About:
I am a professional colorist and have worked with brands such as Prime Video, Adidas, Toyota, Vizio, etc. Outside client work, I run a color academy with over 6000 students. My channel mostly focuses on the taste-making (subjective) aspect of color grading. With the rise of AI, I truly believe that most of the grunt, technical (how-to) tasks will be handled by the software, and the job of a colorist will be purely driven by their art and imagination.

I still can’t believe this man puts this out FOR FREE! Such a Great Guy!
Welcome Bro he has been dropping amazing tutorials here and his webnars try join his webnar class you will be speechless he is extremely good on this my name is Onyedika Harrison just happy to see my tribe here
🙏🏾
You are such an amazing tutor i always never want to miss any of your class wish i could do more to appreciate you Quaziman i love this couldn't believe one can push this so far from FX30 notwithstanding am still in love with FX3 due to its dynamic range and AF system
easily the best channel i've run into in a veeeery long time. literally can't stop watching (and obviously learning) all of ur f videos man. keep it up. much love and appreciation all the way from spain :)
This channel has always been a motivation for me and helped me taking my skills to another level Thank you .
Qazi best one out here with awesome color grading tutorials. Love it. Keep it up!
It is unbelievable how much I learnt while watching this. Amazing content. Thank you so much
As someone who works with film, I gotta tell you: you should desaturate your grain. Film grain doesn't shift color like your plugin does. You probably see it in film scanned images because of the digital scanner. But in the actual negative, it's grain is basically the color of what you have. If you had a white wall with your plugin as you left, there would be color spots combined in the wall. In actual film, the white wall would be all white grain spots because it's more texture than anything else.
Wow nice.....explain a bit more if you will....
That's informative, but also confusing. I know there's four layers within film including the rem jet, but each of them have different crystal sizes, so would that effect the grains color?
You're arguing personal preference which is nonsensical.
@@blokout I don't think he meant to disrespect quazi in any way, I think he was just adding onto the information within the video about how someone would go about adding grain for a more realistic film look. I could be wrong, but I didn't think this seemed disrespectful or as arguing personal preference.
@@fujicinema It actually doesn't. You should look at grain as a desaturated sand overlay on the image. The grains of sand are different depending on the film but each grain only has the color of the image it's representing. So if you have an image of a clean red wall, Kodak Vision film for motion pictures would have one size and type of grain while Kodak Portra or Gold would have a different size and type of grain, but all of the grains of sand (as you could call them) would be red. That's why people that know the stuff usually complain about digital noise, because digital noise doesn't do that. Digital noise actually does what Qazi showed in the image, it adds color spots that depending on different factors look ugly because it's like seeing a leopard with tiny red/green/blue squared spots or go unnoticed. And the worst part is that, digital noise (the same as grain) changes the position in each frame. So in motion pictures, digital noise changes the position of those red/green/blue spots in each frame, making it more noticeable. That's why if you use DaVinci's internal grain effect it doesn't look like Qazi's external plugin, because the grain DaVinci adds has a texture without colors while in Qazi's plugin you have to desaturate that texture manually.
Again, great video anyways, just something I saw that didn't fit and that I had watched him do properly before.
Amazing. Sony always did a great job on codecs to get the max out of the camera, but this is a new level. Thanks for this video 🙏
Amazing content, rich in knowledge with everything broken down step by step. Thanks a lot !
Que buen Tutorial, estaba esperando que alguien haga un vídeo así con material de la FX30... Great Tutorial!
This is the video I didn’t know I needed. Amazing job.
I learned so much from this. Great video!
Hey Qazi, very informative! It would be nice to see you do a similar test with footage from the Fujifilm X-H2s one day.
Haven’t watched any colour grading videos in a while. I learned a lot from this. Thanks!
Yeah, I'm glad he posted again :)
Happy to do it.
Qazi is the Gem and a great Teacher. You are the reason I have leveled up Color Grading game and I still feel like ameature no matter how much I come far along.
That was MIND BLOWING !!! You're truly a master-colorist and your skills are superb! Please keep it up!
Love you back bro 😀
Really appreciate your channel man. You do a great job teaching.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for your efforts.
Uno de los mejores tutoriales que he visto en mi vida!!!😀
Amazed by the end result ! The subtle HSL moves made all the difference ^^
Ik. Made such a big difference and changed the entire vibe.
Color Warper is also very useful, I use it a lot to make subtle shifts for specific hues, it seems to me that it is less prone to create artifacts
Awesome video! Its good to see that a "cheaper" camera still holds quality. I would definitely like to see a comparison between the sony fx30, fujifilm XH2, and bmpcc6k.
