Qazi, what I appreciate about your tutorials is the fact that each time you show different ways to achieve the same thing- it's not a paint by numbers play-along. Just your free content alone can push a person into professional grading, I can't imagine what your paid stuff is like. As soon as I can afford the course I'm diving in!
Please tell me, I can't find the function, the shift of clips when transferring, taking it with the mouse, so that it doesn't cut off the clips when you want to insert a clip between clips on the timeline?
Ok, besides the fact that this is a much-awaited lesson, for low light, dark looks, I learned another golden trick - the zooming out to compare the grade with the reference. Sometimes I get too lost in the details and lose the big picture. Priceless! Thanks Qazi!
I reckon this somber ambiance is more commonly employed by A24 and folks over at nife media. The obscure has evolved into something cinematic or carries that connotation-highlighting something significant while leaving the rest in shadow.
Great tutorial, but it would be even better if we know what was your shot coming from. log, raw, rec 709 ? what was your camera raw settings ? your project settings ? I followed the tutorial to the T but my results look nothing like yours. I´m using a cinema DNG clip 12 bit with a last node doing a CST to rec 709. I hope you could provide a bit more information ? thanks man.
hi, thank you for this video, I have exactly the same questions, what was your settings, when do you convert to rec709 ? thank you @thefalconking did you found answers?
This is pure black magic wizardry. Thank you for giving us a glimpse of what colorists do. That was truly eye-opening.

Dude, I just switched to Resolve and also in the process of finding a crack into the industry. Finding this channel is like a dream comes true. You're giving away for free what others are selling for tons of money. For that, I appreciate your work brother. You earned a subscriber!
Ive watched probably half of Qazis videos and never really understood how to get the look I was wanting... (Also being new to resolve and not really understanding how nodes work and being a little overwhelmed with the tools work) Then 10 minutes into the video with some playing around I had a major breakthrough and finally f*cking get it.. THANK YOU BRO
The other thing I have found that is absolutely brilliant about using this exact technique: you REALLY take control over the color space of your image. You can crank your saturation all the way, crush your darks and everything looks SO VIBRANT. There's SO MUCH DETAIL. It's fucking sexy as fuck. Thank you for making this, Waqas.
Good video, but I think you may have to adjust your Gamma. In the shadows on her head and arm that's above her head you can see banding, and my guess is this wasn't shot in 8 bit so there should be a bit better gain banding compression. I could totally be wrong and I don't mean to take a shot at you, I just think that the darks could be cleaned up a bit better. I don't know what your input/output settings are set at though.
Love this video! Loving FCM! The only thing I would do to finish this, if it were me, is bring down the cyan sat on the back wall a bit. Side by side, that was the only thing for me man....& I gotta say, I don't comment on stuff much, but learning what Im leaning is helping me find my "voice" in taste, confidence to talk about color, etc. So thank you for helping us become educated producers and less cynical consumers. Peace and Love dude!
Netflix is HDR delivery, so did you grade this in rec709 or Rec2020? I watched another of your videos where I thought you said that you only grade for rec709...
Lot of people on here talk about it, you consistently show you are about it. Impressive production quality as always brother. The look recreations are my favorite. I tune in and check out your channel and get excited every time I see you’ve uploaded something new!
You got me to finally make the transition from Premiere to Davinci. Haven't looked back, specially with all this great content to help me improve my color grading.
I'm quite new to lighting, color grading, etc. but I'm pretty knowledgable with the camera aspect of cinematography. So hopefully maybe some of you can give me some knowledge and tips on my question: If you get the correct focus straight out of the camera in your footage, what are the benefits of adding sharpness? personal taste? getting more detail from a lens that isn't as sharp as you want it? I'm genuinely curious and kind of confused about this aspect.
I doubt you'll see this since this video is 3 years old but I was watching through this and you mentioned that "the lighting is working in our favor" and I agreed heavily with that. Good color begins with good lighting (and art direction). I'd be really interested if you made a video that detailed how to light for a particular color grad in mind (bonus points if you touch on art direction). Maybe team up with a good cinematographer who you know.
This guy is just legit reading his comments with his audience and replying to them and just keeping people connected with him. Feels great brother and I really appreciate it. You seriously deserve a sub!!
Holy s**t. I literally was about to suggest this on the FB group, got a load of screen shots to upload! Well done. Season 3 has some amazing shots in the future setting.
Would u please make a video of the way u have ur sequence settings and the best settings for rendering and exporting at the best quality for 4k and 8k videos please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi . I love Your content , helped me a lot with me workflow. Could You tell me what tv/monitor You use as Your main display. I wonder is LG OLED tv's are good for that. I am planning to buy cx48. Would You help me to make a right choice,please? Thanks
Hey Qazi! I notice you wear that wrist guard type thing. I've been having major finger joint pain while edintg 7+hours and was curious if you use a certain ergonomic mouse and how does that hand support help?
Man i know its sounds melo but, i really reaaaally want to say "THANK YOU"! Because of you i learn so much about color grading and the idea behind of that. AND BECAUSE OF YOU, I AM NOT A LUT B*TCH ANYMORE, T-H-A-N-K Y-O-Y!!!
You're like a freaking magician. Every time I watch your videos, I'm like... how does he do that? Inspiring work, hopefully with enough practice I can become this good!
Hey bro, your content was so nice. but i feel bad when ads show in the middle of your intro. Adjust your mid video ads, you can ads it after end the intro or in the middle of video. i know you know much then me i am just new even i come here for learn from you :p dont mind . New subscriber
i don't know why i watched the whole video, i don't even edit videos 😂
😂💪🏾
Same lol
Me Too😂😂😂

