I literally thought, to see you nice 🤦🏻♀️ Have to watch this later, but how cool that you two got together! Looking forward to understanding one word in three 😂
Big thanks to Darren for having me! Make sure to go give him a follow: www.youtube.com/@DarrenMostyn The two Darren recommends when talking about Luts are: Jason Bowdach - pixeltoolspost.com/ Cullen Kelly - www.youtube.com/@CullenKelly
I’ve learned so much from Darren. I like what he said about adding nodes.: “If I stop and think, ‘what should I do next?’ then I add another node”. Great advice.
I can honestly say that both yourself and Darren have been the most influential and helpful with my Davinci Resolve roller-coaster self-discovery journey. You are a Jedi on the Edit Page and Darren is "The GOAT" when it comes to the Colour Page. Thank you gentlemen😀
Dude. You're one of the people I owe for getting my current job. Have been following you since 2021 and you basically helped me to achieve my current skill at Resolve ( and I still have a LOOOOT of space for improvement). Sincerely, THANK YOU!
Thanks Alex. Great interview 👍 Darren is a fantastic colourist who I have learnt lots from. Brighton brought back memories from when we lived in the UK not far from Brighton (2005-2015) . Also did Brighton University on the Open University Bsc summer time back in the 90ies. I still miss a good English breakfast & the Fish and Chips. 😊
This was great - I've got a better sense about simplifying the process, and trying to build my 'film emulation' skills myself. Next year, maybe I will take Darren's course❤
For some reason I hadn't watched this video. I have started watching Darren's videos a short while ago, and like you Alex he is great at delivering info in an easy to understand way. Last weekend I met up with a group of people who I only knew on line and we all got on well and it felt like greeting old acquaintances.
That was great. Good interview with great questions. The Fish n Chips sign - Being a Canadian, can't believe that the sign included "mushy peas". That sounds disgusting to admit having at all. Nevermind putting it on the sign. lol. The fixed node question to Darren. If people don't use fixed nodes, another reason that pros use them, is to have nodes that usually require setting up each time to your preference, available just by turning on the node. So if you use any OFX effects, like Glowe or halation, or whatever - setting up the parameters everytime from scratch is kind of a waste of time. So a fixed node tree is like having your own presets ready to go, on any clip, at anytime you require it- you just need to turn them on. Resolve engineers a few versions ago, re-engineered so that nodes turned off, are using pretty much none of your resources. So building a fixed node tree now, has a huge benefit. It can get complicated though and look more menacing than it actually is, but in all software use - if it seems like you spend a lot of time doing the same thing over and over ( like setting up effects, or even color warper etc. ) there probably is a better and faster approach. Fixed node trees is a great example of this.
Cheers Jim. Mushy peas is more a northern England thing (my manor) so not sure why !! Agreed fixed node tree is to keep deactivated nodes that need a lot of set up! eg. NR, Glow.
I missed the "live" release... I was anxious to see you both in the same video, you guys are the reason I got the Speed Editor + Studio licence. Do I really need it? Nope. Do I regret buying it? Nope, it makes editing multiple viewpoints Forza Horizon 5 races so much easier. If you want to dip your toes in the Stream Deck pool, the Mobile app 2.0 (recently released on iOS and soon on Android) allows 6 buttons for free. Then you can unlock the full app for 60€. On the iPad in split view you can fit 2x 64 buttons.
I'm quite new to video editing, focusing mainly on creating videos from my motorcycle trips. I've realized that only someone as skilled as Darren could truly enhance the colors in them.
The floorboards caught my eye. I picture him up late at night doing massive amounts of blow, grading like a maniac! I would definitely use a mat or a rug, but then again that's why he's a colorist and I'm not. I am just a typical TH-cam commenter obsessing over minutiae. hahaah owesome vid either way!
Two of my top resources together, thank you. However ... Darren says I do not need him for my YT channel???? WRONG! I have a 'psychedelic' color genre, and Darren's channel has provided GREAT guidance to ease my effort (even the little things are big for me). And, of course, MrAlexTech's '5 Minute Fridays' playlist is a massive quick reference resource. I repeat watch videos on both of these channels soo much that I have probably provided half of their total views (haha). Thank you both. (In fact these are two channels I have 'rewarded' by subscribing multiple times via my other channels! Gotta keep 'em motivated.)
Great episode Alex, your the local lad doing good. Directing my first feature. I am cameraman, editor, vfx, colourist and doing all the audio mixing. All in resolve and maybe Fusion studio. I will be using Nuendo 12 in the pipeline. But watching yourself, Darren, Casey, and others not so well known, has given me the confidence to take on this massive undertaking on. So I would like to take this opertunity to thank you and the other guys. And when I get stuck I will be referring back to you guys for help 😁
