enjoy your content :) I actually did this same grade on an 8-bit clip and worked really well. It was of course in a really good natural-lit clip I had. I would love to see like you suggested some other grading approach to a not-so well-lit footage wich happens more than 60% in weddings.
Hey it's WIR! You guys aren't shooting 10bit with your GH5s? I figured that's what you would be sticking with, but I know each situation is different
@@avsvisual6786 We are now shooting Vlog 10bit on the S1 and S5. Vlog is so much better than V-Log L in our opinion which is why we never worked with V-Log L on the Gh5 and stuck with Natural Profile.
Great stuff brotha! Thank you for making this 🙏🏻
Of course
@@theqazman this video is very useful for us, wedding worker, I hope to see more focus on wedding than general cinema/videomusic, such as specific workflow, how to recover bad footage (this is a common problem when coloring wedding), how to overcome specific camera defects, such as magenta skin problem with sony cameras etc etc, different wedding color styles, wedding is a whole different world! :)
Respect from Russia! It's really awesome! We have no tutorials like this one on russian youtube. Thank you for the great example)
Keep up these great videos these tips always help me with my work
and my TH-cam channel Thank You 🙏🏾
Awesome to hear.
Thank you! As always and amazing video. I was just hoping you would touch on how to copy and past that node tree to all clips? If it is even possible..
Hey! I really appreciate all your videos here. I've been learning a ton!
Could you do a video on how to grade Real Estate videos?
They're a lot of people who do them for work (including me) and I can't seem to find out the best way to do it.
The client wants it bright inside the house but we don't want to maintain contrast and keep details in the windows because the view often sells the property. Also, mixed color lighting. We might have white walls, with blue coming from the windows and orange from the incandescent.
How would you color grade a real estate video?
Insane as always!
Thank you, my brother. FCM fam.
that was amazing!
Wish I could watch this now, but hopefully you’ve got this one set to be viewable tomorrow!!
baldwinvp yes please make it viewable!

I'ma def register on that class, one day!
First thing first: that lens I wanted to buy since a year or so.
I REALLY wanna take that class and pay for this knowledge.
It seem that you think of every aspect I am also curious about and put it out in such a meaningful and simple way!
AN INSPIRATION!
Looking forward to seeing you in FCM, brother.
Hey there, thanks for this great content.
One question : why did you choose to not do the CST on this footage and do it manually ? Thanks
Thank you, just thank you you're awesome!
You're welcome!
I've been watching and learning from your videos to become a better color-grader...honestly, I think you're the only one teaching this subject. My question to you is the wealth of knowledge you're teaching on color grading using is it better to start using DaVinci or can I keep using FCPX?
This is so helpful for me thanks you sir😍
You're welcome
Amazing color grading!
thanks
you are the best ♥
Awesome Tutorial Brother ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks ✌️
This is a very good vedio, and may I know What Mac do you use...?
Look and Tutorial are amazing ! Thanks about that
I was just wondering with which camera was this filmed? Because I think you did not mention it but just said "Shoot in LOG"
Thanks a lot
I was waiting for this
let's go!
Ur video made me educated...thank u so much sir😊
Glad to hear that
That was too amazing its very nice after result came out of the video
Thanks
I was so stoked on this video. Why did you take the last one down?
Thanks so much
Why you didn't do CST on this one? Thanks for the awesome tutorials!!!
i love your videos! can we have more tutorials on 8 bit footage? maybe sony HLG3 this time.
in my masterclass bit.ly/2YGHMJO
Hi, which camera settings di you use to grab the original unprocessed footage?
Fantastic
great job super
I am premiere pro user , but after watching your videos, tutorials , I wanted to switch in Davinci resolve from now 😊 thanks for such great videos ❤️💻
Of course. You'll never look back.
Dude you're so good. I hope you're a millionaire because you deserve it
Close 😜
Really took this Z Cam footage to the next level!
EDIT: this video might make me switch to Resolve
great video. First one of yours I've watched. I run almost the exact same process and extremely simular node try for fast turn projects. Encouraging...
Awesome
Thank u mann, love your video. Can u make a video how to color grade travel video ^^
Thanks. Will do.
Amazing details.
Thanks!
Bro what kind of computer do you use? my PC is dying when I open Davinci and star adding the nodes
Amazing work! Thanks for the incredible content. If you don’t mind me asking why do prefer not to start with a conversion LUT for the camera? You work directly with the log? Is that for better control? Thanks 👍🏻
gives me much more control of my image to start with LOG.
Waqas Qazi Thanks for the reply! I’ll give that a go as well then. Do you ever use the REC 709 conversion LUTs to see what the DOP was viewing when they lit/recorded it? Or always just start with log?
Amazing boi
Can you tell me what kind of equipment you have? What is all this stuff for? is it really necesary? and how much does it all cost?
thank you very-much.. its worth more than evryting
Let's go
Amazing bro please do more tutorial for wedding
another one thanks bro
Any time!
Thank you so much for this s tutorial
I'm going to join your class😁😁😁😁🌹🌹😉😉💖💖💖
Let's go!!!
열심히 배우고 갑니다.
one thing i need to know sir when u pull the highlights why didn't use ur 1st node as highlight node?
I have
in what format to shoot?HLG or rec709?
great job man, but isn't it the same or easyer when we colorgrade it premiere pro? it ask to mutch time if you must color grade a full wedding movie :D
Does your course cover this in more detail? Amazing job! Thanks for sharing
Yes it does!
thank you.
can you also provide free slog footage to practice with? that would be of great help ty
thank sir.
Thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course
King !!!
ayyy
Thank you so much for sharing your videos here on TH-cam! Learning a lot.
I was wondering: do you know if it's possible to add a missing hair light in post using resolve? i.e. when the subject's hair doesn't separate well from a dark background for example.
There is no plugin for missing hair light you just have to lift your gamma and use maybe a custom curve to really get more detail out without losing the punch.
@@theqazman Thank you so much! Will give it a shot
Did you start with log footage here? Hard to tell on youtube.
please tell us what camera the bride clip was shot on?
Thanks buddy
No problem 👍
wow i am a full fan now i call you boss
What was the picture profile used for the raw footage?
Thanks A Lot
Welcome!
You are amazing.
thank you so much
