Fun fact, you don’t have to use parallel nodes to achieve this. You can also just adjust the teal in the Primaries - Color Wheels, then bump up the orange in the Curves - Hue vs Sat - all on the same node 😗
i’m very proud theres someone like you in our locals sharing knowledge about color grading!! everytime i see your video i go straight to my laptop and start grade!! you inspire me to do more🥹
Good one Danny - the only thing I would add is if you want to clean the blacks that when going into the LOG wheels that to make sure you only target the darkest shadows to negate the strength of the blue that you can use the range numbers that default at .333 to a lower which expands the Midtone but also decreases the range on the Shadow - so you can dial the point where your blue starts and stops. You can also do this to make whites whiter as well with the same principle of pushing up the range of the Midtone you can decide where the change happens in the Highlights.
That's great, thanks for sharing! I've never been a huge skin qualifier person myself as it gets way too complicated across an entire video, so I'm always looking for ways to avoid using it if possible
Interesting technique. The end result looks good! One thing you might want to adjust is where your project settings say "DWG". It seems you are grading in RED, and if your timeline colorspace isn't set to that.Your color space aware tools aren't going to work properly
Hey Runhaar! Thanks for watching my tut, love your videos as well. I did a few tests on the CST IN/OUT method, and boy do I have to switch up my workflow again haha. I'm gonna have to explain myself in a future video, thanks for pointing that out!
Just realized I too have been working in RED colour space but DWG timeline colour space (exactly the same set up as yours actually!) Image and tools haven't behaved any differently to my knowledge. would be great to see a follow up on this @@DannyGan
Adding an IN/OUT (RED-DWG) CST to the beginning of the node tree just expands contrast on the image slightly @@DannyGan . Which makes sense as its pulling a smaller colour space and expanding it into a larger one. I think I prefer how the image looks and behaves without the CST to be honest (queue barrage of hate comments for improper workflow...)😶🌫
wow! very simple! Especially the parallel node, never knew that's how it works! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Compared to Waqas recent TUT, it's like he's gatekeeping. It's like, first do this basic, then don't do this basic. confused... But don't get me wrong, I still find some of his stuff very very useful that I still use to this day!
Gosh! I LOVED thed highlight preservation the way you did it!!! maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! Thank you for sharing = )~
very good i will have to keep for reference, i see so many colorist bring in a dark skinned person and try to justify skin tones and i am like wth, how many skin tones can you get with black, anyway thanks for a great tut.
Rec709-A because I'm using MacOS which doesn't tag Gamma 2.4 by default. There's a longer explaination but I'm not capable to explain it clearly because it involves some history and coding theory. I don't usually do Gamma 2.2 although delivering for web because it's "safer" to always deliver Gamma 2.4 as it is still the most widely used/viewed output gamma. Hope this helps!
hi! Very interesting, I will try this! To preserve blacks and whites I use the sat/lum curve, pulling down saturation to zero below 10 and over 90% luminance. What do you think about this method?
The parallel node will not help in NOT affecting everything in the image that is close to skin tone. I don't see it as a way around masking / qualifying. Am I missing something?
The general idea coming into this video is to have an efficient way of doing the orange and teal look, efficient as in it can be applied to all the clips in the timeline without tweaking it individually. This is crucial for designing looks. As to your point, you are right. This is not meant to only select out the skintone of every clip. Although it is “more contained” to the skintone, but that would be tedious and time-consuming. Hence why a general macro application of a creative look is better if you have a timeline of 2000+ clips.
this is my first time color grading and your method was exactly what I needed as I didn't want to use the qualifier and track my hand for each clip, but i'm running into some trouble with the step of recovering the skin color, when I try to recover the skin color in the hue vs. sat curve, it is altering all the blue I added in the look node. upon reviewing your video, only the skin changes, but mine changes everything, what am I missing?!
Fun fact, you don’t have to use parallel nodes to achieve this.

I like your technique better in the video, somehow feels like it blends better
I feel like I found a hidden gem

Appreciate it man! 🙌🏻
Work smarter, not harder. Fantastic Mr. Gan.

Nice one, I'll look into that 🙌🏻
Is there a video on this?

What a beautiful tip! Thank you.
I came here from TikTok I like your way or teaching ❤❤ just upload these type of videos so we can learn from you thanks❤❤❤
Excellent and simple grade! Thanks for sharing
The result looks very good
thanks for sharing, easy to understand and straight to the point
Great stuff. Tim Stipan colored Ozark, and he is a friend, really great dude.
Mr Gan with the magic touch
it s mind blowing how easy it was, thankyou man
I will try it next time I open Resolve. Thanks man 🙏
I asked how they do color grading. Now I'm impressed 🔥🐐
Watching a master explain his thoughts! Thanks for the content.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I finally achieved the look I ve been trying for a lot of time
Beautiful!
The footage looks amazing, I can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for a very good tutorial.
This is what I have been searching for.. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for giving all your knowledge! I’m a camera operator who wants to grade his own shots sometimes to see what is possible and this is perfect!
You're a genius! Thank you for sharing!!
So simple and effective, nicely done!
Great technique, basics are king.
Amazing technique, very smart way of using the parallel nodes. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome your color grading technic!
That's great, thanks for sharing! I've never been a huge skin qualifier person myself as it gets way too complicated across an entire video, so I'm always looking for ways to avoid using it if possible
Great one Danny really loved the fact that it is not at all messy and precise to the point with nodes it was really helpful.
Hi Danny! Just wanted to say that your approach is great, and I really like you color grading channel 👍Good stuff.
Awesome! Thank you!
damm this looks good, Danny the beasttt
dude i love your content, thanks for sharing!!

@@DannyGan And please also give a detailed explainer an all that stuff, because that's still very confusing to me and probably many other people :D

Tbh I'm a little confused with his recent tutorials too
Great tip! Will definitely try it out

subbed and liked ,great video
Wow bro, thanks :)
Thanks bro
good man
We neeed more gem

I like the brfore
Muchas gracias
NICE LOOK 👍👈👏
Thanks 🤗
tnx alot
Why Rec709-A and not gamma 2.2 or 2.4 (depending on your output)?

Might be too much warm colors in the shot, try reducing the skin recovery and find a balance there
do youhave a video on how to use the parallel nodes?