One of my favorite shows and as a german I'm so happy you're covering this. Love the cinematography and colors in this series.
💯 it's one of the best TV series for sure
Waqas Qazi you have all material for editing color, all of Blackmagic Design
Dark is good but Babylon Berlin is a masterpiece.
Ok, besides the fact that this is a much-awaited lesson, for low light, dark looks, I learned another golden trick - the zooming out to compare the grade with the reference. Sometimes I get too lost in the details and lose the big picture. Priceless! Thanks Qazi!
💯 that's such a great Lil nugget.
I reckon this somber ambiance is more commonly employed by A24 and folks over at nife media. The obscure has evolved into something cinematic or carries that connotation-highlighting something significant while leaving the rest in shadow.
Qazi i can't express how happy i am to have discovered you, as a young film maker from Nigeria i do hope to learn more from you
Love you back brother 💪🏽
Even me bro but If u want to visi Rwanda here there is way th-cam.com/video/hxeLisypb3k/w-d-xo.html
0:30 THANK YOU!!! SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT ON YOUR SHIRT!!!! About bloody time!!
😂
DARK in terms of cinematography and grading is just so perfect! Thank you for this!
😀🙏🏽
After 5 years, i ve finaly found the BEST professor on grading!

Thankyou for breaking that down
Color makes such a huge difference
This is one of the hardest tutorials because the image is too dark to notice a tiny difference, but there's definitely a lot of things to learn!
💯
I get a feeling that more than your edits, it is the way you see an image that matters. Great job man 👍👍
😀🙏🏽
Speechless. Absolutely speechless. YOU ARE THE BEST WAQAS QAZI. This is the only thing I can say right now.
Thank you so much 😀

the only look that was super interesting in TV shows was in Fargo - season 2 and season 3. Very different from each other, but very unique.

Yes! That was a look!
@@gradedfilmsuk now the current fourth season has a subdued grade, nothing fancy, yet effective

Fantastic video! Question: those deep blacks you have, how would they look under false color? Purple? Blue?
Blue
These are incredibly simple to do. This node editing is really brilliant. I don't know if I can part with another $300 for more software on top of CS.
GOSH DANG QAZI!!!! that was incredible to watch!
😀 you know how I do. With the type of content you create this look with be very useful for you.
