Just finished your color grading master class! Thank you for creating it. I clould learn a lot and found mistakes I was doing. Keep up the good work!!! (ps: the colorgrading of the car tutorial... you butchered the sign in the background :-D
Thanks Dylan another great video and I have decided that I am going to push my colour grading skills next year so I have just bought your course! Looking forward to starting 👍
Just bought your masterclass and I cannot wait to be on holidays to start and learn. :) Color grading is really something missing to my set of skills and that is a shame. When we love a channel (even though, I have way less time to watch it), I think it is important to support the content creators we love. You are the best Dylan! ❤
Awesome, Flo! Thanks so much for enrolling 😄 And I greatly appreciate that last sentiment. Seriously. It really means a lot. Awesome creators like you, who support my channel, allow me to keep producing free content.
Thanks for letting me use it, Christian! I’ll send you access to the Filmic Burns Pack and my color grading masterclass in a few hours. Are you already a part of my course by chance?
I have started your Color Grading Masterclass yesterday and I am enjoying so much!!!! I know I sound like an ad 😅 but that is very true. I find it much easier to follow because you have organise the videos so well. Sometimes, as I lack certain knowledge, when watching TH-cam, I didn't understand what the hell you were doing and therefore what I was doing neither. 😂 Now, it is much better. I have only started Module 3 but I thought I would drop by to say how nice it is (really enjoying the little jokes you add through the course). You are an awesome teacher. Making it really easy to follow.
I really appreciate you taking the time to write your thoughts on the course, Flo! 😊 I’m so happy that you’re loving it. Thanks a ton for enrolling and hop you had a great Christmas!
Always loved watching stuff like this and finally decided to treat myself to a camera and now looking at some lenses! By chance clicked on this video as I will be using Final Cut and so glad I did! What a great video! Subscribed and will be spending the rest of the day watching more 😂!
Another great in-depths video, thank you Dylan! With the new updates to FCP 11 would you say that the nature color correction features is almost on par with color finale 2? Now the magnetic masking is pretty much the same of the premiere feature of color finale! I have been following your contents and the pro course for a while now, would you consider making a video on your preferences on the stages of noise correction as a result of coloring? like color pixels and other small details that professional always pay attention to. Big thanks !!!!!!
Thanks so much for watching! It certainly is much much closer. There are a few minor things that I still think make CF2 Pro worth it: the ability to transform LOG footage with ACES color transform option, LOG wheels, the blurring feature on HSL masks, and some other minor things. However with the new magnetic mask and the ability to rename color correction layers, the tools in FCP are much closer. Honestly, if FCP added the ability to blur HSL masks, there's a good chance I would stick to the native tools. The main reason I'd use Color Finale if that happened would be for the ACES conversion. As far as your suggestion at the end of the video, I go over that in the course! Perfecting your correction so you don't have your colors/pixels breaking apart, making your shot look less professional.
Thanks man! Not exactly, but the color correction module is very applicable towards real estate color grading. That section itself should get your shots looking so much better. I’m definitely going to add a dedicated video though because I realize it’s such a common type of video for editors to grade
@@dylanjohndickerson awesome! I saw all of the color grading videos you had and had to purchase the course today! 111 videos, I think should help us grow or skills up! Switching to FCP so still new so I appreciate you pouring your time and energy into building something specifically for color grading. Would definitely appreciate that niche of tutorials in the future. Hope that energy gets back to you tenfold bro!!
@@AerialShotsMedia Awesome! Happy to have you a part of it, brother 👊🏼 thanks so much for enrolling. I hope you learn a ton! Let me know how you're liking the course as your progress on through it.
@@dylanjohndickerson I paid for the course...not happy that there's new-dity in it so far. Also...I'm only into the color theory...do I need to have Color finale pro? At one point, in "The Main UI Panel" you said: "I would not suggest using auto exposure or auto white balance, it doesn't always work and you're taking a color grading masterclass." If I'm taking a color grading masterclass, but relying on outside tools to work for me, it feels like I'm using auto. I've been using FCPX for 5 years now and I'v never worked much with color wheels or any of the other modes, which is why I got this course of yours. I do not want to have to purchase an addon that I have to worry about trying to resync with FCPX with every new update like some of the other plugins. I'm enjoying (for the most part, see the earlier bit) this course, but I want to make sure I can learn with just FCPX. Thanks Dylan.
@@mtamech535 Hey my friend! A lot to take in and I'm slightly confused. Where is there nudity in the course? 😅 I never put anything like that in there. You do not need to buy Color Finale 2 Pro unless you want too. The course fully covers how to color correct and color grade with the tools built right into FCP. You can just skip all of the Color Finale lessons if you want and just watch the FCP ones. Those lessons are there for all the FCP users who have the plugin and/or want to learn more about the plugin. So in summary, there should not be any nudity and you do not need the plugin to take the course and benefit from it. Let me know if you have other questions 😊
@ hey Dylan, thanks for responding. It was in the color video that someone else made to show the collage of colors. Woman laying on bed, guy on top. I know you put a lot into this bro…trust me, I understand…so far this is the greatest color grading tutorial I’ve ever seen and running through it at 1.75 I’ve gained so much already (it’s how my brain works…I have to watch things a couple times…first fast then slow). Again, thank you for responding.
@@mtamech535 Ya wow you're so right. They're far away, but still her top is off. Looks like a scene from 50 Shades of Gray I think. I'll cut that out after the holidays are over. Sorry about that. I think that's a great idea and I really appreciate that kind words 😊 I'm thrilled you're loving it. Enjoy the rest, my friend!
May I ask, how did you learn your overall knowledge of this video editing tool? Has it been throughout all the years you’ve spent utilizing it while searching for new information constantly? Great video man.
How do I change my crop settings to get pure black outside the crop zone? Mine is slightly blacked out but transparent still. because I can still see my entire image my scopes still look like the entire image and not just the cropped area.
@@dylanjohndickerson This is incorrect. The LUT's on Sony's site do not match what you have. And I don't understand LUT's enough to know if what I downloaded from Sony is correct, as it's throwing my colors wildly off when I apply it.
@@meandmestill what I said is not incorrect. A quick search and here's the page for you: www.sony.co.id/en/electronics/support/software/00263050 If you shoot in S-gamut3 cine/s-log 3, use 'Look Profile for Resolve S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3'
@@dylanjohndickerson I appreciate it. It’s odd that it’s not on the first page Google search. Or that it’s labeled ‘Resolve.’ And now that I know what to look for, every result has been Sony’s India, Indonesia, & UK sites. I’m just gonna stick with your paid course. 🤦🏼♂️😁

Just Google ‘Sony S-Log3 to Rec 709 input LUT’. I do provide the LUT for download in my course though. I just don’t have the file or the link now.
Just ordered a camera with log...like 5 minutes ago. I can't wait to use this on it.