I love Fuji and black magic cameras! I'd love to see the Sony Venice since it was used on top gun and now on the new avatar! Btw I have the Fuji xt3 😂
So what camera do you bought?😊
Bravo ❤ love these videos my brother
One of the things that occurred to me as I watched this video is how similar colour correction and the aesthetic of the colorist is to the mix engineer in music. That leaves me to think about what would happen if the colorist and mix engineer, one pushing and pulling, crafting and enhancing the image, the other the music and sound, coordinated their efforts in such a fashion as to enhance each others domain. And if there is a corresponding aural science that complements the colour science psychologically.
So Delicious Qazi! Thank you for making this!
Of course. 😀
Ohh pretty excited for this one ! I like this format :D
😀
Thanks so much for sharing this
Excellent tutorial and demonstration of some of the FX30's power. I've actually preordered the FX30, and this makes me feel even better. Also, I believe the FX30 has a 26MP sensor. Thanks so much.
Congrats! That's exciting.
26MP sensor for stills. For video it's 20.1MP effective because it's locked to 16:9
Have you received your FX30? I have been looking for one and they are all on backorder everywhere.
Great content as always, is there a chance you show us how to grade a GoPro footage? Would be very interesting.
Man, this guy is awesome 👏👏👏
This is what the community need not the "I got the camera from sony to make a review about the specs" type of video! Thanks Qazi!
This and real world shot tests and studio tests. Like a dynamic range chart and color chart.
yes!
Damn this is such a helpfull video!!
Brilliant thanks.👍
Really good content!
Please upload color grading on Sony A7iv footage
big fan of you sir..!!!
I have learned so much from you Waqas.
Happy to help brother.
Shift+Lasso ♥️
Awesome tutorial & look.
This was great, thank you! What makes you decide if you're running an ACES pipeline or not?
nothing in particular. I’m always trying to show you guys different ways to grade.
Hey Qazi! It would be amazing if you did Black Magic 4k/6K or GH5 in trying to achieve the new Witcher trailer look in Blood Origins! Great colour grade!
Very impressive!
This video made me a subscriber!
I think I'll be hooked.
Let's go!
Sorry but this is how i am editing my next music vid, i will surely give all the credit cause this is next level bro.
Happy Holidays Qazi. I am trying step by step what you are doing in this video and for some reason my clip in the timeline still looks Slog but the preview looks like it has a LUT. Do you know what might be causing this issue. Thanks
I’d love for you to do a video on the Arri Alexa 35. Test out those 17 stops of dynamic range.
That and also each of the different recording styles, I'd like to see how each one performs in post!
Can you do an in depth review of Boris effects?
Waqas Qazi could you tell me (or someone else can) why you used ACEScct color space not a Davinci Wide Gamut?
Hey, good video. For future videos i would recommend a editing s
Nice one! Please, make more tutorials like this one, creating a look from scratch, without luts.
Will do
@Qazi, can you do a grade for Panasonic Gh5 V0log please? we are so much struggling here
I think Dahmer series from Netflix created some amazing color Thame from recent time. Everybody needs to check it out
Hi ! This technique work in Mac M2? Thanks for you videos
Amazing work! Have you also done similar testing against Sony A1 cinema footage?
Not yet
Great tutorial! I’m a 3d motion designer and in similar way you also want to add that difusión to you highlights, grain, chromatic aberration etc to simulate a film look. I’m starting to dive into video production and color grading. Could we download the test footage to practice? I preordered the fx30 and would love to get my hands on a well lit and shot footage to practice. Cheers!
The only way to get test footage is if you sign up for my MasterClass link in the description check it out.
is there a video or explanation to why he uses aces transform and not cst to go straight from slog to rec709?
Hi, Congratulations on the tutorial. I have encountered a problem in performing the same procedure of colo management and ACES TRANSFORM. I use clips from sony a7sIII and a7IV but once I set the settings you indicate in the video in the color management, my clips convert from flat log to an already converted color profile. If I then continue with your tutorial, a sort of double coloring occurs and the result is hyper saturated and burnt colors. I don't understand, is it maybe the update of davinci resolve 18.0.3?
Same issue! Don’t know why !
Nice work
hi Qazi can u tell me how to get prefect black tone...? thanks
I'm interested in knowing if LUTs can be the shortcut to this good of color grading? Like if you are in a hurry, yet you know what you want already? I mean not the sections of work done here, but the over-all color palette?
I've tried this with 8 bit footage. Now i know the difference :P
😂
Legendddddd
why did you do the qualifiers and windows nodes before the "c curve{" node? does it make a difference if you do them after? just wondering because i do those after the c curve node usually
epic man
Could you do a grade using Fuji Xh2s Footage? Would be sweet! It's a compact beaaaast!
