Self-learning colorgrading has been an amazing journey to me knowing the existence of both you and Kelly! You guys are really helping out tons of new players to this game
This is the most amazing thing. I literally got stuck on a project last year watched Darren’s videos which helped but then found Cullen after scouring internet and watched every single one of his videos to make me understand colour. His natural demeanour is so calm and relaxing he has not only made me a better colourist but a better director. Thank you both I never thought I’d get into colour the way I have and although I normally hire a company I now feel confident to do it myself on projects(even bought me new Micro panel which I love). Thank you both
Another thought watching this is that there’s amazing techniques for getting the very best out of material, but what I found really powerful is when you talk about techniques to edit in an efficient and quick manner. The majority of his nonprofessionals will never get to your level, but the techniques around making editing, colouring, efficient for me is the first port of call. Thank you to you both.
I love, love that both of you are so open about the business. Truly sets both of you apart! Just like Cullen said the secret, saucy secrets of colorists, very good interview Darren!
That was entertaining - Thanks for asking my question. I have a whole other philosophy on node trees as well. Too long to go into every detail here, but basically I break my node tree into all the jobs on set, and have the nodes ready to fix or enhance each job. So it still ends up being large because each job on set can be so varied. But by splitting them up in sections that represent different departments of a production, I can look at in through that perspective, which I think most colourists do instinctively. Your first series of nodes, I think have the same thought of achieving - i.e. Getting the footage to how I would like it coming straight from the camera - so all the fundamentals like Exposure, Balance, Contrast and Saturation etc. are all parts that if are looked at to get the ultimate shot footage. I then split to other jobs from the set - i.e. Lighting, makeup, set design and client focus - all leading to the subjective look and grade in the last stages of the node tree. And knowing your node tree, I think you are basically in a similar state of mind if not intentional at the least practical - you could literally take a print out of your node tree, and circle each departmental job from the set, and see that you are covering most of them in one way or another. For me if I look for things missed, overlooked or need enhancing on some footage I can try to improve the footage if I can.
Glad you enjoyed it Jim! Was great hanging out with Cullen and all the other great colourists on my trip. Yes I understand your idea - sounds a sensible way of thinking about it.
BTW, just painted my "studio" walls in middle grey and the flooring is also neutral grey - the colour perception has improved drastically! I am just starting to be serious about colour. Who cares in the EU, the wall paint is Tikkurila K499 Granite. @@DarrenMostyn
I can't say I fully agree with CK here, HDR provides a lot more than just a brighter image. I view it as the difference between a micro 4/3's and a full frame open gate camera. The fact that you can fit more in your image without a quality drop (clipping) is huge, not having to decide if you want to sacrifice shadow details to keep those highlights, etc. It is a bigger space, not just a brighter one. Second, you have to roll off things a lot more in SDR, because you always are going to compress the image into tiny Rec709. You don't have to worry about Tone and Gamut Mapping nearly as much when you have space for them to live naturally. Third, Rec2100 is a newer, and more modern standard, so if you have ever had a file appear different on your Mac vs your windows PC, that is a problem only found when using Rec709, all of those problems caused by outdated specs just disappear when you switch to a modern standard. You get better bit rate and less noise in the shadows on youtube due to better compression techniques, TH-cam will treat your HDR footage much more gently than your Rec709 footage. Fourth, for the most part, changing two settings (output gamut and output gamma) in your CST at the end is all you need to do to prepare a video for TH-cam in HDR, for the most part. Then just grade it as normal, adjust exposure and saturation as normal. This can get get more complicated if you have more advanced needs. Fifth, just because you have more space available, doesn't mean you have to use it. You can create an image that looks identical to a Rec709 image, in a Rec2100 image. You just get a bunch of the benefits above. I think it's odd that in a field where people strive to constantly create the best images, to completely ignore something that creates a better image (based on research studies, color science, surveys). I think it was found that people preferred a 1080p HDR video over a 4k SDR video of the same content, because the tonal range and colors were more pleasing. This is just my personal opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. :)
Brilliant video as always Darren, love the channel! Picking up on what you and Cullen were discussing at 25:00 about screen brightness. I generally work in a brighter room environment when i’m colour grading but sometimes find my reference monitor calibrated to rec709 set to 100 cd/m2 is not bright enough. Would bumping up the brightness to around 175 cd/m2 be acceptable?
