- Density isn't something that is spoken about that much, but it's something that can really bring your image together and what's more, it's easy to do.
In this video I'll show you how to achieve denser colours using the free version of Davinci Resolve and how to use a DCTL to do the same thing, but better.
You can find the DCTL in the link below
• Color Shift v2 - DaVin...

I want to help you become a better colourist in DaVinci Resolve but also teach you the ins and out of this amazing software. We talk about about colour grading. editing and someone simple tricks that will help you get the most out of this amazing software.
Davinci Resolve can be intimidating when you first open it up, but I assure you with some basic lessons and some know how from someone who's been using it for years, you'll be set in no time.
Colour grading, editing and solid tips, its all in there. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Always helpful and informative. Thanks!
Cheers mate, thx for watching and commenting. Next video is a great one on grading under a film lut.
A helpful and easy thing to add to my node tree. Cheers
Cheers mate
I used this trick the other day, it works so well!
She works like a treat
Great video mate, thank you
Cheers for watching
This is awesome! Thank you!
Cheers mate, appreciate that. Next week I'll show you the grade for it.

This is really interesting, the RGB Mixer technique is really great. One question though, does the RGB Mixer node need to be added before or after a specific node? Or it doesn't really matter?
Well it needs to be added after the first cst and before the last. Towards the later end of your node tree I'd say. Don't put it in a parallel mixer, you may have funky results. Have tried but some things don't work well in a mixer.
Cheers for question 🤟 and watching
@@GreenGoatProductions I understand that part, thank you. However, I was actually directing my question to nodes in between the cst's
Thank you very much.. how can I get DCTL plugin ?
Cheer mate, you can buy the plugin from mononodes.com . I'm not sponsored by him or even know him, I just think his plugin is great. Thanks for watching and commenting.
as shown at 2;40👆 minutes time on this video, i cant find blending mode option clicking right on node in Resolve. do i need to enable it from somewhere ?
If you don't have it, you probably have an older version of resolve. Give it an update and update and it should be all good.
i didn't know this was a thing, untill I saw this. Thanks for using the free version of resolve to!
Yeah it's great
Yeah Boi!
Yeah Indeed
Amazing video !! Can we get the footage? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Not this footage, but there's some footage coming up that you'll be able to download. Thx for watching and commenting
@@GreenGoatProductions tyy 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
👍
Hi, great information. I just wonder about something. I guess your timeline color spec should be Davinci Wide Gamut and not Rec 709 at 2.15 min. because the nodes you are working on are in Wide Gamut. That's what I have learned from Cullen Kelly.
Cheers Richard
Thanks for the comment. The video is correct. Your last node should be outputting to rec709 gamma 2.4. Your first colour space transform should be DaVinci wide gamut.
Thanks for watching and commenting 🤟
@@GreenGoatProductions That's correct.
Perhaps you did not get my point. The first node is wide gamut and the last node from Wide Gamut to Rec 709 gamma2.4. But the timeline color space you are working on is than in fact Wide Gamut. You are not working on Rec 709 because only on the last node it becomes Rec 709 for export. That's what I learned from Cullen Kelly and Darren Mostyn the colorist.
Cheers Richard
This is not to be rude, but I think they may be a little confused. Thr time line node is the node and it's setup for rec709 output. Same as Cullen Kelly And Darren Mostyn
Looking great, unfortunately just don't have that "composite mode" option underneath "add matte" when I right click on the node
I'm pretty sure everyone should have it, free version or paid. Highlight your node, right click. Scroll all the way down to composite mode and choose luminosity. Surely it has to be there right? Let me know if not and I'll think of a way around it.
@@GreenGoatProductions same problem here! anyone found a workaround?
Are you in the timeline node or the clip node? It might not work when you're working in the timeline node.
@@GreenGoatProductions ok, my fault, I did not understand it was a feature of 18.5 version😅
Ahhhh ok, sorry I forgot that. That's great, for you and me. For me, because I'm going to give away free Arri footage and show a grade using split tones and density. Cheers for the both of us 🥂
Nice - but dude you gotta hit the z key to fit the image to the full height of the player!
Cheers mate, I'm not sure what you mean about the player. Ctrl F makes it full screen but maybe I'm missing what you mean ?
@@GreenGoatProductions just the smaller player in the color page. I'm just giving you a hard time about not making it as big as possible for the video. Z key makes it fit the window.
@_trismegistus ahhhh ok, ha, Cheers mate. Nice tip and cheers for the comment
earned a sub from me 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥
Cheers mate 🤟
Nice vid, hoping for a grading video next time!
Next one is using a film emulation lut. It's a good one
Why use cst? Why not just the inbuilt gen5 lut on the node?
Good question. The cst is used so you can work in a wider colour space. Then the last node you use a cst to output as a rec 709
@@GreenGoatProductionsOk, thanks! Another question, where exactly were you limited by rec709 in grading this? Im moving from final cut which I understand is rec709 in the timeline as well, but I have never really felt limited by the colorspace yet. So just trying to understand. And isnt the last node active all the time? Then arent you viewing rec709 anyway when grading in this example?
Good question. It's a bit tricky to explain, but think of it like a bigger bucket. You can fit more in, which gets jammed into a smaller bucket at the end. Everything that happens before the last CST is working in a wider colour space. You can do a test where you can push your image to the top of the whites (don't clip) with DaVinci wide gamut. Change it to rec 709 and you'll see you have less latitude. Hope that helps, sorry for the poor explanation.
@@GreenGoatProductions Yeah, but if you keep the last node active all the time, as in the video, then what is the point? Then you always view in rec709 anyway?
The rec709 is the last node. Anything before that is a wider colour space.
why all gets black white whenn I check monochrome ?
Did you change your node to luminosity?
@@GreenGoatProductions ouu I missed this part🤦♂ thank you!
Hahaha all good mate
I rly do not understand... in some tuts CST stays in start in enother at the end in other enother there are several of them.. I also have BMPC 6k and in every tut CST making in different ways... I realy do not know which one of them is correct.... and its only BMPC and what about other cams??? it is tottaly hell... how do I can be sure about what I need in this or that camera? ... sorry for emotions and bad english..
Your English is good mate, don't worry. Your first cst is for your camera to DaVinci wide gamut or any other space you want to work in. Your last node should be another cst. Taking your colour space to rec 709 gamma 2.4 or 2.2. the only thing that ever changes is your first cst in terms of what camera you're using. I have videos on colour management with certain cameras on my channel. Bmpcc6k is coming up. Hope this helps.
What exactly does film density mean?
Hard to explain. It gives your colours a fuller look to them. By adding or subtracting light. Hope that makes sense.
@@GreenGoatProductions Thanks! Is that similar to using HSV to change saturation? With HSV I can't change each of the RGB channel though.
Yeah kind of. If you wanted to use RGB for saturation with HSV. Take off channel 1 and 3 by right clicking that node. Have a play around with it then. You'll get better results
AWESOME TRICKS DENSITY Consider the practical applications of the different color spaces HSV, HSL, LAB, YUV and others. You can do interesting things there too. Thanks
Yeah solid point mate. Resolve has endless possibilities.
