Super video. Really clear and helpful. Do you have any videos on the various flavours of Rec.709? Gamma 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, A and Scene? As I understand it, 2.2 is for SM, 2.4 is for TV and 2.6 for XYZ cinema projectors. But what about A and Scene? The reason I ask is I was screening my low budget documentary on a Rec.709 (non XYZ) Christie projector and couldn't find out anywhere on the web, which Gamma Setting to use in Davinci or for export.
WOW really explained it so simple. People need to see this to understand why we need to update! Rec2020, Dolby Vision/10+, 2000 nit 😂, 12bit, H.266/VVC, with Atmos/X!!! Really, a good video and you know it down to fundamentals. I like how you spoke about the stops and how even a cheap camera today can display more than SDR.
This is very helpful, thanks. Would you be able to do a video on how to correctly calibrate a monitor for video post production? Been having difficulties getting uniform results across different makers. Thanks again!
@@theqazman 10000000% this topic please. Three different monitors form three different manufactures here and all have slightly different colours despite careful calibration by me!
Calibration is a royal pain. I *think* the issue is the gpu deciding the colors (I'm sure the expert will clear that up properly.) I calibrate with a Spyder and even right after calibrating, it looks WAY too red to my eyes. There is about 10 seconds after booting up before the calibration kicks in so the change is clear. Is it right? Who knows. I wish I could get a $10,000 reference monitor and all of the hardware to go into it but for now it would be very nice to get close enough which I don't think is happening.
Been debating with either Wacom or Huion pen display tablet. Apparently huion doesnt have those types of color profiles yet. Wacom does so this now understanding about color profiles, I’ve decided to go with Wacom. Thanks for clarifying what rec 709 is. I’m an animator so I do need those color profiles on my pen tablet. Thanks and liked your video
Hi, nice tutorials. Affirm : As i understood color space rec 709 is used for get in the footages less color info , and let you " free space " for push wherever you like in post production. Right ? Question: I have Sony FDR AX 100 E and other handycam panasonic HC V 700 I looked in parameters, and i dont see nothing related, i xan change my footages from this to REC 709 in software ? I use sony vegas pro 13 Any suggestion is appriciated
Great video, but I have to ask a question. I will be getting a canon camera that can shoot Rec. 709, Rec. 2020, and Cinema Gamut in CLog, so what do I use? I also will be getting a 100% accurate rec 709 monitor and wondering if I will still be able to grade rec 2020 footage on it.
First, thank you for yet another great tutorial. ❤️ I’m a FCM member and love your content! Please, please be the first on the entire web to do a video on broadcast delivery directly from Resolve or if you edited in Premiere and have to send clips back there. I have the TV Technical Specifications, but I still feel so confused what specs like ”Luminance(Y) -1% and 103%” or ”RGB video levels -5% and 105%” means and how to grade/render to meet those values. Also confused about things like EBU recommendations and ITU-R BT.709-5 and such.
Why do you use OFX to set your color conversion? Are there any advantages over setting the color science to "DaVinci Resolve Color Managed" in the color tab and then assigning the camera (or cameras) to files when they are imported into your project?
I SWEAR man I was looking for your channel after I found the first video... and COULD NOT find it, but I saw the Intro again w/ Joker, Speedo USA and Mad Max and was like "Finally, FINALLY I found it again!" I'm not losing it this time lol. Sub + Like. AWESOME content man.
@@andrewching1808 rec709 covers all bases as it been around and in use longer. Rec 2020 is for HDR monitors/screens which is a new technology not used by every user (mobile phones, computer monitors, TVs). When HDR Bbecomes common place you will run into issues using Rec 2020. Even if you have HDR monitor and workflow there will always be someone who watches your content on a non HDR screen that sees weird unnatural colors when watching your content from their SDR device (perhaps the majority).
Guys are the best!! Congrats!! -When do you make some more standard like GoPro workflow in Davinci? I see so much content of quality in your channel and a lot of bad content on TH-cam taking of that. Setting in my GoPro 10 •Lens: 4:3 and linear, sometimes superview... • WB: Native • Color: Flat • Sharp: Low • BitRate: High • IsoMax: 800 Problems: Noise reduction, lens correction and if the file is like a RAW and how manage and take his potential. Thanks a lot for all the content.
I find that with gopro, anything over iso 200 is practically unusable due to noise. The 4k is unusable because of the fisheye, at least when there are vertical lines. Fingers crossed Waqas will prove me wrong on all fronts :)
Thank you. This was easy to follow. But one thing you mentioned I didn't understand. You said "if you shoot in log" Well, I have lots of old footage and have no idea what this means. Can you explain log please?
Can anyone explain: when he adds Rec. 709 he says that's "what it looked like on set". How can he know what it looked like on set when he hasn't added what LUT they used? He's gone from the raw footage to Rec. 709, which is a colour gamut, not a look. Confused.
consult, if you have many shots recorded with different cameras, such as Sony Slog-3, Iphone, stock videos, etc. but you don't know the color profile of those videos, is there a way to match all the color spaces and transform or unify them? and then convert them all to Rec-709
Hey great tutorial! I love your channel. I did have a question for you though. Around 4:10 you mention if you’re shooting log you’ll need to convert to 709, but if you’re shooting raw on red it does the conversion for you, my question is what if you’re shooting raw but in log? That’s what I do on the Komodo
@@theqazman Ok, well I can still change all of my metadata later just FYI. I'm assuming your referring to white balance, iso, etc... if that's the case you can shoot in log, and still have all your raw control.
Amazing video but when we round trip from premiere to resolve using bake and blade method and export a clean 4444, exporting window in premiere pro shows that it's exporting in rec.709, so does that mean like we're in rec 709 color space
hello i have a benq pd3220u monitor for a correct preview so i have to set the rec709 color space on my monitor? regardless if the video will be viewed on TH-cam or on a TV. Thanks
Hi Waqas, i am such always shoot on rec 709 at Sony A6400, A6500 Camera on indoor wedding video, because lighting at the place not stable, is it ok for color correction and grading?