Great video! It was full of great info that is very pertinent to what we all want to know. Also, both of your personalities are great and it's nice to hang out with such congenial guys. Thanks for this!!! Who are the people that Darren mentioned who create really nice LUTs? I got Jason Bawdach but missed the other's name. Thanks!!
I was going to ask about LUT's, which I guess that stands for Lazy User Tools. I just found your video from 2020 on the subject, which I'm going to watch again. Another great video thanks for your efforts.
Great episode. Love each of your channels. Quick question regarding CST: Does it make any difference in quality or grading options to use it (or a wide color space, for that matter) if all the camera footage is Rec709?
That was CHOCK full of goodness! Have to pass on the boring fish and chips though. Maybe some curry next time to spice it up a little and then color grade the curry to look like curry....8-) Actually, I really enjoyed this and thank you, Darren, for sharing your knowledge and experience! I already subscribed to your channel too.
Telephone IT Support now finished for a 70+ year old friend who knows nothing about computers. I shall now watch this and unwind from pulling all my hair out.
Where does the LUT get applied if using the CST node? I've seen creators swear it goes under or before the CST node, then creators apply it last after the CST.
@@DarrenMostyn that’ll be very helpful. I only use my tablet in photoshop. Will be nice to incorporate it into my video editing as well. Thanks for considering.
Darren M & Mr Alex make a great team, both in the studio and the outdoor pub. Easily watchable and enjoyable! Thank you guys!
Great to see Darren Mostyn featured. Excellent interview filled with a wealth of information.
Stefan - come and see me in Brighton! you are so welcome anytime!
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks for the invite, Darren! Much appreciated.
I'm loving this collab from 1 minute in!
I literally thought, to see you nice 🤦🏻♀️
Have to watch this later, but how cool that you two got together! Looking forward to understanding one word in three 😂
Great video @DarrenMostyn and @MrAlexTech
Loved the questions, answers and the whole format. Awesome stuff :)
Darren is an amazing colorist is video where he turns bad footage into good footage is awesome!!! A miracle worker really
Big thanks to Darren for having me! Make sure to go give him a follow: www.youtube.com/@DarrenMostyn
The two Darren recommends when talking about Luts are:
Jason Bowdach - pixeltoolspost.com/
Cullen Kelly - www.youtube.com/@CullenKelly
What about the Leeming LUTs?
My two favourite content creators on the platform. I can’t watch this now, but look forward to diving in later.
Two of my favourite Tubers (is that the right term) in the same room. The result was destined to be awesome. Thanks guys.
OMG is so nice to see THE BEST british Davinci editors in same video!
Loved having Alex down to se me - we had a great few days!
two of my favourite colorists/DR specialists in one room - come on!! 🔥
Wow, two of my favorite instructors in one place. Fantastic.
Love it, great video guys! Looking forward to seeing you both soon!
see you soon @Jason
I’ve learned so much from Darren. I like what he said about adding nodes.: “If I stop and think, ‘what should I do next?’ then I add another node”. Great advice.
It's a good tip! thanks
Omigod this is an INCREDIBLE episode! The first 4 minutes when he talks about his story are stars.
🤩
Two of my most watched channels put in one 😃. Thanks for this.
Darren is just real cool guy! Loving his channel from the start.
He is! He's a great dude
🙏
I can honestly say that both yourself and Darren have been the most influential and helpful with my Davinci Resolve roller-coaster self-discovery journey.
You are a Jedi on the Edit Page and Darren is "The GOAT" when it comes to the Colour Page.
Thank you gentlemen😀
Stop gushing 🤣🤣
Frank - you are legend!!
THAT, was a highly informative interview! Thanks, Alex!
What a gift to see two admired people in one video
Fabulous to see you two together -
Awesome video! Both are super cool and informative channels! Congrats on the video.
killer collab, you two guys are my only two Davinci go-to's.
Very nice video , i watch everything from you and darren
Wonderful video :) Two of my favorite Davinci TH-camrs in the same video. And so nice to see collabs like this!
Dude. You're one of the people I owe for getting my current job. Have been following you since 2021 and you basically helped me to achieve my current skill at Resolve ( and I still have a LOOOOT of space for improvement).
Sincerely, THANK YOU!
Wow. Two of my favorite Resolve content creators in one video. Great collab. Thanks.
I look 'standard' at 3 color masters. Darren is one of them.
and who’s other two?
@@natuna23
Thanks for the question.
The NUMBER 1 is (for me) ~CullenKelly and ~colorgradinginsights in no particular order along with Darren.
Editing and color together. Awesome video Alex. Love Darren! The color grade is my favorite part of the video process!!
Thank you Alex & Darren as I have learnt so much from this Video, keep up the good work guys.
I. Love. This! I've been following both of you for a year and this collab is just perfect !!!!
Thanks Alex. Great interview 👍 Darren is a fantastic colourist who I have learnt lots from. Brighton brought back memories from when we lived in the UK not far from Brighton (2005-2015) .

