Your ability to teach is fantastic. Thanks for all the great information. I've used curves for a decade and never thought about them the way you described, and it made my workflow so much easier.
One thing I've been doing since this tutorial is adding a desaturated node to my timeline instead of the clip! that way I can easily go through all clips after they've been cut without having to desaturate the first nose and resaturate after. -- I seriously watch this tutorial once every couple of months thank you
I MUST watch your Davinci Resolve course now. Because this gem of knowledge you offered in this video kinda changes or helps everything. This workflow is ultra legit. It allows for better decisions to be made about an image. It's kinda like the secret sauce.
insane technique for beginners, I'm a pharmacist by profession and have no idea on any video editing. I start liking video editing as a hobby after i downloaded resolve
This is a GREAT technique! I can't wait to try it on the next video on my channel. Thank you so much for these tutorials. My TH-cam videos look so much better since I started following your channel.
Don't have a word how to thank you. I just started to learn Color Grading and Your Tutorial is just really helping me to hone my skill in a professional Level! Thanks
There's definitely some good in this method. You can save yourself a little time by disabling the first node once you've set your contrast, rather than re-entering your saturation. To do that, simply click on the number above the node.
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. In moving from the types of colour controls I''m used to in photography world it''s been challenging to wrap my head around what types of controls in DaVinci are analogous to those. Your video was so, so helpful. The concept is the same as in photography, but the controls just work a little differently. Your explanations are very easy to follow and much appreciated.
Thanks for a great tutorial. I have problems to recreate the look of your screen, i.e. I have only Color Wheels and Scopes but not Curves section as you do. I work on a laptop. Is this the reason of the difference, or there is a way to squeeze in the three of them?
Thanks Eric, your video's very usefull. Anyway there is a question i need your help, my friend told me that i shouldn't use curve to change contrast (just use "contrast" below color wheels) because it would reduce quality of video. Is my friend's advice correct. And What's different in changing contrast between using curve and contrast (below color wheel)
This midpoint strategy is interesting. Wouldn't you theoretically be going endlessly between midpoints? Are you supposed to stop at a certain number of points?
Great Technique! The scopes don't lie. So.... I know you're a DaVinci shop, but I'd be interested in a sister video using FCPX 10.4's tools. Each color correction in FCPX is stacked and acts like a node in DaVinci. I think you can get to the same place as this tutorial.
Congratulations! Your explanations are concrete and accurate. I have a question ... do you know why when rendering my colors come out desaturated? they don't look like the correction I make in the program.
I'm a beginner in color grading, and is it true here, that the emphasis is more on what the eye is detecting on the picture in terms of contrast, as opposed to strictly looking at the graphs, and making changes according to their levels? I've been watching a lot of tutorials on using the levels to adjust things, but here, the outcome (which looks really good) is based on what the eye is detecting in the picture in terms of contrast? Thank you for the help.
Great video! How do you use this technique if there are drastic lighting changes in your scene...as in drone footage? Or would you only use this area on similarly lit scenes?

Curves seemed daunting me to me because of the extensive trial-and-error. Desaturating the image was a huge tip. Thank You.
Your ability to teach is fantastic. Thanks for all the great information. I've used curves for a decade and never thought about them the way you described, and it made my workflow so much easier.
Your lessons are invaluable to my learning curve. Pun intended ;) Thank you!
Great value! Thanks.

Wow! Ricky! Recently I just noticed that your videos have very nice looks in therms of color grading! Now I know why! Haha!
Great Tutorial, this channel is gold!
Finally someone is giving some structure to the madness that is color grading. Thank you, Sir. You're helping me adopt resolve and forget premiere.
So simple, once a master teaches you how. Thanks.

Once again umm wow! Most people say don't put so many dots on the curve but this method produces great results! Thanks again, khamsin times !!

Curves are so powerful but hard because of the need of subtlety. This understanding that you showed here makes it so easy. Thx
Don't have a word how to thank you. I just started to learn Color Grading and Your Tutorial is just really helping me to hone my skill in a professional Level! Thanks
This method was soo clarifying and valuable. Thank you 🙏
I love how he says "however"!
Absolutely the best thing I've learned for DR color grading. Thank you for a well demonstrated method!
This has to be the very best video I've ever seen on color grading! I thought it was useless at first but now I'm using this technique all the time!
This is the first time I’ve ever understood how to approach using curves. THANK YOU! ♥️
There's definitely some good in this method. You can save yourself a little time by disabling the first node once you've set your contrast, rather than re-entering your saturation. To do that, simply click on the number above the node.
I've always had problems working with curves, but after watching this tutorial it should be a piece of cake. Great job!
phenomenal lesson, thanks!
Great lesson. Thanks!
You are a blessing to us. Thank you for being there for us. Much love from Ghana, West Africa
Fantastic tutorial!!
Fantastic! Thanks a bunch.
This IS PURE GOLD! Wow
i really like this desaturate tip! Thanks!
Ofc you could just simply delete that node after done, faster than lifting saturation back up.

Your explanation is simply awesome and easy to understand.. Tq for the tutorial.

Top tip! Haven’t seen this done in other _basic_ tutorials.
Short and clear👍🏻
Man! You are awesome! Thanks for your work!
Wonderful technique. Thank you!
Thanks you made my day!!!
Thanks
I like curves! I find that easer that the wheels to adjust my contrast!
People often underestimate Color Curves :( Love this channel keep it up :)
Great for colour correction but requires trained eye.
nice one,always good to refresh on curves haven't used then too much recently
thank you. really useful
Very cool tip
Awesome!
I love this technique. Great tutorial. 👍👍
I've never been able to use curves correctly. Now I do. Thanks man
Thankyou
So simple and amazing technique. Thank you!
it was awesome! thanks!
please fusion tutorial complete explaining
I would never have thought of doing it like this thanks for posting!
Sir from where can we get log or flat file to work on please suggest any site
Great Technique! Thanks!

newbie question: at 2:13 why did you click on Y. What wud be the outcome had you not do that?
Amazing tutorial. I used to hate and avoid curves. Thank you!
####jus brilliant sir
If I try adjusting contrast from the curves and just select the y channel nothing happens but if I select grab channels then I can adjust contrast.
So simple yet amazing tutorial, thank you!
Holy crap that was seriously magical.
This midpoint strategy is interesting. Wouldn't you theoretically be going endlessly between midpoints? Are you supposed to stop at a certain number of points?
Very nice
Great technique. I'll give it a try!
you are great
Awesome, thanks for this!
Great! Thanks!
Awesome mate I'll be giving this a go!
Why did you add a second node to adjust the curves when you could also do it in the first node?
Cool idea!
Excellent!
Thank you, it's very useful video.
This is the best
Simply NICE
Just WOW!
Great video! And I also own that Ikea desk lamp! :)👍
This is really helpful. Thank you.

Amaxing!!

Super helpful, thanks!
You can better fine tune the curves in DR than Pr!
How to add nikon and canon colour space in to ( Colour management - - input colour space ) ????
Really good. Thx!,
thanks very useful
Wow, this is a great tip! Thanks!
2:13 - Why are you only controlling the Y channel?
that's a really useful tip!!!
Great tutorial! This one earned a Sub.
Is it possible to simply click on a previous mode to select it? I can't select it without going thru the nodes menu.
Double-click.