Best explanation I've seen on REC.709 ever! Simple , clear to the point! Awesome!
incredible skills u have, so I decide to follow for learning
Thx for taking time to do this.
You're welcome
Good primer on Rec.709. I’ve been grading in HDR for over two years. TH-cam fully supports it as do most people’s phones.
Rarely I leave any comment but today I learn something new thanks a lot.

You're welcome
İt should be like this !! Directly on the point !! No bullshit!! Bravo ,,,👏
I like this video. Thank you. I learnt something. Just getting into colour grading.
you saved my life. THANK YOU!!!
Should you convert your log footage to rec.709 before color grading? Or should you just color grade from log?
Very very informative. It’s good to learn a little bit more about those common terms I often gloss over.
Qazi ive been struggling to understand rec 709 now ive understood .Thank you so much im from Nairobi Kenya
You got it brother
Great, simple, no BS explanation. Thanks.
Im wiser after watching this. Thanks for making it so easy to understand!
Happy to help
Super awesome video. How did you do that edit at 2:30 ?
Thank you! You're very knowledgeable in this!

i like native on samsung tvs which is DCI color space looks more colorful to me

always lots of usefull information thanks qazi!!!
Yeah, always wondered what it meant. Thanks.
Fantastic video! Quick question: could one export to more modern formats like Rec 2020 today? Or should we still use Rec 709?
for SDR you have to use Rec.709.
What if the primary viewing platform is online / mobile / computer?

Just make the switch. 😀
In the EU already emiting UHD HDR public and private TV channels all over the continent.
Its been two years watching ur tutorial...thank u so much for sharing these valuable knowledge consistently... ♥️♥️♥️
Nice explanation of Rec. 709, can you do Rec. 2020 next? i kept reading about how it's gonna change to that standard soon
Will do

wish i could have followed along with this vid but even in full screen, the text inside DR was tiny :(
Fantastic video! Something just clicked for me.
That's awesome.
So what should a guy finish his projects in to submit to film festivals that project in theaters
i waaaant the book please !!!

Fantastic video! Can you do a tutorial for HDR Workflow? I'm struggling to get good looking HDR content to my OLED TV.
Will do.
but what is rec 707-a or Rec 709 scene and how would one know if they need to set it to Rec 709 gamma 2.2 or 2.4?
Thank you🙏✨
So much understanding haha THANKS
You're welcome
Can anyone explain: when he adds Rec. 709 he says that's "what it looked like on set". How can he know what it looked like on set when he hasn't added what LUT they used? He's gone from the raw footage to Rec. 709, which is a colour gamut, not a look. Confused.
Is it better than BT.601?
fantastic information !
log-----conversion to rec 709 -----------color correction ------------- color grading? is this the process?
If you convert the LOG into Rec.709.
Then whats the use of shooting in LOG they could have shot it in Rec.709 ?????
Thank you ! What about SDR rec.2020 ?
Good video! I have a bmpcc 4K but i don’t understand the concept of the gen 5 … is this a upgraded Rec709 for BlackMagic cameras ?
TH-cam outputs HDR doesn't it? So why not just grade in HDR with a color managed workflow then deliver on both sdr and HDR? Think it's worth it?
So does the Color Space Transform go at the begging of the node tree, or towards the tail end????
Good job 👍 Thanks 🙏
Thank you for the video! Really helpful :) Keeping my notes here! Hehe!
😂 I'm proud of you.
consult, if you have many shots recorded with different cameras, such as Sony Slog-3, Iphone, stock videos, etc. but you don't know the color profile of those videos, is there a way to match all the color spaces and transform or unify them? and then convert them all to Rec-709
Great breakdown and visual references!
I'm not familiar with the CIE chart. LOL. I think I need to start with a video on that!
Add always. Very clear and concisely
What if my Rec709 conversion looks terrible? Should I adjust it or move on to grading and fix from there?
World class content

Okey. Now, where you will put all primaries and looks nodes? Before Rec709 conv. node, or after that one?
I would not mind more book recomendations :)
Majority of the display will be re.2020 as standard in 10 years from now

Raw and LOG are similar minus that LOG is baked and RAW is bunch of numbers aka metadata that can be natively changed later.