Love the uncut interview style. Is there a place where your concept of rippling the edits down the line is discussed further? Is this something done in group grades through grabbing stills and applying those grades? Always something new to learn from this channel!
Hey Darren can you do a quick a video on the conversion steps needed to grade photos on Davinci? I heard a lot of people use Lightroom but I don't want to have to spend more time learning how to use another app when I'm already familiar with working in Davinci.
Cullen is the reason why my grading speed is improving a lot like I can get to the look that I want for the first clip around 10 mins or so then for the next 50-100 shot it usually take less than a min as 90% of the look already established by the first shot. I always stress tested the shot with couple other shots with extremely different lighting conditions just to see if anything would break.
Hi Darren. I have just come across your 'Newbie' tutorial, from a year ago, after recently downloading the free version of Davinci, and wanting some starter tips. It all seems straightforward, and you explain it well, however I have just come across 'ExFAT file detected not recommended for project libraries and may lead to corruption' etc. What should I do? If it makes a difference, I'm using MacOS Sonoma, and have set up my project Library on an external Lacie drive, where my raw videos are stored. Thank you so much.
Would love to see a "Grade Off" between between Darren Mostyn, Cullen Kelly and Qazi. Each has the same clips to grade, show the node tree, thought process and final grades.
they would never collab with Qazi. I've never seen them together. I have seen cullen, daria, casey, darren, alex together in different videos/collabs/events/conferences/interviews but none of them specially cullen and darren collabs with Qazi. And we all know why 😹
Great chat, love Cullens grade school and his philosophy on grading...you did miss the most important question which is...Do all colourists wear white trainers (sneakers), black trousers (pants) and a grey top while crossing their legs the same way !!!!!!
I think when grading most colourists wear black t-shirts - it minimizes the chance of your screen reflecting onto the screens in front of you- I think in this video Darren and Cullen were in their street clothes. ( out of uniform )
Nice to see you both talking, I guess you both represent best online colorgrading ressources for lot of people. BTW are you both wearing middle grey shirts, is there a colorist dress code you're hiding from us ? ;)
@@DarrenMostyn gotta love a practical wardrobe. I have tons of black t shirts, but since I got a couple of black merino tshirts, I basically wear nothing else haha
Ive noticed that converting my 10 bit vlog footage to DWG then to rec709 breaks my footage and causes me to see weird color artifacts that arent there in the log footage or going straight from vlog to rec709. Havent been able to find the cause
Make sure da Vinci wide gambit is on your first node and then converting it to 709 is your last node and then do all your color correcting in the middle.
It shouldn't break your image - turn off the tone mapping on the first CST and see if it helps. V-log to DWG doesn't really need tone mapping as the color space sizes isn't a huge jump in size - but it is going from DWG to rec709 on the second CST.
As a non-professional filmmaker (construction is my field) what works for me is the full node tree Darren designed; and modify it with Cullen’s Saturation node, exposure ramp dctl, his GROUPS with his Voyager LUTs in Post Clip. I just turn the secondaries off until after all grades are set. #lazyGirl
Sorry to bother you with this, but do you have any suggestions for fixing slight stutter in final, rendered 4K video? DaVinci Resolve 18.6. Computer: Lenovo Legion (CPU AMD Ryzen, NVIDIA 3060, 32 GB memory, 2 TB SSD, 4K Res). Media Source (DJI Pocket 3, some screen captures, FinePix JPEGs), Project Settings (Timeline res 3840x2160 ultra HD, 24 fps, Opt. Media/Render Cache 1/4 DNxHR HQX), Render settings: MP4, H.265, Auto encoder, 3840x2160, fps 24, Quality Auto-Best, Key frames Auto. When I render the final video, it has slight shutter/stutter the entire video. Anyway to fix this?