Yeah, with 14 stops of dynamic range now! I have a Fuji xt3 and using the eternal lut already gives me so much detail from the shadows to the highlights. I'd love to see the xh2s footage and how it's graded!
P.s. do you have the Fuji xh2 or something else?
I just purchase the fx30, and I shot in cine Ei at both the base iso, but I got a lot of noise in the shadows. Did these images have a lot of noise? Any work around that could help get some of that nose out, beside using the noise reduction effect tool in da Vinci
THIS is dope.
waqaz just want to ask why i dont have the timeline color space option?
I think it'd be good to mention that this camera can do more (or less) than 10-bit color - however to do 12+ bit it takes external recording on a compatible monitor. You leave us assuming the camera operator chose 10-bit color, and don't mention the compression or other recording profiles at all. Those can also affect how far you can push the footage in Resolve.
Honestly I think that if you want to push your look so much more then this you should first change your lights and composition before shooting at all...
@@NuwandaSM I agree, though 8 but would be hard even for a simple look since banding can be present in some shots. Honestly anything 10 bit plus usually is enough for a simple grade, though higher bitrates could be used if you really want to push it for a creative effect you can't get in camera. I do agree in camera would be the best way though
How far you can push the color depends on your skill and knowledge whether its 8bit, 10bit or 12bit raw! I think he was doing a test on how far you can push the 10bit aspect on the Sony FX30 before it falls apart. The reality is that Resolve allows you to also push an 8bit video without seeing any color banding if you use the right tools and avoid using destructive methods like pulling color qualifiers and messing with the Saturation wheel.
I wanted some of THIS, to change my a7iii for this little beast (a7iii only for photos, not gonna sell it lol), Qazi, my man, you convinced me lol
Let's go! 💪🏾
LETS GOOOOOOO
BRAVO
Hey ! Do you thing this cinema camera is able to take sport photography ?
Hey Qazi, im curious if you noticed what I think is a red channel clipping issue in the FX30 like blackmagic had in the 4k cameras before Gen 5?
I didn't notice that.
Can you do one of these for the Lumix S5?
Please! Grade Fujifilm xh2s videos❤
Channel and brand image has very clean very professional aesthetic
😀🙏🏾
This is awesome! can't you start a series where you walk through cameras and the image quality from a colorist standpoint? that would be awesome! Maybe start with the C70🙄
Will do. Got tons of episodes lined up. 😀
@@theqazman Wohooo! awesome! i know what im watching in the future! also awesome work as always! 😀
Why sometimes you put input and output device transform and other times you put only in the last node?
thanks
14:29 next level stuff
I don't understand why it's in the video
Lol! I was so into this video and this exact moment caught me off guard 😂
Awesome
Can anyone explain to me why my S1H records 4K 10Bit Footage with more Noise than Pixels?? Waveform looks good, Exposure and Zebras look fine and still my full frame 10Bit Panasonic Footage looks noisier than my 8Bit Sony a6500 that I used to shoot on.
?!?! Even in bright daylight, there‘s noise in the shadows???
Why when Im changing Timeline color space to ACEScct my slog footage become rec709? (contrasted and saturated without any nodes applied)
that color gradins was Beautiful
😀
Hello where can we download the footage to test it?
Just subscribed… good stuff
Thank you
how to train with this vedio where i can download, i just a little english ,please tell me,how to download it. thank u
Thanks for the free training very good video but at the end never redirect me to the free download material.
What can we know about the video bitrate? It was shot on 600mbit?
Would this be the same process if the footage was shot on the FX3? I've recently purchased one and have been trying to figure out the best coloring process for the footage to maximize the potential - would love some insight
Pretty much
Does your course teach how to match footage between cameras (blackmagic and sony)?
Yes, it does. There's a whole module on that.
Holy shit, brother. Wow
The fact that this was lit pretty well makes all the difference. An FX30 with a properly lit scene will look better than way more expensive cameras with bad lighting.
Why select DaVinci yrgb and not aces?
Please Sony A7iv footage thanks
Hey qazman just try sigma fp colour grading
I have a question, why let it the chroma grain, is not more clean only put luma grain?
I have seen in different productions for Paramount Plus and Netflix in which I have worked that the colorist does not apply chrominance noise reduction, is there a theoretical reason for this or is it just taste?
Taste and honestly it's not a huge issue especially when you can cover it up with delicious monochromatic grain.
🔥🔥🔥

u r awesome always♥
Thank you