Nice to see Alex humbled by his talent
How awesome to see to #ResolveGods together - and both such cool guys too 😁🤟
Great video, Alex 🤟
two of my fav resolve colourists, ...loved the chat and advice, Darren your new TH-cam T shirt should say "i've got an Ep on that"
Will consider that Graham - I think same can be said of Mr Alex Tech on the editing side!! "we've got an ep on that" ?
This was great - I've got a better sense about simplifying the process, and trying to build my 'film emulation' skills myself. Next year, maybe I will take Darren's course❤
Been watching both of you for a long time. Good to see you guys collaborate.
one of the videos that I saw in a while, thanks, guys.
Thank you Alex for introducing us to another great person to follow on YT ❤
Thank you Alex & Darren, I have been taking your advice some time, but I am still growing & learning thanks to you both.
Great episode! I feel I learned quite a bit 😊
Nice crossover episode! Watch you both when you post !

Mushy peas with fish and chips gives us part of our 5 a day veg!
@@johnw65uk Yes, we use ketchup for that - and Chips are potatoes. That counts as a vegetable , doesn't it?

Good to see Darren and thanks for this video.
When 2 masters meet each other, the best part is 25:09 😊😊😊
That was my favourite part too!
I'm quite new to video editing, focusing mainly on creating videos from my motorcycle trips. I've realized that only someone as skilled as Darren could truly enhance the colors in them.
You can too with practise!
That was amazing, I love the questions.
Great vid! I've learned so much from Darren's channel.
This is the most epic crossover I saw in long time! Love you guys!
Great team, both nice guys!
I follow both of you guys, it’s good to see you together. 🎉

the floorboards need re-doinng fr sure - but they have seem some mileage from those Herman Miller chairs! Luv your comment!
Two of my favorites in one video. Superb! Thanks to you both for all the knowledge and enthusiasm.
Was fun having @mralextech down for a visit!
Darren is the best!
Thanks, guys
fresh one Alex and Daren.. that's we like and useful perspectives !! for sure a next one !!

I may very well have been in Brighton at the same time as you. I was there a few weeks ago
Great video, will subscribe to Darren as colour is always something I fail to understand when learning editing.
Thank you
My two favorite yt teachers together! Yay!
Darren was the reason i was able to make the switch
pleased to hear that I helped!
Pleased to hear I could help.
The perfect couple:)
Thank you! This was a great talk of the two great people who’s channels became the inspiration to start my own channel ❤
good luck with your own channel @denysLukoshkin its hard work but worth it!
@@DarrenMostyn Thank yuo and congrats with 100K!

Thank you!
This was great
Great Stuff!

Loving the chemistry xD
Nice! 👍🏼
this was great. We'll get Darren to 100k lol Can we get more3 like this, maybe with an audio guy which is my personal achilies heel
Thank you

I’d pay to have a session with this fella to improve my outputs from indoor drone tours.
what a great video
Thanks!
I was going to ask about LUT's, which I guess that stands for Lazy User Tools. I just found your video from 2020 on the subject, which I'm going to watch again. Another great video thanks for your efforts.
Well made LUTS are actually incredibly powerful. Bad made LUTs will trip you up eventually!
what I learned today is that Mr Alex and Darren are actually brothers.
Great episode. Love each of your channels. Quick question regarding CST: Does it make any difference in quality or grading options to use it (or a wide color space, for that matter) if all the camera footage is Rec709?
This Is Quality Content 100% Worth Time

Whats the name of the other content creator/colourist Darren mentioned after Cullen Kelly?

Does Darren have a video that shows how he sets up his pen and tab for davinci?
no I dont. will put it on my list!