Maybe your video player is the problem. Import the exported video back in a new project in davinci resolve and see if the stuttering is still there. If it's not, the video should be fine.
Really really interesting chat. And I'm now intrigued by Rippling, what it does and how I can add it to my teeny tiny personal TH-cam projects. I only have one maybe two cameras, the other being a drone, so maybe this could help me in some way. As for Audiio, I'm not exactly impressed with them at the moment. The last three or four episodes that I've published have had TH-cam copyright Disputes. I've had Audiio for a couple of years but this is now becoming a common occurrence where the owner (?) of the music is disputing my right to use it in my TH-cam stuff. It can take up to a month to get resolved but till then the episode is demonetised. Its not a real problem for me as I'm
I'll be sure to pass this on to them. Thanks Frank. Not happened to me yet and i know a few companies using them, but I'll speak with them - They have good technical support.
@@DarrenMostyn I really like Audiio and in my humble opinion they add real production value to my small TH-cam projects even though I get a handful of views. However that's not the reason I put stuff on TH-cam. I just use TH-cam as a hobby and a method of relaxation by creating stuff. My real passion is playing around with Resolve and using the wealth of knowledge that you, and Cullen, have kindly published for free with altruistic desire to increase the knowledge and skills for anybody who wants to learn this amazing discipline. I'll be honest, long before I even heard of Colour Grading, I did not even realise that my perceptions of what I was watching was shaped by a colourist's artistic skills when I sat down to watch a documentary, music video or Block Buster film. I've dipped my toes into colour correction and a tiny bit of grading and I'm hooked. And its all your fault.🤣🤣
same principle - just use less nodes maybe. Because I have 20 or so nodes doesn't mean they all being used. A simple TH-cam look node tree maybe only 2 or 3 nodes. But I work in docs and Music videos a lot so I like to use this bigger node tree. Hope that helps.
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks. One goal I want is that when I do my videos i want them to still have a nice grade and not just look like a regular video just posted. But thanks again for your reply!
You must have reasons, maybe the demographic is too small and not worth your time… but, I have a question… I try all the time to find individuals on TH-cam who teach HDR Rec2020 the same as you and others teach SDR Rec709. There are a few, but they are not the quality you are and I don’t think they know what they are talking about. I don’t understand how this HDR is not spreading like wildfire. Do most people not have an HDR TV? I know their phone has an HDR screen. The difference between SDR and HDR is like night and day. I’m trying to do HDR but I suck at it, which is why I constantly look for individuals who can help me in the way you and others helped me for SDR. Do you know where I can find someone? Is there a channel I cannot find out there? Is everyone scared of HDR because of the format war between HLG, PQ, P3… Are colorist just keeping this for themselves? Why is it no one talking about this? Why does it seems like everyone pretends HDR doesn’t exist?
Mildly nervous raising my head above the parapet given your expert knowledge guys, but my understanding is TH-cam knows whether to send HDR or SDR based on the viewers device, screen capability, I may be wrong but I think there seems to be a real lag on the HDR front That’s perhaps through that classic phrase, not invented here syndrome. Given that most modern quality phones, tablet devices TVs and TH-cam can display HDR and even edit HDR I’m always confused why people would want to reduce it to a REC.709. this is coming from somebody who is rubbish at colour grading but I wonder if that invalidates what I’m saying.
Loved the node tree talk and rationale from both of your. ♥♥♥

Hi - I think for me its just habit of throwing it up in REC709. I know what im going to get and it will be achieved easily.
Don't fight boys your father and I love you both equally.
